The sword of the day is the charay.
The charay, also known as the Khyber knife, is a short sword originating from the Khyber pass in Pakistan, though similar blades can be found throughout India and Persia. Despite its simple silhouette, it is a deceptively complex sword. The spine of the blade is raised, giving the blade a T-shaped cross section that lends it a tremendous amount of rigidity and strength despite its relatively thin blade.

A reminder that the clothing of the Middle Ages was less brown (and the people were more brown) than often depicted.

Do you know what RSS means? I've seen that a lot webcomics have a RSS page but I've been never quite sure what it does.
Yeah! RSS stands for "really simple syndication" and it's a way to subscribe to webpages on your own all in one place instead of using social media accounts, it's super useful for keeping up with independent websites (which is why so many webcomics encourage using it) and social media posts on sites you don't use yourself. It seems a bit intimidating at first but it's really handy because you can completely customize your feed, and keep up with exactly the content you want without having to follow all your favorite creators across six different social medias whose algorithms hide their updates anyway. I'm a huge fan of the concept myself but I'm a fucking barbarian and still just have an enormous list of bookmarks I check manually whenever I think of it, BUT my Cool Blog Pal @unpretty talks about it fairly frequently and knows much more about how it works than I do! She has a very long and detailed post about it over here you can look into when you get a minute. https://unpretty.space/post/181035050748/hey-a-friend-of-mine-is-curious-about-rss-and-the
i am doing my part to keep rss alive and i will spread the word whenever anyone gives me an excuse
i used to say "imagine you got website updates the way you get podcasts" but then i learned that a large percentage of people listen to podcasts by searching for them on spotify when they see on twitter that there is a new episode. that's horrifying, by the way. use a podcast app or add it to your rss reader. learn to love yourselves.
anyway.
these days i have reverted back to my sales pitch of "a tumblr dash for the entire rest of the internet". when someone posts something (a news article, a blog post, a comic) it shows up in your rss reader and is generally super convenient. i generally rec feedly.com as the most newbie friendly, but personally i use inoreader. it has the google-reader-esque power user layout i crave. also while feedly is pretty it feels a bit too corporate for me.
the tl;dr of the post linked above is:
- make an account on feedly or inoreader (this can be done in a browser or an app if you're on mobile) (it's very easy to switch to a different one if you decide you like it better)
- add the comics you like that have rss feeds (or blogs, or webnovels, or etc etc)
- now when they update they will show up as unread in your... inbox? it's not really an inbox. anyway.
- never manually check to see if something has updated ever again
oh, right, other things i remembered that are webcomic relevant
if you would ALSO like to combine the power of rss with the power of... webcomic backlogs? comic-rocket.com has an archive binge feature you may find VERY interesting
see, you can look up the comic on Comic Rocket, and off to the side there is a little button to generate a custom rss feed
it will create the rss feed instantly when you click it
by default, it will create a feed that updates once per day starting with the first comic, but you can do up to ten per day and even customize which days it updates
whatever custom feed you create doesn't actually pull any images through, which is done deliberately as a courtesy to the comic's original owner. so you'll still have to click through to actually read the update. it is nonetheless extremely convenient. i got so far behind on girl genius i recently decided to just start rereading the whole fucking thing from the start so here is what a custom rss feed ends up looking like in inoreader:
i have different folders for webcomics that need to be opened in a new tab to view (a lot of comics work that way) and webcomics that i can read right in my rss reader. here's one that's inline, for comparison:
