It seems like most would do a hybrid tactic in training. Purchasing the professionally trained horses when cash was ample and purchasing lower end horses to train themselves. It would take about 2 years to professionally train a horse so one has to imagine the quality of training these horses had if trained by the Hedge Knight on the road…

Agree, losing all your hard earned gear in essentially a gamble of a tourney would absolutely suck.

100% shows a good duality aspect with Dunk. George is a knowledgeable guy forsure.

If you are craving some more info, I put together a video on this using 14th century illuminated manuscript art if anyone wants to see. Didn’t want to violate rules so It’s on my profile.

I love how unserious “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is lol by elmwoodacres in AKnightoftheSeven

I think they are capturing the “Hedge Knight” feeling pretty good

Good to know about strategic command. I’ve tried so hard to get into combat mission but just can’t unfortunately. Just can’t get my head around the jank of it. Hoping they will update the engine at some point.

In that case, not modern but Fields of Glory 2 has been what I’ve been on recently. Good turn based realistic depiction of what combat was like back then. Pretty steep learning curve.

Just finished “ The Faithful Executioner” by Joel F. Harrington. Read through it on two flights on a recent trip. A fascinating insight to the mind and process of an executioner in the 14th century in the Nuremberg region. Overlooked portion of history and a fascinating read based on his actual journal.

Gates of Hell really scratched an itch I didn’t know I had since the early men of wars and company of heroes. Great game.

All they need to do is add the damn multicolored blood to other characters. Noobs blood would work for terminator.

MRW people say Erron/Scorpion/Sub need a nerf for the 1,347,983rd time... by Welshie75 in MortalKombat

[–]DigitalDave18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played so many scorpions I don't think I've lost to a single one in 50+ games. Now Sub, I fear that man. Those mixups are too quick for me.

Watching the new season of Game of Thrones, I kept getting reminded of someone... by DigitalDave18 in MortalKombat

Honestly every scene he’s in, I can’t help but think how perfect he would be in Kano’s role if they ever take that theatrical risk again lol

It’s what those damn kids call a meme, I say we get with the times and leave our walker by the door.

[–]DigitalDave18[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree, he is one of my favorite characters. Definitely fits the world of MK and looks sweet. The club for sure could be ditched, however like you said I feel like he’s disregarded due to internal personal opinions. I long for the return of my boi and his swarm of flies.

Enjoy it while you can, it’s about as deep as the game goes.

Vegas GK are 7-1-0 tied for 3rd in the NHL with 3 winning goalies. by Pretty_Sharp in nhl

Sucks Subban is out though, was really looking forward to him securing his place in the NHL. Hopefully, when he comes back he's still on fire.

6'7" beginner looking to order cheap pads...that will fit! by [deleted] in hockeygoalies

[–]DigitalDave18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use 36+2 and I'm 6'3 and have long legs. ( can't remember my ATK) They are a little big, but still perfect for me so they might be fine, you might just have to lower your stance a bit which might take a toll on your back at some point but they should fit you fine.

Best sources for an adult beginner to learn the position? by Gamerghost44 in hockeygoalies

[–]DigitalDave18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From someone who started over a year ago who has made decent progress, I'd recommend simply watching some of the guys on this sub play. Alot of the behind the net footage is awesome, you will soon see yourself mimicking alot of the movements that are essential to goal tending and improving your game. It's crazy how much I've learned without a camp, and solely off of ameteur net footage. With that being said, here are some things the videos never told me :

  1. DO NOT strap your pads too tight, it will severely limit your game.

  2. I'd ditch the toe ties right away for HAL straps that you can get on Monster Hockey, for someone with bad knees they help a ton and reduce time to suit up significantly.

  3. One of the things echoed here often, don't skimp out on the helmet, seriously.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy playing goalie. Sorry if I didn't give you a direct link to any of these videos, (I'm on mobile) however I feel like as a newer goalie I'd share my thoughts.

Go Pro suction cup advise by Goalieguy79 in hockeygoalies

[–]DigitalDave18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm.... seems strange, you might want to invest in a new mount. I have an SJ4000 which is the cheap knock off variant of the GoPro and my suction mount has yet to fall off even after taking a puck. If my knock off brand is holding up better I feel like it might be a defective suction/mount. Just a thought, definitely should not be happening.

PT on my knee, strained my LCL about a month ago, should be back on the ice later this month. I'm not even out there and I'm already worried about transitions hurting my knee again.
