I’m also a fighter pilot. 

I burned out on superhero movies about 5 years ago, so I guess it lasted for me. I recommend it. 

I really noticed that in the big shootout at the end in the mansion. Like, I expected an over the top and violent end to the movie, but that shootout went on for so long I was checking my watch.

It is insulting, it's not dangerous.

Crossbows were overrated at Agincourt. 

No doubt. A head shot with a bow at 15 meters (45 feet!) would be quite a shot.

I don’t think the sword was standard issue for infantry in WW I. Even the bayonet, which was issued to every infantryman in every army in WW I and for which he received training, only accounted for something like 1% of all casualties. Something like 70% of all casualties were caused by artillery. 

That low training time in the end was decisive. You can train a man to fire a musket reasonably well in a few days, it took years to train an English archer how to effectively use a longbow. 

This was a fun read. My biggest gripe with fictional bow portrayals (games and otherwise) is how they seem so easy to draw. War bows in particular typically require substantial strength to draw back at all, much less to do so repeatedly and to fire them with accuracy. Yet for some reason it is the weapon of choice for…

What is the superior alternative to capitalism? People defend it because there are no better alternatives that have ever actually worked 

What system is more efficient than capitalism?

Nothing channels greed towards a productive end better than capitalism.

We're not in late stage capitalism, but 100 years from now someone will still be talking about how they're in late stage capitalism, and they'll be wrong too.

You could walk the walk and only buy games from non capitalist countries.

Who decides what needs to change and how?

Oh, pish posh. 

Nobody cares.

They aren't a charity.

Shhhhh

The same old thing being what, sexism? I honestly am not sure if that is the direction the author was going to explain why WMLS isn’t more successful.
