The cultist used to hang out with based folks, but they're nowhere to be seen in his recent vids and some boring cucks sit in their places. What happened? Did he have a shitflinging incident with them or something?
Shad's been revealed as a hack too many times for them to countenance hanging out with him. Also, he's Australian. Lindy has similar problems, although he at least does *some* research.
People (trannies) on /tg/ literally just hate shad and lindy because they are conservatives (very very very liberal conservatives, who agree with nearly every liberal stance but get mad at woke movies sometimes. Basically milquetoast republicucks are mindbreaking these “people”
Nobody gives a fuck that Lindy's a Con and Shad's a Mormon, they're just funny details that illuminate why they're both so shit at critical thinking.
Lindy's basically possessed of a very British confident tone/attitude but he's also frequently very badly informed on basic topics. Top marks for enthusiasm, but anything new I hear on his videos I assume it's wrong rather than true.
His persona is unapologetically British and the man himself is generally pro-British. He doesn't bend over backwards to appease foreigners by self-loathing, and they hate him for it. It's xenophobia

Go to the archive, people where criting Shad here way before he started sharing his opinions because of how dense he is about weapons and how much he overstate the usefulness of the spear.
He's basically a real life Little Englander who isn't funny or at least capable of demonstrating self-awareness in his presentation. What's more, his history content is thinner than that of Howards Conan stories.
Matt also talks about english things a lot, but he's at least at the Horrible Histories-tier and generally aknowledges that the rest of the world isn't a french ploy to eventually sink the islands.
>I haven't watched that guy in years.
Neither did anyone else, but he did enough of shit years ago to be treated like a village retard

Just seemed like a regular soldier to me. Can't really blame the dudes on the ground, especially if they volunteer for what they're told is a just war.
Lindybeige is annoying because he's the polar opposite retard of the more well-known katana-loving weeb retards. Instead of sucking off mitsubushi honda toyota swords he argues dumb shit about katanas being completely useless "sharpened crowbars" and that you'd be better off with a #2 pencil or some crap. Very annoying guy with a chip on his shoulder about anything that isn't European.
He's the kind of lad that works best in a live setting, where you can call him out when he goes full British.
He's a good entertainer anyway, but you can't take him as the gospel truth, and that's annoying in the YouTube format.

Lindy turns into a raging baby whenever he tries to talk about anything that isn't European. Japanese shit especially he's always seething like a moron.
I’m no great shad fan but I don’t think he falls for pop-history shit. Do you have any examples? From what I’ve seen it seems like he has a pretty good general view on medieval things.
Matt decided to throw someone under the bus for not buying into modern hypersexualism.
Shad is fucking cringe but I respect him for making an actual working back scabbard.
That's definitely a crazy project for one tubby dude to do just because it looks cool and he wanted to win an online argument.

Nah shad's a complete normie by my standards of public decorum.
Matt Easton and Todd from Todd's workshop are the onlybones of those guys I've watched. They seemed pretty down to earth people who didn't pretend to have perfect knowledge of the past, not really like the fart-huffing sort.
Yeah Todd is great because instead of getting into stupid debates about armour he just sets up plates and fires stuff at them to see what works. I love his practical approach to those questions.
Then it would be 3 old guys and 3 wimpy nerds and gays.
I find it amazing that people that expose themselves on the internet as fighting enthusiasts can't even get to a base level of physical fitness and actually do what they spend their whole lives wanking about in front of a camera.
It isn't an excuse, but most people aren't fit. Around half of all Americans are either overweight or dangerously overweight, men more often than women.
only because women have a far higher bar to being overweight

it’s not weird, sustainable muscle mass is determined by bf%, the fatter you are the more muscle you can maintain
bf% required to maintain a certain muscle mass is determined by testosterone (free iirc), meaning the less test you gave the fatter you need to be to maintain the same muscle mass
fat is also needed for muscle and organs to function, the same person with the same muscle mass is going to be stronger at a higher bf%
this all is why strongmen and powerlifters are fat, and why women need a lot more fat to operate at peak efficiency
the flip side is that being fat is stressful to the body, not just because of the fat itself, but physically having all that mass
women are just not well designed

This seems weird. I'm a slightly buffed dude. Not "action hero" level but "extra in a sword and sandal movie" level. I workout daily. A little bit too much fat for my taste, but not overweight.
When I was living in Southeast Asia, I had to carry my AC unit when moving flat. Shit was nearing 80kg. I could barely walk a few steps carrying it.
The AC guy, who was a local, had arms so thin your could wrap your hands around and so little body fat you could see individual muscle fibers on his chest.
He picked up that same AC unit on his shoulder and walked down the stairs, for five floors, without breaking a sweat.

