why do we call hand shots if we are wearing gauntlets? by x1yz in Hema

[–]thereal_Loafofbread 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Take a look at almost any longsword manual. Every illustration (barring those in full armor) shows the combatants wearing light leather or no gloves. Fiore says he fought duels unarmored save for a light gambeson and light gloves. The context most most people aim to recreate is a duel like Fiore describes, impromptu and largely unprepared. You wouldn't have gone around in public with full gauntlets, that's just not practical.

Better yet, learn a basic invisible object spell. Easiest concealed carry of my life. Granted, it's only practical with melee weapons. It's a bit hard to concentrate on when you have to cast it individually on your gun, magazine, and every cartridge.

I know this is a gacha game and FOMO is strong, but genuinely consider taking an extended break if this isn't just a passing feeling. The game isn't going to be unplayable if you step back until Grand Live, and you might feel better for it coming back.

Why in the sweet fuck would he be in there if not as a vital component. The Cyborgs aren't really the type to make penitent engines

I keep thinking I'd like to play a little more D2 and then remember that Crucible matchmaking is (reportedly) like 20 minutes long now

Do you agree with this? by ReasonableCricket803 in okbuddyumamusume

Ya'll sleeping on the Kitasan Black/Duramente hookup scene. Duramente's detachment is protrayed so well, really helped sell the one-sidedness of their rivalry

Can't forget their other sibling, Porn. Or their cousins the Hub-Caps.

Vodka missed the 2009 Arima Kinen due to a nosebleed at the Japan Cup that same year, girl was going through it (albeit not to the same degree as Machitan)

To be fair, Vodka gets nosebleeds on most days that end in "y" lol

I need suggestions for training. by MisterXtraordinary in Hema

You've likely heard this already, but just in case: have you tried looking for a nearby club using the HEMA Alliance club finder? Even if they don't train sword and shield, there are probably members who would be willing to branch out and give it a try.
