Thank you

Curious. Do you still consider Pluto a planet?

I am on you side for the AD versus CE thing. But we are a dying breed. The jews will win.

I don't have a strong position on Pluto. I don't think its classification has anything to do with politics.

Nobody wants a roundhouse kick when you're wearing these bad boys

That's beautiful work.

Haha, +2 Gladius Greaves. My 5th-level knight has +4.

Wow whoever wore those was a scrawny little fuck

Turns out fat fuckwits don't last very long in the arena. Look at paintings/statues/photos of the hardcore war heros, none of them are big dudes. Big dudes die easy outside of the pay-per-veiw bullshit you are used to worshiping.

I'm not thinking fat, I'm thinking muscular

Are you gonna tell me scrawny dudes were idealized and would out-battle tall muscular men?

[–] • 0 pt 4y

Yes, being big with either fat or excess muscle slows you down a lot. Actual combat boils down to speed. Being tall is also a disadvantage.

They didn't have the steroids back then.

[–] • 1 pt 4y

Lol I've never taken a steroid and those greaves are for a child IMHO

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts 4y

These are for the shins (form the knee down to the ankle) not the entire leg.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt 4y

They also didn't have factory farming and supermarkets either.

That's just flexing at this point.
