Also, the guard kept hitting me in the wrist.
What? :ROFLMAO: now i'm lost between game and reality.
I can't imagine actually using something like that as a solo weapon. Maybe in formation, but wouldn't a spear be better for reach, and shorter sword be better at closer range?
Yeah the things more of a baseball bat than a sword, flimsy one at that--hence why its a replica and the tomahawk isn't. I would certainly choose my bat in a scruffle (or the tomahawk)

No doubt, in a battle against longer weapons length would matter, but if you met a man who could wield that sword...he'd likely crush you with one hand anyways.

Spears and shorter swords are a much better choice in reality...of course if you were a fencing master so would a thin sword, its a matter of personal fit for the weapon.
I have a hatchet. Amusingly, when I bought it, it was seized by customs as a "throwing axe" and so I got a refund. I then ordered another one, and it arrived. You can throw any axe, and even get it to stick blade first if you're good enough. Meanwhile, I doubt your average noob could throw even a perfectly balanced tomahawk style hatchet and get it to stick very often.
Again I agree, I throw EVERYTHING, its a hobby I love and have sacrificed many weapons to learning. I've always wanted to throw my hatchet but never have clear land to do it...I did however buy an actual throwing axe at an axe throwing alley after trying the trash they gave you and trying the instructors axe once--which is made by the same company that made my favorite foot long throwing knife that I do throw all the time.

I can stick screwdrivers into thick cardboard from across the room, even some that are less than an inch long...but I have trouble with actual competition knives because they're meant for soft targets and I have too many sharp ones to use a soft target :LOL: I've throw these across the room and bullseyed a piece of thick plywood with them.

22" blade to hilt. both at once in quick succession. And they were meant to be replicas...they're from some cheap mall store lol.

One is sadly bent now after using it as a booby trap (that likely fucked someone up) in my apartment, I been looking for a local blacksmith to beat it back into place lmao.

See how there are two types of guards? I had the straight kind, and that leather part is useful for holding with your hand for a closer more controlled grip. Anyway, because it wasn't pointing away from you, the straight guard kept hitting me in the wrist.
I been watching too much viva la dirt league sorry, I was thinking 'for the peace of the kingdom' guard not hilt guard :ROFLMAO:

Ya I hate when something just doesnt fit your hand right, again I spin my axes and swords so I can understand that being a major problem.

I actually almost killed myself recently throwing my belt knife over my shoulder and catching it behind my back blind...nearly passed out from blood loss after it went through my vein like butter and shattered my finger in like three places with the 'something breaker' (no lie it was called a breaker--not a window breaker and its evil), I still carry the thing all day long, and I still cant feel my finger 😅 (makes programming a bitch sometimes)

The risk you take when you live by the blade.

I actually almost resorted to this to stop the blood loss. Of course I was going to heat a knife to do it lmao.

Never know what your capable of until the world starts spinning around you. Luckily I was able to stop it with mass amounts of fake skin powder, bandages, and towels first. I called my ex to tell her to keep me awake and shes like stop being a pussy :ROFLMAO: (shes a chef and almost as crazy as I am--with better knives)

AWA Daily Quest for today (5, 7, 10, 20, 25, 40 ARP+ Varying Random ARPs): Day 4 - Space Memory
Just click on the quest itself in the Daily Quest section
https://na.alienwarearena.com/quests/5627

The sequence is shown, memorize it and repeat it. You got 3 rounds, gotta get them all right. Win and get 7 ARP, if not 5 ARP and that should complete the Mini game.

When you complete the Mini game and see the above image, click on "Fly away" and that will take you into the Bonus Spore Hunter game. Spore Hunter is random🔢 and even if you get above 5000 points you will only get 10 ARP sometimes :(, So good luck to all.(y)

well that sounds pretty microsoft stupid to me.. they have worse rules for software design based on the same general concept.

Don't indicate the system is unfixable (still love the system restore message--catastrophic failure lmao)

One of my biggest issues with their development team is they have almost as many rules about phrasing as they do about coding...ya know, that and they called john wayne from up north for an interview :LOL:

Yes, Microsoft tried to hire me, yes I turned them down...yes i'm now broke as fuck :ROFLMAO: bite me I live with it every day.

My contract clearly states...

Dear ivo, just helping you catch ranmaru...i'm a sap for good people.

Dev
Signature

Wtf, I dont remember signing this!!! 😝

Ironically that was about how this all started 😅 i'll just help out with your interface....omg I think it just moved. (giphy was down, no i've created a monster gif)

Honestly I refused Microsoft for two reasons. One the lady that called a Pocahontas character told me I needed to get an education after telling me I was beyond the current trainees and praising me :rolleyes:

Two they would have made me a copy code pushing slave and destroyed the joy of creativity.

Much rather be in this IT company ;)

I don't regret the decision even to this day.

Free training, six figure sum....meh. Loving what I do...priceless.
