    Katana’s are weak on the flat side. They aren’t really meant to be used for parrying. In fact, most sword fights in Japan would be over after the first or second swing. It was commonplace to hold the grip of a katana but not draw it in such a way so that your enemy has trouble judging how long your katana is and what is a safe distance to be from you. Once your opponent is in range, draw it quickly and kill them in one blow, ideally.

    The act of killing your opponent in a single blow is called “nukitsuke” from “nukiuchi” meaning “to cut down an opponent” and “tsuke” meaning “to stop an opponent’s attack before it begins”.

    The Sekiro and popular media image of extended katana fights didn’t really happen, but if they did, there would almost certainly be some broken katanas.

    Capitalism and Communism are bad, there is a middle ground which is better than both and most of the western world uses it. Have a largely free market, but also have socially funded services that wouldn’t work under a free market system like healthcare.








  • I’m not super familiar with VLC but I asked a chatbot, does this help at all?

    1. Open your video with VLC.
    2. Navigate to the scene that you want to capture. You can use VLC’s frame-by-frame feature to access a specific frame in your video.
    3. Capture the screenshot by pressing Shift+S (Windows and Linux) or Command+Alt+S (Mac).
    4. Alternatively, from VLC’s menu bar, select Video > Take Snapshot.
    
    If you’d like to use advanced controls to capture the screenshot, then from VLC’s menu bar, select View > Advanced Controls to enable those controls. Then, in VLC’s bottom-left corner, click the camera icon to take a snapshot1.
    
    Your screenshot is now captured and saved in a folder on your computer. The default location for the screenshots is as follows:
    
    1. Windows: C:\\Users\\username\\Pictures
    2. Mac: Desktop/
    3. Linux: ~/Pictures
    
    If you’d like to change where VLC stores your screenshots, or you’d like to change the file format, then select Tools > Preferences from VLC’s menu bar. On the “Simple Preferences” window that opens, select the “Video” tab. To change the default screenshot directory, then in the “Video Snapshots” section, click “Browse” next to “Directory.” Then, choose the new folder that you want to set as the default for your screenshots. If you’d like to use a different image format (the default is PNG) for your snapshots, then click the “Format” drop-down menu and choose a new format. Your options include PNG, JPG, and TIFF. After you’ve made the changes, at the bottom of the “Simple Preferences” window, click “Save” to save your changes.
