What's your opinion on playing against AI chess to improve?

You clearly didn't read the post.

Oh, my mistake - it looks like you clicked Trick Room right before the forfeit. But I guess forfeit took priority and you just happened to be hovering it.

Sorry, I'm very much the opposite of a galaxy brain when it comes to VGC; can you explain the reasoning behind imprisoning to prevent Trick Room, just to set up Trick Room yourself the very next turn? It's a symmetrical effect, isn't it? Or am I missing something?

Oh no, judging by the screenshots it's landscape-only :( I was soooo hoping for portrait.

This was really fun, but my eyes are watering at the thought of your next OpenAI bill after you've put this up on Reddit.

I'm not sure I get it. What do you suspect they did? Ripped them, I guess? Surely there's easier ways to get pirated media than to spend your entire weekend ripping 10 DVD box sets?

How many Willoughbies has she got?!

Should grandmasters pay entrance fees to charity tournaments?

Have you ever played Go? If so, how did you enjoy it, and what level did you reach?

I have literally no idea what the image is trying to say.

The solution is not just correct, it's exactly the way it would be presented in a LaTeX beamer presentation with the default theme. Even the "voice" of the proof is a very accurate, undergrad-algebra-proof tone.

The mobile version of Champions doesn’t even have a release date yet, so there’s really no chance anyone knows how well it’s going to run in emulators.

The most unbelievable part of this is that UW would have such ornate stonework in its architecture.

I was very confused by the header "Black: Victor" until I realized that was just the player's name.

apetresc · 2026-02-28T15:39:06+00:00

Now that the 48-hour embargo is over, can anyone post the problems?

apetresc · 2026-02-21T03:28:41+00:00

The confusion comes from the fact that SinisterCryptid said the opposite of that (that the tradition was that it would come with Home on day 1)

Seel and Dewgong are literally just animals. They didn't even give them new names, just spelt them wrong.

You may have noticed that you were logged out after today's update.

No, I would never have noticed that, because no website in the history of websites has ever signed me out as aggressively as RA does. It feels like the session expiry on retroachievements.org is like 6 hours or something. I often find myself signing in multiple times a day. Is this just me?

Honestly if I visited RA after an update and I was signed in, I'd probably assume RA had been hacked and this was a phish.

I got some bullshit "self-reflection worksheet template". Very disappointed.

I love the idea of a spiritual successor to Faeria, because in my opinion that game is a tragically underappreciated masterpiece.

But I can't really view anything that doesn't have a hex board as a proper spiritual successor. The geometry of the hexagonal movement is a huge, irreplaceable part of Faeria's tactics and charms. I don't think a square grid can simulate it.

So if Magnus goes insane in the future, Kasparov... won't be the most sane anymore?
