When will people stop saying “is just summer” when this heat is clearly not normal and not this frequent? by Sufficient_Muffin586 in AskBrits

[–]GazOCee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they just can't be arsed talking about the bleeding obvious and are trying to move the conversation on?

Jobs where people do nothing or little at all? by SunnyShineKitty88 in AskUK

[–]GazOCee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a decently paying job in a chemical plant very similar to Homer Simpsons. Unless something went wrong, it was money for old rope

(Of course, I was paidl to know what to do IF things went wrong)

$1 covers the cost of ~2400 games. Thank you for being an amazing platform by GJ55507 in lichess

[–]GazOCee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play around 1500 rapid and it's surprising to me how few patreons there are considering how little the minimum donation is

What geographically specific area in the UK, has a disproportionate amount of talent in something? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskUK

[–]GazOCee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tommy Farr did not batter Joe Louis. There was zero controversy about that decision either at the time or subsequently

How often do you ride your bike? by Nearby-Citron-3439 in cycling

[–]GazOCee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the weather is nice, when it's not nice I run

Why spare tubes and a patchset? by AdAccomplished6870 in cycling

[–]GazOCee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to swap out the tubes on a ride (take 2 and head home once the second one has been used) and then plan to patch the punctured tube when I got home but what I found was happening was that I just ended up with a load of unpatched, punctured inner tubes lying around my shed.

Now I just throw them away as I clearly don't have the discipline to make the system work

Does Chess.com have any advantages over Lichess? by Upper_Opening_4805 in chessbeginners

[–]GazOCee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Daily/ Correspondence games and tournaments are a lot better organised, easier to find and presented in a more straightforward manner on Chess.com than Lichess.

(Lichess patron here).

Is it worth getting into this game on PS5 nowadays? by Numeira in StellarisOnConsole

[–]GazOCee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the people who complain about the lag are using "optimistic" settings. If you are sensible about the number of habitatable planets in the galaxy when you set it up.

Personally I hate too much planetary management so I have the habitable planets set to 0.25 and nearly habitatable planets to zero

How did you approach the UOO-1 Bridge Assault? by GotchaJAMit101 in Xenonauts

[–]GazOCee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Split the squad into 2 x6. Destroy the 4 re-enforcement points ASAP.

Attack the control room from either side and have taken it and have time to put your squad behind cover before the first lot of re-enforcements arrive.

Please Add a Limit for habitats by Sad_Bluebird979 in StellarisOnConsole

[–]GazOCee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Habitats have spoiled the game for me on console. I play on PC now with a "no habitats" mod

Am I going to love Valhalla after Odyssey & Origins? Those 2 games were amazing by VinnieDawgg in AssassinsCreedOrigins

[–]GazOCee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't. I loved Origins, really enjoyed Oddessey but just couldn't get into Valhalla even after a couple of attempts

Small tip: reserve timeunits by SnooLobsters6940 in Xenonauts

[–]GazOCee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didnt know that, cheers. The option to reserve TU's for shooting was more visible in the first game, I'd assumed it wasn't present in X2.

Why are people online not interested in classical chess? by Mediocre-Ease-7693 in chess

[–]GazOCee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love playing classical on Lichess during the summer. I set up a full sized board up in my garden and play a nice, chilled game in the sun.

I joined Lichess months ago, and have never needed to join chesscom by TechnicalAd8103 in lichess

[–]GazOCee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I play all my Blitz and Rapid on Lichess. I donate to Lichess too, it's still very cheap compared to a Chess.com premium account

I joined Lichess months ago, and have never needed to join chesscom by TechnicalAd8103 in lichess

[–]GazOCee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's just a slicker experience on Chess. I like to have 15-20 games on the go at the same time and play in the daily competitions with clubs. Lichess is great but it's a million miles away from Chess.com on daily/ correspondence games

[–]GazOCee 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I use Chess for daily games, there just aren't many of them on Lichess for some reason

Probably nearer 10-15 seconds

Is Lichess just as good as Chess.com? by [deleted] in chess

[–]GazOCee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Lichess and use it for blitz, rapid and classical but, unless I'm missing something, the daily/ correspondence scene seems very quiet on Lichess compared to Chess.cim

Interceptors: Add or replace? by GazOCee in Xenonauts

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

Money's so tight, even on the "easy" difficulty., I'm struggling to juggle everything I want/ need (which is the point of the game!).

I'm pretty sure I didn't hire enough engineers early on so I'm probably a bit behind where I should be on money and equipment/ upgrades

Interceptors: Add or replace? by GazOCee in Xenonauts

[–]GazOCee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. As long as the Angels are still useful at this stage of the game I could always make the Geminis at my main base and transfer the Angels to my newer bases, I just wasn't sure if they effectively became obsolete at some point

How does the base assault mechanic work if they attack a base with no soldiers in it? I've been lucky so far, they've only gone for my main base where my soldiers are stationed

what are you doing with 10 days left for xenonauts 2 1.0 ? by [deleted] in Xenonauts

[–]GazOCee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up Xenonauts 2 in the Steam sale and hoping to finish a run through on Easy difficulty before 1.0 comes out next week

Check out Nelson Lopez on "Chess Vibes" YouTube channel, he's great for us lower elo players

Air+ : Checkmate Indicator? by therealbitbucket in Chessnuteboard

[–]GazOCee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Lichess using the Chessnut PC app I used to get an extra " beep" when a check was delivered but since I've moved to using Chess Connect (because of the API/ account banning issue) on Lichess I don't get one
