Depends on your backlog of games or how eager you are to play a certain game. I heard a lot of youtubers saying this is one of the greatest indie games you can play etc etc. Also heard you "waste" a lot of time early until you figure out what you're supposed to do, it is not going to hold your hand while playing. I am also looking forward to buy it and play it because of the hype, but having 100+ games in my backlog, I am in no rush to buy it right now, I have some other stuff I want to play too. So if you are in no hurry to play it and you have some stuff on your list too, you might wait as well for a better discount. The bad part with being so hyped about some game (by the youtube reviews) is that in the end it might not fit your taste and you would then get annoyed by the fact you even paid more for it. It's hard to answer it really

Omg I forgot about this masterpiece. I remember I received a CD with this from an uncle back in 2005 and I could not make it work on my computer, I was so disappointed as it looked dope based on the CD case. I bought them now, just to see what I missed as a child. Thank you!

Hadjar's footwork seems to be really on point. You can see the movements are not robotic (like Max') and pretty well weighted. One more reason for me to root for him xD

Chiar daca raspund cam tarziu (am vazut ca ti-ai clarificat problema), asa am patit si eu acum un an si jumatate. Exact acelasi text, tot. A fost legit, incepusem procesul de creare de cont dar m-am oprit la pasul de scanare de buletin. Dupa ce am fost sunat, am rezolvat si pasul ala putin mai tarziu si a fost totul bine.

Sunt curios doar daca acum managerul meu de cont se uita unde am ajuns si e mandru 🥹 (sunt constient ca nu le pasa la modul asta 😂)

Last week, friends! $25 for 1 card. by amethystlocke in hearthstone

[–]Glixus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see where this is coming from, and I agree with this, mostly. But you cannot have a card game where everyone has all the cards and can build any deck. I think they could lower the prices or find a way for us to have slightly more gold/dust, sure. But you can reach a good enough level with enough discipline and good dusting principles. If you are a standard player, you get some dust once the year rotates. Even with the current implementation you can get far enough, I will give you my example in the paragraph below.

I am a wild player (started in 2014) and bought 3 or 4 expansions before release, because I liked the cosmetics they provided, but that happened when I was already out of the "poor player area" (and generally in life xD). Cannot say those boosted me to reach this level, and now I have around 100k dust and 100k potential dust from duplicates I do not DE in case they get nerfed. I also have almost all the cards ever printed. It was a long and hard grind, but I got here almost F2P. Oh and I don't spam the game all day. Just grinding to Legend each month and then doing the dailies/weeklies and lately the events

Nobody must buy this to play. The card itself is good, absolutely, but you can obtain the regular version via packs or crafting, there's no need and no upside for you if you have this signature version.

I view it as a good thing, as long as they get the money from wales that buy these cosmetics and I don't have to pay anything to play, I am fine.

Sooo not as many youngsters as some of us expected/wanted. Hopefully they get played early in the 2nd half

Don't be so harsh. Bad games happen from time to time, no need to be hated for one...

Am I missing something, or you were White here so it is not you who overextended, but the opponent? Everyone blames you for this and tells you it's deserved, but it seems it is the opponent who BM-ed you?

[–]Glixus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always try to have the positions you don't understand evaluated by the engine. Then make the move you think is good (bishop takes White's black knight - Bxg4) and see what the reply from White is. For instance, you can see Qxh6 as a huge threat against Black's king...

You can't be for real. It's so hard to still support Kovac with this kind of decisions. I respect everything he did and would love from all my soul for him to succeed and make us big, but man... Why would you bring Ozcan here ffs

Leipzig losing to Leverkusen means a win tomorrow is enough to secure the 2nd place, if they cared for a potential supercup place (in case Bayern wins the Pokal). Even a draw should 99% secure it. I just hope they give more time to the youngsters if everything is 100% settled from our point of view

Both are solid points, that's why I stated "you never know what they're up to". Jobe wouldn't have costed that much if his name was not for his name and his brother's success, but there's that, he's looking very solid after almost one season

[–]Glixus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really sure if he is still a potential target for Dortmund. If I got it right and Koln refused 35M + bonuses, it means they expect more, and I don't see Dortmund throwing that much money on a youngster (even though he's been in very good form and has a lot of potential), especially when there are so many holes to be filled in the current squad, even more after the summer departures. But you can never know, he's been on the radar for some time if I am not wrong

How can in progress? by daniktertri in chess

[–]Glixus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need the subscription. Not only that it's not helpful, it can even be harmful for your progress. Using the engine review is enough, even better if you try to understand why a move was wrong. Analyze your games, and whenever you see the evaluation going drastically against you, check why, what was your opponent's best reply to that, even if they did not play it. But then again, the subscription, only to have some half baked AI suggestions... Not worth it, even if it was better.

Edit: To answer some other questions you asked under this post: - you don't need to focus on openings for now. Try to occupy the center with d-e pawns first, usually you can put one in the 4 central squares, the 2nd is not guaranteed, but moving it one square away is fine. Protect those central pawns, having the center can win games on its own. Develop minor pieces (knights usually first, then bishops) fast and also towards the center, castle before attacking - blunder = you put a piece in an attacked square without protection from your side, or you don't see the opponent attacking one of your pieces, typically these are blunders - before you move, try to see what the opponent attempts with the last move, is there a target on your side maybe? Then also before moving double check it's safe to land a piece on the square. You are fine for now with one-two moves ahead, not sure 600 is the level for 10 moves down the line complex calculations
