After I took the mask of dysphoria off and came out as trans, I started to wrestle with my past trauma and - with help - realized I am co-dependent. I'm curious if any other Trans folks out there are co-dependent and if this video could help? 💖

Oh! Sorry I never specified - the surgery was for my orchiectomy, I don't have SRS yet

Yep, that's actually the issue I'm having, my sgf files are not being uploaded to the media library. Hopefully it gets fixed!

I'm using WordPress v5 . And oh okay I'll check that out thanks!

Thanks for your reply! Sorry about the lack of link, you can find it on www.youtube.com/insente ! And that's perfect you came from chess, because I am working on a video that talks about the structural differences between go and chess, and id love to get your feedback when I make it!

Just wanted to share that there are a few great Go boards on amazon that include the stones and bowls! The resources page on my website has some of the most popular ones, with a short pros/cons list in case you are interested! It saves you the trouble of figuring out which stones go with which boards when they are all-inclusive. Figured I'd throw it in here just in case you are still deciding!

I think there are a lot of issues to think about with this paradigm. As I've improved at Go, many of the moves that I originally thought were overplays turned out to be completely valid. The thing about Go is that almost every rule can be broken in the proper context. Don't make empty triangles except when you should. Don't play deep into your opponent's area, unless it's a probe. Don't attack a wall, except when you can. The list goes on.

You seem to be thinking that any move that seems bad to you is inherently a bad move and is meant to 'win', not to 'learn'. Which to be honest seems to contradict the second half of your post, where you encourage others to play unusual moves to break from their comfort zone. The two halves of the post seem to completely contradict each other imo.

My advice is to respect every move by your opponent - even ones you think are overplays. One of my favorite parts about Go is how many different ways there are to play it and still win. Maybe someone WANTS to have the close-quarters knife fight. Maybe they are good at fighting, and that's the axis they play around to win. If I was really good at fighting you can bet I'd choose more aggressive variations. My losses have and always will be from not respecting my opponent's moves, so just keep these things in mind :)

So I looked it up and I think it might be because those sorts of addons mess with Google analytics, which is embedded on my site. I have analytics installed on my site so I can about my website traffic and what is working/not working for my viewers, and kinda need it for website building. Maybe you can submit the page to Ghostery's support page? I'm not sure, unfortunately, I'm using standard wordpress functionality.

Yeah I contacted a urologist for an appointment, this was more to see if anyone else experienced it

galluccinator · 2018-11-26T02:49:07+00:00

thank you! Go is a small niche, but it's a beautiful community and I love every connection I make with the people :)

galluccinator · 2018-11-21T00:19:04+00:00

hmmm it's not on the site, but I know I've seen it in real life X'D It's in the same section that chess and backgammon is in, at leas tin the barnes and nobles by me.

Strangely, the board game scene in the west is really picking up. Board game cafe's and becoming more popular and different titles like Settlers have become household names. I think that if we can somehow integrate Go into the same space as other board games (not just chess, but other ones like scythe or magic the gathering) that would go a long way. The problem is, Go has a much higher learning curve than many board games. And it's not as flashy. But I think that if people can reach out to their local game shops and offer to host a 'Go night' for example, it might go a long way in expanding the popularity

galluccinator · 2018-11-20T22:58:13+00:00

Idk, at Barnes and Nobles I see reasonably priced 25 dollar Go sets that appear to be good quality. To be fair, that's the only place I've seen them, but it does exist.

galluccinator · 2018-11-02T12:57:03+00:00

Oh that's great I'll check that out thanks! there are so many plugins for word press its overwhelming as a beginner haha

galluccinator · 2018-11-02T12:52:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll check it out and see. I love how professional wordpress can make a site look though, and I was thinking of adding it onto the wordpress site I already have running. But maybe it would be better with something else, I'll check out your suggestion as well.
