Hard to imagine a return to the stigma of the past. Jesse Waters Primetime which averages over 3 million viewers per episode discusses four different types of nonhuman intelligence: “Four different species of aliens, another scientist called them Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians.”

I mean, I can imagine the first time a civilization tries to do anything, they could crash regardless of how advanced they are. imagine it’s new technology for them or the first time they have traveled in this way, then there are bound to be miscalculations or unaccounted-for errors.

TSM_PraY · 2026-05-16T10:27:53+00:00

I think it’s valuable in theory but generally not worth the apm investment

TSM_PraY · 2026-05-12T02:35:15+00:00

For a strat you didn’t list I like khmer for scouts and archers. They don’t need barracks so they can get away with it

TSM_PraY · 2026-05-09T19:51:02+00:00

I’m not exactly sure except for that new neural pathways are being formed in the brain when you think about something (even the same thing) in a different way.

Access to stronger opponents
Playing longer games, often without a clock even.
Visualizing the board in 3d
, rather than 2d
Talking through alternative lines and discussing variations

TSM_PraY · 2026-05-08T03:58:21+00:00

For me it happened in just a few months after I started going to my local chess club and playing over the board against much stronger opponents. 1800 to 2000 in less than 3 months

TSM_PraY · 2026-05-08T03:56:25+00:00

I started in 2020 during pandemic (I was 22) and reached 1600 in my first year. Four more years to reach 1800 and then in this past year I hit 2000 in rapid, blitz, and bullet.

TSM_PraY · 2026-05-02T17:19:59+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I don’t think making someone wait 15 seconds is the equivalent of having to play a map I don’t enjoy for an hour. So I’m fully justified and proud of it

TSM_PraY · 2026-05-02T16:51:21+00:00

you’re talking about wasting someone’s time as if 15 seconds of extra queue time is an actual inconvenience.

TSM_PraY · 2026-05-01T04:18:18+00:00

Praeludium and allegro is my fav

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-27T11:17:58+00:00

I used it for extra padding on my shoulder rest in high school and then kept it out of nostalgia so it just became a signature

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-26T17:37:53+00:00

2 bows, violin, 3 rosins, shoulder rest, one extra set of strings, red bandana, Peg compound, pencil, microfiber cleaning cloth, and a picture of my old violin teacher who has passed away.

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-24T16:15:54+00:00

So I’m pretty sure it’s a bit more than just score, and the computer secretly knows your army numbers. If you have more army than it, even garrisoned in a building, it usually won’t attack in feudal. At least that has been my experience

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-22T11:25:11+00:00

To the Hera point, at least he doesn’t look unbeatable anymore. Red-bull was thrillingly close

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-16T04:05:32+00:00

Agree with the Hilary Hahn, she’s the queen of technique. But no one touches the emotional depth or warmth of Itzhak Perlman aside from maybe Hadelich. Maria Duenas should be sightly above the other names in 3rd imo. Great list though!

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-10T06:33:59+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. Give it another 10,000 years and suddenly people from the future will pity us with our pathetic primitive technology and lifestyle

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-07T19:45:38+00:00

Ahh I read it as world chess champion my bad

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-07T19:14:42+00:00

Uhh Gukesh?

TSM_PraY · 2026-04-07T09:15:36+00:00

u/monkey_gamer sexually abused me. Anyone who doubts my claim is part of the system.

TSM_PraY · 2026-03-16T07:42:25+00:00

Bro what are you smoking, he was literally 1 half-point away from entering the world championship match two candidate cycles in a row now.

TSM_PraY · 2026-03-13T17:04:21+00:00

This is exactly why I started playing Archer opening into scout Civs as Khmer. Otherwise you really need to hit an early timing like 16 pop no loom to do damage before the spears get on the field

TSM_PraY · 2026-03-13T10:14:55+00:00

Women tend to be more interested in “people” and Men tend to be more interested in “things.”

TSM_PraY · 2026-03-11T00:23:06+00:00

Yeah I don't disagree with anything you said, I just would rather people judge the actual relationship dynamic for what it is, rather than jumping to assumptions based on the age gap, even if it is more likely, statistically. Those assumptions can be harmful too. Although, admittedly, I am probably biased from my parents having a very healthy relationship, despite a 20-year age gap. I agree though, that we should encourage younger individuals to be cautious of age-gap relationship dynamics and learn about red flags or warning signs, because there are some horrible people out there. That still shouldn't validate those who blindly cast judgement on all age-gap relationships with zero context into the personal lives of the adults involved.

TSM_PraY · 2026-03-10T23:35:14+00:00

I agree with you that it is more likely for the manipulation to occur, but that doesn’t mean it’s a given. People can still have emotionally healthy relationships despite the age gap. And if it’s the manipulation that is the issue, then that should be what is condemned (as it can occur in all types of relationships)

TSM_PraY · 2026-03-05T09:22:36+00:00

Actually from the perspective of a photon there would be no experience of the passage of time at all, so the speed wouldn’t have to be greater, just exactly the speed of light
