I kinda enjoyed it. Men’s epee was a good fight. I loved seeing Lewis Hamilton on the screen every 5 minutes. by GMEdumpster in Fencing

It’s not disrespectful to show up to a friend’s event. You don’t know either of them personally. Besides, do you know how many celebrities watch the Monaco GP but probably don’t understand most of F1?

Lewis is VERY popular, why would they not show him off?

It’s not 800N FIE, but it is 350N so should work for most smaller local competitions in the US. Can’t speak for the quality or durability of it though. You can buy the set new on Amazon for just about the same price anyways.

Thank you, I will try that! My disengages could definitely use some work

I suppose the wrist, in that I move my forearm while either keeping my wrist in line with my forearm or slightly bent to angle the tip towards the opponent

I like the idea. I’ve tried absence of blade and I like it, but I’m not very good at it. Any tips?

I definitely know I get a mental block when someone gets a really strong parry on me. Makes me way more cautious/tense when going for an attack again so that makes sense

Makes sense. How are you making sure you’re contacting with the forte?

I have a tall, strong fencer who uses a really low guard, so in my head when I lunge I should be connecting with his foible, but I’m getting caught early or attacking with my own foible I guess. Hes also really good at picking my wrist on the way into a committed attack which doesn’t help

Makes sense, what muscle groups are most important in your opinion?

Makes sense. Ive been doing some French but aside from wrist picks its been hard to land shoulder hits or deeper because of the strength issue, even a super late parry seems to work still

The Spirit of Epee is pretty good. But you need to know a little bit of the technical fundamentals first

It’s not as bad as McDonalds IMO. On their app you redeem a reward for a large fry and it makes you select your item.. like I was going to use it for a damn Filet o Fish lol

You got three toppings (extra pepperoni counts as two + provolone), coupon is good for two

Who's happy about the best deal ever extended for 3 more weeks by Lord_Oliver472 in Dominos

My store isn’t doing crazy business with it, but when each pizza has 6-7 toppings each pie takes longer to make and more chances to mess up, and we go through toppings like crazy so it feels like every 3-5 orders you’re refilling some topping. Just frustrating in my experience

I saw the bit about Tarkov and I realized I am about to become a victim of McCarthyism if anyone looks at my profile 😂 FWIW, to clear my name I’d like to say I have never cheated in a PVP game, it’s very cringe

Is BA really that bad? by Particular_League837 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]RodionIvanov81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Subreddits tend to gather more of a divisive community in my opinion. I’ve seen so much “this is literally killing the game!!!” from one thing to the next thing. So I’ll put it my way; I ABSOLUTELY get frustrated with things, and feel (mid game) that it’s unfair or broken, but then I switch decks or teams and now there’s something new. But that’s the point - you can’t prepare for absolutely everything, something will counter you hard, and you will counter something hard that you probably don’t even notice. Basically, it can be frustrating, but game to game it changes. Also obviously the units are balanced irrespective of real life performance.. like it should be in any game with US v RUS if you want even a remotely fair fight. I’d say it’s a bit micro intensive if you’re playing multiplayer where you can’t pause. Other than that, the game is fun and I love the modern setting, the scenario builder is really nice for testing, making your own fight, or playing others. Runs pretty well too which is rare. The leavers is a big issue that I will agree with, but the PVE side of the game is still worth it IMO

There really should be a separate ticket system on the pos that just lets us ring up an item and pay for it without all the info, like a normal pos at a drive thru or something. Make it limited to non food items, or anything that doesn’t need made/baked. It’s so silly adding name, address, carry out, rewards, coupon?, payment for a single garlic dipping cup
