This whole thing is just so weird to me, like people can't handle the fact that they might not be pure and good they have to hold themselves to this absurd standard
I watch football, but I don't eat at chik-fil-a, no such thing as ethical consumption, etc.
Friend of mine was streaming it and all I could think was "this looks like ass why are people wanting to spend $60 on this"
nostalgia and collectivism
fucking disney adults are a thing
people like spending on weird shit and ain't nothing changing that
but also fuck chess that stupid ass game goddamn I hate chess sometimes
Pip teach me to play chess
gothamchess and eric rosen both have excellent series on youtube about learning the basics and fundamentals of beginner chess
daniel naroditzky and ben finegold both have series on improving at intermediate levels of chess
all of those dudes have massive amounts of free, easy to follow, and entertaining lessons that I can heartily recommend
also, anna cramling frequently has her parents who are both very strong GMs on her channel and stream with her and they're super charming, also her mother has the most soothing teaching voice
Now I thought that I had an uncharitably low opinion of adult Harry Potter fans, but mine is at least higher than those of... Harry Potter fans? Who think that other Harry Potter fans need to be reminded to piss?????

Shitting their pants is just part of the Harry Potter fantasy though
Chess has its share of sports politics problems.
Much of the money in chess is Russian.
Much of the chess world org is Russian.
One top ten player is currently banned for being pro-Putin. Most of the rest keep their mouth shut.
Except Kasparov, who is vehemently against Putin.

the first thing you need to do to play chess is pick a top tier multidimensional branching point that will serve as the basis for all of your upcoming decisions in the past
at this point you may have discovered that you've already lost at this timelines's version of chess, but don't worry about that, we'll be fracturing this reality and replacing it with an alternative universe where you've already undone your opponents check
as we collapse the quantum wave form we see that the event horizon has now solidified itself into a singularity that is only governed by probability, and that you have successfully prevented your opponent from existing in the first place, as well caused the game of chess to never be invented
and that's really all you need to do! congratulations, you just beat chess!
My impression of chess is that you need to memorize oodles of openings and gambits and prior games to be moderately competitive? And also an enormous number of people online are cheating?
I used to enjoy playing, casually, with people in real life who also knew the rules but also didn't study it. And that was super fun, basically a tactics game. I like tactics games! But I really, really hate memorization games.
Like I thought a lot of Harry Potter fans were weirdly into self-infantilization but at least infants know how to fuckin' piss you know
I feel like this is a gamer thing, more than anything
When my wife is concentrating on a task she will forget to eat, drink and take bathroom breaks. It impressive in how much she can get done when concentrating like that, but she also appreciates when a co-worker reminds her to take care of herself.

That HP tweet is weird because that game ain't something like an MMO with a new expansion or raid tier. No one is going to give a fuck about who the world first max level wizard is in that game.

Yeah I don’t think that’s what they were going for there.
Just that some people might be a wee bit obsessed to the point of unhealthiness. Like. I doubt these are speedrunners they are talking to.

In hindsight it probably should’ve been a turning point in my life but here we are
Ah fuck, I just remembered I hadn't pissed in weeks, so thanks for that. No one else had the stones to remind me.
Had to flush four times. It was a whole rigamarole. Remember to piss, Potterheads.
pretty sure if you actually hadn't pissed in four weeks, you'd have stones enough for everyone.
You could take that screenshot, change the date to 2009, and replace the HP references to CoD… and I’d bet good money that post already exists.
