1200s is so badass, imagine if that cloak was black with a hood

Looking like Ringwraith

This falls more in line with 1200's era armor

I think

I need Moai in here

[restive trench]

this looks so fantasy

[vestal eagle]

There HAD to have been something that looked like this back then though

[restive trench]

witout the cloak, sure

though

[celest badge]

.

[restive trench]

based on your image that u sent earlier

that would be 1400s

[wheat brook]

I splashed bleach everywhere

And I left it to marinate

And now my eyes burn

Placebo effect?

[vestal eagle]

What about this

Wouldn't this be 1200's?

[restive trench]

yeah probably maybe

but also looks fantasy

[restive trench]

idk if historically cloaks were this big

iirc they were mostly smol

[vestal eagle]

Just learned, it's call Teutonic Knights armor

13th to 14th century

[restive trench]

didnt the teuctonics also exist during 1100s

the third crusade i thimk

maybe even before idk

[vestal eagle]

Idk

Ik that's my favorite kind of armor though, with full plate everything and a cloak

Like this

[restive trench]

yeah it existed in 1190

[restive trench]

now this is historical

[vestal eagle]

What about this

It's fantastical, but is it historical?

[restive trench]

idk but probably fantasy too

[restive trench]

see depends on what u mean by historical

inspired by history

yes

[vestal eagle]

Would somebody back then genuinly wear that

[restive trench]

existed in history, probably not

[vestal eagle]

Genuinely*

[restive trench]

idk im no expert but id say nah

[vestal eagle]

Idk, but alls I know is that that ones cool, and this one is fucking stupid

[restive trench]

cause the heavy jacket thingy

[restive trench]

lmao

bulky mfer

[vestal eagle]

This is historically accurate

I'm sure it is

[loud patrol]

idk about the huge ass spikey ball

[vestal eagle]

The morningstar?

[loud patrol]

It existed yes but I'm not sure it would have looked like that.

[loud patrol]

where's it from?

[dim summit]

for some reason they completely forgot to have a complete blackened and blued armor set

you basically have all of them other than the half gauntlets

[drowsy finch]

Are you sure that's german?

Yes

[idle crest]

nope, for many reasons it is not accurate

[agile helm]

ts fr the most realistic thing ive seen yet

[brazen star]

E

[idle crest]

nope ):

[restive trench]

wait even this?

damn

OH

the armor

they only wore chain didnt they

[small spoke]

idk if knights or many people in History ever actually had horns on their helmets

[restive trench]

yeah

i also doubt they had fluffy ass jackets

[small spoke]

even vikings I think

[restive trench]

and cloaks and capes

[small spoke]

I mean even if they used horns I doubt they'd look like that tbh

[small spoke]

Cloaks maybe

[restive trench]

there were capes i think in references

[restive trench]

its like those small

capes

[small spoke]

ohh

yea I don't think they would really wear those

Just seems a little impractical

[restive trench]

#general-catfish-🐱🐟 message

[idle crest]

its essentially two types of armour from completely different periods on one guy at best

[small spoke]

Fashion over practicality

[restive trench]

yeah i just realized

now that i look at the image again

its probably ai generated

i thought its a game render :(

[idle crest]

but even then the plate armour is basically only inspired

[small spoke]

Which image

It looks like one of those uhh

Collection things

From a game

[rigid thicket]

soooo update when ?

[restive trench]

#general-catfish-🐱🐟 message

[small spoke]

ohh

Yea that's ai for sure

[idle crest]

Are you having a fucking laugh?

[small spoke]

two leather belts? And other weird things that don't really make sense

A pretty good ai image but still some minor details that make no sense

[restive trench]

what gave it for me is having 2 swords lol

one sheathed the other isnt

[idle crest]

theres actually nothing wrong with two leather belts really

thats just about the only thing not wrong with the image

[small spoke]

Oh my god I just realized the sword looks also like

Wobbly

[small spoke]

It's more about like

How they look together

Than the actual two leather belts

[restive trench]

when i saw them i thought it was like 1 for sword sheathe one for dagger

[small spoke]

They seem to like be connecting in some weird way

Not as separate belts but like two belts almost fused

[restive trench]

but idk if they had daggers back then

[small spoke]

Pretty sure it's just a small sword with a small handle

So I imagine they probably did

[restive trench]

yeah

[small spoke]

Ai is getting good but it still fucks up small details

[restive trench]

im happy it still fucks up

[small spoke]

From a first glance I didn't even realize

[small spoke]

real

[idle crest]

this is the low end of what AI is currently capable of

[small spoke]

That's a bit freakish

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-eating-spaghetti-will-smith-spaghetti-ai-gif-12546117032276153065

Remember when ai looked like this

Only a couple years ago

[idle crest]

the better end of AI is well beyond the point where if you showed it to someone theyd likely have no idea its AI unless they actually looked for clues

things like rings on fingers disappearing subtly are about as obvious as youll get in terms of hints when it comes to that sort of AI

[drowsy finch]

And certainly not German

[idle crest]

i really dont know anything about regional styles when it comes to armour before 1400s

and i dont think many people do

[drowsy finch]

Oh wait i thought you were talking about the mace

[weary tinsel]

what?

