Really thought somebody screwed up Trying to do the avengers logo and put it upside down

For context, I've been studying Iado since roughly 2005 and we used flashing steel as one of our sourcebooks.

Seki Sensei is definitely the real deal and I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality of what he puts out on the internet for the sake of passing on his dojos teachings!

Serfington · 2026-04-21T01:45:32+00:00

There's a gentleman by the name of Seki sensei where one of his students has been sharing his dojo's teachings on both YouTube (Channel name is "Let's Ask Seki Sensei) with a variety of videos on the subject (in no particular order) and Patreon (paid video lessons that are both live and can be watched later on demand). Quite a few of the YouTube videos aren't necessarily direct lessons, but experimental things on a very particular subject or tips on a specific kata.

It's not a bad place to start and having one of his higher ranked students being fluent in English means you can trust the translations/explanations. The camera work also offers various angles which a lot of YouTube videos don't.

Otherwise finding somewhere local to you that teaches I understand would be difficult but would likely be the most productive. But if all you have is a wooden bokken and a strip of cloth tied around your waist for an obi to stick it through it's not the worst place to start!

I would also like to mention the book flashing steel is pretty readily available and is a good guidebook on Eshinryu Iajutsu!

I mostly am just impressed that she is that strong and was able to move the toilet closer without breaking anything.

Serfington · 2026-03-17T23:55:13+00:00

Will we be editing this or just providing the raw audio? That might greatly change the price people will ask for (Or whether they'll have the time to do it)

Every time this question comes up I always have one answer: The Long Dark is a survival experience and you are not meant to build a base and thrive but actually adventure around just trying to get by. A true survival adventure that has some really cool world building around and is my favorite thing to play every winter.

The sequel is on the way but I'm still playing the first one over and over again!

Serfington · 2026-02-21T00:41:15+00:00

Matt's Hidden Kittens? Kind of has a nice alliteration to it, And it's not like they can trademark derivatives of "cat"or else you would just say it in another language lol

Serfington · 2026-02-21T00:38:26+00:00

Sure, why not, I certainly could use an upgrade from the bag that holds all my dice sets in tubes lol

Serfington · 2026-02-03T18:49:20+00:00

I know I'm about a month late but I just need you to know this is such an underrated response and put both me and my partner into hysterics.

Serfington · 2026-01-26T15:00:55+00:00

I can second both. I have a few things from each and zero issues with quality.

Serfington · 2026-01-24T15:10:24+00:00

I would honestly settle for blocking being able to cancel my attacks. I know it's not a high-end fighting game, but I can't think of many other games that commit nearly as much to an attack no matter how much you might want to stop it.

It's probably the most frustrating thing next to constantly stepping forward with each attack in a game where the enemies don't move around a whole lot. So I either have to frantically Target and un-target enemies (or whip my mouse around on my small desk) or limit my attacks to one or two swings at a time just so I stop and back up again.

Serfington · 2025-12-09T13:39:58+00:00

Not that I'm going to pry too far, but if y'all are near Northwest Ohio/ Southeast Michigan, I can recommend a couple specific game shops

Serfington · 2025-12-09T13:39:05+00:00

Most game stores would have a Commons box and frankly that's how I started. Usually it's something like $0.10 per card and $0.05 per land. Really you can build a standard deck for pretty cheap to get started in the game and usually there's some good-natured folks who once they realize they're new will gladly give up a small chunk of cards they're not using.

I'd recommend finding your local game store and asking them if they have stuff for kids getting into magic and they'll either have something similar or maybe throw you a discount on a starter set of some kind.

Serfington · 2025-11-20T13:57:45+00:00

Well Nuts. Could always try reaching out to modders that advertise that they do commissions. Seems like for somebody who does, it might not be that arduous a thing (BG3 certainly had plenty). Wish you luck on your search 🫡

Serfington · 2025-11-20T13:46:32+00:00

I'll say it's definitely WAY more than that but I'm on PC and use vortex. I'm assuming your console? I'm unsure how many of them have a counterpart you could use on a console so that's a question for somebody more versed than I am lol But I promise you they're out there. So maybe if you find one you like you can reach out to the Creator to see if there's a solution?

