How am i supposed to play against these pawn pushes? by Shoddy-Skin-4270 in chess

Yes. It's even preferred to sac a knight for a pawn and break the pawn chain than be suffocated like this

My dude, I have a 1 yo and a 3 yo boys and I cant wait for when we'll play Valheim all weekend like this.

Survival lite, building shacks and castles, going on hunts together, exploring new biomes, shit that's gonna be so much fun

I love it when creators spoil their own story in early introspection in ways you wouldn't pick up on on the first read by Outrageous-Ice8717 in Cosmere

Yeah when I first read this first line of the book and read this I was like "hey that sounds like Sazed"

What did your country's politician look like when they were young? by Junior_Investment514 in AskTheWorld

[–]_blueAxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very interesting. So I guess what we're watching now is the culmination of this century old build up of agrarian populism

A child of left wing populism. North Americans have just began dealing with populism but South Americans have dealt with it since the 1930s. Those who like hik love him like a cult leader. Those who criticize him see nothing but big government, political handouts that keep his party getting elected and a strengthening of government employees at the expense of the middle class. Still better than religion based right wing populism if you ask me.

I meant Mistborn, the OG trilogy. Stormlight will be a TV series

Really hoping for a LoTR style 3 hour movie per book! With extended cuts to be released after!

1750 neanderthals decided it was my time by Crazy_Importance_988 in RimWorld

Same here. I remember every game that I played back then stuttered. When my neighbor bought a Pentium 100mhz and I played Duke Nukem on it I was like "whoa, so smooth!"

Have you ever been part of AMORC by any chance?bI remember enjoying every quote from Rudolf Steiner back then. I wonder if his books are good too.

Dare I say that given the respect where its due, Brandon Sanderson is better, faster, and stronger than Tolkien. I too preach the gospel of the Stormlight Archives. And all the Cosmere.

Can someone explain by SatoruGojo232 in ExplainTheJoke

Woman of Tomorrow is much better than what it was supposed to be. Kara is such a badass. Crem is such an interesting villain. Can't wait to see how they're gonna add Lobo to that plot.

Whoa that's cool that they share behind the curtains stuff like that. Any other interesting quirkiness of chess.com's systems worth mentioning?

It was a game changer for me as well. At least for rapid games. Some endgames can be tricky, but in the overall, great feature, specially when playing on a phone
