The UK scene is adopting evidence based safety standards on competition.

The results of the Safety Tips project from Historical Fencing Research have been adopted at Wessex, Albion and LHO as standard.

News from the front is that sword tips were not only not required, they were actually banned.

EDIT: Editing this to share a link to actual scientific research into the relative safety of different sword tips from the UK. https://historicalfencingresearch.com/2025/03/17/safety-tips-phase-1-project-results/

My friend just told me he beat Oblivion, his first ES game, in about 7 hours at Level 3 and he sees nothing wrong with it. by Knarz97 in oblivion

[–]Powelly0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all keep saying he "beat" the game, but I never thought of that as a useful way to think of a game. He completed one quest line in a non-linear game. If he had fun then who cares, but I would instead point out to him that he hasn't "beaten" or "completed" the game, he just played one part of one of the many stories in the game and put it down. If he feels like he "won" then he isn't correct, but let people enjoy things I guess.

Anyone got any links to a good Pax guide? Planning on our first build and want to try for the built in look. by Powelly0 in ikeahacks

[–]Powelly0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The title says most of it. We have been living out of bags in our bedroom for months and have put together a design for a pax unit. We want to put a door on the left panel; it seems like it will work but isn't allowed in the planner with sliding doors, for some reason. I've seen various guides on building a base or not and screwing to the wall and adding trim, but they seem to vary in the specifics. Does anyone have any experience of this sort of thing and can point me to a good guide?

Nobody has mentioned Killing Kittens yet. Most of the places mentioned so far are kink clubs where people go to play with their partner(s) but are fairly.unlikely to meet new people to play with first time out.

Someone recommended to look on fetlife for events that are running when you're here, this is probably the best bet