I said the same person with the same muscle mass, not a different guy with a different body, your CNS could be shit tier, you could have a muscle imbalance that makes you borderline handicapped, he could have far more test and offset the body fat requirement, there’s a million reasons why you’re weaker than him, and none of it has anything to do with what I said.

Dude. I got your point, but sorry, if a guy can have extremely low body fat and fairly low muscle mass yet a very high effective strength, the idea that strength is directly proportional to muscle and fat volume doesn't seem to hold.
I'm aware that this is an imperfect experiment, because other factors are at play, but still.

HE would be stronger at a higher bf% =/= YOU would be stronger than HIM because you’re fatter

Yeah, I understood your point. But did you understand mine?
I don't know how our test level compared, but I highly doubt his was much higher than mine, if higher at all. He looked like your average Southeast Asian dude.
>the idea that having more muscle and caloric surplus makes you stronger than less muscle and caloric surplus doesn’t seem to hold
Or, maybe, there are different types of muscle structure, some of which have much higher effective power per kgs of muscle mass.
And which type of muscle you build doesn't depend on either your testosterone levels or your body fat, or perhaps could be inversely proportional in some cases.
It would also make sense that this isn't the ideal type of muscle mass you would want to build if you are a competitive weight lifter (maybe it favours endurance, maybe it hits a ceiling in level of strength at some point, maybe both).
Point is: I don't know, but I advise caution when it comes to coming up with definite models about the human body. It's a much stranger machine than you would think.

Who gives a fuck what the average paste eater does or doesn't do, be better than them in all aspects be it morally, financially, or physically.
That's a good question, actually. Every battle shounen worth a damn either has tons of training montages, a focus on martial arts, or both. RPGs are all about doing repetitive tasks to get stronger. You'd think autistic nerds would both be disconnected enough to want to mimic their heroes and confortable enough with routine tasks to do this for years.
Capeshit is the only exception. Those heroes tend to get their powers from some alien heritage*, scientific experiments, ancient gods or magic. Very rarely does a capeshit hero become strong through constant training.
*yes, Goku is technically an alien but he constantly trains and improves to beat ever stronger opponents. The only benefit his alien heritage gives him is that he gets stronger whenever he gets the shit beaten out of him. Incredibly overpowered, but it still fits the theme of training to get stronger (as opposed to being doused in chemicals while being hit by lightning).
Nerds should be fucking jacked, with the exception of Marvel and DC soibois.
They’re fat nerds, like you. The only difference is that they entertain and maybe even educate hundred, perhaps thousands of people. What have you got to show for yourself?

have pretty good builds and they're some of the only weaponry content creators I respect. You can talk all day about technique and stances but if you can't swing the sword more than 3 times in succession, what's the fucking point?
At least Shad has some actual medical issues fucking him up.
Lindy and the Mormon kid belong in the trash.
I rather like the guy.
used to watch shad as a teenager. I check in on him a couple days ago and he's ranting about the barbie movie hating men or something. Also a quick lookup and yesterday the bald guy on the far right of the picture apparently cut all ties with him over some political affiliations. I thought his content was about swords and castles lol
Easton on the right decided Shad being some basic-ass Christian (ish, I'm not here to get into Mormonism vs Nicean Christianity) was enough to put a proscription on him.

Nah the Mormons have some degree of trinitarianism just a slightly broken version of it.
It's the Satan as Jesus's brother bit that they're really goofy on.
In this case I'm saying "Basic Christian" because the particular beliefs that caused the REEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeing were the ones common with actual standard denominations.
And mental issues when he put out a video literally crying over the state of men's lives.. while trying to brag how he had a family and kids. Came across as a pathetic loser.
Probably not that strange, really. Maybe a little.
I play as a human paladin who always attempts to do the most good, but he is a young man in a foreign location, and so he often comes off as a little bit pompous or overly charitable.
The rest of the party is:
A chaotic human fighter trying to become a thief to become a bard.
A chaotic half-orc thief.
A chaotic half-elf fighter-thief.
And a chaotic human magic user.

It gets funnier because:

2. The character started as human barbarian pirate, died and got reincarnated, rolled in a table and got Vanara

The fact you know this to make a correction only confirms you're a gay.
He's the most "that guy" of the group because he goes actively against the GM's setting that character is the best example. He's not a bad guy at all but he pushes for concepts all the time.
The ratfolk in the GM's setting are a very new race discovered,
their culture is tribal and shamanistic with little technology beyond archaic forgin. That player wanted specifically to be a posh british like rifleman, very groomed, clean, knowledgeable and with proper clothing who has been traveling through the continents for a while.

