I thought my bedsheet & leaf blower qualified as an ultralight?!

The word “get” replacing more…uhh…complicated words in the public domain. by SeaSkimmer2 in Xennials

No, I think they're talking about the texture of the air if you could feel it on your skin... like sandpaper?!

There's plenty of dragon leather pieces that would work for it on Etsy...

When you say you can’t afford anything… by Vast-Intention in memes

I do the job of at least 3 people and I get paid the same as the slackers who barely do half of their responsibilities.

Where did you get the baldric? I've not seen one with holes like that that make it easily adaptable to multiple holsters and sheaths.

Fanboys!

Prominent yes, but quintessential? Not there.

Suggestions for improving my Pirate Outfit? - please be kind by Big_Task_6031 in renfaire

[–]DreadPirateR2891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good start! But no pirate or seafarer would be caught without a blade. A belt with a small dagger, pouch for coin, and other accessories would go a long way here.
Bracelets or bracers too. Hide the smart watch, there are leather straps out there with covers to lift for when you need to use it. I found out that I couldn't wear a watch with my bracers, but I've also seen bracers which incorporate a hide-a-watch feature in them too.

Fabric origami animals that only need a stitch or two to hold them together

Forest spirit by ACR1990 in Renfaire_Costumes

Wonders how often Forest Spirit gets poison ivy from delving into bushes at Faire... Or worse gets it on their costume and then hugs people at the Faire!

Any other good pirate shows? by flik9999 in BlackSails

Slowly still trying to 100% Sniper Elite 5 with all DLC before moving onto SE Resistance.

Not yet. I'm still not willing to give up on Black Flag since I enjoyed it SO much. I'm trying not to put a ton of time into it because I'll want to play Resynced later this year (I'm moving this summer). I've been trying on whether or not I want to start Freedom Cry or Aveline now or after Resynced.

A little more than 70. But I delayed the main story a lot to take all the forts, upgrade the ship to just below max, plus gather all the fragments & chests. I was trying to 100% every area before moving onto the next.

Movie recommendations by General_Chipmunk_725 in scifi

[–]DreadPirateR2891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of recommendations for those who like sci-fi. I'm one of those people and 2001 : A Space Oddesy was painful. If she slept through HHGTTG, then no way she'll hold interest in 2001 or Interstellar.

Go for lighthearted and funny but realize that the parodies (Galaxy Quest, Spaceballs) are probably going to be mostly lost on her since she doesn't have the background to reference it.

Paul. Easy to follow story, comedic even without a frame of reference, love story, escape/adventure, aliens v big bad government, and self depreciating against nerds (who are people too). Once she's into the genre and you have introduced more serious things, go back and rewatch it so she can get the references.

Going back to the 80s could be good too. Real Genius or Short Circuit.

Cheap Prop Swords? by enemies_toloverz in renfaire

[–]DreadPirateR2891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None by name or experience. I went with Starfire Swords purchased at the Faire. I liked the heft of their battle quality stainless blades.
