OK, you now have a sword. Nothing special about it.
Do you do anything else today, or in the following week?
I'd like us to find some time to gather some additional intel, if possible, on our mark and our employer. Which noble are we about to chee…
^^ A bow can't be held at tension for long, certainly not long enough to control someone via holding them up. Smoke bombs have their limitations, too; as specialised tech, their manufacturer and seller can be triangulated, and they might malfunction…
If the shipment is only guarded by two swordsmen, and those warriors need to make a river crossing, I don't think this is going to be overwhelmingly complex. Our mission is to "disrupt" the shipment, too, which could include a variety of outcomes.
…
We ask for further details about the path of the shipment, such as its passage through the likes of mountain passes or rivers, or how remote certain sections of road are from the nearest residence. Additionally, we will need to know roughly how well…
Additionally, flat parries are generally better as "soft" parries rather than firm displacements, where one crosses swords only to impose an obstacle and gives way while moving.
That was my first thought. It seems like you'd want to use the fl…
Talking seriously, the edge resists incoming attacks better than the flat, at least in a vacuum. Foible or forte is more important in terms of pure leverage, but using the edge rather than the flat can be seen as a (usually) positive modifier. Addit…
"We" is the collective will that moves the meatpuppet "Heinrich".
Looks like we're working for shady characters either way. Can we investigate each option, or are we pressed to choose now? If pressed, I would choose the first option -- anyone whose …
To areas of high activity, such as a town or district square. We'll be most likely to find people advertising jobs there, or otherwise have many passers-by to offer our services to (whatever that may mean). We're also likely to find things like noti…
Ulrike was a prominent associate of the local chapter of a major fencing guild, an environment wherein she could rub shoulders with prominent nobility, skilled commoners, and mercenaries ascending through the ranks. Her mastery of honourable combat …
why isn't there a "no hat" option in Pokemon X
I believe GameFreak's official explanation for this, and I'm not trying to tell a joke here, is that hats make your character look like a protagonist.
You weren't trying to tell a joke but I'm sure sev…
I don't even have to try. I just tie my hair back, loosen the sides strands of my hair and done.

Plus note to self: Get a fucking hair cut.
While I agree with the essential sentiment of this thread, being in competition for partnership is an experience parsed by the gut moreso than rational thought. The (kind of abstract and semi-hypothetical) conflict feels much bigger than it really i…
No particular reason, I just chose things that would seem unlikely or dissonant at first glance. The joke is that I'm discussing an internationalist activity in terms bound to states and cultural identification; the pretension of it all is for authe…
Partially true, but the Slavo-Peruvian school is the one that took off internationally (for better or worse, but that discussion is always kind of terrible).
this is the thread of our discontent
There's a potential balance between wordplay and shitposting that may be considered by some commentators to be artful, although the matter remains a subject of heated debate. Regardless, the creative pursuit of …
Beholders are such a good monster
I really want someone to do a thorough analysis on the psychology behind modern fantasy monster design
This, but moreso. Like, a breakdown on modern monster conceptualisation as compared to those of historical cult…
I'd say so in most cases, but I like the axe moveset and mobility better, and previous games provided a better power balance between them. Still weighted in favour of sword mode, but some options were really strong in axe mode (particularly status e…
Totally canon Pokémon facts: There are no Fairy types in Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, or Unova because Red, Lyra, Dawn, Hilda, and Rosa don't believe in fairies.
aren't there pokes that would become fairy type though
holy shit
As a longsworder, every AoE is an existential threat. We'll see how well the adept evasion accounts for that, but Khezu is firmly rooted in my mind as a very naughty monster; it's just really good at shutting down aggressive damage ramp for its powe…
Ohh fuck this guy. Its, uh, theme has a way of making fights against it feel kind of empty, especially as they often take place in snow, caves, or snowy caves.
^^ For what it's worth, I think the 60 FPS hardliner stance is too narrow-visioned itself; I'd rather a game simply be good in the first place, frames be damned as long as the experience is essentially smooth. Additionally, 60 FPS also asks for anim…
