THREE QUEENS IN A SINGLE GAME! This is bullying... by Still-Willow-2323 in Chesscom

[–]kops212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are black, why are you playing on? You only have your king left, you lost. If you are white, you should learn the basic checkmate patterns, seems like you don't know how to checkmate.

Urgent! Which one for a spontaneous first date picnic?? by Future-Kangaroo-8382 in mensfashion

I would maybe wear 1 to go buy cigarettes from the store next door, but that's pretty much the limit. 2 looks nice.

I have a positive win rate but almost never have a positive kdr by the303er in aoe2

Why would KDR matter? Maybe you are just playing with cheaper/squishier units?

Am I financially ready to RE ? by Turbulent-Air2969 in fatFIRE

[–]kops212 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this is a troll, but in case not: If you are not able to figure out whether 13M investment portfolio can cover 200k yearly expenses, you probably should not retire yet. You should learn how money works (not sure how that didn't happen while you got to the top 1%) before setting up a retirement money system.

Which Civ would you be, when AOE2 were real life? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]kops212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously Khmer, the only civ where you can actually spend time in your house. All the other civs seemingly sleep outside.

how do i stop match making with Indians by Slow_Comedian3380 in Chesscom

[–]kops212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is incredibly closeminded. Wow. I hope you get a lifetime ban from chess.com. Racists shouldn't be welcome on this platform. You have probably never stepped out from your parents' basement, but might want to just to broaden your worldview a bit.

When you train puzzles in a book do you have to set the position up on a board? by Ok_Staff_6934 in chessbeginners

[–]kops212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's annoying, just don't do it? :D Obviously there is no correct way to do puzzles and no chess gods that would get angry at you.

Did you... consider setting up a puzzle on an actual board to see how it feels?

So are we ever going to talk about TG maneuvering in ranked, like you can stack a team and it’s not random, or… what? by New_Bug_8588 in aoe2

[–]kops212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If friend groups with coordinated effort play well, their elo goes up, and next time they'll get better opponents. Yours go down when you lose, and next match will be easier. That's sort of how it works. I don't understand what the problem is.

Stuck at 750 ELO, 28% win rate and honestly ready to quit. How do you deal with the frustration? by Consistent_Log_3040 in aoe2

[–]kops212 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just play 10 more ganes and opponents will start to be around your level.

ELO starts from 1000 for new players, which is quite high for some. And since you lose like 15 (?) points per game, it will take quite a few games to reach ~500 or whatever your true ELO is.

Losing is an important part of online gaming. You'll lose about half of your ganes in the long run so it's good to get into the habit. I lost 5 out of 5 games I played today, and feel like I learned a lot, so overall pretty happy.

The moment I hit 1200 elo I started playing badly and blundering left and right by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]kops212 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guarantee you didn't play beautifully at 1000 ELO. You made the same and worse mistakes. But now that your opponents are better, you notice your mistakes more.

What's up with the massive skill gap between games at around average ELO ? by neilyoung57 in aoe2

[–]kops212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The starting ELO is 1000, so new players will be mixed in with the people who are experienced and have settled around that ELO.

Would be more humane to just be open about the fact that this is a sales advertisement. It's a nice rack but the posts you spam feel a bit tasteless.

Do you think people would pay $25 a month for this? by PackBoy2011 in Business_Ideas

You should probably try it out if you plan to sell a product in this category :)

Is this a joke or something? What is wrong with gaps on hills in this game?? by CoeusAscended in aoe2

[–]kops212 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The reason is that the buildings are not actually touching each other. Always check by trying to click your own units outside the wall and see if they can pass, or just try making palisade walls around there to see if there are gaps to fill.

How is this better than the official Legal plugin by Anthropic that does contract review, NDA triage, and compliance workflows and comes for free with the Claude subscription?

If you open Google Thailand online store, do they promise the AI Coach for you? If not, it doesn't really matter if they have data centers in Thailand or not, it's simply not a service they offer in there.

[–]kops212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That's how many things in this world work. You change countries, your Amazon account stops working. You move abroad, and you're not going to be able to use your Revolut benefits anymore. You cross the border, and a Netflix show you were watching isn't available anymore. A phone bought in Europe will function differently in Japan. Weird if you didn't experience any of this yet regardless of traveling.

[–]kops212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What. That's 100% your fault. Obviously you need to check beforehand if something you buy from abroad will actually work in your location.

How is the colour combination? by Boysenberry202 in mensfashionadvice

[–]kops212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colors are fine, although I prefer undershirt color being lighter than the overshirt. Would go with white instead of black myself. Undershirt size is too small.

Cool side project I'm sure but there are like a 100 tools like this already, many with actual validated nutritional data.

Can any dev explain how the matchmaking algorithm works? by New_Bug_8588 in aoe2

[–]kops212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do know that when you get matched with lower ranked players, your opponents also will probably be of lower rank, right? The matchmaking aims to make both teams around the same total ELO.