I haven't watched the Barbie movie, but I've heard only two (contradictory?) things about it >It's a feminist movie that hates men >Ken is literally me! I am Kenough!
It makes me want to watch it myself, given how many people so radically disagree about it.
>Ken is literally me! I am Kenough!
Beaten down male apologist third wave feminist men perhaps. You should at least watch this video so you'll have some frame of reference for when someone says that.
>It's a feminist movie that hates men
The Barbies care about them like you'd care about a stranger at the other end of a subway car. If that qualifies as hate, then that noun has official joined the list of ironic signifiers.
It's a stupid retarded unfilm made by a fucking woman high on sniffing her own farts. It is nonsense.
But OTHER fart sniffers, high upon THEIR own supply think if you purposefully ignore ore how fucking awful and terrible it is its ACSHULLY the total opposite.
Simply by dint of the creators utter fucking vaginal incompetence at doing anything. Both sides are wrong. It's JUST fucking retarded shit. That's it.
>At the end of the film, what you see in it just reflects your view on gender politics.
It ended with a: "I have a vagina now" joke, for everybody's information.
>>It's a feminist movie that hates men
Ben shapiro following his nose for a basic critique of the movie >>Ken is literally me! I am Kenough!
Ryan gosling plays a guy who has girl troubles. Lonely guys on the internet imprint onto him. News at 11.
Also the movie is incompetent at being feminist and accidentally exposes its retardation. If you squint hard enough you can make out a conservative message. The part of the right where fun is allowed took advantage of this half as a troll and half as an excuse to put forward the ideas. It was funny.
Shad has a side channel where he does political stuff, it’s literally just crying about woke movies and games. Very very cringe and gay bland shapirostein content but somehow that was enough to make Matt bend the knee, suck a bbc and cut ties. He doesn’t even mention politics slightly on his main channel as far as I’m aware.

Aside from the fact that there's a lawful neutral, almost evil, imperial guy, not much, for DnD 3.5e standards anyhow.
There's the young but extremely knowledgeable and cocky bard, who may or may not unknowingly be more dragon than human.
There's the Gold Dragonborn honorable Knight.
There's the well meaning, usually nearly stoic, Barbarian Frenzied Berserker who's tortured by the mistakes he made, and continues to make, during his frenzy episodes.
There's the samurai guy whose whole personality is "while you were doing bitches, I was studying the blade".
There's the brainy Artificer/Technomage that's in it to get as much god metal as possible to create more and more of his gadgets.
There's the aforementioned lawful evil imperial Rogue guy, who's a high ranking official of said evil empire. Despite not giving a shit about others, and even enjoying their suffering to some extent, he's not a murderhobo, and he is fiercely loyal to our group.
Then there's my character, the warrior priest type that's on an official quest for the religion he's affiliated with. He ended up befriending the group and now even owes his life to them as they resurrected him, despite only having known him for a couple of weeks, after he got killed in their last dungeon dive.
All in all, a pretty cool group of dudes.
There was supposed to be a chick playing a Druid too, but she never showed up.
There's also a couple of old PCs that show up as NPCs from time to time.
Big Strongman Elf Ranger (CN), constantly trying to obtain a pet
Halfling Rogue/Sorcerer (CG), generally up to no good
Dwarf Barbarian (LG) who doesn't really do much outside of combat
Dwarf Monk (NG) who is very monk-like and rarely speaks except for when he has something notable to say
Half-Elf Artificer (CN) who's inventions always have some weird drawback (eg. Wagon with Octagonal wheels)
Human Paladin (Female) (LG) who's an iron-bitch type character, very strong willed
Human Bard/Warlock (NE), actually writes songs, talks like a 50-60s greaser (this is in a high fantasy setting)
Previous Members:
Goliath druid (LG) who trampled two peasants as a giant elk (Retired)
Human Bard (NG) with social anxiety, actually a good character idea, but not for the party (Retired)
Human Gunman/Cleric (LG) who sexually harassed a wizard and then found the Light (Retired to join the Clergy)
Human Artificer (TN) who died of dysentery after being nearly killed by a troll (Left the campaign)

Tell me more about the croc, please. I assume his ref is a Kroxigor? Most croc men usually look wrong because being built low to the ground with stubby legs is intrinsic to the look of the animal.
Afaik he's built a little like Leatherhead to a point, although his form is a result of a fey curse(to some extent all beast men in the setting are). He's a bit a snarky wise ass and is very highly fond of ambush tactics, as crocodiles do.

