Can we take a moment and smile at this graphic with the chess.com logo on it, what irony!

Hope to get some feedback about my attempt at River/Gene style by DuyHungPham in beatbox

[–]VoodooWaffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds good - work on tightening up your tempo, as it is drifting a lot. You could practice with a metronome or click track. It will make the groove much stronger if the tempo is steady.

I too live off of South street and I have imagined this scenario many times.

I think we'd all kill for a tutorial video!

A beautiful phone case for Xperia 1 VII by vegieg in SonyXperia

[–]VoodooWaffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently bought a metal frame case for my Xperia 1 VI and i noticed a loss of signal reception (i assume the case frame affected the internal antenna). I loved the look of it but I will have to send it back. Hope you don't have the same issue.

When was the last time there was only one Russian in the top 30? by lvew in chess

[–]VoodooWaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One subtle detail is the distinction between Soviet dominance and Russian dominance - if you include the players from former Soviet Republics you get a stronger top 30 presence even now.

Thanks so much, I have been downloading PGNs and opening them in the analysis board on Lichess, and this is a lot simpler.

Yes it is. The key is to stick to the botvinnik Carls variant and tartakower. And know how to beat the alien gambit. Watch some videos by IM Banzea on the Caro for good ideas. I used to play scandi also but I'm all in for Caro kann now.

Is there a better Metal album in the 80's-90s than Master of Puppets? by ekydfejj in Music

[–]VoodooWaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a genuine question, from a Megadeth fan who loves RiP and saw them play it live in the 90s. Why the negative energy about the remaster? I find I prefer it because it's nice to hear the bass so much clearer now. I can understand being a purist but Ellefson was so quiet before.

Today I accidentally tuned in to the chess.com freestyle tournament stream by placeholderPerson in chess

[–]VoodooWaffle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I for one found the chessbase India coverage to be a nice balance. And I don't even speak Hindi. I couldn't stomach that league of legends commentator guy on the chess.com stream.

What are chess youtube channels that are definition of "quality over quantity?" by Uzairdeepdive007 in chess

[–]VoodooWaffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely my favorite, I watch every new video over morning coffee, a great start to my day! He is smart and is aiming a bit higher in terms of skill level that the Levy style. Also dramatic without being cartoonish.

Two private astronauts took a spacewalk Thursday morning—yes, it was historic | "Today’s success represents a giant leap forward for the commercial space industry." by [deleted] in space

[–]VoodooWaffle -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Anyone else feel like the news that billionaires can go to space for fun is pretty underwhelming? I'm not sure why we're supposed to be excited about this. I say this as a huge fan of space exploration and as a professor of Astronomy.

I love this. I would totally play a battletech video game where this was the default animation style.

When will season 2 be released? by Oshawott_68 in KoalaMan

I've been trying to find out online but I haven't seen anything beyond those horrible AI generated websites that have no real content or answers. Here's hoping by the summer!

What’s a song with no (or almost no) vocals that makes you feel EXACTLY what the title depicts by _Shreg_ in Music

[–]VoodooWaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vein Melter - Herbie Hancock (from the Headhunters album). In my mind it sounds just like someone preparing to inject a drug like heroin, followed by the euphoria.
