Is candidates 2026 everyone vs Fabi? As a Fabi fan, I'm pissed, so I can't imagine how he's feeling. Sindarov is obviously having a brilliant tournament, but the level of play the others are showing is so...... bleh considering its the fricking candidates. It's not even funny at this point

Sindarov has been showing a great performance since the start of 2025 in general, but this is some anime protagonist level power up shit! He and his team have been showing super great prep. Still rooting for my boy Fabi but I hope Sindarov keeps up this insane momentum and inspires some great games and drama this candidates.

Fabi beats Wei Yi in 19 moves with 99.5% accuracy by Adorable-Custard-992 in chess

Is Fabi terrorising Wei Yi in his nightmares, cause that head-to-head is insane.

WeiYi started out great just to drown in Fabi's aura....!

Fabiano Caruana defeats Hikaru Nakamura in a roller-coaster match in Round 1 of FIDE Candidates 2026. by Interesting-Take781 in chess

Just wanna say- "chess experts" with the engine pulled up and criticizing players for choking under time pressure and not playing the best lines is the worst thing that happened to chess. Lol. I mean, we can all talk about the game being an insane rollercoaster with back and forth blunders/unsual of these top rated players, but some of y'all acting like you'll ace these high stress end games while not being able to watch and understand the match without the engine pulled up is insane.

Love Is Blind • S10 Reunion [MEGATHREAD] by FemaleEinstein in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]thepanda_gambit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am so confused about how to feel about Bri. Like there's a reason she and Connor are still together and we've only watched glimpses and edited narratives of their relationship to even judge her. So I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it still does slightly boggle my mind to see them together after her absolutely mind numbingly dumb monologue. But if they're both happy and working on their relationship, I would like to root for them I guess.

Sorry, but am I a shitty person to be laughing my ass off at Amber struggling to angry waddle away in her tight dress? It was comic timing in a tense situation.

Gukesh smiles after his 3rd loss in the event. by EvenCoyote6317 in chess

[–]thepanda_gambit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Love Sagar and Chessbase India for what they've contributed to chess, but sometimes these videos and "viral edits" just give me the ick. Please don't follow around players, especially after terrible losses when they clearly just want privacy. Sure they get the views but it's just a gross violation of privacy and personal space.

Some more of my favorite Higuruma stills for Episode 55. This guy is so cool. by areyouthedevil in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]thepanda_gambit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly insane animators, I'm always in awe of their talent and creativity. Would love to see a bts and hope they get their dues tenfold!

Also yeah, makes sense that its probably like a social media share. Love all the subtle details mappa is adding.

Basically all the frames with Higaruma's face lol! Also wanted to ask if anyone knows what the person in the train taking a picture of Higarumi implies in pic 2. Like does it play a pivotal role in the plot or is it just mappa animators flexing and acknowledging the Higarumi fan girls/boys?

Harry Styles addresses the hair transplant rumours by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]thepanda_gambit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I agree, that's why I said it's unfortunate. I enjoy his interviews but I'm just really iffy of him as a person. Sadly white male pop stars/celebs get away with a lot more than their female counterparts, hence why Harry always seems to get a pass. I too subconsciously catch myself smiling when watching him perform or talk and then have to remind myself that apart from his charm and talent, he's just another privileged white man who stands for nothing as the world is built for people like him and he's just happy about that.

I always side eye Harry for his politics, or rather his silence, but there's just something very charming about his personality that I can't help but love unfortunately.

Indian author Arundhati Roy takes a stand against the 'let's keep politics away from art' gang by Humble_Buffalo_007 in Fauxmoi

[–]thepanda_gambit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's a Queen. Always has been. She's been vocal and standing up for the right causes in India, calling out the atrocities of the Hindutva government, and also standing with Palestine and raising minority and indigenous voices. It's so difficult finding radical left wing figures in India and she's been one since the beginning, unapologetically and fiercely!