You should follow the rules you made when you created your fantasy world, if you start to ignore them and they just excuse it with "fantasy!" you suck
When telling a story you choose when details are relevant, there's a bunch of bullshit that is "historical accurate" but no one gives a shit about... like shit.

2/4 completely normal, 2/4 acceptable levels of strange.
1 campaign is balls to the wall strange, just how the DM likes it, but there's so much OP homebrew bullshit that it should be in its own category.
do you think they huff each other’s farts too or just stick to their own?
Lindy and the Mormon kid belong in the trash.
The cultist used to hang out with based folks, but they're nowhere to be seen in his recent vids and some boring cucks sit in their places. What happened? Did he have a shitflinging incident with them or something?
Shad's been revealed as a hack too many times for them to countenance hanging out with him. Also, he's Australian. Lindy has similar problems, although he at least does *some* research.
Nobody gives a fuck that Lindy's a Con and Shad's a Mormon, they're just funny details that illuminate why they're both so shit at critical thinking.
Lindy simped for chckholes like a good npc, and his hot takes are mostly retarded contrarianism. He's just a retarded boomer.
>Lindy simped for chckholes like a good npc
Uh huh. Did he also visit your mom?
chckholes?
It's a typo, meant to read 'cuckholes'.
>captcha:GAY4XJ
Tell me about Lindy, what did he do? I haven't watched that guy in years.
>I haven't watched that guy in years.
Neither did anyone else, but he did enough of shit years ago to be treated like a village retard
Lindy's basically possessed of a very British confident tone/attitude but he's also frequently very badly informed on basic topics. Top marks for enthusiasm, but anything new I hear on his videos I assume it's wrong rather than true.
His persona is unapologetically British and the man himself is generally pro-British. He doesn't bend over backwards to appease foreigners by self-loathing, and they hate him for it. It's xenophobia
People (trannies) on /tg/ literally just hate shad and lindy because they are conservatives (very very very liberal conservatives, who agree with nearly every liberal stance but get mad at woke movies sometimes. Basically milquetoast republicucks are mindbreaking these “people”
>People hate loud, obnoxious retards due to their never mentioned politics, rather the fact that they are loud, obnoxious retards
I guess everything can be part of a culture war if your IQ is low enough. But then again, I'm reminded how the algorithm works, so it would be surprising if you weren't a drooling moron
>being this blatantly disingenuous
You aren’t fooling anyone, moron. Acting obtuse and dishonest might work on the kids you groom but it won’t work on any adults here.
Go to the archive, people where criting Shad here way before he started sharing his opinions because of how dense he is about weapons and how much he overstate the usefulness of the spear.
yup
He's basically a real life Little Englander who isn't funny or at least capable of demonstrating self-awareness in his presentation. What's more, his history content is thinner than that of Howards Conan stories.
Matt also talks about english things a lot, but he's at least at the Horrible Histories-tier and generally aknowledges that the rest of the world isn't a french ploy to eventually sink the islands.
>generally aknowledges that the rest of the world isn't a french ploy to eventually sink the islands.
can't be too careful man
Also don't forget how they exposed Ukrainian war for being a sham... Without setting out to do it.
qrd?
He interviewed a bunch of volunteer soldiers who fought for Ukraine. I assume it wasn't flattering
Just seemed like a regular soldier to me. Can't really blame the dudes on the ground, especially if they volunteer for what they're told is a just war.
What are you talking about?
Lindy is fine, just ignore the ENGURLAND wank and his constant crying about Napoleon
Lindybeige is annoying because he's the polar opposite retard of the more well-known katana-loving weeb retards. Instead of sucking off mitsubushi honda toyota swords he argues dumb shit about katanas being completely useless "sharpened crowbars" and that you'd be better off with a #2 pencil or some crap. Very annoying guy with a chip on his shoulder about anything that isn't European.
He's the kind of lad that works best in a live setting, where you can call him out when he goes full British.
He's a good entertainer anyway, but you can't take him as the gospel truth, and that's annoying in the YouTube format.
Gotta give this to Lindy, his "old school British professor" presentation is quite more pleasant to listen to than Shad's bombastic overacting.
>Gotta give this to Lindy, his "old school British professor" presentation is quite more pleasant to listen to than Shad's bombastic overacting.
Lindy turns into a raging baby whenever he tries to talk about anything that isn't European. Japanese shit especially he's always seething like a moron.
Agreed, Shad gets close to spazzing out and throwing a rabid fit when he gets going.
I dislike the left two for Shadiversity's pop history takes and Lindybeige's bias and derangement, but the right three can stay.
I’m no great shad fan but I don’t think he falls for pop-history shit. Do you have any examples? From what I’ve seen it seems like he has a pretty good general view on medieval things.
Shad seemingly got stuck at crenelations and failed to find or present architecture-related topics in ways people cared to watch videos about.
So he tried all sorts of dumb stuff, including starting a right-wing media takes channel.
Now Shad sicced the Fandom Menace fags on Matt for not wanting to associate with him further.
What?
Matt decided to throw someone under the bus for not buying into modern hypersexualism.
That's definitely a crazy project for one tubby dude to do just because it looks cool and he wanted to win an online argument.
Lindy's really dumb on stuff like guns and WW3 etc.
ok shad
Nah shad's a complete normie by my standards of public decorum.
Matt Easton and Todd from Todd's workshop are the onlybones of those guys I've watched. They seemed pretty down to earth people who didn't pretend to have perfect knowledge of the past, not really like the fart-huffing sort.
Yeah Todd is great because instead of getting into stupid debates about armour he just sets up plates and fires stuff at them to see what works. I love his practical approach to those questions.
>he does it for free
3 old guys, a wimpy nerd and a wimpy gay
they get owned by the first goblin group that comes across them
Post physique
they're all gays
Shad is actually a pretty strong dude. Pulling the bows he pulls is no small task, even if you don't hold draw for long.
Tard strength, amirite
Is that Steve Jackson?
>no Skallagrim
Then it would be 3 old guys and 3 wimpy nerds and gays.
I find it amazing that people that expose themselves on the internet as fighting enthusiasts can't even get to a base level of physical fitness and actually do what they spend their whole lives wanking about in front of a camera.
The old guys are all based tho.
>why aren’t nerd dweebs fit and masculine?
