    Sorry, I can't made medieval crossbows. Only expressionist or post-modern crossbows.

    I'm trying to finish Wind Waker HD first. I have a launch Switch and only 45 minutes into BOTW.

    But WW is so boring at this point.

    This is why Twitter eventually created easier tweet-chains to follow. When someone replies to themself and continue to respond in that fashion, when you click to read the tweet all of their responses will be lined up orderly after it.

    So damn much of Twitter's functionality was created by the actual users and then formally implemented by Twitter.

    At-mentions, retweets, all by users.
    The people operating Twitter don't know what they doing. They've added so many stupid nuances, and often in the name of "safety." Meanwhile they don't actually get rid of white supremacists calling for murder and such.

    This past month they rolled out a new "safety" feature that put a soft-lock on your Twitter account. It was supposed to be an anti-harassment tool. I accidentally helped discover what triggers it; George Carlin's seven naughty words. If you use them at any verified account that has the safety feature on, you're punished. So yes, saying "shit" at the Vice President's official account under any context will get you soft-banned on Twitter.

    I want a list of chatters with a switch but it's not really pressing til something multiplayer happens, or at least we get friends lists.

    for me that'll be mk8 most likely but idk how many people actually plan to play that.

    right now, the switch multiplayer setup is a total shitshow anyways.

    We might be better off using discord or slack to organize broadly, and then use their system on a per-game basis to line stuff up. Considering all features are in a phone app anyways, may as well use a better phone app for communication.

    By like the second time of you intentionally doing it. So faster than asking a vegan about meat products, but slower than a Bernie voter complaining the dems screwed him.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    @amateurhour check out Todd's stuff. He makes authentic replicas of crossbows (sorry, no lasers) and has good vids on how they are used and were made.

    eg:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoGI6tRt6ho

    note that he made that bow and it's components

    Once I decided not to make a .32 caliber squirrel rifle with the cedar stock I had cut out I was all "well what can I do with a gun stock sized piece of cedar?"

    OH I KNOW I CAN MAKE A CROSSBOW SINCE WE'RE GETTING A FORGE!

    So I already called pull-a-part and a leaf spring is gonna run me like $30 and I've got the scrap metal for the rest of the parts.

    Will THIS be the thing that finally kills me?

    I'm pretty sure I've noticed that, I've had two random shitstains swearing at me to give them my username and their tweets suddenly vanished. I only saw it because my client caches mentions.

    I knew I was leaving someone out. He made a good one for Skallagrim.

    His stiff is REALLY nice but also very expensive.
