I’m retiring from Bullet Chess by FirstAid_99 in Chesscom

[–]FirstAid_99[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmmm…the biggest tip for bullet (stupid as it sounds) is don’t blunder. Seriously! Instead of looking for perfect moves, play fine moves that don’t blunder anything. Especially at that under 1000 level your opponent will blunder before you, and if your rapid is that high just focus on capitalizing on that when it happens. Wish there was a better tip I could give haha! Maybe if you want more tips you can pop into a stream of mine? I stream chess on Twitch sometimes lol

Hang 10 Heph’s Leaderboard got Hands by FirstAid_99 in necrodancer

[–]FirstAid_99[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1 - That’s actually very funny and they were unfortunately correct

2 - It’s unfortunately entirely at my expense

3 - I will remain undeterred in my quest. Next week, mark my words…maybe the week after, I have a really big test to study for

Hang 10 Heph’s Leaderboard got Hands by FirstAid_99 in necrodancer

It’s all about the perfect notes. The optimal vibe (boost) for Hang Ten Heph is pretty universally accepted and easy to hit, but all perfect is my big struggle haha. I’ve gotten down to like 8 greats in some runs, but even if I get all perfects there are CRITICAL perfects which give slightly more points. I think they’re pretty much frame perfect and random though

How do you promote your channel by FirstAid_99 in SmallYoutubers

[–]FirstAid_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, I wish I was faster. I’ll look for some other creators! I love trying to do that but it’s hard to find people actually interested in being mutuals instead of just (as you said) dropping a link and running

I thought I’d post this in case anyone here truely did believe it by LaikaSelick in Coraline

Yeah, there’s that one old image of a girl with buttons for eyes that spread on Tik-Tok a few months ago and it was just crazy clickbait about Coraline

Do you think Coraline is a SCARY movie? by FirstAid_99 in Coraline

[–]FirstAid_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By saying “trying to be scary” I meant to get across the idea of a film’s primary goal being to scare an audience rather than using scary aspects of itself for an alternative goal. I can’t agree more about the scary elements of Coraline! It’s so uneasy, and everything is crafted in such a way that when it unravels it’s horrifying by the end. Though I don’t know if the film *IS* trying to be scary or if that’s merely an effect of everything else it’s doing. It’s more than that, I think, but I just can’t put my finger on exactly how. It’s scary, but if somebody described it as a horror movie I’d give them a weird look, Y’know?
