Don't get me wrong, I've done practical martial arts for most of my life and I also hate seeing this sort of thing touted as the same thing as skill with a real weapon. It took me a while to appreciate it for its own thing
Think of it as a separate skill from wielding a real weapon, like baton twirling. You wouldn’t perform basically any of this with a functional Bo, it’s just an impressive display of coordination and practice.
The fails are funny when everyone involved is laughing. The successes are just awesome to watch, especially seeing the joy in their faces
I got your reference
It's not about the strike, it's about sending a message
Being younger, experiencing the jump in technology, and sharing all of that with friends was really a unique time. I still get occasional smells that slam me back to the 90's playing FF6, Legend of Legaia, and Everquest
I like knobs. The kind that you can hear quietly ticking down before you hit the start button. It has two buzzer options, on and off
This kind of thing isn't super common in snowy climates either. But when ice en masse moves like this, you aren't gonna stop it

Years ago I had a co-worker who was a divorcee, stunningly gorgeous, and a model. She fell in love and married a man who had a terminal illness. He died just a few years after they got married, and she took his kids in as her own. My condolences about your condition, but I thought maybe you'd like to know that love is not out of the question.
I've seen a lot of her stuff crop up before, and she's all about wholesome content. It's super outgoing, lifting people up positive stuff
It's just... the guy was fucking my chickens...
I am in the same boat. When it's hot I am just always slightly moist. I like winter and cold weather and the summer before it starts trying to kill me
Season 1 of TNG was rough... Going back and watching them I'm always surprised it got renewed

My first long term relationship was a very one sided ordeal thanks to my naive and oblivious nature. My current partner loves taking care of me in the same way I take care of them, and will hold me and thank me for being open and vulnerable. Finding someone who genuinely cares and wants to support you is truly a wonderful thing.
I wound up looking up the best ending. I tried SO hard to get that 100% but I just couldn’t quite manage it. I got the x/x-2 remaster, maybe I’ll give it another try!
I got a friend to play FFX when he referenced that scene. I told him the context and he was like “oh, that actually sounds a lot more wholesome than what people make it out to be.” He LOVED the game
Uncommon to find people who liked X-2 as much as I did! Never could 100% it, the mini-game requirement kept me at 99%
The novelty of 3D gaming was a powerful thing. Some games aged much better due to style (mario 64, mario kart) or lack of complex features like faces (waverace 64). Plus being a child in that era filled in the noticeable lack of details, draw distance, or flaws
Same. I remember looking at my N64 with Turok in it thinking "I'm going to remember this moment forever". Nearly 30 years later and I still remember that scene perfectly. I miss those days
If I had but one wish, t'would be that my tongue were longer so I could reach the deep recesses of.. pudding cups
You don't NEED to know anything to learn or practice, it just speeds things up. With no experience at all, if you were to try drawing the same thing every day you would still see improvement over time due to repeated exposure and observation. Without lessons the learning would be slow and arduous, but you can look up techniques, get feedback, and improve without it. "Practice" doesn't happen in a vacuum, it's shorthand for a much bigger concept
They say he grew 18 arms that day as a gift from Vishnu
I never said anything remotely as reductive as "practice makes perfect". I said art is a skill that can be learned, and like any skill it takes a great amount of practice to get good at it. If you want perfect, start when you're 4 and practice for 6 hours every day for life
Massachusetts assessment test
It's a massachusetts state testing program that everyone fucking hates
The reality is anyone can be an artist if you put in the work. There are people with natural talent, but training and many many MANY hours of practice are mostly what you see out in the wild. You can do it too
When he's not being a goblin he's actually a superb cellist, which makes him all the more interesting
