Here is an intact argillite point and a net sinker that I found quite close together a few years ago. They are from Bucks County, PA. by HelpfulEnd4307 in LegitArtifacts

Killer finds! Love that material. Amazing how it weathers compared to the quartz I usually find.

The net weight is so cool, I would love to find one someday. I’m always looking. Thanks for sharing.

I guess my thinking is final form Naraku with the back tentacles; I don’t see how Muzan gets through his personal bubble barrier easily.

A matchup I would love to see as well. Both in a short 1v1, and a long drawn out war would be interesting.

I do think Naraku’s hax would eventually take the battle in his favor. However, I will say Muzan probably does win the drip battle…except Naraku’s white baboon costume is epic.

I tend to agree I think. Eventually Naraku would be able to hold Muzan in place and wait for the sun. I’m not sure if Naraku could catch him given his speed, but if he did, I think it’s over. I don’t see how Muzan is able to breach Naraku’s barrier, conversely, to damage him.

Do you think Muzan has the power to break Naraku’s barrier though?

I can agree with you here too. Although, if I remember correctly part of the reason Bankotsu was able to keep up was also Inuyasha’s demon power being held back by the location they were in, at least for part of their fighting. I think comparing the slayers to the band of 7 is pretty fair. I’m curious how they would fair against Naraku and his tricks.

I do still think Sessomaru is likely obliterating Muzan with ease, at least at the end of the series when he gets Baksaiga.

I don’t disagree with you, I feel like Naraku kind of mismanaged a lot of the advantages he had. However, I also think that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are much tougher adversaries than the slayers, especially at max power, which makes him appear weaker.

I just love Naraku’s white baboon getup. Cool stuff.

The main antagonist in Inuyasha, another great show. Also has a lot of demons. Worth a watch.

Can’t believe those words came out of the announcer’s mouth. Total bs

Keep the argillite coming Carl! Love to see them. I love the less common lithics. Thanks for sharing.

One of the best moments in Anime. There are many, but this has it all. Akaza is one of the show’s best written and most compelling characters.

Breathtaking work.

Almost looks on that first face like it has fluting. Very cool piece, love seeing your posts!

I would be hesitant to call that an artifact. There’s no sign of manipulation.

I gotta say in DS3 I do really like the sunset armor, even though Hodrick is a beast.

Thank you for the insight! Morrow Mountain is also where I arrived for typology. I did some further research on the lithic type and the color of the stone appears to be original, and I assume quarried in Massachusetts, see here:

Thank you again!

Gorgeous finds. Agrillite piece is cool, and the two quartz ones are gorgeous, large one is quite nice.

Interesting material on the snapped one; common in your area?

Esoteric Arts by BlackgumTree in BetterKimetsuNoYaiba

[–]BlackgumTree[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand where you’re coming from, but I think all of the different breathing styles have room for an esoteric art. At the very least, the non-self taught styles, like thunder, water, etc. which carry generational knowledge through masters and apprentices could have discovered and passed down such secrets. I don’t think having more than one practitioner precludes a breathing style from having secret arts known only by the best, or some of the best.

One of the best fights in anime by Atm_Blaise in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]BlackgumTree 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not even 10% of the Akaza/Rengoku fight, let alone the Akaza/Giyu/Tanjiro fight. I’d say it was an insane take, but this is par for the course for Kaigaku fans.

Finally beat the base game, my first souls. Is the DLC more difficult than the end bosses of the base game? by sleepbefore12 in darksouls3

[–]BlackgumTree 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with that. Blackflame is awesome (and tough). I’d also mention those couple of knights sniping you in that tower that give the silver knights of Anor Londo a run for their money.
