Playing some chess tonight, online. I have lost 4 times and won 0 so far.. I hope my rating stabilizes soon and I can have opponents who haven't been training there entire lives just to viciously murder me in under 15 moves over and over again

Is that on chess.com, or one of the other many chess sites? Since I used to play on chess.com ages ago, and I always thought it had the best UI for a chess site, compared to some of the others I've seen.

i actually just switched from chess.com to lichess, after a month and a half of playing exclusively on chess.com. i like the lichess UI better, everything is %100 free, and i kind of wanted a fresh slate as far as my standard/blitz/bullet rating goes, since i have some knowledge and experience under my belt now. and also my chess.com stats were severely padded by me slaughtering my coworkers over and over again until they didnt want to play with me anymore, so my win ratio was like 85% just because of them lol. hit me up if you want to play some time, Major. I have a feeling there's much I could learn from you

Heh, I dunno - I haven't played in a few years, so I'm extremely rusty! I'll have to check lichess out though; sounds like a good site.

Also, the humans (myself included) lost the BSG game last night, sadly. We were doing quite well, up until the last third of the game where we effectively ground to a halt, drawing so many bad crisis cards, that spawned more and more Cylon attackers, (with a few others like water shortages and a terrorist bombing) none of which letting us spool up our FTL drive to jump again; so we could never escape the Cylon fleet surrounding us. Still, great game though - I'd like to play it again; hopefully having a more balanced/well-shuffled crisis deck, too! :D

According to my stats I'm in bottom 20% of all players on the site.. You can take me bro. My lichess username is the same as it is on here, send a challenge my way if you're ever in the mood. Cheers :D

It's insanely hard to find a good group.

me and my friends used to play and it was fun but i wouldnt exactly call them a 'good group' because i was the only one willing to DM and also they would never really try to take it seriously which is fine but it was always 'can i gently caress the dragon lol. i roll to gently caress the dragon' every session

if he rolls a natural 20 you have to let him gently caress the dragon it's the rules

I'm pretty sure he got it in. This was years ago though, so maybe he did not

are there any good ways to play DnD over the internet? i know there's at least several options but i remember them all looking like doodoo, but if there was one with a solid interface i think a pimp zone dnd sesh would be fun

I spent a couple hours with a friend I hadn't seen in like a year cause he was in a different state today and I got him to play a couple games of Chess with me. I kicked his rear end to the drat curb and now I got him playing online & practicing so he can get revenge lol. Playing on a physical board is 100x more fun than clicking and dragging online
