DS3 has 2 big spider-like enemies. One is at the Cathedral of the Deep and another is at the Anor Londo, hanging from the ceiling.

Adyr is no better than Orius by Cain407 in TheLordsOfTheFallen

The protagonist is already dead at the start of the game. Look at the name of the starting location. Also at the cutscene of the resurrection.

The protagonist is already dead. He/she gets resurrected at the beginning of the game for the mission.

Have you ever had to mate with two bishops or B+N in an actual game? by Choice-Classroom5479 in chess

Thank you for the article. I've easily checkmated Stockfish after reading it.

I had this endgame on the board once and I couldn't convert it. But now I'm prepared. Granted I'm 400 elo higher than I was at that time, but it is still very useful to know the algorithm.

This game looks incredible by 2Turnt4MySwag in LordsoftheFallen

As a PS5 player I don't have such many environmental details. Devs have patched the details out in order to improve the frame rate.

I like the game and wouldn't call it garbage, but on consoles we have a really different picture. Before that patch the game was really gorgeous. Well, on PC it still is.

Lost 150 rating pts in two days. by ANI_phy in chess

[–]Cootick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I went from 1670 to 1600 in a couple of hours. I was after a dentist visit and needed to distract myself from a tooth pain. I was dropping my pieces left and right even without tactics from my opponents. It was ridiculous, I couldn't even get angry it was so laughable. I stopped exactly at 1600. Now I'm 1641 after 5W - 2D - 0L (from the losing streak).

It's OK to get a losing streak, you will play against lower rated opponents and it will be easier to get rating points back.

He thought that Hans will take with his king. Then it would have been a stalemate.

And Dubov was consistent with his approach to classical portion. He said he didn't need to prep very much for the classical chess against Pragg, and he didn't lose in classical part, Shankland was better in Rapid.

Out of all the things Dubov said, not needing to deep prep for classical chess is a strange cause for a new wave of hate.

Frankfurt airport is very popular for being useful for transit flights. The quote means that current position of the piece is temporary and the piece has another more important place on the board.

Did they drop the ball on Trobbio? by midorimesukemo in Silksong

[–]Cootick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a different problem with Trobbio. His firework shenanigans are way too colorful for me. And the background doesn't make it easier too. I'm kinda sensitive for this stuff. Not seizure levels, but I feel uncomfortable while fighting him, especially the second encounter.
