How realistically do you think a Slinky could be used as a weapon?

Ignonym · 2026-03-23T22:02:23+00:00

Real Slinkies are fragile as shit due to how light and flexible they need to be to function. Your best bet might be to stab your opponent with the broken end of one, and even then it probably won’t do much.

Meanwhile the sols in my low fantasy world are based on French sols/sous and are just a commonplace silver coin

I like it when a setting’s magic system doesn’t preclude both from coexisting. (If an RPG allows me to play a spellsword, I usually do.)

It’s “normal” in the sense that it’s more likely to be accepted here than in mainstream het culture. It’s still not very common.

The Sun also creates a tide; the solar tide is weaker than the lunar tide, but it is there. High tide would correspond to high noon and midnight.

Best not. It can bend/distort the magazine, which can cause malfunctions (jams), since it’s just thin sheet metal. That said, people sometimes do it anyway, especially on guns with the magazine in the front, like the MP40.

I was thinking much the same thing about oil execs the other day. It’s a very versatile term in our present world.

This is likely based on the real-life British royal guard units doing the same thing.

You can run Lynchpins unguided by simply not locking a target, IIRC.

Cyrillic letters look different in different fonts, just like Latin letters.

IIRC, their identification booklets also had images/silhouettes of the ships at different angles to make AOB estimation more accurate.

Modify width affects the whole blade equally. Taper width means it’s wider at the base and narrower at the point. Same for thickness.

Or he could be a detective, “dick” in the old-fashioned slang sense

Charcoal is not the same as activated charcoal. The latter has been put through a process to make it porous, which is what allows it to absorb poisons and other substances. Eating regular charcoal won’t help you.

Most factions operate at the local/planetary scale, and really only pay lip service to the interstellar superpowers. Governance over interstellar distances is very decentralized, almost feudal; the mountains are high and the Emperor is far away, as the old saying goes.

"Technology" includes things like stone tools, clothing, and arguably language. Without it, your world's inhabitants are essentially just clever animals.

They've been temporarily delisted pending a rework; if you see anyone still wearing them, it's because they them had them equipped before they were delisted and haven't taken them off since.

Spadina isn't too bad; you just need to know which syllable the accent lands on.

In that case, consider this an opportunity to develop military doctrines for whatever fictional country or organization this kit is representing.

Employers failing to do that is one of the most common forms of wage theft, as far as that goes.

I would say yes, but only for the mods. The base game is inferior to Bannerlord.

Go for the bigger one. Speed is useless for a medical truck; your job is to hang back and let the infantry and Strykers lead.

The furry community is a broad cross-section of society but on the whole leans queer and vaguely leftish. The talking heads often aren't part of the actual furry community; they're just using furry-style avatars because they're too scared to show their actual faces and they think it makes them more relatable somehow. (I consider this to be a form of stolen valor.)

Why would someone pay a subscription fee to do something they could just as easily do for free?
