Untrue. He said that TK don't work like in movies.

Untrue. He said scythes are terribly unfit for fighting.

Not on the inside of buildings, no.

They didn't.

Untrue.

Honestly, he kind of shits out of the vase when trying to understand religion and mythology, being the atheist faggot that he is.
Extremely narrow-minded and a sucker of anything british like lolimperial and this barbaric language that we are forced to write in because Kali Yuga is still far from ending.

Sauce on the rest since I can't remember enough of them.

>>no one spoke French during the French revolution
haven't seen this video but I'm assuming he means that the Parisian dialect wasn't widespread until nationalist education reforms following the revolution, which is absolutely true.

that is fucking bullshit. people spoke the langue d'oil everywhere, even when regional dialects still existed. That is French, just like French colonists that ended up in Quebec spoke French as well. People spoke French during the French revolution, end of story.

Based Lindyposter.

Yeah, outside, if there was any. Any sane person back then would just carry a lantern with them if they were indoors at night instead of wasting loads of money and manpower constantly swapping out torches all night. Not to mention burning pitch is the last thing you want in a home.

in other news, fiction is fiction and doesn't need to be realistic. Go die.

Basically this.
Some weak faggot that's never been in a fight in his life and has the benefit of hindsight and the entire inventory of replicas goes on to say, "Well, this certainly isn't my cup of tea so it didn't exist."
It's basically crazy.

>Poster is an armchair historian.

>>game has bows that require DEX instead of STR
I wish there were more games that used multiple stats for singular pieces of equipment. Two examples:

Bow:
>STR determines bow range and damage, the stronger you are the further you can draw the bowstring.
>INT determines accuracy and crit chance, you need to actively manage a number of factors in the environment to predict where the arrow will land
>DEX determines reload rate, simulating better coordination and quicker hand movement

Melee:
>STR determines damage, the stronger you are the harder you hit
>DEX determines accuracy, handling the weapon requires coordination
>WIS determines crit chance, knowing what parts of the body to aim for

It would be more interesting to use a combination of stats to customize how a weapon will behave. A melee character that focuses on DEX and WIS will have lower base damage but higher crit chances; focus on STR and WIS to hit like a truck at the cost of lower accuracy; focus on STR and DEX for better base damage and accuracy with less chance to crit.

What the fuck are you babbling about

This shit is autistic because it just devolves into some shitty min-max scenario that is only deep at a glance.

>armchair historian.
there's no other type
its not like you can say yeah im 1000 years old, I actually remember how it happened

>>INT determines accuracy and crit chance, you need to actively manage a number of factors in the environment to predict where the arrow will land
thats retarded
intelligence doesnt play into using a bow or anything physical really

Lindy is a faggot that's never been in a fight speaking of the authenticity of historically accepted material based on anecdotes. It's absolutely retarded.

show me your degree or fuck off.

>Guns go PTCHOO

I didn't realize how big of a meme dual wielding was until I played trickster VR and could no longer stand there with a metal shield and laugh at archers

No, there's actual historians who know their shit
and armchair historians, who have read some books by historians then made the rest up

lindy has a degree, he still says retarded shit all the time

Are you retarded or just pretending to be retarded for replies?

so the only difference is whether you make shit up or not

you're extremely retarded if you think intelligence plays a role in the use of a weapon, especially aiming a bow

It's not like you're doing math in your head, or do you think pro baseball and football players are geniuses

>"game"
here is your answer

>The only difference between a fraud and a professional is whether they're right

Goddamn dude you should write your own books

>youtube guy has unearned sense of authority

making shit up has nothing to do with being "right", you could read something in a book that's wrong or postulate something that's right
all you're doing is relying on the testimony of others after all

>Pikemen didn't fight each other
>They didn't.
But they did.

Yeah man it's so easy to be good at "anything physical", there isn't much to it just run faster lmao

instead of a leveling system that gives you points to alocate just add activities on the game the player does during the day

>there isn't much to it just run faster
thats unironically true
do you think athletes are intelligent?
it's fucking hard work, physically, not for your intelligence

>getting better at running is the same as getting smarter
nigger are you for real

Yeah man historians just picked up a book and figured out that Caesar was Roman. Nothing to it, that's why they don't even need PhDs, you just need to know how to read.

t. 400 lbs ameriburger

Correct, unless you're telling me Usain Bolt is going through high-level kinaesthetics on the track. That's the coach's job, the athlete is the muscle-memory machine.

>you just need to know how to read.
correct

I think it would open up more options for character builds than standard methods. Not every melee user just maxes out STR, not every ranged user just maxes out DEX, etc. And it would be further balanced with how different armors and other equipment would interact with the stats you choose. Multi-classing would be more accessible and have higher potential as well because, for example, trying to be a wizard and a fighter wouldn't have the problem of their main stats just being exclusive from each other and spreading your stats thin, there would be more ways to capitalize on the class combinations.

