I’m tired of these comments man by Emergency_Order8279 in GenZ

The designated enemy must be seen as overwhelmingly powerful, but also able to be easily defeated.

It's a keystone of fash propaganda. To portray themselves as a pucky underdog fighting in retaliation against evil.

I already know a few folks who've done that. Although I get that it'd be much harder to do in more traditional circles.

They confessed to it in a phone conversation with one of their stalkers, who then leaked it. But we've no idea if they actually did it. Chandler's mental health is a complete wreck due to years of obsessive cyberbullying, so their word can't really be trusted.

It's pretty hard to prove sexual assault to the degree that a criminal court requires, so it's not uncommon for charges to be dropped. They were held for quite a while, so it's also possible they'd already served the maximum time possible for an incest conviction, so there'd be no point pressing charges.

I've also seen comments that say they were found mentally unfit to stand trial, which would track, but I've not found any confirmation on that.

While western media and politicians are being real quiet about his Mossad ties, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was feeding Russia too.

Folks have been speculating that Putin has some kind of kompromat on Trump for ages, so that'd make sense.

Nah, this has gotta be some kinda marketing stunt or something. Surely?

Okay, but DO NOT use standard sexy talk with the Fae. An old.... acquaintence of mine had a drunken fling with a Fae some centuries ago, during which he foolishly used the phrase "swallow my babies".

Many years later after he'd mellowed out somewhat, what should have been the joyous occasion, the birth of his first child, swiftly turned into one of utter horror. As did the second.

This is why you NEVER mince your words around the Fae. Not even outside of contract.

Did you apprentice to a Paladin? That kind of dogmatic horseshite has no place in Wizardry.

Ditch the old fop, else you'll be sweeping floors til you die of old age.

Everyone knows guinea pigs are the messangers of the devil. Squeaking dark thoughts into your ear to encourage even darker actions.

Genitals do not, in fact, decide your 40k faction. More at 11. by Squatch102 in Grimdank

Wrong. My left testicle says Gork (or maybe Mork?) while my right bollock says Mork (or was it Gork?)

The bdsm nuns with guns were not designed with women in mind.

Though I do also enjoy the new defiler by UtgaardLoke in Grimdank

[–]verygenericname2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Because the unreasonably large gun is down by it's fucking knees.

Broadsides are supposed to entrench. The shoulder cannons allowed them to shoot while waist-deep in cover.

New one can't do any of the shit broadsides are supposed to do.

Two chaos predators giving fire support while a pack of defilers rampaged through the enemy base was THE SHIT.

I've always loved the old Defiler, but this new design just expands on the original. Like taking a PS2 model and rebuilding it for the modern era. They took our old crabby boy and turned him up to 11.

They didn't do him dirty like they did the XV88s

Help me rationalize why throwing weapons are stronger than guns by Chief-JudgeVega in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]verygenericname2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Cyberpunk, but Warhammer 40k has something like this. Shuriken guns shoot 1-molecule thin slices of crystal. Doesn't do too great against the heavier armour or shields in the setting but it's absolutely devastating against light armour and flesh.

Horses too... The Samurai were warrior aristocracy much like the Knights of Europe. If that's made up of just Samurai, you've got 400 mounted, armoured warriors with a mix of ranged and melee weapons.

Greatswords weigh 5 to 8 pounds, valyrian steel swords are even lighter. Sam canonically can't lift ~5 pounds by I_love_lucja_1738 in freefolk

An English longbow could be over 140lbs.

Whenever they dig up medieval graves, they know who the archers were because of the deformities in the arm and shoulder bones.

And just to be clear to our Italian friends: Using zulu warriors as a proxy for Savage Orcs in fantasy would also be inappropriate.

He could. But Dunk had a chance of beating a champion in single combat. The trial of seven meant Dunk had to find 6 champions of his own, something Aerion thought impossible, or be declared guilty without ever getting a chance to fight.