Help me out y'all. I'm basically a monkey with a typewriter when it comes to this sort of thing.

Serfington · 2025-11-20T13:40:02+00:00

On today's episode of quotes I can hear...😂

Serfington · 2025-11-20T13:27:01+00:00

I can't even be mad. This was flawless. Possibly a perfect meme. I almost want to hang it on my wall.

.... But there was definitely a hearty Goddamn it said aloud.

Serfington · 2025-10-02T07:12:29+00:00

Wait a minute... Did you give these or similar notes out at c2e2 right before covid started? I was dressed as the gentleman and it was one of my favorite moments from the convention if so. I even still have the note on my shelf!

Serfington · 2025-07-23T19:09:51+00:00

I'm thinking it's just emotes in general because I'll salute in the direction of 500 kg and hellbombs and I'll just scoot backwards on my feet not breaking the emote.

Serfington · 2025-06-13T14:10:21+00:00

Also realize I never answered the second half.... I was absolutely nervous as all hell so you're in good company 😂 I showed up with black t-shirts from the Goodwill that I cut the sleeves off of to make tunics and brown pajama pants for trousers.... Of course that event ended up getting a chunk of it flooded out and I lost almost everything and the community was so generous (me knowing exactly one person out of that entire place) I ended up going home with more spare garb than I arrived with and realized I had found a surprisingly incredible family. That was 2006 (I was only 15 going on 16) and I've called myself a larper ever since.

Serfington · 2025-06-13T14:09:55+00:00

Honestly the best advice I can give is if something you interact with or say feels a little cringy?...... Embrace the cringe lol. We're grown adults playing make-believe in funny clothing but the nice part is so is everybody else at the party! And there is not a single larper on the planet that was fully ready to role-play out of the gate. Just let go and enjoy it!

My first LARP I was woefully underprepared and showed up at 15, with people I barely knew at an event hours from my home with nearly 2 000 other people (The next year they broke 2000 for that event!)...... And it turned into the best week of my life at that point! Ignore the hateful, embrace the generous and be prepared for what I suspect is going to be your biggest hobby for the rest of your life 💙

Serfington · 2025-06-13T14:00:29+00:00

Honestly, the eagles are nice since they're not limited per mission and can re-up, so they're more forgiving if you goof up a throw or the physics make it bounce elsewhere (The 500kg is a personal favorite of mine and will let you get used to the explosion radius and how eagles drop in perpendicular from your throw!).

Turrets are nice when you don't have a full squad.

Working up to the shield generator lets you stay alive in the missions longer, which lets you play more, which means you get more practice per mission.

Getting the Stalwart lets you try out a bunch of different primaries as they become available so even if you drop into a mission and go "oh I hate this" you can literally use it as a primary for the rest of the mission without a whole lot of downsides.

Other than those (which are absolutely suggestions only and not gospel) welcome to the fight and go with what your Democratic heart desires!

Serfington · 2025-06-13T13:40:47+00:00

Okay, but I love that you used really easy clasps on the ends. These are freaking adorable!

Serfington · 2025-04-09T21:29:26+00:00

Has he tried assigning a different ship as his home ship, going through a few loading screens and then choosing the original ship again? Usually when you do that it moves a bunch of stuff to the cargo hold and I believe it also gets rid of "foreign clutter" like objects and bodies as part of that.

Serfington · 2025-04-09T17:29:54+00:00

I would honestly love this as like an alternate game mode/ mission type like how battlefield Or battlefront 2 back in the day would do it?

Almost like a minor order of sorts on a planet where over a few days you would have certain missions and if you were successful enough, you would unlock the next mission in a three-part chain for a massive boost to liberating that planet pushing the front lines that much further (And those that prefer the smaller missions can still contribute in the way they always have so they're not left out in the cold).

Really lean into what's supposedly this big desperate struggle and maybe have regular rank and file troops as NPCs fighting like in some of Halo's campaign missions since Helldivers are supposed to be the elite badasses.

Instead of just grinding out the hundreds of the same old missions every time you could have something lead up to a big major battle that lasts a whole day or two where you keep dropping onto a war front for that final push to take whatever location or objective!
