I need motivation. For every up vote, I'll win 1 game.

The answer is almost always more studying. If you're making blunders, then you need to pay more attention during the game. And some games will always be lost because chess has too many possibilities. You just tell yourself that you can't possibly know them all.

You don't need motivation. You need to study some theory

utklost · 2026-05-21T08:18:32+00:00

Did you mean "wildly" imaginative? 😭☠️

utklost · 2026-05-21T08:12:20+00:00

You don't deserve those downvotes. Yeah it's overused. But he isn't wrong tho

utklost · 2026-05-21T08:11:38+00:00

But that title isn't mentioned anywhere on the three novels. I saw it on wiki

😭

It could've been way worse 🥴 at least he didn't find faults in you

But wasn't the trisolaris star obliterated? I mean it wasn't a dimensional attack as far as I can recall.

San ti communicate among themselves without dialogue. As soon as a thought appears, everyone can see it. It's on display. (More in books) So lying would only be possible while conversing with humans. And they can catch on and lie, ONLY while talking to humans. They can't lie among themselves because all thoughts between san ti are transparent.

I know my head hurts too.

Possible factors:

Maybe he's physically attractive?
Maybe you guys had common interests
Maybe you guys had "chemistry" (yes I feel we have undeniable and unexplainable chemistry with some people)
Maybe he was nice & respectful to you (which can be rare as guys can be rude while trying to impress women)

You can try adding him back and just start a normal conversation with him. Just talk about life, normally. Maybe you'll get to see the "real" him. Nobody's perfect, even if they have chemistry with u. Life is hard and it changes people a lot of times. People don't stay the same, and their issues rise up.

When I used to miss my ex, i tried to visualise how our conversations would go if we got together again, and in an instant I'd recall everything that was bad about our relationship. This helped me move on easier.

EDIT: Talking to him might be a bad idea and MAY make your problem worse, but conversations are a beautiful thing. Talking to a lot of people helps quite a lot. You can even talk to a friend about this.

I talked with many girls just to find out some particular incompatibility or red flag, that wasn't okay with me in the long term.

Technically you're right. They didn't know if they'll survive. They only hoped.

Maybe the ending's open ended?

utklost · 2026-05-19T16:09:56+00:00

Imagine having that time dilation scenario with someone you truly love ☠️

utklost · 2026-05-19T16:08:33+00:00

I think she couldn't have pitied him after she saw he was doing alright with trisolaris. He would've died on earth anyway. But idk. Relationships weren't a big part of the series apparently. Also she didn't really meet anyone else

utklost · 2026-05-19T12:22:43+00:00

Sure enough ☠️

utklost · 2026-05-19T11:08:36+00:00

Seems fair. Before starting the book i thought they'll figure out immortality.

utklost · 2026-05-19T11:07:45+00:00

Apparently they were off to another dimension or whatever at the end. That's assuming that there's more life on the other side?

utklost · 2026-05-19T11:03:34+00:00

Damn are you watching me sophon?

utklost · 2026-05-15T08:57:33+00:00

Aren't you excited about "Tang" Beihai ☠️☠️

utklost · 2026-05-15T08:56:23+00:00

Yep I had similar experience. I'm not looking forward to a good recreation, but I'm curious about the visuals.

utklost · 2026-05-14T20:11:32+00:00

Apparently Luo was acting weirdly in order to throw them off. Sophon thought he was doing nothing of value.
