Ah, damn. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll delete.

She’s adorable!

I’ve always heard that until you’re master/GM level, it’s better just to play it out. Your opponent might blunder too, or accidentally stalemate you. At the very least, it’s good practice playing at a disadvantage. I know I’ve blundered huge leads myself, so who knows what’s going to happen?

There’s a psychological thing where we always assume that our opponents in games will never mess up, which makes it feel easy to give up the moment you make a mistake.

This is great. I have a new daily game to play. Thanks for sharing!

Great advice, but I can’t find the m8 square. What should I do next?

Lol, there are just so many random variations of every opening that it’s virtually impossible to know them all. It’s sometimes helpful to see what an opening is called so that you can potentially look it up later, but 99% of the time I feel like Michael in the meme.

I swear I learn more about LOTR from comment sections under memes than anywhere else.

Also can’t forget gaming companies that have turned many modern games into Skinner-boxes.

Twitter reminds me of the worst parts of the old “wild west” internet now. There’s still some good content, but it’s hidden among scams, skeezy porn ads, and some of the worst opinions you’ve ever read.

I feel pretty immune to that kind of stuff, but it’s a huge culture shock after browsing moderated social media.

Far Side is timeless

It’s like reading a news article and seeing horribly constructed sentences and typos. Like, this is your main job! I know there are a lot of English majors out there who would love to find work.

Haha, you’re too kind. I’m just trying to do my part to help grow this place!

Originally saw this posted by The Picard Maneuver. I can’t figure out how to tag him on Voyager.

Don’t worry, I’m here too!

Also, I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but might as well say here too: Anything I post to Lemmy (including stuff I’ve made) is totally fair game to post/repost/share anywhere you’d like. I love seeing content spread around the fediverse.

I’ve noticed that some people do use other filters than “Hot” or they scroll back in smaller communities, because I’ll occasionally get comment replies to posts I made months ago. It’s cool to see.

Does the Active feed work this way?

You pass the perception check and spot the mimic.
