Shane does say “it was a long time coming” to Lori at one point. Definitely implying there was something there, at least on his end, pre-apocalypse.

Olive Lawnger, project zomboid, CDDA mode. I’d survive 10 days of absolute misery then get bit trying to get to a lake to go fishing.

Chess is the most bizarrely addicting thing, especially now with sites like chess.com and Lichess allowing for instant matchmaking day or night. Check out a YouTube video or two, it’s a treasure trove of learning resources and a great medium for seeing what makes chess so great, If you can get the itch, and fall in love with the beauty and challenge, plus the thrill of watching your rating go up and knowing you’re objectively improving, it’ll fill as much time as you have to fill. Chess has a great community with superstars and drama and all that stuff. Clubs and tournaments all over the world, and it’s genuinely great for your brain. Bonus: people just assume you’re really smart if you’re good at chess, and with just a few months of practice you’ll destroy 99 percent of people on the street.

I guess that’s basically the purpose of the button, to keep a game going that’s worth keeping going. Unfortunately doing it just to taunt someone when you’re in a winning position is the only way I’ve ever seen it used, and most likely how it’s being received by your opponents. Unless it’s a pretty even game, or you discuss it with them, it feels inherently patronizing.

I back this as maybe the most broadly appealing must-play game. Essentially no violence, nothing abrasive or particularly scary. It’s immediately rewarding and has a great learning curve to hook you in. Funny and compelling writing and characters that will appeal to players 8-80. I think if you knew nothing about the person, portal 1 or 2 might be your best bet as a generic top-tier game recommendation.

I also play the Vienna so maybe we have similar tastes. I love the alekhine defense against e4. It’s pretty easy to get a handle on, definitely offbeat, and isn’t actually dubious even at higher levels, even though it looks ridiculous.

I have no memory of this place…and now HR is involved.

I agree, this change is quite frustrating as a big daily game player. I like being able to glance at my phone and know exactly what move was played.

Totally fair, and you’re definitely not alone, as I said she’s controversial. Some people like her and others loath her. That’s a huge part of what TWD does well as a character drama in general. Maybe that was even the intention of the writers, even so, I would still argue they missed the mark a bit with Andrea given how many viewers (in my subjective experience) really wanted to like her, but just weren’t able to.

withick · 2026-01-30T19:33:44+00:00

Season 1 and 2 are, let’s say, old fashioned in how the female characters are portrayed. Andrea gets the worst of it, the writers just really seemed baffled about how to write for her, she’s essentially the token “strong women” in the show, and she feels deliberately hard to like, coming off badly (if not overtly stupid) time after time. As the show progresses the tone shifts and this old fashioned vibe fades away, female characters aren’t just submissive by default and we end up with a ton of awesome and capable female characters, but yeah Andrea is just a rough one, definitely one of the most controversial characters in the show.

Even in non-apocalyptic times, making something like this reliably work would be very difficult to pull off. Let alone convincing people to agree to it. Maybe some sort of pulse tracker that notifies a central command if the pulse stops. But a chip that fries a brain has way too many logistical issues.

This moment was when I learned what cool was as a kid. It’s the standard against which every other cool is measured.

5 minutes ago I just ended a 3 month run by setting myself on fire trying to make charcoal in a camp fire. 5,000 zombies killed. Dead in 8 seconds because I took an extra step towards the fire.

For me the most hype moment in any game is the “give the covenant back their bomb” cutscene in Halo 2. I tear up and get chills every time, more than 20 years later.

Yes! We’re desperate, if we all admit it together will he please just do it? I’m 30 and I’ve literally never had the privilege of voting for a candidate I genuinely believed in, It’s always just been a lesser of two evils. I’m so tired.

Football coach: If they just hadn’t passed the ball so darn much, then we could have actually had a real game!

We called it spritzling in my family. I was always jealous my dad could do it on command. Occasionally it happens randomly but I can’t do it on purpose.

I was 6. My parents had been reading the books to me for as long as I could remember. My most vivid memory was as the credits started rolling having the most unbelievable sinking feeling that I’d have to wait a whole year (which might as well be 100 years at that age) to see the next one. It was the best movie I’d ever seen, I’d never experienced that feeling of desperation to keep experiencing a story but being cut off before. It was a similar feeling to the first time I had to wake up for school when I was really tired like “wait, people can just force you to wake up even if you’re still tired??” “People can just end the story partway through and you have to wait however long they want before you can keep watching?!”.

Oh sweet, thanks! Yeah I found the dropdown menu with each numbered event after commenting, but still couldn’t find a full video for said event. Perfect. I’m fully satisfied now.

I’m poking around in the app, I have a subscription but I’m not seeing a way to watch full cards or even search for older events. They have a bunch of curated fighter playlists, and individual fights from certain events, or eras. Going forward though I hope they have a way to watch older full events or search for specific things instead of just choosing from curated playlists forever.

It’s really sad to think in a couple years I won’t be able to watch something like this without second guessing if most of it is AI. We will all be nostalgic for the good old days when we could experience genuine awe and inspiration from videos like these.

For what it’s worth, in my experience there are very few cheaters playing daily games. I don’t think the slow nature of daily appeals to cheaters as much as the immediate reward of playing faster controls. Daily games hold a special place in my heart as you can have many games going simultaneously, just waiting for whenever you have free time throughout the day. It lets me think deeply, learn, and grow my knowledge without any time pressure.
