Rapid pays off but gives little points..

10 mins is about speed and blunders with a plan in the mind, regardless as long you acquired more points than opponent you just play it out.
The 30 mins I win mostly

0001 My Current Project

Few years ago I got an idea of creating a who-done-it horror story for Halloween. Things didn’t go as planned (￣～￣;). Real life distractions made me spend too much time on cooking ideas for the story instead of actually working on it. And now my simple project transformed into a well-fed monstrosity with sharp teeth and claws to keep me firmly attached to it.

I did read about feature creeping that many developers face from time to time. Especially when working on something beloved and personal. But I didn't think a text-based interactive fiction can suffer from it. Luckily, my project is way behind the point where I couldn't stop myself without damaging it.

That being said, I am still short on time I can spend to work on it. But I want to finish it. One way or another. I hope releasing my intentions to the void will help me stay focused on this desire. In that case...

I'll be back.

I find this to be true and it is well documented in behavioral science that when we make our intentions public we are exponentially more likely to actively work on them. I would be interested in more details if you would be inclined to share more?

I do not know if you have prior experience on the Fediverse or not? I have ran this Friendica Instance now for nearly two years. It has been an adventure though I believe I have most of the big issues resolved.

I have sent you a follow, feel free to follow back.

A read-only TUI for .kdbx files local host

Browse groups, search entries, reveal & copy passwords, all in the terminal. 100% local, fully offline, never writes back to the vault.

Stack: Python + Textual + pykeepass, sandboxed in a Toolbx container so it never touches the immutable host. Launches with one word: kdbxview
The side quest was to move that file from my host to my image, had to battle some SELinux things to get it right on the right port to transfer that file and voila
Immutable OS. Containerized dev. Offline secrets. Strong crypto, honest threat model.

3 rapid games won in a row!!!! Those 3 must feel miserable..
Current streak is 3 at my newly made account on Lichess from mobile data only..
So, I'll stop for the day and maybe concentrate on puzzles.
2 were chess-mated the 3rd a friend just gave up in the end.
This made my day! a second 3 times streak win in just a week time.
Nah, fuck it! I want a higher strike and as such Imma vape some more Gelato Kush and have a grip on the game.


stupid game mech pit me against higher way higher elo so my streak loss is back to 3 vs 3 win...But the loss points are less then I won so I'ts logical.

I really do not care for rapid games. For less experienced players it adds an element of luck which should not exist in chess. For experienced players it just says who has memorized the openings better. For me, chess is a thinking game, I typically play with the standard 30 minutes, and an additional 30 minutes after 40 moves if the clock allows for tournament settings.

Most importantly though I hope you had fun! That is another important part of chess, remembering that it is fun.

@Unus Nemo Well I had my part of being dwelled by 1000 elo whilst I was only 890 ish but as you say that rapid makes me do errors essential ones, but on the other hand fast play has it's advantages as well, If you master the openings and take out his horses and a essential few pawns and retain defensive he will make faults at my level.
Another fun is the puzzles they offer there apart from the education of opening- mid game - end game. I must train on mid game where all gets I get you but you get me and the counts misses at some point... add me I sent ya a PM

@Unus Nemo well I funnily win if it were for 30 minutes double the elo from rapid where I took some serious blows
Same as rapid they trained on killing horses pinches with horse etc and time runs out.
The Android app is ok but I prefer the site for overview but it has some nice functions.

Oh, I hoped that you were somebody
Someone I could count
To pull me to my feet again
When I was in doubt
Now I'm the last cowboy in this town
Empty veins and my plastic broken crown
They said I swam the seas then ran aground
They said I once was lost but now I'm truly found
And I know the place but not the way
I feel, I feel no shame
But you threw your heart away
Oh, I know just what to say
That the Concorde, it can wait
We have still got time to say
And I know you ran away
Oh, I know my feeling okay?
But now I've found love, the feeling won't go
Now I found love, the feeling won't go
See you walk away
Feeling okay now
Happy now?
I'm calling out your name!