[drowsy finch]

I didn’t click the image

[idle crest]

regional styles dont tend to get brought up in conversation unless the armour is 1400s

at least its far less common

[weary tinsel]

interesting

[idle crest]

and people who dont know when a suit is flat out not accurate at all arent going to be able to tell if a suit is german or not

[drowsy finch]

Again i thought we were still on the wepon </3

[idle crest]

weapon looks completely wrong to me so idk

[dusty musk]

hi

[heady trench]

regional styles in germany vs france for example do get brought up pre 15th century

[dusty musk]

nvm goodbye

[idle crest]

anywhere near as much as later 1400s? i doubt it

people always talk about german or italian

[heady trench]

there may be a bit of confirmation bias here considering most discussions on armour are referring to 15th century plate armour, but when you are discussing 14th century armour it certainly isnt going to be treated like a monolith

[real hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/joe-biden-presidential-debate-huh-confused-gif-9508832355999336631

[heady trench]

and besides, "regional styles" are a bit misleading

[idle crest]

and are you going to tell me that regional styles like france or germany are going to be anywhere near as obvious from the 14th century as the late 15th century regional styles?

[weary tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/tish-bri-gif-8989407742432775903

[heady trench]

i mean, yeah. particularly german

[idle crest]

14th century is the main century i dont care about though tbf, i reenact every other century.

medieval that is

[heady trench]

since, iirc, the armour making of germany was a bit behind the others in the 14th century, it would be straightforward enough to make the distinction

[weary tinsel]

you can also tell the difference between armours way before 14th

regional wise

[idle crest]

you might be able to, i sure as fuck cant lol

[heady trench]

iberian helmets for example in the 11th and 12th century

[weary tinsel]

holy fuck so goated

[untold flume]

Executioners helmet

[heady trench]

executioners hamlet

[idle crest]

oookay bro come on now, spain is a bit seperated, i mean like, could you tell me what region a certain great helm is?

[real hatch]

the exeCutioneR

so cool

[idle crest]

or a certain bascinet i guess

[mystic python]

this helmet looks cool

[lucid atlas]

you dare name that helmet after such barbaric thing

[real hatch]

a mutual just got a book on high medieval Iberian styles so whoever said regional doesn’t matter pre 15th century is off da goop 🤨

[weary tinsel]

agreed

[drowsy finch]

I wish helmets were real

[idle crest]

this is what not reading whilst still making conclusions looks like

[weary tinsel]

same

omg this guys badass

I wish his armour was real

what

[idle crest]

ive got many in my room with me right now

[weary tinsel]

I dont get it

[little hornet]

[little hornet]

[drowsy finch]

That’s pretty cool armor …. I also wish it was real fr !!!

[little hornet]

I wish it was real

[weary tinsel]

huh.

[drowsy finch]

Wioajj….!!,,.,?!

[weary tinsel]

never knew lmao

[stark flume]

does it matter if its an alt if he cool as fuck

[idle crest]

ive got to be at a show next month where im portaying a norman soldier but im going to be cheeky and base my armour on my own interpretation of the tappestry which means im not using a hauberk, the maile will wrap around the entire thighs and crotch. Im going rogue.

[weary tinsel]

):

[little hornet]

cool

[lofty kindle]

You mean like the dev team does?

[little hornet]

naw ur kewl

[idle crest]

i used to go to mcdonalds in armour each week

[weary tinsel]

Ivan probs got a awesome helmet

[lucid atlas]

literally what most people day dream of doing

[lofty kindle]

A few of them.

[lucid atlas]

stop being so negative

[drowsy finch]

I bet it’s real too…

[weary tinsel]

yooooo

[little hornet]

I wish I had an awesome helmet, all my awesome helmet money goes to kids pizza and chuck e cheese esque locations (for hopefully obvious parent reasons)

[idle crest]

Have you heard of Feldlager? I think i spoke with you before about Chris, he wants me to do that show too.

[weary tinsel]

wait didn't they go to a store in armour

[drowsy finch]

Riight?? So cool

I should pay for a suit of armor instead of my college tuition !!!

[weary tinsel]

lmaoo

[lucid atlas]

oh yeaa, its that event that happens every once in a while no?

[little hornet]

mood

[idle crest]

dunno, all i know is that you're meant to be authentic the WHOLE time, even when public is gone

[lucid atlas]

sieges and what not, sounds cool

[idle crest]

i still need to repair his leg harness

[lucid atlas]

what happened to it

[lofty kindle]

They did!

[weary tinsel]

thats so cool

im not a nerd

[little hornet]

only nerds are cool

you better be a nerd

[idle crest]

ive worn it a lot, borrowed it for a while, it was already a bit in need of repair when he leant it but the issues cant be ignored now, im likely going to have to take the top two or three lames off of each cuisse and make new ones from scratch

[lucid atlas]

oof

[idle crest]

oh also me and him are making me a new arming doublet!!

