If you gained an equal amount of offensive reaction speed and knowledge you could adjust strikes as you saw the opponent begin to parry.

Play that out in your mind in slow motion and you’ll realise why your logic is flawed.

US? Do you mean Magastan? The banana republic between Mexico and Canada?

my brother in Christ, Discord and Teams both need like 2x the RAM so don’t talk to me about that.

I don’t compare a hot-dog to a pile of dog poo and say “it’s good food”.

Idk left side has contacts and groups, right side chat. What exactly is not user-friendly there?

• slow to load up
• long sync times
• high battery drain for mobile users
• room concept, as opposed to contact chats
• electron app sucks donkeyballs - wastes lots of screen space where no chat is displayed
• options way too hard to find at times (like how to add existing rooms to a space)
• no online/offline status of contacts
• trust model with device verification is unintuitive for non-techie users (admitted this one has improved with the emojis years ago and with cross-device certification)

I could probably find a bunch of more reasons if I thought longer about it. These are all issues that don’t keep me from using the app, but they are severe enough that I can’t convince non-techie friends to use element as a messenger. For matrix, there are superior messengers for sure, albeit those are then limited in functionality.

Sorry but that’s simply wrong. I have done two years or sabre fencing in my youth - it’s all about reaction time and correct execution of a parry. If you always knew exactly which angle to parry at, and had the reaction speed to execute this in time, then you could fence for a long time without anyone getting hit. You’d have to outsmart your opponent by slowly leading them into a trap where they have to execute a movement that throws them off-balance, so that you then can execute an attack that they can’t regain their balance to parry.

Hah, you clearly did not study at uni. Nothing beats lazy student food pasta + ketchup.

Wasn’t thinking that, I just think Europeons is the far superior pun. Speaking as a Europeon, of course.

And Fotzenfritz bent right over and greased his butthole.

I like element but it’s not nearly as lightweight and user-friendly as I would like it to be.

*europeons was so close and yet you missed the mark.

Think of the force like Jedis being able to anticipate movements and react ultra fast and it becomes less bullshit. If those fights played in slow-motion for normal humans, it would make sense that they could go on for longer without injury. Then a win happens with sensory overload or distractions - when a fighter misleads the other to believe an attack will be coming from where it won’t actually come, they get a killing blow.

Many things aren’t funny. Making jokes about them can nevertheless be funny. Heck, humans joke about death all the time.

so you know how to eat olives out of that spoon :) in general, you want to use suction for tiny round foods from a spoon, because they’ll roll right off ^^

I know the reference from my perl days but I beg to differ. I wrote well-structured perl code with plenty of comments. I like to believe those projects of mine could be useful to someone else.

Oh boy… I like perl but as a first language, that musta been rough…

Top notch shitpost. Extra credit for perl!

Tip the spoon? Have you never applied suction to ingest food?

Everquest Freelancer Unreal Tournament 99 Ultima Underworld Gianna Sisters

I just started a rewatch tonight after having mentioned it here :) I loved the show and I think it’s time to give it another go. I am surprised how much of the permanent cast is introduced in episode one.

Luckily it seems they were punished for it in terms of ratings. I honestly felt abused after being exposed to that scene, without a warning to close my eyes or skip ahead.

The torture porn for Season 7 first episode. The show went from splatter / hack & slash to a breach of the psychological contract between film makers and the audience. Instead of cutting away for the ultra violence, they stayed fully on it, turning this franchise from a zombie splatter movie into sadistic torture porn, with the sadism directed at the unsuspecting viewers.

I was able to skip past one of those sections because it was telegraphed in the previous season’s ending, but the next one was intentionally designed to catch the audience unaware and was ultra explicit. I did not want to see this and I never consented to this kind of sadistic fucked up shit to be broadcast onto my screen.

Fuck the makers of that franchise, fuck AMC and fuck everyone involved in that decision for all eternity.

Edit: Be grateful that you didn’t have to watch that.
