Soup for my family. Weighs about as much as a can of soup.

Oh I meant to include: these i'm listing are blunt, which adds a little bit of weight compared to their 'real' sharp counterparts.

[–] shapesandstuff 1 points 1 day ago

Oh for sure, i'm just saying a 3.5kg one is on the upper end of usable. I've used one a good bit lighter than that and one slightly heavier and the heavy one was a BEAST to maneuver.
This one is under 2kg for example: https://sigiforge.com/products/sigi-montante/
Regenyei sells one aka "The Beast" at 3.6kg as their heaviest offer: https://regenyei.com/product/two-handed-sword-01/

Once you go past that it gets so difficult to weild effectively - depending on your weight, strength and size of course.

if you feel the need to correct everyone then that’s kinda a you issue

True but also unhelpful imo. That's how social networks took hold, right. it's really hard to not voice your opinion if you see it (esp. unfairly) opposed.
I'm doing it right now, fully aware of it. I think it can lead to really productive interactions, just not with these types the OP describes.

It would not last even a week until I got into my first argument with a tankie. I saw them and argued with them from time to time on reddit, but people there usually saw right through the bullshit and downvoted them to oblivion.

I just had one of these interactions. The whole thread was like that.
I still enjoy the platform, but you gotta be very selective with whom you choose to engage.
Absolute insane trolling, fighting the sources not the arguments, then sharing archived banned tweets as their sources :D There's no winning.
The only upside so far is that the right wing nuts seem to be rarer here, but tankies are the same thing with a different flavor.

The longsword second from the bottom seems pretty heavy for that profile tbh. Montante/Zweihänder (last one) is also on the upper end of usable weight. Bordering on ceremonial/parade sword

I have a feeling our timelines diverged a good bit earlier than that, not sure if we'll be able to hold amy meaningful conversation.

Still lacking any substance or source btw, I'll stop engaging now.

Thats how i read it too, no worries.

I'd be shocked but who the hell knows at this point

[–] shapesandstuff -1 points 2 days ago (3 children)

not my fault you just sent me 3 or 4 responses across the thread

Define paraphrasing :D

Well I mean we did start off by talking about your claim the Russians are indiscriminately bombing civilians though!

That's still false :)

Thats a lot of words that all don't say "my bad i misread that". Try that for once.

So.. tripwire mines confirmed. What's your dumbest plan on how to use them?

 

Basically Title.

Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we're "old", we could only come up with yesteryears titans.

Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?
