  • I posted here about getting into armored MMA. I can echo this sentiment. Feeling yourself getting better, and flooring the complete newbies from time to time is a wonderful experience. Or getting one good, clean takedown on your instructor, even if it was mostly a fluke. Having a good instructor makes all the difference, too. Someone that can explain the how, and the why.

    It really does sound scary, and yeah - people get hurt. But that’s not the goal of the sport, at least not like, seriously. People look out, and at least in my sport, the first few classes were all how to be safe.

    It also surprised me just now hard even striking can be, like you said. It sounds super easy, just got em with the sword. Or your hand. But there’s so much to just throwing a good hit, let alone while someone else is trying the same thing.

    So yeah, 10/10, if anyone’s at all interested in a combat sport, take the dive.












  • No the “point” is that in any given game, fast travel is a system that is either there or it isn’t. Particularly in a single player games experience. That’s a feature that’s expected, and locking it behind a paywall, even if it’s listed as a feature only added by dlc, feels shitty.

    It would be like releasing a game, and charging for a pause menu. Some games don’t pause, some do. To lock that basic feature behind a payment is silly, greedy, wrong.

    I feel the same way when I go to some gas stations here. Everywhere has the lowest grade on the left. Then you get this shady AF shell station or something, and the high grade is the left most one. You KNOW they’re doing that to catch people unaware. Is it illegal? No. Does it instill any confidence in your business? Hell no.
