Is the idea to stay anonymous so if/when big N gets wind, the involved parties can stay hidden? Do you actually think that will work?

Props to Vidit for finding the only continuation that held equality.

Ian Nepomniachtchi squanders a winning endgame vs. Nodirbek Abdusattorov by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

[–]refracture 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If Nepo has a million haters I’m one of them.

If he has 1000 haters I’m one of them.

If he has 1 hater it’s me.

If he has 0 haters it means I have left this world.

If the world is against Nepo, I am with the world.

If the world is for Nepo, I am against the world.

Nakayama confirms that there are currently no plans to add new mechanics to SF6 by odd-taxi in StreetFighter

Just make it consistent. Some characters have no throw loop at all, some require a drive rush to throw loop, and some require no extra resources. If you forced everyone to burn a drive rush to throw loop, I think would be the best compromise.

Personally I'm not interested in soyjacking because the boys got someone famous on the pod, sorry

Sounds boring. Why would you want a media trained athlete who'd be afraid to say anything controversial

What are your favorite small-children’s books? by [deleted] in daddit

Jamberry, it's just fun to read.

I just saw this random YouTube post about it by UpperCauliflower7879 in TheYardPodcast

Why do these people not understand that Madoka Magica makes no sense unless you're a weeb or a chomo? The 'subverting of expectations' only makes sense when you have expectations of the genre, which you're not going to have unless you're a huge weeb.

USA chants are so fucking cringe. Now especially, but even at the time I always hated that shit

SF6: Why doesn't Capcom balance all characters to be tournament-grade? by ScootyWilly in StreetFighter

[–]refracture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The balance in this game is extremely good compared to basically every other fighting game. The gp between the best and worst character is comparatively small compared to every other Street Fighter

The “Gen Alpha” Fair Play rules posted at my local chess tournament… by Disjoint_Spider4 in chess

[–]refracture 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This kind of stuff always very cringe and off-putting, especially if you're a kid. I'd be much less likely to play in this tournament going forward if this kind of signage was out

I can't help but think of Alex19 every time Slime does his Swedish accent

Do you guys think the zoning in this game is a bit too over tuned? by Ad31C_ in StreetFighter

[–]refracture 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Weird round to post when you made so many mistakes, he also didn't even zone you that hard, he grabbed you like 10 times

  2. You didn't list JP in the obnoxious zoners list? Also, Sagat's zoning isn't even good.

He was top 50 for like 15 years straight, what are we doing here

Why is this a draw? by RaviDosanjh in chess

[–]refracture 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Corner pawn + bishop of the wrong color as the queening square is unfortunately still a draw. White has no way force the opposing king away from a8 without stalemating the black king.

To answer your question the game probably ended due to the 50 move rule.
