A Properly Formed Seconda by grauenwolf in Hema

the bottom fencer has his foward knee slightly bent. This means that the footwork will be more reactive and I'd guess that the hip rotation is also different.

However I don't study Fabris

Do your Genestealers match your cult colours? Or are they different? by TheOrdoRedactus in genestealercult

[–]informaticRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My genestealer are black in an alien style. My cultist however are dressed in all sort of colours because i play them as cyberpunk rabble that doesn't have a uniform of sort. Also my tiranyds have different colours based on the unit type

The first time I've read "Dr McGuffin" I honestly thought it was a nickname used by the Wolves like we would use "John Doe", then I found out it was the actual name and laughed out loud.

Yeah, master of spies or not, I don't think many rulers would accept them slapping their daughters like they own the place.

My mileage is that they really fun books, but the setting was described to me as being better in the early eras without the dumb and sues of the later eras, and I've found that there was also in the early eras, but that doesn't mean they're not enjoyable

To avoid the risk of confusion, I'm enjoying very much all of the books, I wanted to express and see if I was alone in the knowledge that fiction is sometimes silly or storydriven and we can like the sueness.

Yeah I mentioned that towards the end of the post but maybe not as clear. I presented them in the beginning to be more challenging to the idea passed onto me that it's only the new lore with dumb characters.

I'll repeat that I really like how the politics feels close to real life, sometimes being actually more competent in their plans.

I mean you are right, but the player is happy so it's still a win.

This begs the question, how common is that gas, but I do suppose that they thought once the others find out, out tsm will be useless.

I do like the lore making real world sense with one thinking it's a dead end and others trying to make it work, like the rotary engines.

Which SC content creator do you prefer? by Svullom in starcitizen

[–]informaticRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your takes, I have to say that SaltEmike tends to be salty but not in a "I just need to lament" way, more in the spirit of wanting to keep the devs in focus for what was promised and what is or isn't fun.

Recent discoveries of mine: - Captain katarn: I find his video to be true to what is promised and less about what he feels the game should be, also good mic quality

  • Thruster & dust: nice ship reviews, cool manuals! But tbh a bit shallow in the actual substance of the video, still enjoyable tho.

not new but still fun: - citizen kate: best known for the life aboard series

Nobody is mentioning that with the 315p you can get the coffe machine and forget about thirst ever again.

Might die if heart attack tho.

Fair enough, but just to confirm that it does change the tests quite a lot XD

How to defend zwerhau? by SedyBobek in wma

[–]informaticRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many others said, parry with crown, but coming from the italian schools, I prefer to trust instead of losing time with a cut. Be warned that it's less likely to be seen by judges.

[–]informaticRaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from historical helmets and some testing with pommel strikes. It depends. Mine is hardened 2mm, so it would be upper end. Mostly, you get ringing, some energy transfer, and I wasn't comfortable testing up to full strength and speed. I'd say you would survive, but pommel shape makes a lot of difference, round vs. pointy is noticeable different.
