History@hexbear.net•What is the smallest historical inaccuracy that has ever bothered you in a work of fiction?English
1·14 days agoI’m no pro archer, but in my experience once you have a full draw it’s not that bad to hold.
I don’t know how else to describe it, but holding the shot feels like you’re “inside” the bow. Like you’re pushing against two perfectly spaced walls that are gently squishing you.
Drawing the bow, in my experience, is the tiresome part. More like quickly ripping apart a stack of paper.
All that said, I agree that soldiers weren’t purposefully missing the other soldiers. Everybody wants to win from the shock of an alpha strike breaking the enemy morale and nobody would let their enemy to do it to them.

1·18 days agoIsn’t this also the plot to the frighteners?
He initially uses his new abilities to befriend ghosts, whom he sends to haunt people so that he can charge them handsome fees for “exorcising” the ghosts.

4·27 days agoGo quality build, str and dex, so you can strategically use strike, slash, or pierce weapon against any boss.
Magic is fun but with greases, weapon arts, and, whetstones you can add elemental and status effects directly to your weapon. Now you can exploit both physical and magical weaknesses.
Once you have 40 vigor, and enough mind to summon a spirit ally, level str and dex based on which one gives you more attack power on your current favorite weapon. That ensures you get the most out of each stat before hitting diminishing returns from soft caps.
If you go magic, look up how to asap get the rock sling sorcery and the meteor staff that boosts it so you have non-magic damage in your arsenal.
Good luck tarnished

2·1 month agoThe Lies of P combat is my favorite, it’s like Elden ring but more fair. Specifically when it comes to deflects/parries ER feels like you need to memorize when to parry whereas in LOP it feels natural to parry attacks from a new enemy.
Also, just want to comment on this
I know you shouldn’t be able to parry some kinda laserbeam or something similar.
I think you can do this in breath of the wild.

Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and what's your preferred platform to play Soulslikes on?
4·2 months agoI’ve had Dark Souls on PS5 since forever, I think I got it as a free monthly game, and I finally beat the tutorial last week!
I actually think the tutorial the hardest part of the game so far. Except for the brutal Maneaters boss fight which was much harder than the double gargoyle fight in Elden Ring.
On the topic of consoles, my feeling is that the PS5 will have a long life ala PS2 because so few want the next model.

History@hexbear.net•Venetian swords from the Palazzo Ducale museumEnglish
4·3 months agoI want to believe one belongs to Pietro Loredan, a Venetian badass from the 1400s 😎
I, as commander, vigorously attacked the first galley, which put up a stout defense, being excellently manned by courageous Turks who fought like dragons. With gods help I overcame her, and cut most of the said turks to pieces.
Yet it cost me much to save her, for other galleys bore down upon my port quarter, raking me with their arrows. Indeed, I felt them; for one struck me in the left cheek, just below the eye, piercing the cheek and nose, and another passed through my left hand. And these were only the serious wounds, I received many others about the body and my right arm, but these were of comparatively little consequence.
I did not retire, nor would I have retired while life remained in me; but fighting vigorously I drove back the attackers, took the first galley and hoisted my flag on her, then turning suddenly around I rammed a galleot, cutting many of her crew to pieces, put some of my own men aboard and and again ran up my flag
Their fleet fought on superbly, for they were manned by the flower of Turkish seamen, but by God’s grade and the intercession of St. Mark our Evangelist we at last put them to flight, many of their men to their shame leaping into the sea. The battle lasted from early morning till past two o’ clock, we took six of their galleys with their crews, and nine galleots. The turks that were on them were all put to the sword, including the admiral and all his nephews and other great captains.
And aboard the captured vessels we found Genoese, Catalans, Sicilians, Provençals, and Cretans, of whom those who had not perished in the battle I myself ordered to be cut up and hanged, together with all the pilots and the navigators, so that the turks have no more of them at the present.
Among them was Giorgio Calergi, a rebel against your Grace, whom despite his many wounds I ordered to be quartered on the poop of my own galley, a warning to any christian base enough to take service with the infedel henceforth.
The battle over, we sailed beneath the walls of Gallipoli, bombarding them with missiles and calling on those within to come out and fight, but they would not. So we drew away, to allow them men to refresh themselves and dress their wounds.
Don’t have a link to the source anymore 🙁
Much like the racist dad in fiddler on the roof

1·3 months ago“We are taking a wide street that is four lanes – two in each direction – and cutting it in half for the purposes of a green initiative,” Wasserman said. “But how does that help emergency vehicles? If I’m dying in a fire, God forbid, is the ladder equipped to reach my window?”
Yes, blame the bike lane for a deadly fire 🙄
This is absurd, like 30-50 feral hogs, but for traffic capacity instead of cartridge capacity. They need that 4 lane street to save lives!

Can you post another video of driving through the corkscrew road? Video ends just as it appears in the distance.
Also, what’s up with all the monoliths beside the road?
