    Man, Madass Alex hasn't been posting for a while now. I guess the dragon and witch slaying is very time-consuming.

    I should really get back to that thread. Fact of the matter is that I'm not finding much reason to be on TVT at the moment. I still like a bunch of people there, especially the swordbros in the fencing thread -- but that thread and those people, barring a few other outlying examples, are the only things that would keep me there.

    One foot in front of the other, every day.

    ^^^^ In technical terms, all swordplay is fencing, from sport to killing a dude with a length of sharpened iron. Originally, "fencing" was a shortened (or proper, not sure) form of "defense", referring to all combat but especially that carried out with any weapon. As time has passed, it eventually moved from "all fighting" to "weapons combat" to "sword fighting" and, finally, to "sword fighting in the context of European sporting". 


    ^^^ I has no photoshops. Also, I has small list of non-German historical fencers in my head. But it might go something like this:



    • Lawful Good: Liechtenauer (the "law" of the art is contextualised by him, and his poem also suggests that he holds a moral code both compassionate and consistent with good Christian conduct of the time)

    • Neutral Good: Talhoffer (he seems like the most overtly compassionate and humanitarian of the fightmasters, but he's "neutral" rather than "lawful" because of his particular fondness for the company of good-looking women, which suggests some of his conduct could be considered less than Christian)

    • Chaotic Good: Ringeck ("chaotic" because his text opened up the art to a wider audience, going against the wisdom of the time)

    • Lawful Neutral: Silver (to the best of my memory, Silver doesn't write on proper gentlemanly conduct or the proper application of violence, being content to stick with the technicalities and principles of swordplay. As a knight, however, his position is inherently lawful)

    • True Neutral: The "Tower Priest" (again, mostly technical stuff. I say "neutral" this time, though, because while being a priest -- and therefore "lawful" -- he is also depicted teaching a female student and, as a priest, may have provided his services to those without significant wealth or those under the social status of noble)

    • Chaotic Neutral: The four authors of the Doebringer manuscript (uniquely, it contains instructions for magical spells and alchemy. Also, dental hygiene. In any case, there's not a whole lot of philosophy or moral guidance, just instructions on how to kill while remaining safe. Also, magic and alchemy)

    • Lawful Evil: Fiore (seems pretty full of himself and delights in writing badass metaphors for slappin' a bitch, such as "you will place a blood sign upon him" in reference to making a successful cut. Possibly the only author to take so much delight in their own capacity for violence)

    • Neutral Evil: ???

    • Chaotic Evil: ???

    Sound of Noise is a 2010 Swedish-French comedy-crime film written and directed by Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson. It tells the story of a group of musicians who illegally perform music on objects in the various institutions of a city.



    This is the best possible premise for a movie, ever.

    At this rate, Ica is probably going to get much further than me (me of the refusing to download things illegally persuasion) in Walking Dead.


    I enjoyed the first season, but mainly because I tend to use the MST3K mantra on basically anything by default.


    Also, my real estate thread is coming back, I swear.

    Has friends besides tanks now

    I honked at someone for the first time a few minutes ago. They were hovering around 20-22 in a 30 zone (which I generally go through at 35-37 with no issues, on account of it's literally a straight stretch of road unless you're turning somewhere, with a couple of road lights), so I think it was justified. I was a little surprised that they pulled over when I honked at them, though; maybe they were lost or something.

  • TheConductorTheConductor

    I think it's weird how you Americans go on about how high above the speed limit you should be going. In Scotland, the speed limit is the speed limit. It's the absolute maximum you should be traveling on that stretch of road and it's not supposed to be taken as a challenge either.

  • EvergreenEvergreen

    My dad regards the speed limit as something that should always be traveled at or exceeded under normal conditions, and that anyone who's going below it who isn't lost or physically handicapped is an idiot/asshole/whatever. Then again, my dad is a bit of a volatile driver. 


    But like, for example, in my area the speed limit on many big interstate highways is 55. But nobody, nobody who is capable of going faster follows that. My dad's preferred cruising speed on all major highways is 72 MPH, fast enough to make good time but not so fast that the police will take issue with it.


    The driving instructors here preach very rigid following of speed limits to their students because flouting the speed limit throughout one's license test is one of many ways to fail, but they also don't encourage driving a ways below the speed limit once you're comfortable with driving. They always say again and again how going too slow can be unsafe most of the time.
