Plus, the biggest concern regarding the deflection of blow by plate armor was lances. A lance blow is often described as having the momentum of both the rider and the horse behind it (not quite true, but certainly more than just the knight). That is a lot of force for a body to absorb

There is only once context of actual use where this is true: jousting. And this is because it was a sport that the competitors expected to walk away from.

Apart from that, what you said is a complete myth. Mobility what highly important on the battlefield, and armorers had to keep that in mind throughout the middle ages. There are many instances where troops acquire or are given pieces of armor that they later discard because it was too heavy or hindered them, and the weight you're imagining is not all that great. And this is not a problem unique to the middle ages - it still happens up to the modern day

As for full plate, it's not actually as heavy as you think it is because there are a lot of shaping techniques used to gain the maximum amount of strength for the least amount of weight. Generally Late Medieval full plate harness weighed 35-55lb Source

There are medieval reenactment groups such as the Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) or Historical Medieval Battle (HMB) where people will regularly wear armor and fight. I myself do this, and my kit fluctuates between 40-55lb depending on what I'm fighting with that day. Adding that to my body weight results in a total of about 200lb, and dare you to claim that people at that weight can't move around.

What's even funnier is that groups like HMB tend to have armor that's significantly heavier than the medieval period because they need their armor to last a lot longer. In period, men at arms only needed their armor to last a few battles, while reenactors look to use their armor on a weekly-to-monthly basis for years

If you're good at something, never do it for free.

Someone that's good at voice acting still gets paid for their time and expertise, even if no physical resources were spent doing their work

So you couldn't list any off the top of your head and had to rely on a list made by someone else. You're really just proving my point here

You go do the work, and enjoy some books while you do it.

You clearly don't understand how things work.

You made the claim. Therefore you have to provide sources to back up your claim

Everyone's correctly pointing out how healing doesn't with that way

Keep in mind that they never specified the game system

First of all its just inaccurate. Many heros in many fantasy settings have some kind of limitation/disability

In Pathfinder, magic is common enough that either your village or the next will have a healer capable of that powerful of a heal spell. The only catch is that the casting costs about a year's worth of wages for a peasant

Are you telling me you don't use multiple screens while gaming?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Well, there's Sentinel Island, but we keep people away from there for many, many good reasons

Or it being 5 years in the future with significantly more efficient SOC's and batteries

That being said, the Nintendo DS's last US patents should expire in November. Maybe they could do a dual screen?

I'm looking into building my first NAS/Jellyfin server, and one thing I keep wondering about is whether I should try and make it work as a Sunshine server to stream games to my TV via Moonlight.

On my current desktop, I mainly do this for emulated games or former console exclusives. That being said, I'd rather not use my desktop as a server, hence wanting to cram it into a NAS/Jellyfin server. Is this a good idea? Or should I drop it and keep the media server separate?

 

Per the title, I remember TheDude mentioning that he will set up a way to donate money to help cover server expenses months back. I haven't seen a link yet and wondering if that's been done