[weary tinsel]

thats sick!

[idle crest]

once i have that made i can do my arm harness and things

i made pair of accurate 1470s hose from scratch but im waiting for the doublet to be finished before i complete the top of the hose

[lucid atlas]

tailoring your own arming doublet with the guy that lended you almost his entire harness has to be a pleasure

[idle crest]

it is man, he told me his wife might make the doublet for me but honestly id rather do it, im aware that shes said in the past that shes tired of making doublets because of her age so id rather not ask her to do it

i bought a loads of silk for lining

was gonna use silk velvet for outer layer but using material that expensive on an arming doublet is beyond what im willing to do, maybe for a normal doublet sure.

[stark flume]

[weary tinsel]

fr its my favorite band of all time

[idle crest]

tbf i dont even want chris to do much, literally i was gonna drive to his house on saturday but got a text from his wife in the morning saying i should come a different day because hes unwell and on emergency anti biotics.
Im perfectly happy doing my own tailoring honestly, i just need guidance.

[lucid atlas]

there's a few guides on how to make these things but you might be going for something a little more complex

[drowsy finch]

I could buy so many pole arms with my tuition money :((

This some bullshit

[idle crest]

for normal civillian kit im alright but for arming doublets its more tricky because theres way less info on them.
Plus we are copying his arming doublet

hopefully i dont need to modify the design much because me and him are basically the same build

[idle crest]

my halberd cost me 40 quid

[idle crest]

hes been on about selling me the kit actually.

at some point 😵‍💫

[lucid atlas]

im still curious to where toby harnesses go

[idle crest]

i actually spoke to him briefly the other day on insta about exactly that, he just sells them to people whenever he gets a new one

[lucid atlas]

gold mine harneses

[idle crest]

i was under the impression that he had a bunch of suits but he currently only has one

[idle crest]

literally

you know you aint getting shite if toby capwell had it made

[lucid atlas]

i mean a lot of his harnesses are just made by the best of the best

his blackened one is made by the partially retired MacPherson

[idle crest]

im very very lucky to live near chris because he knows all those guys and hes put me in contact with many because im learning to make armour.

[lucid atlas]

they ever refer to you of that one book for making armor

[idle crest]

i know a few people like that, the type of people who youll get discounts from random markets just for knowing them

[idle crest]

"the book"

i assume you mean the italian one?

[lucid atlas]

lemme look it up rq

[idle crest]

the book that chris refers to as "the book" is an italian limited print book about a bunch of suits of armour that were found in amazing condition inside a church

[hybrid granite]

I wanna learn blacksmithing so bad

[idle crest]

if thats the book you mean then i have held it in my very hands and browsed its contents

[drowsy finch]

40 squids is so man….y imgg..!!

[hybrid granite]

It sounds so interesting

[drowsy finch]

Wow….

[idle crest]

think this is it

[lucid atlas]

honestly realized how the book im referring to is specific for one period which isnt even what your going for

[idle crest]

that cover looks familiar

[idle crest]

oh what do you mean then?

[idle crest]

oh nah, chris probably has that but me and him are mainly late 15th century guys

although he does every fucking period

[brazen vale]

Hello fechter

[lucid atlas]

i'll technically do two in one but its very clever

[idle crest]

i know a guy whos almost like the early medieval equivalent of chris but i fell out with him ):

[lucid atlas]

sadd

[idle crest]

everyone falls out with him though, half of the early period reenactment groups in england exist because people have fell out with him

[lucid atlas]

damn

probably not doing well himself then

[idle crest]

uh nah hes just paranoid as fuck

he owns a reenactment group that i was in for years until about last month, fell out with him because i was getting involved with the other group in my county which was a split group from his, he believes they're the spawn of satan.

[lucid atlas]

damn

hopefully they dont have an actual skirmish

[idle crest]

there are events where my new group and his fight on opposite sides

and because of my armour im possiably going to be a rather significant person at the tewkesbury festival so ill be leading alot of people

[lucid atlas]

st florian?

[idle crest]

yep

[steel iron]

yo momma

[idle crest]

obviously not totally accurate for tewks but the person im portraying did have black and brass armour

just not exactly the same style

[hybrid granite]

Wish i could get a kettle or a barbute helmet

But i have a nice little budget of 0 dollars

[drowsy finch]

THIS is history.

[lucid atlas]

just sneak in a plume before the deadline comes

[hybrid granite]

I need to save up for one bury at the same time i need to upgrade my pc

Hard to decide

Do i want good performance in a game or a cool ass hat

[drowsy finch]

Hejj did you ever see the cool artifacts I got to gawk at ?

[idle crest]

i mean its just black and brass gothic armour really, most people in reenactment have much less accurate kit, at least my kit is accurate, just not quite for england.

[idle crest]

noop

[drowsy finch]

They’re pretty dope

Trigger warning for awesome stuff

[steel iron]

moeny

[idle crest]

id also like armour similar to this too, which makes two fancy black suits for me

similar vibes

[drowsy finch]

I desperately want to attend an auction

[idle crest]

can you summon a solar eclipse with that?

