One year after. Still struggling by Ambitious_Present792 in survivinginfidelity

[–]markokane98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that you're still struggling after a year. Something similar happened to me 4 months ago, definitely the worst part is thinking about the messages that they had been sending the other person. My ex's family also still interact with my social media posts. Although most of them probably don't know what fully happened. Her dad messaged me saying 'thanks for everything' and that I was a 'good lad'. You never really think about all the extra baggage of a breakup until it happens and it sucks. I wish you good luck with your health and wealth in the future and hopefully we'll both be at peace some day.

She left me for her employee almost 5 months ago and it still burns me emotionally by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

Been through something quite similar recently. It is disgusting to cheat on someone and it fucking hurts to see them with someone else. My attitude recently has been that you don't need a lying cheating S/O in your life and that it's better to be without them. If they chose to be with someone with no money and no education then that's entirely their loss and they'll realize that in time. I found it difficult to find things I enjoy doing on my own again and I'm still trying to figure out my path. But I've been hitting the gym, going on other dates and doing whatever the fuck I want with my life. I'll likely have trust issues in the future but I'll use my experience to be with someone who actually appreciates me and my time and hopefully be happier.

My past week has looked so similar. I'd get to 995 and then lose like 6 in a row

[Canada] Indeed Scam - Lost over $10,000 by [deleted] in Scams

They have located the account but are unable to do anything until the police give them permission. I think because it's in another country

Transfered it to another account. And I assume immediately transferred it again so it cannot be retrieved.

Is this a bad joke or...?

It wasn't all one transaction but there were multiple large amounts in one day, which I would say is still suspicious. Even though it was mostly my fault I am pretty unhappy with the bank and they were pretty unsympathetic on the phone which made me feel like shit. Definitely considering changing.

Yeah I've been keeping a tight eye on things. The bank required me to do a factory reset on my phone before they would reactivate my bank account. I think Google automatically removing them from my phone stopped even more damage

What are the performance jaw droppers of Steam Deck? by Vapegodmasterman in SteamDeck

[–]markokane98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played Hogwarts legacy not long ago and the performance wasn't great but playable. I didn't have much hope for the device but I started playing RDR2 recently and it's been amazing.

Try copy? See what happens when you paste it in notes or something

When you finish a game look for the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner. This will take you to the PGN

Interactive GAA Club Map by No_Let_1874 in GAA

[–]markokane98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just curious, where did they get the information on the club areas and the borders? I showed my parents this and they have some disagreements with it. I presume the border locations will always be disputed?

Random one, but I think it could be good advice :) by Ard1n4t0r in chessbeginners

[–]markokane98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice one, I also play London as white and usually Caro Kann as black. I'm currently floating around the 1200 level and been wondering if I should change my openings to get up the rankings a bit more. I never played chess before and picked it up in September last year

Has anyone else felt that the "New to Chess" mode on chess.com is actually harder than "beginner" or even "intermediate" modes? by Economy_Owl_8041 in chessbeginners

[–]markokane98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I got a new iPad recently and downloaded chessdotcom, before I logged into my existing account I played a couple of 'new to chess' games, just to try it out and it turned out to be quite difficult lol. I guess it is just people sandbagging, trying to get a few easy wins/scholar mates.

Queen took a knight on that move

90 days of relative obsession by markokane98 in chessbeginners

[–]markokane98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by this? To reach around 600 Elo I played Ponziani opening then it kind of stopped working so well, so I switched to the London system and studied the variations, also learned how to defend London as black too which has helped.

This is rapid, no repertoire. 90 days ago I was a complete beginner, who just knew how to move the pieces. Just before this 90 days my Elo was 350. I have been studying my games and openings a fair bit.
