It was a nightmare to get it even to play them off the HDD in the first place. When i even attempted this i messed up 2 thumb drives to lock and cant even remove the files. So i was stuck into this supererogatory of not getting it to work. It wasn't until i found out that i was using some old tactic that was obsolete i could ACTUALLY do something. Needless to say i was able to play Gamecube ISOs before Wii ISOs...Ironic

Is it common that if you practice sth that you already have some experience in, you get a lot worse at first? I'm currently having this and it is very disappointing...

mario OCs were really easy in the mid-to-late 00's because there was literally a program designed to take whatever colors you wanted and turn them into a gameshark code for super mario 64, so even the least artistically inclined person could show off their ugly-as-sin neon marios

I don't even remember what mine was. I feel like there was a large amount of pink in it

Chess. I had a peak mid April of around 1780 in blitz (half a month before I started having more time and I therefore played more), and since then I started freefalling (<1550 today, admittedly on a bad day), even if I practiced more in the last weeks and months.
One reason could be that I'm overplayed, in which case I'd just keep going and improve enough that I make that up, and if I have an important game or tournament, I'd maybe take a few days rest from chess to let the forged sword cool down, so to speak.
Another reason could be that when practicing, you change a lot of routines (which are important in blitz especially) and you therefore play worse in the beginning. I have noticed a little bit of this, sometimes even anticyclic performance waves in blitz and standard time controls.
It could also be that my previous rating was somehow "artificial" because I played fast and won a lot on time, and higher rated players, while tougher to beat on position, are often not that much harder to beat on time than lower rated ones. As I started thinking in blitz, the wins on time became rarer and my play when using time didn't improve enough to make up for it... Don't like that version, because it would mean that taking your time is punished and this is against my sense of chess justice ^^.

Also @ DMG DMG , you ever had something like that?

I don't play chess at all so i cant really say much but in thinking games progress is really hard to measure and doesn't always correlate nicely with actual in game success. just play more and don't get yourself down about it and you'll eventually start making noticeable gains again (probably)

Edit: here's an inspirational speech for ya
"only people who throw away 'how' can be changing

people think dream is dream
but when we practice or try hard, dream will be come true
dont left dream as dream

Success's opposite meaning is not 'fail'
it is 'dont challenge it'
if u fail, do a frustration
after frustrationan, hard work again

what do u think of crisis
even if situation is already crisis, they dont know that is crisis
but worse than before is
even if people know that is crisis, they dont do anything

dont throw dream
makes dream as real

All nation can be win
Also korea do one's best"

I'm not a bullet or blitz fan, but focusing too heavily on them will tend to negatively impact your playing. Matches under 5 min for me aren't as satisfying so I tend to abstain from it, you could be on an unlucky streak or an actual fundamental decline in skill but good luck figuring that out from blitz. You may just have a dulled tactical sense that you will regain after study or practice, dunno.

My declines in chess have been from absences or long breaks, although comparatively the explosion of chess info/theory/etc recently makes it much harder to beat opponents in the know that even a couple years ago.

New 27" BenQ arrived to match my first :D. Now I just need one more to complete the set.

I actually gained a few points on the tactics trainer, but my blunder rate increased. Well, the first is mostly pattern recognition and the second needs "full-board-awareness", some focus and consistency. In my correspondence games I am doing decent, it just seems my blunder rate also increased a little there. I am a little worried that I might miss pretty obvious things in longer games if I play like that.

Yup. Not going to participate F2Ps ever.
That business model needs to under serious changes or it might be something that dies in a couple of years.

Man how do these 3d modelers bake normals into their textures? I know they don't always draw them on the texture itself so what's the deal..?

tf2 is both one of the originals, and one of the ones that still does it well, since it focuses on exceedingly-rare cosmetics instead of anything that could actually affect gameplay

on the flipside, it might also be accidental when it comes to custom weapons, because 95% of unlocks you get in that game are completely worthless compared to their standard counterparts anyways

If you're gonna stretch out and crowd fund a fake trailer, it still needs to be a real movie not just a hodge podge of totally radical 80s themed ideas. See the Grindhouse trailers made into real movies: Hobo with a Shotgun, Machete and Machete Kills.

I had piano music coming from no apparent tab, until I realized that this "Streamus" chrome app I installed long ago randomly is playing some

So I've been pretty inactive due to mutual issues and disagreements, but I'm looking to try head back to my scene's PM weekly next week. (There's one tonight, but I can't go).

The road has been bumpy, and I've ran out of gas multiple times, but I still gotta make my destination.

Yeah it felt a bit disappointing, like it was a half assed pilot for a show pitch (or a college film with a bigger budget).
Tbh I just wish they cut out some of the f bombs for more silly one liners. edit: Mostly because it felt really immersion breaking. Especially Hitler saying it.