[drowsy finch]

No but I CAN have good luck!!

[idle crest]

nice :3

rightt?? they're pretty coool

I'm so happy that my school actually has cuneiform in the archives

thats still so so cool to me

[drowsy finch]

u should get an ankh scarab fr!!

How can historians look at this and say that they must be wearing hauberks, they clearly weren't wearing hauberks.

There is not a single piece of evidence throughout the entire bayeux tapestry to suggest the the guys in maile had riders splits. The maile is form fitting around their legs and curves down under the crotch in the same way that a jumpsuit would.

I'd go as far as to suggest that there is more evidence for back openings in the suits that would tie at the back than there is evidence for riders splits or hauberks that you would put on over your head.

[restive trench]

probably to commit fraud

[gloomy urchin]

[hybrid granite]

Oh that kind of scam

[gloomy urchin]

naked chainmail looks so weird

[restive trench]

u might have been scammed, the first 2 tablets you sent seem to be sumarian not Egyptian :(

[gloomy urchin]

im sorry BUT WHY ARE WE PRONOUNCING IT LIKE RANDEVU

[wanton portal]

they look like they were wearing rocks for armor

[restive trench]

still cool dou

[wanton portal]

why are we pronouncing "queue" as "q"?

[idle crest]

Another point about hauberks is that many of the armoured men in the tapestry are not wearing belts. trust me, if you are wearing a hauberk you want a fucking belt to tie the waist. In the tapestry they have no belt, which is justified by far more form fitting suits that you wouldn't be able to get over your shoulders if they were hauberks

[restive trench]

wait whats the difference between hauberks and chainmail

arent hauberks just chainmail skinsuits

[idle crest]

A hauberk is basically just a tunic made of maile, you put it on over your head

[restive trench]

oh head only?

[gloomy urchin]

stupid ass languages can cook literally every rule to the point they're really simple

and then spit out some horrid section that no one gets

[warm pebble]

ITS ALSO PRONOUNCED RANDEVU IN FRENCH

[idle crest]

It's like a tunic, the waist has to be wide enough to go over your shoulders when you're putting it on or taking it off

[restive trench]

word taken from french

english steals both the word and its pronunciation

[wanton portal]

oh thanks
Im learning french

[restive trench]

sometimes modify it

[gloomy urchin]

grrr

[warm pebble]

Theres another

[restive trench]

oo interesting

[gloomy urchin]

look at this fatass bunny

[wanton portal]

but the french invaded canada and gave their language back then to them
so is it really stealing if Canada has both american english and french given to them?

[restive trench]

all i know is sac means bag

[warm pebble]

Its a variation, quebec

[warm pebble]

That means "blocked way"

Cul means ass

So it doesnt make any sens

[restive trench]

using French words in english began in the shakespeare era

[idle crest]

Then you tie it to your waist with a belt so that it doesn't fuck your shoulders up.

[wanton portal]

ass bag

[warm pebble]

"Bag of ass" literraly

[idle crest]

Is that a sick fucking joke

[restive trench]

wait so is the difference basically one is worn over clothes the other is under

[restive trench]

i remember seeing a video once saying that

idk

[warm pebble]

Nope

Theres also "aurevoir"

[restive trench]

that just means goodbye doesnt it

or see u later

[warm pebble]

Literraly just goodbye but literraly in french

[idle crest]

Both over the difference is that the maile in the tapestry is shown like a jumpsuit, where the maile forms around the entire legs and the crotch. Hauberks dont do yhat, they are just like skirts when it comes to rhe leg region.

[warm pebble]

Same grammar same prononciation

[restive trench]

oooh okay

[idle crest]

Dude English literally evolved from French

Late old english is just barbarian talk and you cannot convince me otherwise

https://youtube.com/shorts/WLSBCs5vcgQ?si=tmDqSAlenHXMQ5f2

[idle crest]

No, French, which evolved from Latin

[wanton portal]

French evolved into Latin?

[warm pebble]

Mb, yea french evolved from latin, english evolved from frencg

[restive trench]

wait im bit confused, isnt english a germanic language and French a romance language or something like that

[warm pebble]

From

[wanton portal]

mb

[wispy lake]

casual anglo-phobia

[idle crest]

English is a German langue due to structure, but is massively French too because of thr Norman invasion replacing many words

[restive trench]

ooh yeah

[warm pebble]

French is... just used in english to be romantic.

Theres nothing sexy being called a tarte aux fromage

[wanton portal]

you sure?

[warm pebble]

French is romantic in some aspects, but there are so many comboes of insults possible that it might also be a slur language

[wanton portal]

I'd loved to be called a cheese tart

[warm pebble]

We have a word for being slapped by a willie

Why ?

Fuck if i know

[restive trench]

what

[warm pebble]

"Romantic language"

[wanton portal]

so theyre making shortcuts for insults
whats the big deal

[idle crest]

96 of the top 100 most spoken English words are germanic, but like 60percent of all English words come from Latin origin in one way or another.

