Loving humanity

I’m absolutely freezing—let's get the fireplace roaring again. 😁

Anyway, I'll whip up some schnitzel later, and for you... maybe some corn... 😁

The girls take the lead, you handle the heavy lifting, sound good? 😳

Deal. 🙂

We just need to get the racer to step on it a little more... 😁

Otherwise, we’re swapping him out and putting Lucy in his place 😁

🙂 Wherever Ratzi may be, the Prefect’s seat at the congregation is sitting empty, just like Lucy is over here... 😁

Jack Harris3 said:🙂 Wherever Ratzi ends up, there's a massive hole left in the leadership of the congregation, and Lucy... 😁

😂

I honestly think they'd kill it. 🤣

If things get too peaceful and boring, we could always just start our own little cult and take it out on the other members. 😳

If Ivan and Bro can pull it off... 😂

Sure, it’s true—they’re pretty much useless if you're just looking to show off... plus they're totally illegal for that. You can't exactly carry them around in public. It’s the same deal as nunchucks. You aren't going to get a permit for those anytime soon. But you *can* carry a Desert Eagle—something that could practically clear out half a diner—and nobody would even realize you're packing it under your jacket. So, really, who’s the crazy one here?

Personally, I’ve always had a soft spot for blades because of the discipline they demand... unlike these modern firearms. Anyone with a pulse can learn to operate a gun in a matter of hours...

Oh, hey Pig... if you're looking to choose, here's your lineup:

- a long, rusty relic
- an elegant disemboweler
- a curved little bastard
- a pointy long mutha
- a crude skullcracker

I'm talking about all sorts of cold steel slicers and mallets... 😈

Now, a kukri is pretty brutal. But it feels more like a machete than a true sword. Though, granted, you could chop through branches with it like a maniac! 😁

P.S. I'm actually holding it right now. It's the curved little bastard. 😁

And yeah... I'm a pacifist. 🙂

Me too. 🤣🤣🤣

Quinn:

When I think of knights, I picture you stuck in some nerdy roleplay scenario... you know, that specific crowd wearing pajama sets and foam armor, sprinting through the woods like total weirdos.

And what exactly was your grand vision? Should they have just rolled up in Levi’s instead?😂 😂🙂

sword rpg enthusiasts😁

Quinn:

I don't even own a TV.

😲 😲 😲

Godless, you're something else🙂 🙂

And Villa Maria 😂😂🙂

Karen Sanchez19 said:What, you want them walking around in jeans?😂😂🙂

Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of thongs, suspenders, and firefighter turnout gear.🤣

Quinn:

If we’re going to brag about legitimate blades, I’ve got a real katana coming my way. Soon after, I'm picking up a crossbow equipped with high-end optics for big game hunting. Go ahead, feel free to volunteer for the beta test.

😲 😲

So, where does one actually buy a REAL katana, and what’s the damage? I’m looking to make a serious purchase—not that cheap garbage you find in mall kiosks for $67 that’s duller than a butter knife.

Quinn:

The budget range sits somewhere between $500 and $1,000. Quality varies wildly—you can find decent stuff, then there's the tier costing tens of thousands. And don't even get me started on custom, hand-forged masterpieces.

For a katana?

So, what about yours? How much did you drop...?? And where'd you pick it up?

Balkanian Pig said:those sword rpg nerds😁

Pffft... can you even lift that katana of yours? ;D

Quinn:

Man, those Gurkha kukris look lethal. Once I've got the cash, I'm definitely picking one up.

Wait, what even is this...?

Look, everyone knows that if you have a high-quality katana, a true master can slice right through a steel pillar.😲

At least, that’s the legend.

Quinn:

The balance is better, allowing for massive striking power without needing insane physical strength.

Well, obviously that's harder for someone who hasn't a clue how to actually wield a katana...

You have to feel it. That surge of energy flowing through you, through the blade. Just... like that. 😂😂🙂

Where the hell can I find an ACTUAL katana and what's the damage? I’m looking to pick one up, but I don't want that cheap crap you see in big-box stores for $67 that's duller than a butter knife

I'll shoot you a DM, I know some cheaper sources... just gotta make sure we don't catch any heat from the cops... 😉 😂

Well, it really depends on what you're after. If it's just for display or training purposes, a stainless steel one around 400-$333 should be fine. But if you want real carbon steel meant for actual combat and cutting, you're looking at a higher price tag. A decent "best buy" would be something like a Steel Dynamics model or maybe something from Paul Chen. Honestly, I think the entry-level stuff for real use starts at about $500-$600.

Gaudrath said:Pffft... okay, but can you even lift that katana of yours? ;D

Look, katanas aren't actually that heavy. It's not like you're swinging a massive battle axe or something. 😁

Personally, I think the peony looks much better. 😁