When aiming an arrow you have to take into account how it drops/arcs, how the wind is blowing, how you're leading your target... These are INT-related mental calculations so it makes sense for INT to affect accuracy.

so what IQ do you need to to be an Olympic swimmer

wait, he has done a video on the falklands?
ohno

>Game has fire arrows
>Game has horse archers

yeah go read some books about throwing a ball and let's see how good it makes you

>When aiming an arrow you have to take into account how it drops/arcs, how the wind is blowing, how you're leading your target... These are INT-related mental calculations
No they aren't. You don't calculate, you judge based on skill. Are you fucking stupid?

>When you're throwing a baseball, you have to calculate it's trajectory in your head.
Monkey-brain instinct and lots of practice isn't intelligence.

>he doesn't do physics calculations every time he goes to throw something

>game has cowtits

>You don't calculate, you judge based on skill.
Calculation is more than just long division, user. You're still figuring that shit out in your head, based on your knowledge of how various elements and systems interact with each other. A lot of it is learned through experience, but it still requires thought and intelligence to quickly call up these things in your head to aim properly. Someone who is less smart will take more time to aim because they won't think through the situation fast enough.

Its like this guy has never moved his physical body and assumed he knows how the world works from watching mr robot

god i fucking love lindyposting

do you honest to god think the top athletes are dumb? They won the physical genetic lottery so they SURELY have to be stupid? Fucking imbecile.

>Calculation is more than just long division, user. You're still figuring that shit out in your head, based on your knowledge of how various elements and systems interact with each other.
Jesus christ you are fucking dumb
You don't "figure anything out", it is 100% skill and instinct, you aren't combining system knowledge, you aren't even conciously thinking, firing a bow is not engineering, firing a gun is not engineering, the only time you do actual calculations is when firing artillery

>You don't need manual dexterity to aim a bow

>user says you don't necessarily have to be smart to play sports, in contrast to what the original user claimed.
>You respond with this.

>do you honest to god think the top athletes are dumb?
Generally speaking, yes, they're around average intelligence

that's a pretty cool idea actually

Just because a lot of it comes down to intuition from experience doesn't mean it requires zero thought or intelligence.

>fantasy bad, realism good

Attached: 350px-Demoman_taunt_laugh.png (350x352, 125K)

It does actually. Acting on instinct and experience has nothing to do with intelligence

Just because a few basic facts are involved (such as knowing you need to aim in front of a moving object) does not mean that additional intelligence will make you better at it in any way.

>Acting on instinct and experience has nothing to do with intelligence
You would have a point if we were talking about pure muscle memory, but we're talking about dynamic situations with changing variables.

Additional intelligence will certainly help. Intelligence means being able to think more quickly, learn more quickly, adapt more quickly. There are a lot of things you can brute force with muscle memory and no thought but will do much better in a greater variety of situations with more intelligence.

>we're talking about dynamic situations with changing variables.
the variables are hitting a moving target
that's it
it's something animals do
you're stretching this really far to try and prove something that isn't true

>it's something animals do
Is the implication here that animals don't have differing degrees of intelligence? Because that's not true, and smarter animals are better at the things they do.

The implication is that animals are really fucking stupid compared to humans but they develop physical skills through repetition like humans do, so being smart doesnt have much to do with it

atleast he knows that the spear is the thinking man's weapon of choice.

>the variables are hitting a moving target
>that's it
You're simplifying that a whole lot. In addition to knowing how gravity and wind will affect the projectile, you have to analyze how fast the target is moving and know how fast your projectile will get to where they are as well as predict you're target's possible changes in speed or direction. Again, is it possible to just acquire muscle memory to instinctively react to specific situations you have experience with? Yes, of course. Are more intelligent people capable of adapting to dynamic situations and applying past experience to situations that aren't exactly like the ones they've been in before? Yes! I don't get how you can disagree with this.

You're overcomplicating it
Everything you're talking about is just down to pure skill, its not analysis

your ad-hom in literally every post you have made makes me side with the other guy because you sound like an elitist moron

reminder that this copypasta:

>is dishonest at best and outright false in some cases

Which is why a quarterback only makes fifty million a season, it's so goddamned easy to throw a ball. There are no other factors, just toss it far. There isn't mountains of physical science to read to train better, you don't need to read the defensive line to anticipate their play, which play to make yourself, nothing. A gorilla would be the best quarterback since they could just toss it four hundred yards

>guy say something obviously true but was mean about it so you decide he's wrong
neck yourself

>actual historians

Delusional, most """actual""" historians are about as credible and biased as amateurs. The only difference is that peer-reviews call them out for it.

>>imperial system is better
Of all of that bullshit this is the one that gets me because I can picture burgers and chipschops reasserting it

>game has *anything*
>"WAAAAAAHA MY NO LEIK IM A PRETENTIOUS FUCKING FAGGOT:

calling someone a retard for saying something retarded doesnt make me elitist
but believing something retarded because you dont like me certainly makes you retarded

No, it's not easy, it's difficult to be a top athlete, it just doesn't involve any intelligence

Lol

Uh, I don't know if you are joking user. Not that other guy.
But while there are some sports that don't require much intelligence, I can tell you from experience that baseball and tennis require some pretty quick thinking simply by where and when you hit the ball with your bat/racket.
