Both of those weapons are just absolutely not fit for underwater fighting lol. Imagine tryna twirl a ball and chain lol

Spear supremacy just like always?

[–] Rednax@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Considering that even a swordfish uses a spear, I do think so, yes.

Nah, you see, whoever gets the ball and chain becomes the next Pope.

Wow, the quality of those "drawings" is amazing. I'm guessing these don't get published five times a week.