Good question. Not being fit this day and age is lunacy.
It isn't an excuse, but most people aren't fit. Around half of all Americans are either overweight or dangerously overweight, men more often than women.
only because women have a far higher bar to being overweight
I mean if your standard for males is a bodybuilder in pre-show training mode...
I have no clue what you’re trying to say, but a woman being literally 1/3 fat is in the normal range
On what bases is that bodyfat ideal or not?
Find it weird that the range for ideal female bodyfat is an entire columns
thinner than male one.
it’s not weird, sustainable muscle mass is determined by bf%, the fatter you are the more muscle you can maintain
bf% required to maintain a certain muscle mass is determined by testosterone (free iirc), meaning the less test you gave the fatter you need to be to maintain the same muscle mass
fat is also needed for muscle and organs to function, the same person with the same muscle mass is going to be stronger at a higher bf%
this all is why strongmen and powerlifters are fat, and why women need a lot more fat to operate at peak efficiency
the flip side is that being fat is stressful to the body, not just because of the fat itself, but physically having all that mass
women are just not well designed
>fat is also needed for muscle and organs to function, the same person with the same muscle mass is going to be stronger at a higher bf%
This seems weird. I'm a slightly buffed dude. Not "action hero" level but "extra in a sword and sandal movie" level. I workout daily. A little bit too much fat for my taste, but not overweight.
When I was living in Southeast Asia, I had to carry my AC unit when moving flat. Shit was nearing 80kg. I could barely walk a few steps carrying it.
The AC guy, who was a local, had arms so thin your could wrap your hands around and so little body fat you could see individual muscle fibers on his chest.
He picked up that same AC unit on his shoulder and walked down the stairs, for five floors, without breaking a sweat.
I said the same person with the same muscle mass, not a different guy with a different body, your CNS could be shit tier, you could have a muscle imbalance that makes you borderline handicapped, he could have far more test and offset the body fat requirement, there’s a million reasons why you’re weaker than him, and none of it has anything to do with what I said.
Dude. I got your point, but sorry, if a guy can have extremely low body fat and fairly low muscle mass yet a very high effective strength, the idea that strength is directly proportional to muscle and fat volume doesn't seem to hold.
I'm aware that this is an imperfect experiment, because other factors are at play, but still.
Learn to read, you illiterate fucking retard. I said
>bf% required to maintain a certain muscle mass is determined by testosterone (free iirc), meaning the less test you gave the fatter you need to be to maintain the same muscle mass
IE test determines the bf% needed to function at a given level
hence
>he could have far more test and offset the body fat requirement
HE would be stronger at a higher bf% =/= YOU would be stronger than HIM because you’re fatter
You fucking retard.
Yeah, I understood your point. But did you understand mine?
I don't know how our test level compared, but I highly doubt his was much higher than mine, if higher at all. He looked like your average Southeast Asian dude.
Or, maybe, there are different types of muscle structure, some of which have much higher effective power per kgs of muscle mass.
And which type of muscle you build doesn't depend on either your testosterone levels or your body fat, or perhaps could be inversely proportional in some cases.
It would also make sense that this isn't the ideal type of muscle mass you would want to build if you are a competitive weight lifter (maybe it favours endurance, maybe it hits a ceiling in level of strength at some point, maybe both).
Point is: I don't know, but I advise caution when it comes to coming up with definite models about the human body. It's a much stranger machine than you would think.
>Or, maybe, there are different types of muscle structure, some of which have much higher effective power per kgs of muscle mass. And which type of muscle you build doesn't depend on either your testosterone levels or your body fat, or perhaps could be inversely proportional in some cases.
Yeah, except that is not the case at all, you fucking retard.
>the idea that having more muscle and caloric surplus makes you stronger than less muscle and caloric surplus doesn’t seem to hold
It's a bit weird. More muscle does mean more strength, but you can be strong even as a skinny guy if you train for it and eat little. But if that strong little guy bulked up, he would be even stronger.
I'm glad there's at least one anon here who got my point.
Explain old man's strength.
he’s literally saying the same thing as everyone else, retard
>you can be strong even as a skinny guy if you train for it and eat little
Which means, with an equal body type (same level of testosterone etc...) strength isn't always directly proportional to muscle mass + body fat.
Which is exactly my point.
YOU. STUPID. FUCKING. moron.
THAT GUY WOULD BE STRONGER WITH MORE MASS AND FAT
HOW ARE YOU THIS FUCKING RETARDED
THAT BODY, IN THAT EXACT CONFIGURATION IS WEAKER WITH LESS MASS AND ENERGY
FUCKING moron
Wrong. Men are overweight to obese. Women are now morbidly obese on average.
>it's ok to be a weakling just because most other people are. The average person is a consumerist retard living paycheck to paycheck and one the highway to divorce within a few years.
Who gives a fuck what the average paste eater does or doesn't do, be better than them in all aspects be it morally, financially, or physically.
That's a good question, actually. Every battle shounen worth a damn either has tons of training montages, a focus on martial arts, or both. RPGs are all about doing repetitive tasks to get stronger. You'd think autistic nerds would both be disconnected enough to want to mimic their heroes and confortable enough with routine tasks to do this for years.
Capeshit is the only exception. Those heroes tend to get their powers from some alien heritage*, scientific experiments, ancient gods or magic. Very rarely does a capeshit hero become strong through constant training.
*yes, Goku is technically an alien but he constantly trains and improves to beat ever stronger opponents. The only benefit his alien heritage gives him is that he gets stronger whenever he gets the shit beaten out of him. Incredibly overpowered, but it still fits the theme of training to get stronger (as opposed to being doused in chemicals while being hit by lightning).
Nerds should be fucking jacked, with the exception of Marvel and DC soibois.
Post physique
goku also gets stronger from dying, so maybe all the retards modeling their life on a chinese cartoon just died copying him
They’re fat nerds, like you. The only difference is that they entertain and maybe even educate hundred, perhaps thousands of people. What have you got to show for yourself?
I'm a fit nerd and I have fought like 20 times when I was a teen.
Good luck taking out Matt, you fucking moron.
He would kick his pasty ass. I'm certain of it.

