The federation needs to ban these already
We need a fourth, derpy-er dragon.
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!
Ooh, and Measure of Man. And can't forget the Moriarty episodes.
You know what, might as well just watch the whole thing.
I took physical notes... Played completely blind and tried to figure everything out on my own. Probably not too many item descriptions though.
This is relevant to my interests...
Maybe the last 2 can split it
The lesson is forgotten the moment the next match starts.
Firing that revolver randomly in the air is one of the happiest times we ever see Sulu. Look at him. He's in heaven.
You're not wrong
Yes, this one was tragic.
I love how in this episode Bones was ready to marry that woman, but then he just peaces out once he has a cure.
McCoy might not be a brick-layer, but Spock is.
I've found that doing a metric ton of puzzles has greatly improved my tactics when I'm playing "recklessly". It helps your board vision and you'll generally have a better feel for what you can safely attack.
As far as playing too defensively, maybe finding an opening that leads to a natural attacking plan would be helpful. I've been really enjoying Queen's pawn openings that point all of your pieces toward the opponent's castled king, so even though I'm playing "safely", I'm still creating threats.
The Vulcans are nothing if not thorough.
Space Force makes sense now
Maybe he'll write about his struggles for others to understand.
Yeah, I'm not going to trust anything in the article, but I have to admit that it was a fun rabbit hole to fall down for a moment.
