besides the obvious, what also fucks me up about this is that anyone desperate enough to buy into this is being told they're gonna have access to their loved ones forever and can pass them on to the next generation, when in reality the avatar belongs to a tech startup that won't exist in 5 years

tfw you mess up your winning endgame, turning it into an all-but-guaranteed draw... but your opponent declines your draw offer so that they can immediately blunder the whole game in one move

blitz chess is great as a no-stakes side game to my usual rapid games... it scratches that "i wanna play chess but don't wanna think too hard rn" itch. and though I'm sure I'd get bad habits if i only played it, i do get exposure to lots of new board positions i wouldn't otherwise

i wanna play someone enough that they end up knowing all the tricks and best responses to my openings and force me to learn to play them better

i really wanna find friends i can play chess with regularly... someone rematched me in rapid ranked for four games in a row today, and it was really fun getting more and more familiar with their openings and their play style over the course of that

‪if i made a phone and marketed it with this wording, you would literally be choosing between 256 and 512 GB of random shit i chose fill the drive with, and you can never remove or change any of it

okay wait, at what point did phone manufacturers start calling internal storage "ROM"... are they specifically trying to make people like me mad or

took me a while to learn this one. i think the only times where i haven't deeply regretted deleting a social account later on have been when I was specifically leaving the platform for external reasons (facebook and later twitter). just remaking alienates yourself and your friends for no gain

i already use a pc as a game console by basically running steam deck software on it and i really love it, so i see a lot of potential in the new steam machines!

tfw you misclick during a clearly winning endgame and accidentally hang your queen and lose a large part of your advantage in one move, but then your opponent is too rattled and doesn't even take it

I feel like being Ace in furry can be difficult sometimes, even if you're generally secure in inhabiting that identity. People can evaluate you differently - as odd, withholding, wrong, somehow running "counter" to what we otherwise tend to most readily celebrate about queerness.
