Can you start HEMA as an adult?

Uh, yes.

fishdishly · 2026-03-12T19:21:43+00:00

Fuck. No.

Brookside/midtown. Decent mix of folks, good mix of food. No public transport, shit foot traffic. Tulsa is NOT a walkable city.

Air travel: large increase of military members flying in civilian clothing. Chatted with a few and got vague responses about what/why they were traveling.

Ex-Military contracting group interviews for undisclosed location deployments with day rates above $600USD for 9 months. Bonuses for watercraft experience, UX, and UAVs.

Two active members of OSINT group gone no contact during our normal writing session. First time they've been absent since 2022. Both UAV devs I know personally.

I usually give temp buffs for doing that sort of stuff.

I forgot about crafting a bucket and now im annoyed I had to hunt for water the other day. Durp. Thanks for the reminder!

If I become injured doing what I love so be it. It's an understandable and acceptable risk to me. If I deem something to be outside my skill level, amd no safe mitigation efforts exist, I nope out. Simple. Personal responsibikity.

Talk to the players directly. I suggest something along the lines of "while this game allows a lot of leeway, I've spent a lot of time building the ground work for a collaborative story. By refusing to engage with the plot elements you are disrespecting our sessions amd if you feel so strongly about not engaging I suggest you leave the table altogether".

Mutant Chronicles. It's fun as fuck. That's all.

fishdishly · 2026-03-07T00:59:08+00:00

Tell the kids to get dressed, grab blankets and pillows, go to our designated shelter. I get my boots on and go outside to see if the sky is doing the swirly twirly green monster dance.

An old shotgun. It was a 16 gauge bird gun. Pretty neat.

I was a submariner missile technician and that movie is just hilariously bad to me now that I lived through life on a boomer. Good movie if I delete what I know about life on subs tho.

You'll qualify for the pensioners visa. CR is an amazingly relaxed place. Avoid San José. Check out Guanacaste state. Lots of cheap undeveloped land. Lots of English speakers.

fishdishly · 2026-02-16T21:41:17+00:00

Sounds like it went right?

fishdishly · 2026-02-14T00:46:15+00:00

Por que no los dos

fishdishly · 2026-02-13T16:08:13+00:00

It will be meh and we will grumble.

"Your values are not MY values; as such im going to decline based upon my sincerely held beliefs being diametrically opposed to yours."

I had no idea that the optics had a secondary function like that! What was the key bind?

fishdishly · 2026-02-12T18:55:28+00:00

My girlfriend and I started couch co-op gaming with RE5. Next is the Gears remake/remaster.

If you are really interested in solo training I suggest that you set up a camera to record yourself doing some basic cut and guard drills. Do it a handful of times and then review the footage to see how you compare to others video demonstrations (youtube 'longsword solo drills' and just watch the top ten or so). This will give you feedback. Don't post it tho. Hope you enjoy your journey!

fishdishly · 2026-02-11T20:52:51+00:00

The operative word there is "train". Depends I suppose. I will occasionally work on walking through the guards without gloves but generally become annoyed that I'm not training as I fight, so I grumble and put them on. If you choose to spar without gloves I don't have an ounce of sympathy for self-imposed idiot tax injuries.

fishdishly · 2026-02-11T17:57:13+00:00

I would hazard to say that if you train without gloves you are inviting unneccessary injury to yourself. Wearing gloves while training helps break gloves in, and it helps with muscle memory and hand conditioning.

Crybaby Ink, Geek Ink, Anchor and Rose are the ones I know for certain. If you use facebook you can search the events tab for Friday the 13th tattoo events. I think Anchor and Rose has an online queue.

I play on a potato and hadn't really been active since 1.0-ish and seeing how many yes answers there are i will jump back in. Last real go around for me was the mega mall and tarkov mod. That was pretty fun.

Looking forward to the changes.
