Maybe one of these days I’ll be half decent

    My current streak for spider solitaire is 2416. I like spider solitaire and assume you probably like chess. Better than doom scrolling I think.

      True. Hopefully cancels out a lot of the negative stuff in my life, with net zero as a result.

    I’m sorry to object to your post, but how would playing chess qualify as being dull?

    (and congrats, btw ;)

        I love chess, but I have a terrible ELO because I get anxious when playing online and can’t think straight.

        I only play puzzles on lichess really, due to this.

        I quit playing for like a year after I hit the high score there, I wasted way too much time on it. For all I played I should’ve been higher really, for a couple of years anyway.

        I did mostly 30 minute games, 10 minute ones aren’t enough time for me, but I played a lot of those too. They both qualify as “rapid” now if I recall, at first they were different scoring for ratings. The chess tournaments they have like hours for the traditional games.

      I was surprised it was that high, since a significant amount of those have been spent in aircraft and on ships on the other side of the world. But that’s the magic of modern satcom, I guess.

        It is a bit surreal to have been born in a time before the, non-research, Internet and now to live in a time where almost everyone has access to The Network from anywhere inside the Earth’s first 2 Lagrangian points. I don’t think the Mars Relay Network is directly connected to the public Internet so no Internet on Mars, yet (coming soon, pre-order now.)

        Absent a major catastrophe this will likely be the default state of humanity going forward. Not having data will eventually seem as odd as living without electricity or plumbing.

    I always miss days and it’s not very forgiving. I’m at 1000 days of using the app, but my daily streak is currently… 5 days lol

    I guess that means you like chess. :)

    I’m pretty sure my dad played FreeCell for, like, eight years consecutively at one point.

    Why does the image show FSSMT for the days, you’re playing just those days a week and not 7 or they just use a weird graphic?
