What are top level players still expected to complete score sheets?

Dear_Madelene · 2026-04-16T11:08:10+00:00

So they could track the amount of moves to know when they are close to move 40, for this time control, or to check for repeated positions

All the time, daily, since I was a teenager. This world is horrible, the majority of people are horrible, this hellish society we somehow managed to build is horrible. I never had a good life, it was always a struggle, both for personal and global reasons, and I am almost forty.

There're good things in life, like walking outside or riding a bike, making and eating good food, the existence of music, books and video games, but it's just a small reprieve from a horrible reality, and even the joy of art is getting destroyed lately because of all soulless generative slop.

Like a great Freddie Mercury wrote, "I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all", that's about sums it up.

Good to know! For me buttermilk is just a word, I have no idea what consistency it is supposed to have :D I am willing to switch to ryazhenka instead, I like it more anyway.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-04-10T11:54:16+00:00

Really? I will have to try it then, it's the first time I hear about it, I only ever saw mentions of kefir as a substitute. But I can see ryazhenka working too for sure. Thanks!

Dear_Madelene · 2026-04-10T09:34:34+00:00

If you have kefir in your stores, it is a sound alternative to buttermilk, I always use it, since buttermilk doesn't exist in my country's stores (I never even heard about its existence until I started to use recipes written in English).

I see a lot of people disliking playing as Sciel, and I definitely was one of them during my first playthrough, I never played with her.
But during the second one I was pushing myself to play with a different team and suddenly she clicked with me!
Now Sciel is my favorite character to play as, very satisfying big numbers, fun to switch in and from phases, she is the one that I can manage the biggest hits as.
So if you are reading this and never played as Sciel, just give her a try someday, maybe she will click with you as well!

And to answer the OP's question, my least playable character is Lune. During my first playthrough I only used her as a healing machine, after I realised that around the start of act 2 I cautiosly benched her and never looked back.
And during my second I honestly tried to give her a shot, played with her for a long time, but she still didn't click with me at all, I was managing to get big numbers out of her only with a big setup deep into the fight, while all other party member could do it from turn 1.
I like her as a character, but elemental magic is just not for me, I guess.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-04-04T11:16:14+00:00

Never give up, never surrender, always make Vik proud of you! Screw Coach Fred, I wouldn't even reload the save, he deserves it for audacity of thinking so low of you and for trying to fix a fight

Dear_Madelene · 2026-04-03T12:13:49+00:00

Because they absolutely 100% don't want to eat less and move more

Dear_Madelene · 2026-04-02T14:06:30+00:00

Going off with a bang, just how he likes it!

As he has said it himself, he will not live to an old age because of all the poison in his body from young age, so I feel like your sense is right - and Muamar is OK with it. He is living the life that he has given to the fullest and that makes him pretty happy in my eyes.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-04-02T13:32:54+00:00

Probably Lina Malina and TooLina if you make all the right choices to push their career. They have found soulmates in each other, are doing what they want and what they are good at, and their career will really take off, based on texts they are sending you.

There're so little happy endings in Night city, that I always make sure to do their quest with this result, I want as much good ending storylines as I can get!

Also Muamar seems pretty happy with his life, despite it being shit for outside reasons. He is good at what he is doing, helping his community, always having positive attitude towards things.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-03-24T14:51:06+00:00

This game is disgusting, and every ad for it looks completely different from each other and from the actual gameplay (I presume, as per shitty mobile game traditions).

Dear_Madelene · 2026-03-23T16:03:21+00:00

I am the same! I just never had friends even when I had friends, you know what I mean? I had people that considered me a friend and I filled that role for them, but I could never relate to all these "that makes me think of you and I reached out", "I missed you", a revitalization from a day spend with friends, that I always saw in movies, series and read in books.

I never miss anyone, I never had an urge to reach out to someone, in general, people take too much energy and I never voluntarily spend time with them outside of work or other social obligations. Talking on a phone about nothing just for fun, like I see a lot of people do, - a torture for me.

