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

Wholesome

Ah, damn. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll delete.

Yes, it’s very respectful.

Is this what betrayal feels like?

Oh my god, this is dark.

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!

“but that’s even more giraffes than the first one!” has me dying, haha.

Great advice, but I can’t find the m8 square. What should I do next?

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.

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

Far Side is timeless

Omg, thanks! I noticed that it had hit a million recently, and I was thinking about writing up a post to commemorate it and maybe share some thoughts about my experience posting like a madman on the fediverse for 6-7 months so far. If I do, it’ll probably be on the c/fediverse community, unless anyone can think of a more fitting one.

I’m also surprised it’s still visible! My instance upgraded to 0.19 recently, which supposedly takes away the upvote count from your profile view. I was secretly hoping to make it to one million before the upgrade happened… Lol

(Edit: also glad to hear you got into TNG!)

Now you tell him

Just tried to search it, and I can’t find one - I was all ready to crosspost!

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