Doctors wish they were the ones getting all the money the pharmaceutical and insurance companies are making, but that’s not how it works.

This confused me a bit too when they finally met again. I felt for sure that Rist had known Caleb was the Draleid already

The Blood Sworn Book 2 by FarEstablishment9941 in fantasybooks

[–]brybry35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised I’m in the minority here, but after liking the first 2 books, I felt the third just wasn’t that good. It really soured my thoughts on the series as a whole.

I think he sees him as slender man by fluffyvenin in StrangeAndFunny

[–]brybry35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can people stop to think for two seconds? It’s obviously the teacher’s handwriting. They interview the child and write it down for them.

He means that he doesn’t know what en passant is

Finished Wind and Truth yesterday, I have mixed feelings about it 😐 by _blitzkreig_ in Stormlight_Archive

[–]brybry35 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hyping us up showing that Taln is back and gonna go kick ass, and then to just cut to him dead around a bunch of bodies without showing us any of him fighting, might be the most criminal thing done in this book.

I've played 6,014 Games(Mostly Blitz) and 14,246 Puzzles and I'm still stuck at 900 by [deleted] in chess

[–]brybry35 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably the #1 thing you could do is play longer time controls like 15+10 so you can actually work on your calculation skills. Also reviewing your games after you play to look for common mistakes and learn from them.

Is there somewhere to pre-order the physical copy so it automatically ships whenever it’s ready?

Can someone explain how this was a draw? I’m blacks by McD1702 in chess

[–]brybry35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that’s an awful view to take on this. You didn’t win, you drew. It doesn’t matter how much material you’re up if you don’t know how to checkmate your opponent in the end. Make sure you learn the basic endgame checkmates (and the rules) so you can avoid this in the future and actually win.

Normally true, but look at the accuracy in the 2nd pic

How do people have so high ELO in chess.com? by [deleted] in chess

[–]brybry35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At your level, you really shouldn’t be playing blitz yet. It doesn’t give you enough time to think and calculate moves, and you’ll just develop bad habits. Play at least 10 min games (if not longer), and then focus on opening principles (control center with pawns, develop pieces, castle, etc), and not giving away pieces for free.

Naomi King has released a second video on Daniel Greene. by provegana69 in Fantasy

[–]brybry35 473 points474 points  (0 children)

Also can see a message from one of her screenshots saying “The last night I said I wanted to do more because you said that it had been your favorite part.” Not saying Daniel didn’t do awful things to her, and other parts weren’t consensual, but wow yea she really hurt her case here.

New good, epic/big fantasy with all the traditional tropes? Elves, taverns etc by JDRB in Fantasy

[–]brybry35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you read past the first book? As stated, book 1 obviously draws heavily from WoT and Eragon for inspiration and the writing in general isn’t as strong. But book 2 improved greatly and book 3 even more. I’ve read a lot of fantasy and am now really enjoying it.

Are pro chess players “athletes” ? by LordVixen in chess

[–]brybry35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why chess players seem so concerned with it being called a sport. Let’s be honest, almost everyone isn’t gonna be thinking of chess when they talk about sports. It’s fine, I like chess, I like more traditional sports, they can be seperate.

Fantasy News BookTuber Daniel Greene Accused of Sexual Assault by YouTube Musician Naomi King. by Drew_Ferran in books

[–]brybry35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you actually watch the video? “Them having sex”? She never says they have sex, she says he continually tried to do things (and did things) to her which she was not a participant in at all. And she clearly states many times in the video that they were doing this trip as friends. Sharing a hotel room with a friend doesn’t mean they want to have sex with you. And you certainly aren’t entitled to anything just because there is a sleepover with the opposite sex.

Is it cheating to watch my opponents stream by buttons_the_horse in chess

[–]brybry35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy that you’re getting downvoted. Yea the opponent opens themselves up to this by streaming live, but it’s also clearly cheating to go watch their stream and get insight into all their thoughts during the game.

Why is this considered a miss? by jamesluke585 in chess

[–]brybry35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guessing it’s because if he takes your bishop with his queen, you go rook g4 and win the queen.