[warm pebble]

I am DEAD serious

[restive trench]

btw

romance language doesnt mean romantic

means were spoken by romans

like roman empire

[warm pebble]

Eh, even then

[wanton portal]

why are words unnecessarily long? S'il vous plait is "please"

[warm pebble]

Trick or treat is

Des bonbon ou un sort

[wanton portal]

... why?

[idle crest]

After England was conqured and colonised again in 1066 the germanic aspects became more of a lower class thing while all the upper class people were speaking French. These days the origin of most English words is largely due to that class divide

[restive trench]

so Shakespeare's time was the second time?

[weak sundial]

oh shit are we doing linguistics in here

[restive trench]

cause i know Shakespeare and few other writers at the time coined words from other languages like French Italian etc

[idle crest]

Shakespeare was hundreds of years after lol

[restive trench]

infodumb pls

[weak sundial]

shakespeare was alive in the 1500s and early 1600s

so yeah. a little bit later

[warm pebble]

And fun fact

Bonbon does not respect ANY rules of basic grammar in french

You never put a N after a b for some reasons

It should be written bombom

[weak sundial]

i assume it's because of lip position

it's easier to say "mb" than "nb" because you can keep your lips closed the entire time

[warm pebble]

No, no, thats just to spite the french historians, lip position as nothing to do with the grammar i think

[idle crest]

English is essentially just German but with most of the words swapped out for French or Latin ones

[weak sundial]

we're dealing with phonetics here, not grammar structure

well, phonology i guess

[warm pebble]

We have words with m and n that sounds like n and m separately idk

I gave up on french a while ago imma be honest

[weak sundial]

the choices of what sounds can and can't follow each other in a language rely on phonological rules that are learned by speakers over time

[idle crest]

While learning German I was quite surprised how many rules there are for English sentence structure, in comparison to German

[warm pebble]

Tell that to my

Crééer

[drowsy finch]

They’re babylonian!

[warm pebble]

I mean, german is basically

Stuck 2 words with different meaning to make another word

[idle crest]

I wasted loads of time trying to understand german suffixes even though Germans themselves don't consciously learn that shit.

[warm pebble]

It just looks weird lol

Keyboard spam that actually makes sens

[weak sundial]

B and M are both what we call bilabial sounds, produced with lips closed. N is an alveolar sound, which relies on you pushing your tongue against the alveolar ridge (just behind the top teeth). there are words in english (and other languages, of course) that will feature an N and B sound right next to each other, but speakers will often turn the N sound into an M sound for ease of articulation

[restive trench]

theyre cool

[weak sundial]

they're both the same kind of noise, a nasal consonant, just produced with a different mouth shape/tongue placement

[weak sundial]

one of the big things about english is that it doesn't have a lot of case marking (subjective, nominative, etc) or inflections, so it relies more on word order and sentence structure to determine the meaning of a sentence

[idle crest]

I fully believe you could write out a perfect German sentence if you write English wirh horrid spelling

[weak sundial]

it didn't retain those inflections as it evolved, after splitting off from germanic

[drowsy finch]

Riiigghht?? So cool

[weak sundial]

no but if you know german you can probably do a half-decent job of reading old english

[idle crest]

Nominative basically always comes at the start in English Iirc

[weak sundial]

before the verb, yeah

english is actually unique in the sense of what i'm talking about, we're REALLY lacking on inflections

we also don't have a future tense

and before you say "but we say words like 'will' to talk about the future!!" that's what i mean. we can't inflect verbs or other words to denote the future

we can say are/were to talk about the present and the past, but there's no way to turn it into a future verb. we have to say "will be" instead. in linguistics we call this a periphrastic strategy

[idle crest]

Well, yeah our language just isn't like that

[weak sundial]

mhm

i'm just pointing it out for the sake of people's curiosity

[gloomy urchin]

[warm pebble]

I happily accept being smashed

[idle crest]

Bases?

[warm pebble]

That was right before ea lmao, now you have 75% cool people and the rest is just " you should die if you play ea"

[warm pebble]

Some guards and some basic attacks, still need a loooooooot of training

And an actual sword

[weak sundial]

oh, here's a fun fact you should know. since french and latin were the languages of the nobility and the clergy (who, historically, were some of the only people that could read), most books were written in french or latin, and often dealt with issues of religion or other studies. it stayed this way until Geoffrey Chaucer started writing storybooks in english in the mid-late 1300s.

his works, including the canterbury tales (his most famous work), were in english and talked about sex, drinking, adventure, the works. those books became popular for reading among the lower classes (those who could read would read books aloud to groups of people), and helped to prove that english, previously a peasant farmer's language, could be a language for writing, and that authors could be financially successful in writing english works instead of french or latin

[gloomy urchin]

BRO THIS RAIN

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[weak sundial]

he's not the only one, obviously. but he's one of the most important authors of the era for that reason

[gloomy urchin]

GLORY TO GFX DESIGNER!

