New video coming out today yay

I have a day's worth of recording left and then it's time to edit my next video, things should move pretty fast at that point! It's gonna be a long one!

down 10 more pounds! my goal was to go from 300 -> 200 (i really let myself go) and after a good 6-7 months I'm at 240!

I really hope that the next pokemon game has an option for a 2nd file where it's for normal nuzlocke (maybe with adjustable rulesets) with everything coded in.

After playing e4 for around 7 years and then switching to d4/c4/Nf3, every once in a while I start twitching a bit at the thought that maybe, just maybe, this time I could go back to e4 and be fully prepared against the 5 million mainlines

Incredibly basic tastes, but here's the albums I've streamed over 1k times sorted in order of most-least listens

NA is fucked, obviously this was a necessary countermeasure but jesus christ

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

in preparation for tournament chess this year: -I have lost 50 lbs (yes im a fat fuck) -I have learned entirely new openings -I am grinding YouTube (idk thought this would help) wish me luck!

enjoying marvel rivals!

I get National Master 🥶

Flashback to 2020: CA official: "If we ignore the science and put our head in the sand... we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians." Trump: "It'll start getting cooler. You just watch." "I wish science agreed with you." Trump: "I don’t think science knows, actually."

AINT NO WAY I GOT A SORE THROAT FROM BEING SICK AND MY WISDOM TEETH ARE ALSO CAUSING IMMENSE PAIN. WHAT DID I DO IN A PAST LIFE????

Wow I tried to do some calculation this morning and found myself unable to focus for more than 10 seconds at a time, and I couldnt find anything! Not sure if this means a break is in order or I need to start training more 🤣

Favorite calculation book for those between 2100-2200? Preferably just lots of puzzles and lots of solving, the harder the better!

#chesspunks can relate

Again, I reiterate

#YusupovChallenge update: book 3, chapter 20 (mate in 3) completed! 😎 Always trickier than I though but it’s good practice to burn your brain! White to play ⭐️⭐️ #chesspunks

I think the biggest problem for people who aren't top chess players (or titled players) is that it's hard to find a good long term goal that is easily definable that isn't related to rating. Winning a national championship? probs not Winning a state/provincial championship? maybe? still unlikely.
