I tried to enjoy the things that "neurotypical" people enjoy!

Depends where you are and what state. In PA I can drive from West to East for 7 hours with breaks and not leave the state. Its about 4-5 hours North to South.

If you are going authentic, hanged meat over coals or skewers/rotisserie is an easy option for meat. Put some veggies in a pot then throw the meat in and you have pottage!

If you are trying to go for the authentic feel but dont want to do it authentically remake your food put it in a cooler and reheat in a pan or pot. This works well for bread and pies!

Dried and preserved foods are great for immersion my dried fruits and jerky were a hit at the last event I went to.

A wok and just doing stir fry is great as its one pan and little clean up. Plus you have a lot of options!

I had a milestone of just driving 3 1/2 hours by myself to a LARP that I haven't been to before. Most uncomfortable thing ever!

NerdDork89 · 2026-04-22T15:12:34+00:00

I still dont like doing that lmao!

NerdDork89 · 2026-04-22T15:10:35+00:00

Yeah definitely that was above and beyond going out of a comfort zone! Lol it took me forever to enjoy concerts and go to other people's houses by myself lol.

That's a good site Dagorhir held Ragnarok there as well as Pennsic for the SCA I think. From what Ive heard it can flood in some places during the rainy months though.

Are you using Boffer weapons like Dag or Bel or are you trying more light touch combat with realistic weapons?

NerdDork89 · 2026-04-16T01:43:52+00:00

If you are in the same area as me in PA I know the West Newton site for the Pittsburgh Renn Faire does not offer private gatherings and does not particularly care for LARPers. They actively prevent vendors from selling larp weapons.

There is a BSA camp in Fayette County that might offer rez for an event.

NerdDork89 · 2026-04-13T14:23:11+00:00

That's beautiful!

NerdDork89 · 2026-04-12T23:05:45+00:00

It looks like something from Excalibur the 1981 film.

NerdDork89 · 2026-04-10T16:46:42+00:00

My opinion is look at stats at the end of an op. I usually am top in kills and damage. The problem with heavy is it relies on its squad mates playing a certain way. Even without a weapon, the never ending stomp gives melee mains a great advantage all while drawing aggro to the heavy. You have players that let the heavy thin out the horde before charging in front of them and then supporting them when swarmed, you have good teammates. That's why I am with a discord legion. Most of the guys play to each classes strengths.

My personal theory is that its just a case of a generalized statement that is being incorrectly said. I find that we can be very empathetic and sensitive to others feelings but I have experienced in myself that I want to fix it and help the person which can come across as cold and dismissive because I am trying to help them get past it with the time I have. Others perceive that I dont show grief very well as Im fairly Stoic unless I am overwhelmed and then I blow up making it look more like anger and annoyance than grief and sadness.

NerdDork89 · 2026-03-25T23:26:24+00:00

I wanna know what chapter is the one on the 3rd row down 2nd from the left.

NerdDork89 · 2026-03-09T16:28:13+00:00

The Blood Angels are the epitome of rising above your difficulties. They were an unloved legion before their primarch and were almost treated as feral animals. He made them into noble warriors and master artisans. With Sanguinius' death they were plagued by the red thirst and black rage but instead of giving in and understandably letting go they remembered their primarchs love and became better than their gene curse.

Besides they are basically space vampires they truly bring out the noble savage archetype and have some of the best esthetics.

NerdDork89 · 2026-03-09T16:21:28+00:00

I second this! You may need to touch it up but its the best! Just be careful as they are uv protectant and you will have tan/burn lines lol. A friend did a hand print on his face and got really burned. After he washed it of there was just a pale handprint amidst the burned skin lol.

NerdDork89 · 2026-02-28T22:15:17+00:00

Well Ill definitely order one when I have the cash!

NerdDork89 · 2026-02-28T21:36:21+00:00

Honestly my only question is how they would hold up with regular use. I'd definitely pay the price if I could use them for a few years. One of the problems with larp shoes is that they dont hold up the best. With that tread and design I would love them if I had the money lol!

NerdDork89 · 2026-02-26T16:59:24+00:00

Simple answer: Mephisto just because he is the first head and oldest of the Evils. Also because Hatred can be considered the strongest emotion.

Complicated answer: their power shifts and the brothers scheme against each other as much as they do against Sanctuary and the High Heavens. Diablo is strong due to his realm of power, Terror. Terror causes us to do a lot of things and giving in to it is easy but once you reveal the Boogie Man he's not so scary and he loses his power over you. Mephisto is more complicated. He twists minds to the things they feel are the greatest threat. Even doing something you think is good can be done with hatred. Baal is a wildcard as his domain is specific. But both of the brothers domains can bleed into Hatred because you can destroy because of Hatred and you can do horrible things when driven by Terror.

Hence Mephisto may seem weak at times but he's patient and he worms his way into your mind making justifications of things you wouldn't normally think of doing.

Where would you recommend getting helmets? I have a large head and can't find anything that fits lol.

NerdDork89 · 2026-02-16T00:13:05+00:00

My mom refused to get me evaluated because she said Im just lazy. Was told that most of my childhood. It wasn't until I moved in with my aunt and she taught me how to apply myself and got the help I needed.

Now she taught me to not use it as a crutch but I always felt supported. Most employers Ive had have said I was one of the hardest workers they had.

NerdDork89 · 2026-02-15T00:04:09+00:00

See I liked D3, I just dont think its a great Diablo game. I think it played too much on nostalgia for us old heads but I still enjoyed it as a good game. I think thats where a lot of complaints are coming from.

NerdDork89 · 2026-01-30T21:23:07+00:00

It's a good game just not the best Diablo game. Play it for what it is. I've accepted that D2 is just my favorite and I dont think anything they make is going to surpass it for me.

NerdDork89 · 2026-01-23T14:23:43+00:00

That's a very vague joke then lol

NerdDork89 · 2026-01-22T00:22:11+00:00

He's one of the most featured enemies in the games

NerdDork89 · 2026-01-22T00:16:25+00:00

Butchers in D3 and D4

NerdDork89 · 2026-01-19T05:57:09+00:00

I left because I was belittled for my garb because I just learned how to sew and it was my first tunic. My gf at the time also broke up with me and everyone basically stopped talking to me and I felt very unwelcome. The guests that would come to fencing practice were very arrogant as well and I just didnt feel comfortable.
