    You know what’s worse than chess? Poker. In real life, if you go up to someone and show them a royal flush, they don’t just give you money. Plus two kings would have way more power than three “twos” (which, by the way, should be the same value as one six. Can the designers of this game not even do basic math?) Totally unrealistic, 0/10.

    REDDIT MOMENT!

    We’ve gone beyond “I need to play Chess so people think I’m smart” to “Chess is for idiots”, and how many people will start thinking the same way because the government approved Smart GuyTM said so?

    Just say you prefer video games because it makes it easier to suspend your disbelief, and has more things to do. No one will judge you for that, not even me. Hell, I’d agree with you, I wish that some video games were given more intellectual credibility.

      I’m pretty sure a lot of credulous bazingas started buying into le epic Polytopia so they could feel big brained and enlightened too.

    Chess is for nerds. Video games are for nerds. Real men chase barrel hoops with sticks and get tetanus from playing around the abandoned car in the junkyard

      Science is about dumping resources into a science meter that fills up until you get a science discovery. galaxy-brain

      Similarly, to get the Science Victory, you can abandon pretty much all quality of life concerns about a civilization and let it all burn while the USS Bazinga is on its way to Alpha Centauri. so-true

    There are winning moves that are so complicated in the sequences that they open or force that it seems like blunders to humans, it’s so hard to see winning moves

    chess is too simple game

    It’s remarkable how stupid this man is. A better evidence for the fact that meritocracy under capitalism isn’t real than this blood-diamond-dipshit doesn’t exist. also iirc “meritocracy” itself was literally coined as a satire term to make you laugh at the (I think british?) MPs being in leadership positions while blatantly being the most dumbass incompetent and vain people on the planet; but then the same people it was criticizing did what they did to “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps”

      “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps”

      That was originally (and correctly) seen as an absurd and impossible task, something like squeezing blood from a stone. But then proto-chuds grabbed onto it tight.
