Queen/Rook fork: β
Discovered attack on Queen: β
Blundering mate in 2: β
I'm not good enough to spot mate sequences more than a couple of moves in advance, but I was specifically looking for this knight sacrifice.
I am playing Chess exclusively for fun (no studying at all unless you count watching some @GothamChess content), but it still feels good to reach a new peak ELO on https://t.co/Ol75wpSM3z.
927. Still bad, but slightly less bad.
Still chipping away at 5.8b XP in @RuneScape, only 800m left!
However, if I somehow manage to get an invite to the @EQ_Legends closed beta starting on the 24th, this grind will be getting back burnered in a hurry.
I learned to play Chess when I was a kid, but hadn't played in decades until the algorithm started feeding me @GothamChess content, so I picked it up again.
I'm not good, ~900 elo in Rapid, but getting a brilliant from the evaluator is an insane dopamine hit.
Closing in on 5.8b in @RuneScape, but it doesn't get easier from here.
Hunter at 200m, 16/29. Lot of slow skills left. End of May unfortunately not looking realistic.
These 2 achievements were absolutely obnoxious. I'd rather deal with breeding logs or Ports for months than do this again.
Golden and POH statue achievements in @RuneScape complete. Now I can get back to proper skilling.
My 4th 200m skill in @RuneScape for March, Crafting.
15/29
Unfortunately nothing else too close, so might be a bit before the next one. Best get to it!
Let's go, another 200m skill in @RuneScape.
Divination, my 14th out of 29. Almost half way there!
Not sure which will be next, probably Hunter, but maybe Crafting, Dungeoneering or Woodcutting. We'll see!
It always feels good getting skills to 200m in @RuneScape.
Today: Construction, my 13th skill out of 29 to reach 200m. 16 to go.
Divination will be next.
Another one that I'm glad is finished. My 12th skill in @RuneScape to reach 200m: Farming. 17 remain.
I should get 200m Construction and Divination this month, maybe Hunter as well if I have enough play time.
@fruition9249@RuneScape Thank you! I'm close on a few others, Farming (8.5m away), Crafting (11.6m), Agility (15.5m), Dungeoneering (19.7m) and Construction (23m).
Farming will probably be the next 200m, early in March.
Update on my @ClubWPTGold network issues...unfortunately, does seem like it's my PC. I think it doesn't like the interaction between client and location services, but I'm not techie enough to fix it.
I'll play on my phone, which works perfectly.
I can't be the only one having massive network connectivity problems on @ClubWPTGold, to the point that I'm getting timed/folded out of hands multiple times per hour, can I?
Surely this is not a me problem?

Unfortunately, I've been sick for most of January (REALLY sick the last 5 days), but not being able to leave the house gives me the time to grind some @RuneScape.
Firemaking is my 10th out of 29 skills to reach 200m.
Get your flu and COVID boosters, being sick sucks!
I'm back into poker after my hiatus, but I won't be playing live again until Thursday.
I've compiled my stats for 2025, my first full year of poker. Not as good as I'd hoped, but my game is a LOT better than it was a year ago.
Hoping for a good 2026!
@StonkMessiah@ClubWPTGold IDK man, if @DougPolkVids poking his head into a 0.01/0.02 NL HE table and jamming his 50 BB into my TT with A3 counts, then I have! π€£
I had to hit a set to win that pot though, so I think I earned it (read: got lucky for it).
Okay I haven't been playing poker THAT long, but this is the nastiest thing I've ever seen.
Not a gift box prize, but @ClubWPTGold definitely dumped some chips on me.
