“What all this shows is that it is unlikely chess has a significant impact on overall cognitive ability. So while it might sound like a quick win – that a game of chess can improve a broad range of skills – unfortunately this is not the case.“

This is the most deranged shit…
The game was ArcheAge.
This is the line the victim said to the attacker once the attacker was subdued:
Leeper quipped that his only answer to Kang was: “It will be a long time before you play video games.”
The detail I was interested in:
“The plea deal required Assange to admit guilt to a single felony count but also permitted him to return to Australia without any time in an American prison. The judge sentenced him to the five years he’d already spent behind bars in the U.K. fighting extradition to the U.S. on an Espionage Act indictment that could have carried a lengthy prison sentence in the event of a conviction. He was holed up for seven years before that in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
The conclusion enables both sides to claim a degree of satisfaction.”
I disagree with how benevolent this infographic paints wasps. Wasps bad. Wasps very bad.
At first I read it as “y’all Mexicans” and was a lil confused
A more surreal movie then I was expecting. Very enjoyable

YOU’RE DOING QUADRATICS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?’
I shouldn’t be commenting here, but I will. I haven’t played Earthbound yet, but it’s one of the retro games I’m most looking forward to (besides FF6).
The music is so charming and the aesthetic is legendary.
That’s all I’ve got.
Pretty cool intro for a charismatic baddie
I can’t believe they’re still pumping out updates for ORCT. Absolute legends
I love it here but have one gripe… I can’t play videos in-app. (Maybe it’s just my app’s problem, but it’s a bummer for me.)
Lemmy is entertainment / social media for me, and I’d like to have something like Reddit’s TiktokCringe sub here. I don’t like Reddit and I don’t like Tiktok, but I do like funny videos that are presented to me because people think they are funny rather than because Youtube’s algo thinks it’ll boost an advertiser’s clout. Playing video without having to open another app would be nice.
Beyond that, I love it here. Conversations can actually happen here and I’ve even met people on Lemmy and continued to chat with them outside of the platform on other apps — I’ve never had that happen on any other social media. So cool.
We sometimes play an improv game called “1-2-3 WORD”.
The goal is to get 2 players to shout the same word at the same time. Best if played in a group of 3 or more, but the bigger the group, the better.
You start the game someone throwing out a word for inspiration (ex: “pizza”).
To play the game, two players next to each other face each other and simultaneously shout “1-2-3 {WORD}”, where {WORD} is the word/phrase which first comes to mind when each player thinks of the inspiration word (“pizza”).
If the 2 players happen to shout the same {WORD}, the game ends. If the 2 players each say a different {WORD}, play moves clockwise 1 position to the next player and the new inspiration are the {WORDS} which the prior 2 players said. You may not reuse words previously said.
It is a very quick game that can be played on car trips and usually gets a laugh when you finally get a pair that says the same word. It’s also helpful to go AS FAST AS YOU CAN in saying the words. The idea behind the game is to get in sync with the other players so you’re all starting to think alike.
Example: Players - 4 Inspiration word - PIZZA
Player 1 & Player 2 face off: P1 word - “Cheese!” P2 word - “Dominoes!”
Words don’t match, so next round begins: Inspiration words - CHEESE and DOMINOES
P2 word - “Bread sticks!” P3 word - “Board games!” (because “dominoes isnt just a pizza company, it’s also a board game and that very well could be a conclusion someone could draw from the inspiration words)
Words don’t match, so next round begins: Inspiration words - BREADSTICKS and BOARD GAMES
P3 word - “Game night!” P4 word - “Game night!”
Words match, so the game ends!
It usually takes MUCH longer than 3 rounds to match up (unless siblings are facing off - it’s best to separate close friends so the game doesn’t end too early).