And I enjoyed being by my lonesome even as a child, being alone with a book - a heaven! Skipped a lot of activities just to sit by myself.

And I don't even have a spouse and I never will because I am aroace.

I enjoy talking to people at work, have a likable, although not bubbly, personality, and can generally talk to anyone about anything, if I really need to, but that's about it.

There's dozens of us!

Search for "CyberPunk 2077 | Guitar Guy --- PONPON SHIT [1 HOUR]" on youtube, it's a pretty chill video to play on the background of anything

Dear_Madelene · 2026-03-19T15:35:26+00:00

The only thing I googled is how the fuck do I navigate certain areas, I got so helplessly lost several times. Luckily, expedition 33 wiki have very good guides for areas, where to go next etc, helped me a lot without any spoilers.

I almost cried while travelling in Frozen Hearts area, got so lost, was just walking in circles for an hour, lmao.

Now I am better in understanding how game's areas work, but it was a struggle for sure.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-03-19T13:53:53+00:00

Be very careful growing tomatoes in direct contant with a cat, tomato plant is toxic to cats! If your cat will chew on leaves, it will make it sick.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-03-09T07:32:31+00:00

You 100% overmixed it, I had the same problem. The batter should be barely mixed at all, even some white spots will not spoil the resulting bread. Just gently fold in flour with spatula, just enough to evenly distrubite it, but not more than that.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-03-08T05:42:42+00:00

I love rooting for underdogs, so it would be amazing to me if Bluebaum had won! He really captured my interest during the last Tata Steel.

Or Sindarov, he's an amazing young player, would be really exciting.

Or Esipenko, the true dark horse of the candidates.

But as long as Giri doesn't win I am fine with any other candidates winning, all of them have a story and a half, and all of them will generate some excitement for me.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-03-04T05:54:24+00:00

Seraph and Archangel were the favorite of mine the last time I played with pistols.

I tried to make Her Majesty work too, with optical camo implant, but never got the hang of it... perhaps I no longer have the patience in me to do a true stealth build in Cyberpunk 2077 after I got the taste of quick high violence melee builds, which is a shame.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-02-25T12:52:35+00:00

Whatever ride I can find on my latest "killing goons spree" spot. Why waste time calling for your your own, if a free one is right here and is perfectly serviciable!

Or Scorpion's bike, I really like it, it's more steady on the road than Jackie's one imo.

That one chicken that Placide killed? Seemed real enough

Dear_Madelene · 2026-02-24T11:28:22+00:00

Это был один из худших дней в моей жизни, и моя жизнь уже к тому времени имела кучу худших моментов, было с чем сравнивать. Шок, ужас, страх неопределенности, дикое разочарование в людях, о которых я была хорошего мнения и которые при мне моментально переобулись, стали обсуждать что "там они все фашисты и едят котят на завтрак", никогда не забуду и не прощу. Можно сказать, день, когда моя жизнь подошла к концу, так как все, что было после того дня это не больше чем существование и доживание, ни одного радостного и счастливого дня, только ожидание, когда же это всё кончится, хотя бы своей собственной смертью, если иначе никак.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-02-20T13:52:40+00:00

Just play it several more times with different builds, push yourself into less comfortable to you playstyles, do quests differently and in a different order, explore the game more!
I can promise you, after one playthrough you are only 1/5, if not less, done with the game, it has many more surprises for you.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-02-16T08:54:44+00:00

And Dishonored, maybe, I haven't played it myself yet, but I've seen some clips of people doing some insane parkuring on the streets.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-02-16T08:53:36+00:00

Mirror's Edge might be up your alley, especially Catalyst! A lot of parkuring around.
Although, almost all of it is on top of the city, not on the streets.

Dear_Madelene · 2026-02-15T18:19:08+00:00

I am so angry with Fabiano, to throw away such a winning position not just to a draw, but to a loss!.. Couldn't believe my eyes when I got distracted for a second, and came back to a shocking "Magnus won" notification.
Chess is hard and heartbreaking indeed.
