Usually, but I love the optimistic fanfare of the TNG intro, and it has a habit of drawing me in.

Wholesome

Is this what betrayal feels like?

I’ve always heard that until you’re master/GM level, it’s better just to play it out. Your opponent might blunder too, or accidentally stalemate you. At the very least, it’s good practice playing at a disadvantage. I know I’ve blundered huge leads myself, so who knows what’s going to happen?

There’s a psychological thing where we always assume that our opponents in games will never mess up, which makes it feel easy to give up the moment you make a mistake.

This is great. I have a new daily game to play. Thanks for sharing!

This is why I love TNG so much. Even though TOS is the original that laid the groundwork for everything, TNG took that “boundless optimism” and ran with it. Watching TNG inspires me to continue to self-improve and encourage it in others.

Lol, there are just so many random variations of every opening that it’s virtually impossible to know them all. It’s sometimes helpful to see what an opening is called so that you can potentially look it up later, but 99% of the time I feel like Michael in the meme.

And thank you for the lore!

I swear I learn more about LOTR from comment sections under memes than anywhere else.

You pass the perception check and spot the mimic.

I love that Larson could make this joke with or without the twist on Mary Had A Little Lamb.

Like, it would feel just as much a Far Side comic if her name were Nancy and she had been followed by a duck.

I found it under a post where people were talking about living in NYC.

This is mind blowing

Haha, what can I say? I just want to help things grow.