At least Shad has some actual medical issues fucking him up.
I rather like the guy.
Easton on the right decided Shad being some basic-ass Christian (ish, I'm not here to get into Mormonism vs Nicean Christianity) was enough to put a proscription on him.
Given the deliberate hounding of his collaborator/friend to backstab him was entirely down to the politics/faith question that IS the more pressing criticism.
>basic ass christian (that doesn’t believe in the christian God, but instead believes in three different deities and doesn’t believe Christ is God)
retard
Nah the Mormons have some degree of trinitarianism just a slightly broken version of it.
It's the Satan as Jesus's brother bit that they're really goofy on.
In this case I'm saying "Basic Christian" because the particular beliefs that caused the REEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeing were the ones common with actual standard denominations.
>At least Shad has some actual medical issues fucking him up.
Medical issues he himself caused for choosing to be a fat fuck lmao
I heard something about a malformed something but yeah for a long time he let that spiral into something worse by using it as an excuse to be fat.
And mental issues when he put out a video literally crying over the state of men's lives.. while trying to brag how he had a family and kids. Came across as a pathetic loser.
He could've been independantly wealthy all his life if he wasn't a sucker.
Probably not that strange, really. Maybe a little.
I play as a human paladin who always attempts to do the most good, but he is a young man in a foreign location, and so he often comes off as a little bit pompous or overly charitable.
The rest of the party is:
A chaotic human fighter trying to become a thief to become a bard.
A chaotic half-orc thief.
A chaotic half-elf fighter-thief.
And a chaotic human magic user.
Previous we had a gnome thief but he dropped out.

