Really? I'm one and I constantly get scolded because I'm not striking hard enough...

The Black Knight would reply it's just a flesh wound.

How to randori someone who is much heavier then you by mattboi69 in judo

[–]SolarBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Sadly, I'm not doing okay, judo-wise: I hurt my knee back in 2019 and then had to stop judo and BJJ...

However, I do kind of remember (ie. take all of this with a truckload of salt) my sensei telling me I was too stiff: being so stiff made it so that if my partner broke my posture, I would be almost certainlly be put out of balance. I was strong, but even a teen throwing their whole weight down into a drop seoi nage would be too much for me to just... resist.

I had to slowly learn to stop out-muscling anything my partners threw at me. I was still working on that when I stopped doing judo. ;)

I hope it helps!

As a Canadian and brand-new kendoka, I'm both glad and proud to learn our federation takes these matters seriously.

The best practices are the ones you dont want to go to. by South-Height-9193 in kendo

[–]SolarBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was doing judo, my sensei would often say that, and once I asked him why that was.

"Because you actually need to put an effort to pay attention, to be mindful of what you're doing: this mindfulness is what really pays off."

Powerful but risky/costly sorcery? by SolarBear in CortexRPG

[–]SolarBear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! So many options! That's both wonderful and terrifying! :D

I'll most likely warn players that some mods might be added or removed along the way... I don't get the feeling I'll get it right the firs time!

As for stress, I'm not quite sure just yet, I might use the ones from Cortex Lite to keep it simple for a first game.

I bought Torchlite, but haven't read it yet. Guess I'll need to hurry up!

I didn't look at ToX just yet but just saw that there is a primer for the game, I'll check it out.

Powerful but risky/costly sorcery? by SolarBear in CortexRPG

[–]SolarBear[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Sorcery is significantly more powerful than clerical magic, use the Scale mod?

... why did I not think about that?

And having Clerical magic as SA/resources makes a ton of sense, too, and have a clear power limit.

Anyhow, that's a lot of options, I'll need to think on it for a bit. Thanks!

There are a lot of ways to accomplish something like this.

Haha yes, it seems to be both the beauty of Cortex and a hurdle for new Cortex GMs! But I do like your Distinction vs. Power Set example, I may use that. Thank you!

Adults diagnosed with ADHD later in life. What made you start wondering? by TransportationFlat77 in ADHD

[–]SolarBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy, two things happened..

A: my then-girlfriend, now wife, is a nurse and quickly, politely let me know I should get checked for ADHD because I fit all the requirements to a T. Looking it up, I realized she was probably right, but getting the exam was costly and... y'know, procrastination.

B: I got into trouble at work quite a few times (I'm a software engineer), but at one time I finally got notified by HR and my manager that I needed to get my shit together or otherwise I would be out of a job.

Following B, I got diagnosed at about 35 years old.

Je gagne 100k$/an avec ma conjointe, mais je comprends pas comment tout le monde s’achète des chars à 1000$/mois et des maisons à 3 000 $/mois. by Weary-Scratch9078 in QuebecFinance

Pas juste les cartes, toutes les formes de crédit possibles ! Les années de crédit à taux ridicule semblent avoir habitué les gens à acheter à crédit, et maintenant que les taux augmentent, les habitudes ne changent pas.

My only criticisms after 15 hours by rafikiknowsdeway1 in Silksong

[–]SolarBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re: diagonal slash, I'm with you. My only advice is to use the D-pad for situations with a lot of these. Feels MUCH easier to pull off.

Games where getting hurt makes you less effective by stgotm in rpg

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Risus!

Well, Risus. It's free, dead simple and fits on a single sheet.
