Cyberpope v2 posted:That's because he finally got smart enough to realize chess sucks This reminds me of this weird dude I met a few years ago who freaked out and got a big ego about beating me at a game of chess. I played casually as a child and hadn't played a game in ten or more years.  : "omg u play chess for 25 years and I beat u and I just learned the game two years ago" :"ok buddy"Apparently he had been obsessed. He had a couple of chess books in his bag and everything. I declined a rematch. I only liked the game at all because of Battle Chess.

My old boss was a chess dork and always bragged about how good he was at the game, one day he challenged me to a match and I won, although I hardly ever play chess. he never mentioned chess again and got pissed whenever i brought it up

When I was a kid I bragged about how good I was at chess and got beaten in six moves. Chess seems to be one of those things where it's like kung fu masters in martial arts movies, the braggarts are always terrible at it while the real grand masters are like quiet old men in the park or random service workers who will unleash a flying triple queen kick on you when provoked.

I was just like, weird flex but okay dude. It's not like I was any kind of grand master.poverty goat posted:who here bought fo76? name and shame The White Dragon posted:it was this guy Yep. I have found it to be a fun and interesting adventure sandbox, but a lovely "MMO". I also loving hate standard MMOs and MMO culture. So, the salt mine this game has produced is really pleasant to see. I'm a Mistress of Mystery :bigtran: Speaking of Fallout, Brian Fargo also did Battle Chess.

Chess is weird because for a lot of people it’s a direct measure of how intelligent you are Can’t play chess = caveman Can’t beat me at chess = loving moron. Idiot. I’m smarter and a genius Can beat me at chess = some sort of loving cheater/obsessed loser with no life. I don’t even play chess that much!!!

it seems to be people who are trying to beat the game while pressing the A button the fewest number of times why would anyone ever even think to make up that kind of challenge why do other people seem to care about it as well

My response when watching those videos rapidly oscillates between a sort of frustrated boredom and a weird kind of hesitant respect for the brain damaged conviction it must take for someone to put that much effort into something so banal.

A part of me wonders what incredible contributions could be made to, like, law or medicine or mathematics if this nerd alert dedicated even a half of his slavish devotion to Mario to something. The internet was a mistake.

Or creating a cult of personality around himself and leading a totalitarian regime backed by genocide. Of course the really funny thing is that he decided that pushing down on the button but not lifting up shouldn't count as a press of the button. That entire video is him redefining terms so he can wank about having pushed the a button ONE HALF OF A TIME FEWER!

This guy's whole persona is pretty grating so I don't think I recommend watching this video, but if you want another example, he beats Super Mario Odyssey without ever doing something the game counts as "jumping." It's kind of a technicality, because he uses other ways to gain height that the game doesn't count as a "jump" (for purposes of counting how many times you've jumped over the course of the game) but still, he has to work pretty hard to pull it off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HZ-nfMfu8o

On the one hand, beating SMO without jumping is kinda amazing. On the other, it is amazing that someone would actually do it.

QuarkJets posted:He actually justifies his explanation really well though It basically boils down to "Well I didn't press it IN THE LEVEL, which means that it is totally different than if I started the level and just jumped in place!" It's been a while since I saw that video, so I could be wrong here. And quite frankly I think if the guy is the only one crazy enough to play like that so whatever, let him define his scoring however arbitrarily he wants. But lets not kid ourselves here that he basically rewrote his rules so his score would shrink.

Fried Watermelon posted:Wrong. Ah, and he can do this many times in one level? No? He can only do it once, as doing it more than once involves releasing the button and hitting it again? So that big long video was for the entire purpose of justifying his score being a negligible 0.5 lower? He pretties it up nice, but the whole video is... yeah

Ghost Leviathan posted:How would that even work? The entire franchise is built around Americana and a particular alternate history where the country turns into a nightmare parody of itself. (and yes the jokes are easy) Maybe Canada might work, but otherwise everywhere else doesn't have as much to go on, unless you want to literally make a Mad Max game. This is pedantic nerdery but in the Fallout universe Canada is annexed and part of America as of 2067 (and Mexico is occupied territory but not part of the US proper).