[drowsy finch]

No it sucked then too, it was before the first blood update that it was reaaalllyy cool here

[weak sundial]

english entering the mainstream of writing and authorship proved its legitimacy as a language in an era where it was really only spoken by the peasant class

[restive trench]

thats cool

[restive trench]

kinda funny how its the opposite nowadays

a lot of countries consider English high class

[weak sundial]

mhm! english seems to be the standard for the 'developed' world, especially in business and politics

[idle crest]

I imagine someone whos actually gotten into hema for any significant amount of time could probably beat me in a sword fight but it's hard to say really.

Most of my effort when im sword fighting is not placing bad shots, if I didn't need to worry about all that then I'd probably be a much bigger issue for someone who does hema.

[warm pebble]

Im betting its all gonna be find when willies bp is slightly fixed, and then will all fall appart with gore 3.0 cause "eeeeeeh game too violent"

[drowsy finch]

We should go back to the people in power speaking latin

[warm pebble]

My ego's too big

[weak sundial]

which is largely because of english colonization across history and american imperialism in the 18 and 1900s, but i digress

[drowsy finch]

All the edgelords gonna crawl out from their crevices whenever gore is finalized 😭

[restive trench]

no people in power should sign hieroglyphics to each othrr

[idle crest]

English common law has been accepted by most of the world for being essentially the best

[drowsy finch]

I blame colonization for all my issues, sighhh

[weak sundial]

fun fact, latin hasn't actually been spoken natively since the 700s. since then, speakers and writers have had to be taught the language

[warm pebble]

Gore fanatics will love this

[hybrid granite]

i found the death of arthur by sir thomas malory on an online book shop (in my country) is it worth getting

[idle crest]

You'd be able to understand bossfight music

[drowsy finch]

Eueughhhh

[restive trench]

W!!

[weak sundial]

i think common law is really only used in english-speaking countries now, with some exceptions

[hybrid granite]

i've literally been thinking about this while i was walking home

[weak sundial]

much of the world uses civil law, instead

some places like louisiana and french canada use a mixed system, as france uses civil law and those places obviously have historical french influence

you'll have to open the image and zoom in, i fear

[restive trench]

sorry if question is stupid but what is "common law" exactly

[weak sundial]

common law is the system of law that america, the US, and the UK use. it's where judges preside over cases, make judgements based on previous cases and the relevant law, etc etc

[restive trench]

oo

[surreal ermine]

yet theres criminals in the usa walking free with over 100 arrests

[weak sundial]

that's not what i'm talking about at all 🙂‍↔️

i don't do much criminal law, i mostly study civil cases

[weak sundial]

laws in common law nations tend to be kind of open-ended, and a lot is left up to the interpretation of judges- this is also why the supreme court, for example, has to decide if a law falls one way or another, if something does or doesn't fall under what is prohibited by a law, that sort of thing

[surreal ermine]

no no i just read that message and remembered the 5 gazillion such cases ive seeen

[weak sundial]

well, that's your business i fear

[surreal ermine]

yes

[weak sundial]

laws (statutes) in civil law countries tend to be more comprehensive, and their enforcement is stricter. there's not as much room for interpretation on the part of judges aside from actually handing down sentences

granted, my understanding of civil law is not extensive by any means. do not take my word as gospel. this is just my general understanding of it

[idle crest]

No it's used all over the place, even between two non English speaking countries. In fact countries usually settle disputes In London through the High Court of justice

[weak sundial]

which countries?

[idle crest]

Around one third of the world uses English Common law apparently.

Off the top of my head

The UK, United States, Canada, Aussie and New Zealand, Israel.

These are the most significant I know of

[light vigil]

in south africa we just consult the orb

[weak sundial]

yes, but five of those are english-speaking countries (all of which are either the UK or were previously colonized by britain), and modern-day israel is largely rooted in the british mandate that controlled palestine in the 20th century

maybe english-speaking is the wrong choice, but common law is used pretty much exclusively by countries that had major historical influence from britain

[weak sundial]

check the map 🙂‍↕️

[idle crest]

I named the most significant ones i knew of, but its one third of the world, many countries mix English common law wirh religious laws and such

[weak sundial]

mixed systems are around as well, yeah!

[idle crest]

India being a big one

[weak sundial]

it's british post-colonial state so that makes sense

but i don't need to tell you that

i'm not going to deny it having a widespread influence, i just think saying that most of the world uses common law is a bit misleading 🙂‍↔️

especially when such a sizeable portion of what we consider the "developed" world uses a different system

i also can't speak to how in particular the mixed systems work. i would have to study for much longer to get a grasp on all of those and understand their nuances

[idle crest]

What I'm saying is that becauseits the biggest, countries that don't necessarily use it as a system will default to it when dealing with other countries that use different systems

Using it as rhe default mediator

[weak sundial]

common law is not the biggest. it's just used by a handful of countries that tend to hold more power on the global stage

only about 30% of the world lives in common law (or common law mixed system) jurisdictions, while roughly 60% live under some kind of civil law system

i won't deny it being used in international affairs though- i really don't know much about that and i'm not going to make any claims on what kind of law gets used when countries have disputes

[idle crest]

This is a weight of numbers problem, of course more jurisdictions are going to use civil law when France had all the tiny places that they did

Common law is the most dominant

[weak sundial]

i just don't think you're giving it enough consideration, that's all 🙂‍↔️

i don't mean to make an argument out of it

i will say, also, if you're a native english speaker and you almost exclusively consume english-language media, it's only natural that your personal world will be almost entirely filled with common law rather than civil law. if you were from spain, portugal, france, etc., you would surely have a much different view

but that's all! i need to get ready for class. lovely talking to you all

[idle crest]

What I'm saying is that because the major players use common law, it is the system used most of the time between multiple countries.

