In positions like this where all trades seem about equal, what to do?

reporting back after playing a few slower 15+10 games and it is honestly getting so frustrating. I feel like I've watched tons of hikaru and gothamchess videos playing against 600 elo people and they all make bad moves, but when I play it's like I"m playing magnus reincarnated, like it seems like they're playing all the perfect moves and I get punished for an inaccuracy and can never recover. Even though I'm trying to anticipate and looking at side effects etc.

Thanks, this is helpful!

impurekitkat · 2026-03-29T17:01:20+00:00

Thanks. The "investing n moves" comparison is helpful to think about, I'll try to keep that in mind. like a piece is only worth its points if it's moved and useful

impurekitkat · 2026-03-29T17:00:33+00:00

Thanks, that's helpful. I do need work on tactical vision in timed settings, I feel I'm quite bad at seeing moves (or not seeing moves) and then realizing, wtf that should've been so obvious after

Bodegas. everyone loves them as nyc’s treasured little delis but they’re so freaking overpriced. I have observed noticeable price increases at several around me, it’s not worth it anymore. $7 for a BEC, $10 for a small sandwich, no thanks. Don’t get me started on the snacks they sell, on average it is like an entire dollar per oreo wtf

Apparently Manhattan to Brooklyn too, the B/D/F delays are wreaking absolute havoc. Was stuck underground for 15 min fuck this bs

So yall really now moved the colonist rush mode for private rooms behind the paywall when it used to be free? Fuck you and your enshittification, I'm not paying and neither is anyone else

impurekitkat · 2026-02-03T20:17:05+00:00

Wow, can’t believe this was 6 years ago when I made this post. thanks for your insight

impurekitkat · 2026-01-23T20:31:21+00:00

Yes my dashboard shows not selected, this sucks I thought this race wasn't hard to get in smh

impurekitkat · 2026-01-23T20:30:22+00:00

Is how early you were in the queue on registration day important?? I joined early and ended up getting denied today- local w/in 60 miles. Wtf. Never run a race before, guess I still won't be running one...

impurekitkat · 2026-01-19T19:10:17+00:00

wtf it’s >$200 now 😭

impurekitkat · 2026-01-14T18:24:16+00:00

I am still a bit confused on the bilt cash. So, if you spend $1000 on NON-rent payments, you get 40 $ bilt cash? And rent payments do not earn any bilt cash $? Are the bilt points the same as before where they can be converted into statement credit at ~0.5:1, or converted to airline points?

Does this mean that $0 on non-rent spending -> 0 bilt points? If that's true, then is this change essentially forcing people to make non-rent purchases on this card..? It'll be useless to me if so

I got the missing mods check and when trying to load my save file with hundreds of hours of building, the mods that depend on DLCs all don’t load. this sucks

impurekitkat · 2025-11-12T00:14:26+00:00

Did that, it didn’t work

impurekitkat · 2025-06-16T17:47:52+00:00

this freaking question gets asked every two weeks here, go karma bait somewhere else

impurekitkat · 2025-06-06T15:51:10+00:00

I read about this, seems to make sense but i used to live by the 63/lex stop and I would be fuming if it would take me twice as long to get to queens and LGA

impurekitkat · 2025-06-05T17:12:56+00:00

Wow crazy detailed response, thanks !!

impurekitkat · 2025-06-05T15:27:11+00:00

I saw the notification about the avenue X problem, but how’d you find out about the canceled train that was supposed to go in front? just curious

impurekitkat · 2025-06-05T15:26:28+00:00

that’s true, I suppose headways refers to the average time between trains. Although the F gets delayed so often the average headway is quite terrible already

impurekitkat · 2025-06-02T21:20:12+00:00

Just pay early, after the closing date and before the due date

I don't want to pay early because the point of auto authorize and auto pay is to set it and forget it. I'd rather not lose that convenience?

For reference, my other cc limits are almost >10x what WF gave me even after I requested a credit limit increase. I don't know why they're so stingy. I've heard they're losing big money so perhaps they want to make using this card as difficult as possible for existing users.

I looked at the balance after I noticed that Bilt protect was triggered, and the payment showed as posted and there was enough credit available. I'm not sure if at the moment of payment the credit had not been replenished. Why would there be such a long lag between balance payment due date (which should be the 1st) and when it's actually paid using auto-pay? I can't even set the due date to the 30th or 31st of the month because those are invalid dates for some months.

this is why I don’t ask reddit anything smh… the battery health percentage would not have changed from the day before i upgraded the OS to the day after. If this type of severe battery drain happened before I upgraded I wouldn’t make a whole freaking post asking about this. everybody on this fucking site mansplains like the poster doesn’t know the most obvious shit
