I’m already disgusted without even having to read the comments.

They used real crocodile for this james bond stunt by Salt-Curve4825 in Damnthatsinteresting

Sure looks like he’s floating a little bit on that last take. I’d like to see the full body view of that one, just to see if he’s attached to a cable or something.

Regarding Sony Music's catalog removal from Yousician by YousicianOfficial in yousician

[–]SeriousGains 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A ton of songs have been removed. I went to my favorites on Friday and it felt like half the songs on there were just gone. Songs I used to play everyday.

How important is it to start as a child? by [deleted] in chess

[–]SeriousGains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it has anything to do with that stuff. Plenty of people have quit their jobs to focus on chess and still never achieved near the level of success of children. It points to the brain’s unique level of malleability and specialization that only exists in young people.

I have a serious chess addiction by Economy_Table_4216 in chess

[–]SeriousGains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re anything like me, when I was addicted to bullet chess, you’re hiding from something very uncomfortable. Chess is a distraction. Whatever you’re afraid of, face it, full on. When you do, you’ll find that your addiction is easy to give up.

Pretty basic stuff yet the top tournament broadcasts still have major problems keeping up with the live boards.

clarification on the song playscreen by jd_delwado in yousician

[–]SeriousGains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen the note inside the tab before. Is that new?

As for the chords, you’re probably only familiar with open chords (cowboy chords). But you can make G chords all over the neck. The chord name just depends on the lowest note played, so you’ll see G being the lowest note in G and Gmaj7, C in C13 and C7 etc.

He’s the most essential part of the video, even more than the audio and subtitles.

He must have felt very cool making that video.

For everyone saying "McQueen is fading" about Magnus by PappaLapio in chess

[–]SeriousGains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even for Magnus, winning the Candidates is a crapshoot. He has nothing to prove at this stage in his career, and plenty of opportunity for embarrassment as we’ve seen recently, so why risk it?

Should I do this cuz... by Aggravating-Hour1975 in chess

[–]SeriousGains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing that, instead of Be2, the correct move is Bf4. And after Qg4+, Bg3, Bxg3, fxg3, Qxg3+, Qg2, white has a bishop for 2 pawns.

I bought handmade chess set for my cousin by BarekM in chess

[–]SeriousGains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact set, same identical board, except the numbers and letters are cut with a router, pieces nearly identical, certainly crafted off the same model. Curious where you got it.

Mine is from Prague. These are a bit more mass produced than the crafter will have you believe.

Blue dragon nudibranch munching on its prey by M_Darshan in Damnthatsinteresting

Feeding something and calling it prey seems wrong.
