I do not trust you with your own life because you are good and kind and noble--I know you would not hesitate to sacrifice yourself to save me."

Please be mindful that i didn't draw any chainmail underneath, first bc im lazy, but every armor from XV century had some : over the gambeson, under the plate, fully or on located areas. They also used pants gambesons.

Also this is just one example, XVth had so much armor variations for any of the parts above

Here're some references i like to use :

-> The Evolution of Knightly Armour

-> Age of Craft

Thank you, I'm glad you agree! Truthfully I'm extremely bitter that no one ever taught me that exercise could feel good. They made me spend 12 years in school going to a class called "physical education" every day, but they never taught me a single useful thing about exercise.

They did humiliate and traumatize me though. Instead of teaching me how to use my body to my best benefit, they just taught other kids to laugh at me for all the things I couldn't do.

I hear this a lot. And my first question is always "What kinds of exercise have you tried and in what ways have you tried them?"

Have you tried strength training, but was it was very short rests and high intensity movements?

Have you tried cardio, but was it was all high intensity and focused on running?

Have you tried flexibility work, but it was all new age yoga jargon that didn't even make sense?

Have you tried strength training with long rests and isometric holds instead of reps? Have you tried cardio that was gentle? Have you tried cardio that was also a neuromuscular challenge that can be done in your own home like crawling? Have you tried physical therapy based stretches that are explained in clear terms? Have you tried rock climbing, gardening, martial arts, dance, swim or other movement based hobbies?

And that's just the tip of the ice berg. For every form of movement that exists, there are ways to modify it to your individual needs. That still doesn't mean you're going to like everything, but the one size fits no one and cookie cutter approaches to fitness that try to jam everybody into the same template often fail a lot of people.

If you read the link the company does of course say they’re replacing the existing forums with new ones, and I’m sure no one would say the old ones didn’t perhaps need a lil bit of a glow up, some tech debt fixing… but there’s a few key notes in there:

They are NOT carrying over any history, data messages etc. from the old forums

They are NOT archiving, retaining or in any way saving the existing forums in any way

They have NOT provided any reasoning past ‘as part of continued efforts to support developers’

As an offhand, moderate read, this sounds to me like a desire for some change in the forums but deciding nuking everything is less expensive than rebuilding and carrying over info.

If I’m cynical, and likely realistic? Probably to increase sales of their latest GameMaker software by making it inherently more difficult for someone getting the older software for cheap pushing it to its limits. The amount of institutional knowledge on those forums is absurd.

And even if it is a benign reason, it’s still terrible because what do you mean you’re doing this with no recourse or potential for change? You sell software that runs on community goodwill? In an era where people are pulling away to open source software?? Crazy.

There are yeeeaaars of answers, plugins, suggestion, community built up on those forums - I’ve used the em to learn and grow my own skillet!!! And soon it won’t exist.

At the very least, they gave a ‘heads up’ - the deletion occurs mid December, so archiving by the community is possible from now. It’s just absurd that it needs to happen in the first place.
