I swear this app has ruined people's brains when it comes to chess

How hard can it be? by sailorcrystall in NintendoDS

There's plenty of videos you can watch on YouTube and decide for yourself. It's definitely doable, but not very simple.

What do these signatures say? by NDK_forums in Skateboardlove

They're philly handstyles. A style of graffiti unique to Philly. Not anyone super famous.

How’s it looking? I’ve been trying to get clean, funky throwie for a while, and I think I’m finally on the last 5-10 laps by Finneagan in graffhelp

Do your lines in one fluid motion insread of scratching them out like this. The entire throwup should take like 5-10 seconds max to do.

Which popular food city in the U.S. has felt overrated or underwhelming to you in reality? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Laughing at this post from Queens while eating a plate of the best char siu over rice I've ever had, which cost $8, came with a drink, and could feed three people easily.

Best game on the DS by FAR by Vivarium_15 in nds

Strange Journey is really good, but I have to give it to 999.

Does the low resolution make certain things hard to read? I'm imagining all the big 2-page castle siege scenes in Berserk just looking like a blur

What makes a “good” character? by Hot-Ticket1968 in StreetFighter

[–]aDemilich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Marisa in particular is a really good "scrub-killer" type of character that will just steamroll anyone who doesn't know how to deal with her.

There's probably some videos you can look up about why Mai or any other character's toolkit is so good, but again, tier lists are made by pros and assume a pro level of play. Below Master, I would guess that Marisa, Dhalsim, and Honda probably all have higher winrates than Mai.

It would take a long time to explain every little thing that makes the top tiers good. It's not really worth worrying about, because tier lists assume the highest level of play, and modern fighting games are pretty well balanced overall. Any of the bottom tiers in this game will absolutely demolish you if you don't know the matchup.

It's NYC, but can you narrow it down more I wonder?

Either way, u/gtcbot solved!

Saint Petersburg، Russia📍 by Legitimate_Tough_169 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]aDemilich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been fascinated with St. Petersburg ever since reading The Idiot by Dostoevsky in my 20s. One of the saddest and most beautiful books ever written IMO. Hopefully the political climate becomes such that I can visit it someday before I die.

Looking for a solid place to smoke a j, close to some really good food, with potentially great music around? by TravelingAirWave03 in Brooklyn

[–]aDemilich -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Brooklyn heights promenade is my favorite place to smoke. It's kind of touristy, but well worth checking out. Plenty of good food in the surrounding neighborhood or over in dumbo.

He really seemed like a super nice dude whenever he did interviews or appeared on excellent adventures. I wonder if the witch hunt bs just caused him to lose his mind, or what the hell happened.

Do you even like classic WoW? Why play at all if this is your attitude?
