I literally joined the forums with the main purpose of sharing this abomination

One of these suggestions may have hit the mark. It’s just that we have no way of knowing unless the OP makes a comeback.

Then again, this is one case I’d be hesitant to see closed. Whatever the original post was intended to be, what we got is probably better.

Or at least more abominable, in so many different ways.

For the “Mall Ninja” in all of us. Release your inner weeb!

During the last recession, we lost a lot of mall shops. I think the “specialty cutlery” shop right next to the food court was replaced in 2010 by another vendor after being empty for about a year. A Cut Above had countless street knives, first-responder knives, sold some pretty convincing katanas, several semi-authentic Kabars, a British Marine sword and several Philippine war daggers, like big round-bladed machetes. It was right across from the GameStop, I would go there and have them sharpen my Schrade while I went to the department store.

Now it’s a travel agency. That’s the abomination.

A travel agency that stays in business with the ease of internet shopping is just a front for something else…

I got my first Hibben in shops like that…and my first Butterfly knife. That was like sooo long ago…back when I could pick up a pack of Djarum’s right next door.

@Barnes I’m imagining the knife shop guy whenever you left with your newly sharpened blade. “I really thought he was gonna buy a couple of katanas this time…”

I liked to ask him, completely straight-faced, if he could get me a six-pack of handcuff keys, a fake mustache and the baker’s dozen of shuriken from under the counter.

Later on when he saw me doing mall interviews for the news channel, he thought he’d been long-term punked. Ah the abominations of a small desert town.

Mario
Name’s Mario.
I like to jump high, bop turtles with my plunger-mace, and explore sewers.
Sometimes I converse with mushrooms… don’t ask.

Oh hey I’ve played CE almost twice as long as Lettuce Liz was PM! If that isn’t abominable I don’t know what is (and yeah I know some of you guys have 2-3-10x that time played).

Barachan Reiver Slouch Hat (dyes: Blood Red, Blood Red, Blood Red, White)
Inn-Keepers Vestments (dyes: True Blue, Blood Red, Blood Red)
Shemite Gloves (dyes: White, White, White)
Relic Hunter Trousers (dyes: True Blue, True Blue)
Zingaran Freebooter Boots (dyes: True Blue, Brown, True Blue)

That mustache can only be acquired using the Orb of Nergal after character creation (and I think needs the Isle of Siptah - not sure).

British politics have been an abomination since… well, probably 1066. But those numbers sure put Liz’s record in a perspective.

I’m a video game omnivore. Conan Exiles is the only game where I beat Liz’s “hours played” in the Prime Minister LARP. Total hours played in all games probably exceeds Boris Johnson’s hours played as PM. Probably not Maggie Thatcher’s, though.

Heh. I did wonder if it’d be considered political (something I generally refrain from outside venues where that’s explicitly the point). But I figured it’s a special enough kinda situation that nobody would get too hung up on it. Anywhoooo…

I think for me it’s CE, Mount and Blade, WoW and maybe Baldur’s Gate that break the 1k hours mark. Unfortunately only CE can be reliably counted as it’s the only one of those I’ve played exclusively on Steam.

Yep, but for me that is dota 2 :laughing:

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:

Enjoy this cursed crossover… (nevermind it isn’t allowing me to share the image because I am too new…)

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

I don’t know what I read! But it seemed nice, far for abomination!

@Community (sorry for disturbing) can you allow the fellow exile to upload his photo?
Thank you.
