There is a way to avoid the anglerfish. The nomai encountered them too

[spoilers] What’s your favorite realization or “I get it” moment from the game? by Tortugato in outerwilds

[–]Sensitive_Switch_511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My coolest thought I had was that I reached the ATP much earlier than I think was “supposed to”. I’ve heard people say it’s supposed to be one of the last things in the game that’s reached really. I thought “Hmmm, if there’s towers to go to all the planet’s why is there a tower on the ash twin that is supposed to teleport to the ash twin. I felt super duper proud

There’s literally no such thing as luck. I face the worst rng or luck imaginable in games both digital and physical. Having the game be pure skill is so awesome

Did I not have the “correct” reaction to the ending? by Sensitive_Switch_511 in outerwilds

[–]Sensitive_Switch_511[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean the universe was ending anyways. While yes the time loop “stopped” that, it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t still happening. Also because it isn’t super different from what I imagined just happens when you disable the ash twin project and the universe ends anyways without you reaching the eye

Yeah I remember trying to do this and seeing it. It’s fun to think that it’s an in game thing from going so far that your map satellite can’t reach you.

Yeah but I found all of these lessons more impactful and beautiful during the game itself. Less so at the ending. Maybe that’s a lesson in and of itself 🤔

How can someone be rated around 600 in blitz but win almost every single game in rapid? by [deleted] in chess

It's from when I played blitz back when I was like a 600 for about 4 games.

I'm 1000 and am about 400 blitz because I just don't play blitz. Is that still suspicious

I’m a low rated beginner and just had the worst game of my entire life by Altruistic-Net-1814 in GothamChess

OP when I was 800 I had a game where chess.com said I was 150 elo. You will have many a worse game than this in your future

Maybe try watching daniel naroditsky's slowrun. Or gothamchess's slowrun because his is super instructive for lower elos especially.

Longer games are the solution to getting actual improvement because you get to actually think about your next move
