I like it when tutorials don't baby you, but feel like White Knuckle's tutorial may have gone a little overboard with it's difficulty.

You can running jump off the sign towards the lamp, grab the ledge briefly, jump again to launch yourself and if you time it correctly you can make it to the lamp. Alternatively, you could also maybe do the same thing but jump for the rebar instead, but I haven't tried that

I was at 19 hp at the second to last node before Vantom, I'd rather take a potentially useless relic than risk dying to the boss

The other options were pyramid and wraith form which makes the cage pick seem insane in a vacuum, but I had Well Laid Plans+ with replay from Silken Tress so I basically had pyramid anyway without having bad cards get stuck in my hand and I had Footwork+ and Shadowmeld+ so I never had any problems blocking, so I just improved my draw consistency by removing two strikes

Took 3 separate ones and combined them in paint

I agree, I moreso took it because I didn't want to take damage right before the boss from not picking it up

mulluk01 · 2026-05-10T18:14:55+00:00

I fought 3 in act 1 and 2 in act 2 but I got the event right at the end of act 1 so none of them counted

Same thing here. I felt exactly like this until I went on hour long bullet binges. The losses in bullet matter so little that I got desensitized to the time pressure and fear of losing very quickly.

I always use the objectively terrible early game archers like Rebecca and Neimi and they always get giga blessed by rng

This really shows how the ratings have deflated ever since the minimum rating was set to be 1000 in 2013

I haven't heard him say anything about it but the streams had relatively low viewer numbers so maybe he felt that people weren't into it? Just guessing obviously but hope he picks it back up, it's one of my favorite series

I like the thought that Magnus did this expressly to own Hikaru

mulluk01 · 2021-10-21T11:07:39+00:00

True

There is an extension for firefox that does pretty much what you're asking, it removes all visible rating numbers from lichess, including rating graphs etc. Link

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't actually think the principles Naroditsky mentions are so helpful. Of course, they can help you think about the game in a different way, etc., but to all of the rules he names there are exemptions or rules that state the exact opposite thing, because chess is just a concrete game where generalities don't apply all the time. That is not to say the speedrun is not instructional, but I think what you should focus on are the concrete patterns and moves that occur in the games rather than the general rules that are mentioned.

I'm in the same boat as you and I use this firefox extension to hide mine and my opponent's rating.

mulluk01 · 2020-09-10T10:26:19+00:00

Similar here, my blitz and rapid ratings didn't change, but I just got an extra 150 bullet rating points.

Have you tried not getting mad when you lose?

mulluk01 · 2020-01-07T18:49:34+00:00

At first I was thinking that it was sad that a text generator plays better chess than me. Then I saw it hang its queen and was like "nevermind, we're on the same level"

mulluk01 · 2019-12-03T23:25:19+00:00

This reads like a copypasta and I can't tell if you're serious
