    I keep wondering what is that brass thingie hanging from the guy's belt, but can not figure it out. It looks like a brass knuckle, but it only has 3 fingerholes and why would he carry one if he already has a sword and a dagger.
    It's a hanger for separate tools/keys :smile:
    For whatever reason, good luck... or perhaps he's just lost all the damn keys. Y'know... red key, gold key... all used up, see ? :grin: (Doom flute plays)

    Funny historic art


    Haha! It almost looks like a caricature of an angry Asian fellow, but I guess it's just the slit, mail and reinforcement bars :grin:

    General History Questions thread

    Didn't button spacing indicate their regiment? I vaguely remember the Guards Regiments have differently spaced buttons in the UK.
    Could be practical too as you said, with the written documents... but it's safer to have a special container for those.

    Best-dressed Warrior

    Ah, yes... Katze in a Mütze

    Pretty cool, though. Like them feathers!

    What's on your mind?

    Simple, nobody plays Hero Wars.
    :grin: Bots are people too, they play that and probably rate it aswell...

    What's on your mind?

    I was thinking why a certain mobile game exists. Irritating ads with some goofy-looking dude as the hero and a bunch of dumb sequence-puzzles.
    Its one of those weird "other dimension liminal space woowoo" games where all negative criticism kinda is memory-holed :grin:
    Easier to find articles on how The Witcher 3 is awful, but not about Hero Wars...

    Write Your Poems To Here

    I think it's more prose - a short story - than poetry. Nice story.
    You use the archaic "wouldst thou ..." but not consistently, changing between 'you' and 'thou'. My English teacher would scold you for that.
    Thanks! Is there a section here for short stories too? I think I missed it. I vaguely remember one, but I couldn't find it at the time.

    Yeah, my thouses are a bit all over the place. But isn't "you" like a formal singular and also plural? I was lazy anyway. So scolding is appropriate :grin:

    Write Your Poems To Here

    Do poems have to rhyme? I wrote a thing and voiced it too. lol weird accents galore.
    Lost a few braincells finding the right app to edit it with.
    Inspired by a few myths and legends :grin:

    Say cheese: reenactment style

    Greetings from the future! Where the hell is everybody? lol

    I made a thing. It's a hat. I decided to make some stuff myself, I can learn stuff and save a wee bit of money.

    Jeez, that looks like airborne rust rather than dust!
    I'm already frustrated by European dirt road dust lol! How the hell did you maintain it? :grin: Oily dust cakes!

    You mean the headspacing go and no-go gauges?
    Yep.

    Here's another I dug up. 2006 phone camera technology!
    I think this might be a Norwegian reflex sight, came with the soft-mount.

    What is the point of trolling/insulting people in videogames?

    You monster.

    I was just following orders! :grin:

    One has to define what is trolling/insulting?
    I can definitely see an apparently more mature person just posting targeted and very insulting stuff with intent to cause emotional suffering as quite vile.
    The person has figured out what hurts the other and keeps attacking, maybe brings a few mates along who bring their mates. That's bad.
    Figuring out personal information and doxing people. That's bad.

    But calling someone a "Significantly undersized reproductive organ!" several times in an hour during a multiplayer session? Dunno. Who'll make the rules? lol

    The older models are definitely available for training purposes, those you screw in and fiddle with a bunch of keys.

    What is the point of trolling/insulting people in videogames?

    Example from Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy back in 2003
    I used to place DETPACKS/Sensor mines in doorways on role-playing servers.
    Snipe "rich" people collecting collectables and then stealing it to give to other people who were starting out. Or just wait until people would track it and come looking for it... only to be disintegrated.
    And of course there was taunting - not severe, but rather saying things like: "Oops?"

    It was fun. It's a game.
    Label me as a psychopath, but I'm not. Not even with anti-social tendencies if you want to go all DSM V on me.

    Edit: In video games, if it has guns and boombas, they will go pew and boom.
    I can understand social media, like trolling people on facebook or this Instagroin or whatever it is.
