Basket hilts, something I cannot get enough of :)
Another review of mine:

I could totally have tanked that...

Two fencers engaged with cup-hilted rapiers. The right player mussed the other, the left player stabbing the right on the throat guard, bending the blade. A solid touch.

Another thing I did. An unboxing of a sword.

I keep forgetting to post our videos here, or anything at all really. So here goes. Some impressions from our last open hall.
Basically just some people fencing various things :)

Something more DIY. I recently got a hold of some Armour Class HEMA basket hilt swords, which had no liners. Since historical basket hilts often had one, I went looking for a pattern to make liners myself, but could not really find anything, much to my surprise.
So I decided to make one. Link to the (very simple) pattern in the description of the video.

Not gonna lie, I had to look up "Occiput", and I still feel like I probably got it wrong:

Me in front of a wall of swords, holding up a protector for the back of the head for HEMA fencing.

A picture from last Saturday, that I rather liked.
It was taken by a clubmate, during a little bout between Jacqueline and me.

Jacqueline and me fencing smallsword. Jacqueline just about retreating from her lunge, me just at the end of my slip.

Time for another video. This time I am musing a bit about the differences of sharps and swords made for fencing, using two swords made by my friend Ádám Bodorics as an example.

Title: Comparing Ruggers.
Trainer vs. Sharp

Picture: Me standing in front of my sword-wall, holding up two swords, Ruggers. One is sharp, the other is made for fencing.

My partner gifted me a shirt. I love it:

Selfie of me wearing a pink shirt, with some kittens on it. Text on the shirt reads "Katzies statt Nazis". Roughly translates to "Kittens/cats in place of Nazis"

After the whole #recall shebang, I decided to finally leave #Windows for good. So I'm currently checking out #LinuxMint - and I am very much in love.

Biggest fear: Whether #Gaming was possible for a noob. Until I installed the #steam client and found out that all my current obsessions run on #Linux - including #BaldursGate3. ❤️

As utter noob willing to learn, I suspect the #fediverse is one of the best places to be.

Boosts, tips, and peeps to follow are very much appreciated.
@pcj_frank

Linux mint is pretty promising as a low effort daily driver right now. Getting it to run from an external ssd was a bit of a slog, because for some reason it just was not as straight forward as the tutorials made it out to be (Had problems with the bootloader for some reason).
But it seems to work now, and it can do pretty much everything I do in my day-to-day and the steam library is surprisingly compatible. Not everything is there natively, sure, but way more than I would have thought.

Peter Frank boosted:

Bleppy weekend, y'all.

#cats #fedicats #catsofmastodon #blep

A square close-up portrait of a long haired cat. Her wild-coloured fur looks somewhat ruffled, and she gazes directly at the camera. Her gaze and facial expression are somewhat fierce, and her right ear is crumpled like a boxer's.
The dignified battle cat look is absolutely ruined by a huge pink blep, though.

Peter Frank boosted:

„Wählerbeschimpfung hilft auch nicht weiter!“
„Mir schon.“

So we did a thing at the Knife 2024 in Solingen:

Why can't I hold all these gloves‽

Me, trying, and failing, to hold all the fencing gloves I own.

It is important to address manoeuvrability when reviewing fencing clothing.

#Hema #fencing #historicalfencing #historicaleuropeanmartialarts

Me, in front of the camera talking about pants, with a smaller picture of me approximating a pole dancing pose.

Me fencing: "Oh hey nice thrust, you got me good there" "Ha! Nearly got you" "Oh so close" "So what I think happened here is..."

Me cutting fencing material: "Jesus Christ does that guy (me) ever just shut up and actually FENCE?!?"

Was passiert, wenn man eine KI mit dem Gesamtwerk Rudolf Steiners (Waldorfschule, Weleda, Demeter) füttert?

Der öffentliche Chatbot der Waldorfschule Potsdam reproduziert den Rassismus des Waldorfschulen-Gründers. Er verharmlost Adolf Hitler und relativiert den Holocaust.

First time I ever did a review of a shar, a custom Messer based on a print by Albrecht Dürer.
