Red Dead Redemption II | ▶ dev. Rockstar Games
Hey so it's come to my attention that the Creators of Disco Elysium want you to share the game and not give the company who took over and fired them (illegally)?) any profits off of their ideas and work, and I originally joined tumblr 2 weeks ago when that post was going around about the Steam sale and how you should [Skull and Crossbones flag] it instead.
So.
in light of that.
Check the replies/notes of this post :)
I was informed that posts containing links in them aren't findable in the search so i'll just.... drop a link in a seperate reboot :)
first things first though, copy this key:
q4-EJ9G2DV7MYYI-Vs0KdQ
here's the edited version with the captal YY in the key above!
and also the Google drive link :
fyi if you own the game you can literally just copy the game folder from the directory and it will work, even on the steam version theres no drm, put it on a flash drive and distribute it in person or send it to someone
@petermorwood For your collection of fab, but not easy to use weapons
Backing music is Edith Piaf singing “La Vie en Rose” - very apt. :->
This one’s not easy to use simply because it’s so big. Trimming everything down by making the head actual rose-sized, and mounting it on a hollow not solid haft, would result in quite an effective and strikingly (ouch) pretty weapon.
Since the head would no longer be as massive, realistic-looking petals would need compressed into the more compact, sturdy shape suitable for something meant for thumping things - like, for instance, these…

Maces with flanged heads were fairly common, and the Indian “shishpar” was sometimes even made with with spiral flanges.
I don’t know this one’s exact weight but if it has the usual hollow metal haft then it’s probably about 1 kg / 2.2 lbs or a little (not much) more.
Look at how thin the flanges are compared to the “La Bonk” petals (unusually thin, indeed possibly sharp-edged, though their spiral curve adds strength); between that and the khanda broadsword hilt, I’m betting it’s well-balanced and manoeuverable.
Yet if some Maratha or Rajput warrior had asked the weaponsmith who made it to make one shaped like a rose, the reply would probably have been “Certainly, sahib, would you like a guhlab rose, a paneer rose, a damask rose or a musk rose, and would you like the petal edges sharp or blunt?”

Here are a few more Indian maces, and here’s another reason why Indian warriors liked hollow hafts - it not only saved weight, it made room for a little extra whether the weapon was a tabar (axe):
…zaghnal (”war-pick”)…
…or bhuj (”hatchet-knife”)
Those daggers seem so common that I’ve started think they weren’t actually a “hidden surprise”, more an accepted way to carry an additional backup weapon. Oddly enough Indian maces seem to be the only hafted weapon which didn’t have them - at least I couldn’t find a pic of one - though there were any amount of maces with sword-hilts.
However maces from other countries did. This one is from Germany, ca. 1550; it weighs 1.2kg / 2.6 lbs…
…while this one is from Poland, ca. 1650s, weight
1.07 kg / 2.4 lbs.
A “Petite La Bonk” scaled down to match these (with or without dagger as optional extra) would be quite something.
And easy to use, too. :->
