Veteran, chemist, nerd.

Weird to see this on opening the FP. I was probably at some of these clips. Ashlynn is squirrely as hell, and a helluva femm fighter. As a 5'11" 260lbs dude, I wouldnt idlely want to fight her. (Red and gold is me)

There is probably a gym near you that'll get you in armor and fighting someone. If you are >1hour from Cincinnati, you can get your ass kicked by Ashlynn personally if you want lol

It's exhausting, there is a lot of skill involved, and the drive to win is what gets you there in the end. It's definitely a sport.

With the helmets, you can take full on two handed baseball swings with polearms and it won't hurt you. You'll be dazed a bit, but no damage. The frying pan isn't a big deal. They don't normally use it, but at the end of the shows, the Barbs have a "mug fight", where 2 people go in with pewter mugs, cheer, and then begin bashing each other. Then, people file in with random weapons and last one standing wins. My favs are, a handicapped parking sign, a giant pâtissier whisk, and the steel chair.

A lot of the injuries come around because of gaps in the armor, or just flukes. A guy that Ashlynn fights with sometimes got his elbow smashed due to a fluke of angles, had to have it reconstructed. But, most injuries I've seen happen to knees. A guy on the Barbs (duelist captain for a while at least) has torn most of the ligaments in his knee due to the sport. Does dueling now because it's less throws and having 350lbs of dude land on you.

Buhurt. She fights with the Cincinnanti Barbarians and the River Sirens. Around August/September, if you're in the Cincy/Dayton area and go to the Renn Faire, you can probably see her/everyone else duke it out. That is where a lot of these clips are fromm.

Duels do more of the swordplay. Much of buhurt (at least the melee's and the profights) is physical strength and endurance against the same on the other side.

My same thought. As I understand, they are scientists, I wonder how that factors into their calculations.

I heard the same for beaver, which is insane.

Not to be flippant or anything derogatory, but people can just do stuff and it amazes me. I hope its for something really cool, but you or I could just get a box cutter and a hot glue gun and make a cardboard city in a long weekend, hopefully alongside booze and pizza (whose box can become a building of honor).

Very specific reference, but its adjacent to the Pontiac Fiero of the "Magic 2.0" setting. Tl;Dr version, guy brings a god awful Pontiac fiero back to medieval england and uses "magic" to ensure it ran perfectly. Neat concept for a book, lost interest about 5 books in or so.

I gotta say, how the fuck do you block all THAT? If I were goalie Id be pissed, but definitely some admiration for those moves.

My favorite is the Mario 64 water level music they play in the stations. It's really nice.

Weird fun fact about milk containers: its not efficient to ship empty milk jugs to farms/whatever to be filled with milk, so they teach farmers how to run the machines that mold the plastic into milk jugs ON THE FARM so it can be filled there instead. I work for a company that provides this training to farmers. Its weird to see, at a place that employs PhD's by the dozens, everyone here is a huge nerd, and through a stretch of the year you see rednecks outside smoking cigarettes at the smoke pit

People often forget the line, "Kyle's fingers be silver, Jack's voice then be gold." Its about both of them. If they duo'd up and started singing real, jesrtfelt songs, they would fucking crush. Same with Reggie Watts. His voice is goddamned incredible, but he's a silly little guy, and his music comes from a silly place, and I respect that, but he would atomize his competition if he decided to sing some real motown soul.

Not that I don't fully agree with the content of the message, this feels very ChatGPT in its writing. You've really gotta write these things yourself for it to have the same emotional sting.

#1 there is a few very good reasons why they cant be super chonk like that. Its their legs, and how they need to not explode under all the added weight of chonk. Even skinny they are butting up against the upper limit of something with bones being able to walk around without shattering its skeleton by taking am big steppy.
