Am now tempted to fire it up and see if THIS time, I can win as the Incas, on their godawful starting position. I think if you do it by cumulative hours spent, I would come out with Civ II, which is in many ways a life wasted I also put a lot of hours into Civ: Call to Power which was for people who wanted a way to micromanage poo poo even harder, but now you can build a televangelist unit and also a wonder that makes you lose the game, that was a good time

Cyril Sneeer posted:but when he dies what do I do with it? It is a family heirloom, something my grandad earnt. I cant get rid of it in an amnesty/weigh it in for scrap. it's legal to own a sword in the UK, there are a couple of dudes on youtube who have houses full of the things - you can get 18th/19th century cavalry swords pretty cheap, since they were mass-produced at the time it'd be classed as an offensive weapon if you were running around the park with it, but that would also apply for a heavy wrench or a rock you found on the floor that looks like a tortoise but isn't there's an exception to that for anything with a curved blade over 50cm (a gurkha blade is curved but I think would be smaller), which is essentially because they wanted to ban samurai swords from being sold to people from middlesbrough even though they couldn't in practice define what one is, but that excludes anything that's an antique or traditionally made

i've got a "kukri" (a lovely cheap knock off one) that i bought on ebay years ago for the novelty. reading the above it looks like it's fine since the blade's only about 23cm long, and obviously i don't carry it around with me. it was sold to me blunt and i've never bothered sharpening it.

If you have £750 lying around, you can get your own genuine Civil War sword and injure people at parties https://www.antique-swords.com/R63-English-Civil-War.html That or buy 10 grams of good coke and injure people at parties

i am confused at how the law says you are not allowed to sell swords and yet there are still entire websites that revolve around swords and the sale thereof mostly because i want a gladius

absolutely no law which says you can't buy and sell swords, other than the aforementioned 50cm rule for cheap replica weapons there's a list of stuff which is explicitly banned from sale, which includes crossbows, butterfly knives, knuckle dusters, and then a bunch of absolutely ridiculous "ninja" stuff including shurikens and foot claws which have never harmed a human being in history the argument would presumably be that teenagers are more likely to go into a novelty shop and start flinging throwing stars at each other than they are to buy a Napoleonic infantry sword and chase each other round the park with it, but the actual reason is that a bunch of parents in the 80s were worried that their children would grow up to be actual ninjas in feudal Japan and that's why we have Super Mutant Hero Turtles

A recurve with the wheels? The draw on those is pretty small. It's hard to do at first though, you need a set of muscles working together in a way they normally don't. Holding the pose hurts like hell.

They have a set of samurai swords for sale in the window, I somehow doubt they're museum grade pieces.

Holding the pose hurts like hell. its called a compound bow! they're far easier to draw and hold than a comparable recurve thanks to the cams on them, but yeah the muscles used to draw a bow aren't really commonly used so it takes a lot of time to build them up and make them stronger

google for an archery club near you and see if they do beginner shoots if you're interested. most clubs have an indoor space to practice in and connections to outdoor shoots for when the weather is good. they're generally really receptive to new members

There might be an archery club near you, we used to go to one years ago. Just got back from Morrisons and everyone was masked up. Slightly disappointed as I'd massively hyped myself up about how I was going to give a massive telling off to the non mask wearing scum and then sweet chin music them into one of those big pyramids of cans. Then I'd quip something cool like "cleanup on aisle three" as I strode away

Made myself tacos for tea tonight. I started the filling without much of a plan, just fried up some onions and garlic, browned some pork, chucked in some tinned tomatoes and then just added spices until it tasted good. It's a fun way of doing things.

I've been playing the poo poo out of the new Samurai game - Ghost of Tsushima, and find myself composing very bad haiku when out in the real world. Without a Mask. No thought for others.
