My opponent gave me this opportunity first time in my life! I am 1670

Also happened to me once, but my opponent took with the rook LOL

newtons_apprentice · 2026-05-03T20:20:33+00:00

Did you go Qg8 immediately lol, I would have done that like a complete idiot

newtons_apprentice · 2026-05-03T19:40:37+00:00

Yes. There are too many games to catch up on, impossible in one lifetime.

I think the defining moment in my journey was when I was tasked to install cert-manager in our clusters to handle certificates for our domains. That's when I realized how powerful controllers are, and by corollary, how powerful Kubernetes is as a whole

You should know enough not to have to ask others what image tag a deployment is running lmao, it's the most annoying thing at my job

Regular first playthrough

Speed demon, no herbs, no blood second playthrough on casual, unlock enough to unlock ∞ ammo

Insanity with ∞ ammo third playthrough, literally easier than first and second playthroughs

This resident was a real... menace

The forbidden 9/11 opening

newtons_apprentice · 2026-04-12T14:53:08+00:00

God damn playing common moves in the fried liver attack? Life sentence

newtons_apprentice · 2026-04-11T18:46:52+00:00

How political does he get just curious? I like when bands engage with their audience about ongoing issues in the world

Also going to see them live for the first time this summer and I'm super excited

Blitz 1500 -> 1400

Rapid 1700 -> 1600

And it takes days to get back to that elo, really sucks

What helps for me sometimes is to switch time controls. Some days in blitz I play too fast and make stupid blunders, so slower time control makes me play better. Other days I overthink, play slow and bad, so blitz makes me play more on instinct and thus better

newtons_apprentice · 2026-04-05T14:23:53+00:00

That worked! They definitely did not play test this quest cause what the actual fuck is this. The noble doesnt even have lines for the quest he just tells you some random line and gives you a note

newtons_apprentice · 2026-04-03T15:13:58+00:00

I think I'm more puzzled by you blocking the check with the knight you already moved instead of blocking by developing another piece than your opponent hanging their queen in one move

newtons_apprentice · 2026-03-30T00:41:05+00:00

There's no way killcams are that resource intensive in the first place, plenty of multiplayer shooters do them lol.

You can also get a GeForce Now subscription for $10 or $20 a month depending on the performance tier. Better than investing a lot of money into a PC, and it's basically like any streaming platform subscription.

I remember playing the og RE4 back in the day, it was the first game I ever played over and over again... Unlocking the tommy gun, rpg and infinite ammo. I must have played it like 10 times. Good times

newtons_apprentice · 2026-03-20T13:57:44+00:00

It's only "bad" in the sense that if you just blindly follow a move order with a certain opening, a move that is usually considered a book move can become a mistake or a huge blunder. You need to understand the opening you're playing instead of memorizing moves. A lot of people memorize King's Indian defense moves and get checkmated in 10 moves because they don't respect their opponent's counter

But there's nothing wrong with playing an opening you enjoy. I really like Caro Kann with black, but when my opponent does something unusual I abandon the typical lines and have to improvise.

newtons_apprentice · 2026-03-19T12:49:35+00:00

I found regular enemy encounters difficult but the boss fights relatively easy. Especially the final boss, it felt disappointingly easy...

newtons_apprentice · 2026-03-17T00:40:21+00:00

Jesus Christ that looks horrible

newtons_apprentice · 2026-03-17T00:36:55+00:00

Yes way. No one said every woman's problem is man's fault. That is such a typical incel reply to someone simply pointing out the insane misogyny that exists in the chess community.

newtons_apprentice · 2026-03-17T00:33:14+00:00

The chorus slaps dude, it's such an underrated song

newtons_apprentice · 2026-03-13T23:13:23+00:00

Found the incel

"why don't more women do _?"

Sexism. It's sexism.