Wait a second...
It gets funnier because:
1. Dude never read One Piece or knows much about it, he in fact didn't know it was about pirates, his little knowledge about it was mistankenly about Naruto
2. The character started as human barbarian pirate, died and got reincarnated, rolled in a table and got Vanara
oh so is double reference and without even trying
if you base you character off of a "goofy" mc in some manga its most likely going to also be a reference to the monkey king
Wait I thought Goku was the monkey king reference
>Dude never read One Piece or knows much about it, he in fact didn't know it was about pirates, his little knowledge about it was mistankenly about Naruto
The fact you know this to make a correction only confirms you're a gay.
the "monkey king" is a ubiquitious trope found through alot of eastern stories.
hes like the indo-asain version of king arthur.
I want to know more about the ratman gunslinger
He's the most "that guy" of the group because he goes actively against the GM's setting that character is the best example. He's not a bad guy at all but he pushes for concepts all the time.
The ratfolk in the GM's setting are a very new race discovered,
their culture is tribal and shamanistic with little technology beyond archaic forgin. That player wanted specifically to be a posh british like rifleman, very groomed, clean, knowledgeable and with proper clothing who has been traveling through the continents for a while.
Me on the left with the sandwich
used to watch shad as a teenager. I check in on him a couple days ago and he's ranting about the barbie movie hating men or something. Also a quick lookup and yesterday the bald guy on the far right of the picture apparently cut all ties with him over some political affiliations. I thought his content was about swords and castles lol
I haven't watched the Barbie movie, but I've heard only two (contradictory?) things about it
>It's a feminist movie that hates men
>Ken is literally me! I am Kenough!
It makes me want to watch it myself, given how many people so radically disagree about it.
>Ken is literally me! I am Kenough!
Beaten down male apologist third wave feminist men perhaps. You should at least watch this video so you'll have some frame of reference for when someone says that.
>It's a feminist movie that hates men
The Barbies care about them like you'd care about a stranger at the other end of a subway car. If that qualifies as hate, then that noun has official joined the list of ironic signifiers.
If you're old enough to get that joke.
It's a stupid retarded unfilm made by a fucking woman high on sniffing her own farts. It is nonsense.
But OTHER fart sniffers, high upon THEIR own supply think if you purposefully ignore ore how fucking awful and terrible it is its ACSHULLY the total opposite.
Simply by dint of the creators utter fucking vaginal incompetence at doing anything. Both sides are wrong. It's JUST fucking retarded shit. That's it.
>posting fake shit
>having a vagina
The Barbie movie is literally a Rorschach test. At the end of the film, what you see in it just reflects your view on gender politics.
>At the end of the film, what you see in it just reflects your view on gender politics.
It ended with a: "I have a vagina now" joke, for everybody's information.
>>It's a feminist movie that hates men
Ben shapiro following his nose for a basic critique of the movie
>>Ken is literally me! I am Kenough!
Ryan gosling plays a guy who has girl troubles. Lonely guys on the internet imprint onto him. News at 11.
Also the movie is incompetent at being feminist and accidentally exposes its retardation. If you squint hard enough you can make out a conservative message. The part of the right where fun is allowed took advantage of this half as a troll and half as an excuse to put forward the ideas. It was funny.
Shad has a side channel where he does political stuff, it’s literally just crying about woke movies and games. Very very cringe and gay bland shapirostein content but somehow that was enough to make Matt bend the knee, suck a bbc and cut ties. He doesn’t even mention politics slightly on his main channel as far as I’m aware.
matt is clearly ethnically gnomish, so thats no surprise

