Atari game programmed to know chess moves: knight to B4

Chat-GPT: many Redditors have credited Chesster A. Pawnington with inventing the game when he chased the queen across the palace before crushing the king with a castle tower. Then he became the king and created his own queen by playing “The Twist” and “Let’s Twist Again” at the same time.

Change “PE teacher” to “stack of health magazines” and it’s a more accurate equivalence.

True, I tried parrying my Xbox and it kinda glitched, but then worked just fine. But when I tried water on it, it stopped working at all.

Hard reboots/power cycling are gonna be a real pain in the ass. I suspect that there’s gonna be significant downtimes until they switch from Windows to Linux and then figure out their super space drivers. Considering the millions it costs to launch someone into space, the IT astronaut who has to unplug this and plug it back in is going to be the most expensive tech support/hour ever.

I just reported a question, not because of the content of the question but because the buttons were formatted strangely and clocking on them caused the question to refresh. It was about cassettes vs CDs.

Other than that, this is pretty fucking legit. What a simple, fun, useful tool! And I mean simple as in “easy to explain,” not “easy to make.”

Thank you for sharing!!!

ETA: I just got served either the same question twice (with a different question between each time), or found duplicate questions. If the same question twice, I’d be concerned about individuals skewing results. If a duplicate question is being submitted, it might be helpful (albeit slower) to run word matches against strings and then check the IP address of the submitter (if you record that) on anything with over 90% match and then let that user know they’ve already submitted this question.

Don’t mind if I do! 🍴

Just from the handful of OSs I’ve tried, I’d suggest Ubuntu desktop again.

As for docker, I’d say to get docker and docker compose setup. Once you’re running in docker compose, adding machines is often as simple as editing some markup in a text editor.

But my final suggestion is to crawl before you walk before you run. Start slow in the terminal. Instead of using your file explorer, navigate directories using the terminal and then open the directory you need into the file explorer using the terminal.

Want a new file? Use touch. Want a new directory? Use mkdir. Eventually, it’ll become annoying to open a file from your explorer when you could just open it from the terminal. Then, you’ll get annoyed with text editors and want to reduce your context switches by using vim.

Also, --help is your best friend when trying to figure out commands. You got this! Feel free to send me a message if you wanna chat and have any questions when you’re ready to start dipping your toes. I’m far from an expert, but I’ve made some progress of my own and eventually we might learn a thing or two together.

You’ve described every great physics sim

Some of them give me some real “bring your nephew next time” kinda vibes. I’m not necessarily accusing anyone of anything, they seem like grown men with too many young friends.

You’re not wrong, lol

In the limited time I’ve played, I noticed no bugs. I’m the kind of “player” who tries to break the game or at least the experience. The last time I hopped on was about a year ago, I played for about 2 hours, and everything was flawless.

What I didn’t love is how. much. fucking. time. is. wasted. sitting. on. a. ship. Soooooooooo sloooooooooowwwwwwwww.

If more of the ship mechanics they’ve proposed (sabotage, engineering, repairs) make it into the game, I’ll likely sing a different tune.

For the most part, the game feels like a very very interactive waiting room before the actual gameplay loads.

Personal note: I’m annoyed to no end that you can drink soda cans, crush them, and throw them, but no one ever reacts when you hit them with one and no one trips on them. My priorities are peculiar but consistent.

That’s a very fair point!

All that being said, it’s a pretty fun game, kinda cool that it’s always evolving, and I’m not upset that I paid $45 to enjoy the gameplay I’ve had. The people who regularly play it seem a little skeezy, though, so that part kinda sucks…

Eggs are still expensive, sacrifice more!!!

I assume so you can throw them just like in the game

Oh, then yes! Reform the shit out of it!

Goes to jail: yes

For 27 years: I’d prefer something more like 27 days

Comes out to a reform: I might need some educating on this

Becomes president: it would be an improvement

I prefer if he gets Nelson Mandela’d

Maybe I did

I put it in all my cars! I use it to write all my emails! I sprinkle it on my cereal and eat it for breakfast!
