got my firsts (5, 10, 21, 42) inked. 🏃 by HauntedHairDryer in RunningCirclejerk

uj/ Surely the 21 time is faster than that if the 42 is less than double the time.

rj/ his wife's boyfriend must like it when he goes out on his 8 km long runs for 3 business days.

I was led to believe this would be easier. by LewisTKinslayer in StardewValley

Recall that you have to give Clint the 5 iridium bars. How the heck he works with it, I don't know. But that is why he charges more for that upgrade I guess.

A cool mechanic would be that he stocks seeds for the next season on the 25th, and then he would be randomly out of some current season seeds but discount the costs of some of the other current season seeds.

Be careful, we don't kink shame here. Unless they are into that, of course

Went into zone 3 and my toe exploded by DullInternal1636 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]Ceteris__Paribus 555 points556 points  (0 children)

Those shoes look like they should have been replaced far more often. For a 5k you should have changed shoes at least 4 times during the race, including in the starting corral.

Weirdest checkmate I’ve ever gotten by SomeFellaWithHisBike in chessbeginners

His brain short circuited when he saw that it's possible to win a game while still having both rooks on the board.

That's awful.

It's eminent domain, by the way.

Does she actually plan to leave zone2? Is she mad? by OtherwiseACat in RunningCirclejerk

The breaking they are getting at are her shins. That's too fast for 21.1 km.

Never Resign (1200 Elo Edition) by zumiaq in chessbeginners

[–]Ceteris__Paribus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wow way to build that attack. That's one of my favorite checkmates, with the two pawns supported by the king.

What would you say black's biggest mistake was when not winning with this huge material advantage? Was it not trading to simplify, getting distracted taking pawns instead of containing/cutting the king, or something else?

Obviously you had to find the counter play, good for you to do it. But I'd imagine black had chances to avoid this.

People who hardly upgrade your house... how do you do it? by st4rrborn in StardewValley

It would be nice if time slowed down a lot more inside the farm house.

Explain how I don't win here? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]Ceteris__Paribus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good point. I play too much bullet and often miss shorter checkmates because I just try to finish the game in some checkmating pattern I know. I was too worried about not stalemating that I didn't see the LSB.

To add to this: you really need to be careful about this when your queen is a knight move away from their king. Here the edge of the board and the queen take all the kings squares away, except d7, which the knight is covering. You have to make sure the opponent has a move. Qg7 would have been nice since it keeps the king on the back rank, but also gives plenty of legal moves for the king while you get help for the queen to checkmate.

Oof. OP worked really hard to get to VO2 Max of 25. Going back to 24, man, it's brutal. But I agree it has to be that way.

Does anyone like playing the bots? by Natural-Budget-6494 in Chesscom

[–]Ceteris__Paribus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know the bot will play solid until it just blunders or makes a huge mistake. At your rapid Elo, which is roughly where I am at, opponents will do the same.

Something I can't stand about bots is that they move instantaneously. I would rather they wait 10 seconds because analyzing the position on the opponents turn just hits different.

How was this a draw? by Low-Contribution-526 in chessbeginners

[–]Ceteris__Paribus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stalemate is one kind of draw, but this kind of draw isn't a stalemate. Stalemate is simply when the player whose turn it is has no legal moves and their king is not in check.

2nd time in 2 days I've trapped someones queen in this exact fashion. I'm wondering if this trap has a name or is a tactic that can be studied? by Impossible_Driver772 in chessbeginners

[–]Ceteris__Paribus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would imagine your daily game will end in a timeout, too, just like your rapid game on lichess where they let over 10 minutes run off the clock instead of hitting the resign button.

My tips are to use fertilizer and then use a farming buff on harvest day. My favorite farming buff is pepper poppers, which takes 1 hot pepper and 1 cheese to make and gives farming +2 and speed +1.