Aside from the fact that there's a lawful neutral, almost evil, imperial guy, not much, for DnD 3.5e standards anyhow.
There's the young but extremely knowledgeable and cocky bard, who may or may not unknowingly be more dragon than human.
There's the Gold Dragonborn honorable Knight.
There's the well meaning, usually nearly stoic, Barbarian Frenzied Berserker who's tortured by the mistakes he made, and continues to make, during his frenzy episodes.
There's the samurai guy whose whole personality is "while you were doing bitches, I was studying the blade".
There's the brainy Artificer/Technomage that's in it to get as much god metal as possible to create more and more of his gadgets.
There's the aforementioned lawful evil imperial Rogue guy, who's a high ranking official of said evil empire. Despite not giving a shit about others, and even enjoying their suffering to some extent, he's not a murderhobo, and he is fiercely loyal to our group.
Then there's my character, the warrior priest type that's on an official quest for the religion he's affiliated with. He ended up befriending the group and now even owes his life to them as they resurrected him, despite only having known him for a couple of weeks, after he got killed in their last dungeon dive.
All in all, a pretty cool group of dudes.
There was supposed to be a chick playing a Druid too, but she never showed up.
There's also a couple of old PCs that show up as NPCs from time to time.

Tell me more about the croc, please. I assume his ref is a Kroxigor? Most croc men usually look wrong because being built low to the ground with stubby legs is intrinsic to the look of the animal.
Afaik he's built a little like Leatherhead to a point, although his form is a result of a fey curse(to some extent all beast men in the setting are). He's a bit a snarky wise ass and is very highly fond of ambush tactics, as crocodiles do.
Oh, this is one of those threads where the subject isn't actually the subject because the image is some kind of gay signal for gays to flock to and discuss gays.

The guy in the Qui Gon stance looks like he'd be a beast in battle. I'm maining him and the wise bald guy next to him. Shad looks like that one easy character only new players pick.
Do I need to play the fat racist dude with the beard?

Pretty standard capeshit. But we are having a lot of fun.
Pretty strange, 3/5 freakshit. One is undead, one is a homebrew race that sort of fits with the setting, and another homebrew race that doesn't fit with the setting. I'm having a shitload of fun as a ~~*male human fighter*~~ with low INT and WIS who need to be told what to do by the other human player because we're playing remote and I zone out and play online poker when it isn't my turn
What class lindy is?
Thing that goes bump in his mum's attic at night.

I feel sorry for our DM.
Shad is fucking cringe but I respect him for making an actual working back scabbard.
moderately, I supposed
>PTSD and drugs-addled sailor/bloodborne man, accidentally driving the story by way of having personal beef with the character that ended up being part of the big bad evil guild. recently found out he's actually a revenant and not a survivor at all. dies when his archnemesis dies. which is probably soon
>thieving catgirl. I think that's it actually
>overzealous and deranged dwarf cleric that seems to be following either a very off-kilter interpretation of his god or another god entirely. hates fishmen so much
>android gun girl trying to round up her sisters. from a time before everyone was forced underground. apparently the phylactery of the guy who forced everyone underground
playing bloodborne man has convinced me to never play a serious type again, never play a revenge guy again, and never write a backstory again at all even if it was requested beyond "used to be an X, now he wants money so he's adventuring"
Did the DM just drop that shit on you for no reason?
The armchair critics ITT, I swear...
These are all fun and interesting to listen to in there own ways.
Shad's series on trying to figure out which combat tactics would work best for fantasy creatures or character was genuinely brilliant.
Lindybeige is fun and insightful. What are the stuff he got blatantly wrong, that you guys keep referring to?
I love that Jason also focuses on other stuff besides warfare, like food for different social classes.
>armchair critics
lol retard, you’re talking about a diabetic fatass and a 40kg old dweeb talking about premodern melee combat and whining about it not being realistic lmao
>Lindybeige is fun and insightful.
He played "medieval tennis" with early modern rules and gear instead of gloved palms.
But then again, he's a soft boi who probably cried until they let him sit on the sidelines whenever they played ball sports in school.
I fucking hate Shad. He's either a clickbaiting fuckstick retard youtube asshole or an unironic "fantasy media should be realistic"tard which is somehow even worse.
>Verisimilitude bad
Being an anal retard about it IS annoying.
Internal consistency is great. Insisting a fantasy world to closely resemble some real world historical period despite all the factors that differentiate it from the real world is not.
Ding
You should follow the rules you made when you created your fantasy world, if you start to ignore them and they just excuse it with "fantasy!" you suck
When telling a story you choose when details are relevant, there's a bunch of bullshit that is "historical accurate" but no one gives a shit about... like shit. But thinking that you can have things that drastically affect long distance travel while keeping immigration and commerce the same is silly.

2/4 completely normal, 2/4 acceptable levels of strange.
1 campaign is balls to the wall strange, just how the DM likes it, but there's so much OP homebrew bullshit that it should be in its own category.
I un-shooped it for you.
