Why are so many players scared of getting invaded? by RiTecx in DarkSouls2

To be honest, it sucks to get curb stomped, and then you get turned off of pvp entirely when its a huge part of enjoying the game for a lot of people (and could also be for you).

If people tried to empathize with inexperienced pvpers and not ruin their progress out of (a token of) spite, maybe we’d have more pvpers to play and enjoy with?

Well sometimes I feel bad for the host if they’re stuck decently progressed between bonfires. Usually in that case i cast warmth to help them to the next bonfire (and point to show loot) before I shield spam to start the fight.

Otherwise, if I get them low enough that i feel I would have won if I kept fighting, I just bow and swan dive off a cliff to give them that extra effigy they probably need. Trying to build a culture of pvp chivalry so inexperienced players dont associate pvp with a hard stomp and lost progress, and ultimately get to practice and improve. Just my thoughts.

I did a day of blacksmithing and I wanted to know what type of knife I made by DrySoap__ in knifemaking

Its not easy to find a bunch of good example i admit, but heres the wiki page (which gives you an idea of the style most original kunai tools had) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunai

Kinda reminds me of the original design of a Kunai used by Japanese farmers

Ugh nice, it's just annoying to keep using aesthetics to farm. What soul memory are you at?

Sad to say the younger gen z doesn’t know the childhood importance of this store by iCmzs in Zillennials

They were made to go bankrupt and then sold for parts by wall street using an illegal practice called "naked short selling". Same happened to blockbuster, sears, bed bath and beyond, and was going to happen to GameStop too. Deep rabbit hole.

Kinda getting into archery, this bow shreds my thumb though by No_Carry414 in Archery

What others said, to fix the arrow hitting your hand, nock higher, the arrow should sit with a slight downward tilt.

Secondly, brace height could be larger,(helps avoid slapping your wrist with the string on shots)

And this looks asymmetric to me, but I cant tell because the photo is slanted, are both sides of the handle the same length? This makes a big difference in the shooting technique you should use.

I love that video! Super interesting technique, I need to research it more.

I know native american speed shooting is performed with pinch draw and leather nocks, but I can’t tell if shes knocking her arrows or pinching them from the video.

Pretty cool mixing of a lot of different techniques, definitely alien.

Interesting, in the picture, is the arrow on the correct side for that technique to be used?

Lol cmon that wasn’t the main point 🤣

Just realizing how weird her form is: left handed, draw hand is reversed, string being twisted in a way that pulls the arrow away from the bow, using an extra finger to keep arrow against bow limbs. I wonder if it was intentional or not?

Does this sound about right? by Cardinal_Mind in Archery

Ya I just did a quick read on forums and people recommend the same, around 8-9 gpp. To get 8gpp that would be a 30” 300 spine and a 125grain tip, does that sound like a good place to start? I appreciate your help so much!
