The short one I knew likes to parry and get close, often step to the side, then stab or hit you in the lower half. But they can get close and stab you in the neck too. But it’s unsafe even with the Feder, I once broke someone’s bone with it, so all I have to say is the shorties can hit all the parts the manuscripts recommended. Of course you can hit them in the head too, but usually they are very aware of their distances, like the other one said, you might have more luck hitting their hands.

But people are different. One of our short guys get very good at protecting his head and hands, his only weakness is his lower right side…

My partner and I sometimes sparring and discuss on different scenarios. But those are just games and hypotheses. There are always advantages and disadvantages, prepared and not prepared, there can be ambushes that we don’t know how we died, a fight with the same weapon is not fair because all sorts of things. All in all, we don’t want to be caught in a fight. If have to, we want the information/power/instrument the opponent don’t know we have. And then, we might still die…

So I might want to keep the advantage that I thought I have, or my opponent thought I don’t have, as a secret. Maybe?

Hello HEMA friend. I repeatedly see tall people get their knees beaten. Then some learn to keep their distances too. But the ultimate killing machine is the left-handed… Lucky we don’t have one, but my partner and I try to train our left hands too.

You’ve met a great vet, I’m glad at least one of them is fine now!

At the mean time, one of my family’s cat is fighting some other illness. I hope he will pull through it too.

My cat also has a very healthy bedtime, but I’m a night owl. So I’ll turn the lights off after 10pm, light up small LED candles, let my cat sleep on my lap, and try not moving too much. After sometime I’ll have to wake her up, then we go cuddling together under the duvet. She’ll get up early without waking me up. The best friend I ever have.

That if we put up enough efforts, we’ll achieve world peace? I held this stupid belief till high school.

That adults are trustable, and will honour their words? This died young.

Childhood memories felt distant, but looking back, when I was small, I generally like doing things in my own corner, or going out on my own if I can.

I felt close to my father, enjoyed ask him all sorts of questions like he knew everything, and often worried he might died or went missing, and I’ll became an orphan. Never felt close to my mother.

I also remember I loved one of our family cat very much, but they gave him away. I loved my rooster that I grow from a chicken very much, but they ate him.

One of my niche hobbies, like HEMA and HEMAScholar.

A community for Ikea stuffs would be nice too?

I still like Skallagrim. He still gave helpful reviews about blacksmiths and historical weapons that I’m interested in. And IMO, his channel was always more entertainment than scholarship. But HEMA is a martial art that develops slowly, way slower than YouTube algorithm’s demand. There are not many new stuffs to talk about. If there has to be fillers to get his channel going, I’m okay with that.

Edit: Back to the topic. There are not many channels that I care about degraded to the point that I can’t bare. What makes me a little sad is that from time to time, channels stop publishing videos. Especially after Covid, people found better things to do, so they hibernated their YouTube channels.

Yeah, I like world building since as young as I can remember, and continued it till this day. There are several worlds, but all in the same universe. Putting characters in there and see them evolve is fun. Continuing the narratives also helps me sleep, it’s like a sort of meditation.

Wait, that’s the behaviour of my cat… Whatever she thinks, I feel sorry… for not been there to be her bed.

Apart from Mass Effect, Pillars of Eternity, and Deus Ex as others have already mentioned, I’d like to also add:

Grim Dawn.

The conflicts in its Universe feels reasonable, all the factions have their history and reasons of existence, there are beneficial and selfish, but no clear black and white, and everything interacts. The Lore is very good for an ARPG that focuses on combat, loots and built.