[weak sundial]

that i can agree with- like i said, it may not be the biggest, but it's used by certain countries that have major world influence

anyway, ciao

[drowsy finch]

I should skip to play the new outlast trials update

[idle crest]

That's exactly what I'd consider to be the biggest, it's used by the countries that actually carry global trade. Alot of civil law countries don't do a whole lot. But yes goodbye have fun

[wanton portal]

It is?

[pastel ibex]

I have recently been informed the servers are still running it was simply the dedicated app🫩

[wheat brook]

What??

Stop fucking playing with me bro

Stop bro you’re lying what do you mean??

[wheat brook]

Haha take that

[pastel ibex]

Why are you happy about this

[scarlet creek]

Because hating on ai is the most npc behaviour ever

[pastel ibex]

I feel like calling something npc behaviour is almost more npc like than using ai

[indigo hare]

I for one FUCKING LOVE AI

[scarlet creek]

I mean I hate on ai too but celebrating over these things is kinda unemployed behaviour

[indigo hare]

I hope it takes the haters jobs first

[pastel ibex]

It is absolutely a good thing when an ai dies

[scarlet creek]

[scarlet creek]

Brostrogen

No one used sora anyway

[pastel ibex]

And i for one think youre the equivalent of a baby laughing and clapping at jingling keys

[pastel ibex]

What does that even mean

[scarlet creek]

Brother + estrogen

[indigo hare]

I hope you lose your job first

Youre the equivalent of a loser being a loser

Got em

[pastel ibex]

And i hope you mature and grow!

[indigo hare]

Bro Youre insulting me for liking AI and telling ME to mature and grow

[scarlet creek]

Gregg here talking abt maturing while he's acting like the guy from his pfp

[indigo hare]

You can’t stop progress

[pastel ibex]

So wait im a woman because I dont like ai

[pastel ibex]

Yeah pretty much

[indigo hare]

You don’t see the irony in that?

[scarlet creek]

No never said that i just like saying brostrogen because everyone here is zesty af including me

[pastel ibex]

Is it progress if its causing mental regression as we see here

"Zesty" how old are you😭😭

[little hornet]

what's wrong with being a woman

[indigo hare]

Youre just as insufferable as actual AI/crypto bros just the other end of the spectrum

[pastel ibex]

Idk ask them

[scarlet creek]

SON

I'll use sissy instead then

And to answer your question

I'm 15

[pastel ibex]

Brother COME ON😭😭😭

[scarlet creek]

alr I'll use effeminate instead then

[indigo hare]

Ai isnt going anywhere. It’s only gonna keep advancing. Hating it to look unique and special aint it.

Boomer mf

And im old

[bitter python]

shittily executed bait vs someone avoidably falling for it

[pastel ibex]

Oh no im not hating it to look unique im hating it because it sucks ass and its inherently anti art

[indigo hare]

Fuck artists

Losers

🔥

Burn it all down

[pastel ibex]

Fuck did I fall for it😭

[scarlet creek]

"Anti art" art was always meant to be made for passion and not for money plus ai "art" is dogshit anyways

[bitter python]

for both the bait & the satire

[pastel ibex]

Shit oh well

[scarlet creek]

Most respectable companies hire animators and illustrators instead of using ai

[pastel ibex]

Okay so you agree it should be made for passion but when something that directly goes against that dies we shouldnt celebrate?

[scarlet creek]

What

Ai isnt chopping off your hands and stopping you from drawing or animating or whatever you like doing

[indigo hare]

Though I was just joking about FUCKING LOVING AI, I do genuinely think people who hate AI just do it because it’s counter culture. It’s not going anywhere. They are the people of every generation that complains about advances in technology or society. “Kids nowadays all wanna read books” type stuff

[bitter python]

personally i agree the death of one harmful tool out of many is a topic of celebration

[scarlet creek]

Harmful is wild

[pastel ibex]

It is objectively harmful

In several ways

[bitter python]

because..it's harmful

less than LLMs but still harmful

[scarlet creek]

Oh no this ai makes shitty unwatchable videos and will take away my non existent job!!!

come on dude, we all hate ai but it gets to a point

[pastel ibex]

We'll see if you feel the same way when 10 years from now everything you see on tv is ai generated since its "not going anywhere"

[indigo hare]

And nothing you say or think is gonna stop its advancement. The big corps that develop AI are the same that destroy the earth already in a million other ways. Just ride the wave

[indigo hare]

It won’t matter what I think. It’s still gonna be there lol

[pastel ibex]

Okay youre just agreeing its harmful also the environmental impact

[scarlet creek]

Mfs realizing water cooled data centers have been existing before they were born

[pastel ibex]

You know what else will be there? The strange colour in your water

And its a bad thing??

