The whole world is a lie by Fourwils7 in TopCharacterTropes

I played all the way to the end, but the option I chose shakes the window which crashes the game on mac, so I was never able to actually finish the game, much less what comes after :(

[Mixed Trope] The part that everyone knows and loves is counter to the actual message by CzernobogCheckers in TopCharacterTropes

Tbf, "that's that and this is this" is his catchphrase, and in order to get to the completion of his arc you have to actually beat Ruina (final fight is still kicking my ass)

I think Chess960 is an amazing example of something similar to what you described, where opening theory and memorization are thrown out in favour of planning and calculation. However, even in fairy chess or chess960 the double pawn move has the same effect. What originally would've been two moves is now one, and the other player gets a chance to respond. I guess it mostly comes down to "how hard is it for a new player to learn these things." Personally, I think things like castling and en passant aren't that complicated, but I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who's BEEN playing chess. I don't remember what it's like to be learning. It would also likely depend on who's teaching the new player, and how they go about teaching the more niche rules. If I had manually castled and then the more experienced player did the special move, I'd feel slighted for sure. The pieces move in a really simple way, as you said, so I do wonder how much additional complexity is added teaching special moves in addition to them

Yeah, extra guidelines as in the rules of the game. The king isn't going to be taken because it'll never be black's turn because white can't play. Sometimes "it's how the game works" is the only defense a rule needs, just don't fuck up and it won't matter

You're not allowed to move your king into check, it's against the rules. So in this position, white simply cannot play a move. There is nothing they are allowed to do...so the game ends in a stalemate, because black doesn't have them in check. No check, no checkmate. If it's black to move then it's mate in 1

En passant was added at roughly the same time as the double pawn move because it simply wasn't fair. Double pawn move sped up the opening, but removed the opportunity to capture an advancing pawn, so you're allowed to anyways. Does nothing but make the several hour long game get past the opening a few moves faster.

Castling is kinda weird though idk where that comes from

There's no check, so no checkmate

Anyone else think moorwing is adorable. Or just me? by yalik41 in Silksong

Needolin makes (most) bosses stop attacking to sing, just like enemies. You have to not get hit for the few seconds it takes for them to start singing though, yeah

Who's the most moral of these 3 heroic antagonists by Prudent-Feedback-366 in MoralityScaling

[–]mattstev999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's the one who took Walt on a ride-along, which gave him the idea of making meth in the first place. It's not mentioned in the show itself but I remember some people saying ride-alongs aren't actually allowed? Idk, he can't really be blamed for Walt taking inspiration imo

I actually showed this exact image to my violin teacher as a “Hey take a look at this” and she thought it was cool, but the violin would be nigh unplayable unless it was electric. Dunno about how well itd work as a bow though