[indigo hare]

Yeah im sure it will be. So now explain how youre gonna stop it

[bitter python]

Oh no, this AI takes drinkable water that the people who need it have the right to and converts it into shitty unwatchable videos!!

[bitter python]

"They came for the trade unionists, and I said nothing, for I was not a trade unionist."

[scarlet creek]

As far as I know I dont drink distilled water

[pastel ibex]

Well i myself cant stop it but clearly its on its way out

[scarlet creek]

Also 2 hours of streaming shows and movies consumes more water than 300 prompts

[bitter python]

yeah, because they get their water not from the distilled water generator but from sources of potable water

[pastel ibex]

Okay so what youre saying is ai is bad and so is netflix

[scarlet creek]

Yeah

[indigo hare]

Im sorry, you think because our clean water will be poisoned by AI damages, that it will be on its way out? Do you just not know that they literally pump toxic sludge into water from factories? The fact that you think some environmental damage is gonna, A:make corporations stop making a buck, or B:make the general population force it stop it, Youre delusional

[bitter python]

is this for sora though

[pastel ibex]

I dont see how thats an argument on your end

[scarlet creek]

Do yk sora was barely used at all right

[pastel ibex]

No i think its on its way out BECAUSE ITS ON ITS WAY OUT

[scarlet creek]

Plus sora still consumed less water

😭

[bitter python]

besides, the comparison still doesn't make its water usage benign or justified at all

[indigo hare]

How?! It is developing and advancing in every aspect of life

In what way is AI on its way out

[pastel ibex]

And the main company behind it is slowly going bankrupt

Infact they just lost a massive deal

[bitter python]

(also, the inability of one person to shut the operation down by themselves doesn't mean they cannot hate ai)

[indigo hare]

The main company..

[little hornet]

clearly the answer is the nuke all of it and return to monkey

[pastel ibex]

Openai

[scarlet creek]

It doesnt but it does make you a hypocrite if you make use of the other data centers

[vestal eagle]

True

[pastel ibex]

The biggest company behind ai

[indigo hare]

You saying “the main company” just shows you don’t know what you’re talking about

[pastel ibex]

Is going bankrupt

[little hornet]

not really

[scarlet creek]

Yeah, the REAL main companies are google and anthropic afaik

[vestal eagle]

Ai is not going away, and I'm fine with that, and the moment Ai gains consciousness through Quantum Computing, I'm going to stop being a roboist

[scarlet creek]

Only reason I hate ai is because they made my ram more expensive but other than that idgaf

[bitter python]

using being a hypocrite is an ad hominem because it doesn't matter that the person who makes the argument is a hypocrite if their argument is correct

[pastel ibex]

Okay that says all we need to know about you aslong as something doesn't affect you you just dgaf

[bitter python]

so like, what exactly defends ai here

[scarlet creek]

When did I say AI is all good and sunshines

[pastel ibex]

They keep defending ai while actively making arguments against ai

[scarlet creek]

I said other data centres do the same shit

And you use data centres 24/7

[indigo hare]

So is your argument that AI is bad or that it’s on its way out? Those are two entirely different conversations

[scarlet creek]

Nah i'm just saying your behaving like an angry redditor

[pastel ibex]

Both

[neat tundra]

an individual person's use of energy and water from various services is nothing compared to the passive use of energy and water by corporations and factories existing.

[bitter python]

you have no reason to exaggerate; what you are saying is that hating ai is unproductive and you are irrelevantly bringing up other data centers

[indigo hare]

You better be using paper straws wrapped in plastic

[pastel ibex]

Whos angry? Im just saying ai is bad and its a good thing when the industry takes a hit nobody's angry and nobody's a redditor

[scarlet creek]

"Irrelevantly"? How is it irrelevant, and yes I still think hating on ai is unemployed behaviour

[indigo hare]

Reddit is notorious for absolutely hating anything AI

[vestal eagle]

We are going to end up living in a Detroit: Become Human type world, nobody can stop it, and to be honest, Ai is incredibly helpful to the human race, it's just the next upgrade in technology

[pastel ibex]

That is the most irrelevant thing said in this conversation so far

[scarlet creek]

That applies to every single service

[violet garden]

AI is 100% not on its way out but I hate it and it’s categorically evil because any time I say something funny and cool people say it is AI

[indigo hare]

Im just explaining his comment to you

[scarlet creek]

Lmfao

[bitter python]

it's irrelevant for it doesn't defend ai in any way that makes it unproductive to hate, wherein the harm it does is STILL a valid source of hate for it

it isn't on its way out, but it really should be

[scarlet creek]

It's unproductive to hate because your whining isn't stopping technological advancements

[pastel ibex]

I know what he meant by redditor dude

[indigo hare]

Well at this point you certainly are acting like one 😔
