Non-Gaming Hot Takes

You know.... after the greatest explanation you've gave to this, you are 100% right. I will never forget that chess controversy where folks there for some reason had to bring fucking politics into the situation despite being about CHESS. I do apologize for this later, but yeah, Twitter isnt really the best place to find memes after all.
I'd be the devil's advocate but Chess is a game portraying two armies, war is always politically charged and I'd even dare saying that Chess is also a way to reveal someone's personality (therefore political opinion by extent since it's a part of the opinion prism).

Okay, I do agree that turning everything political in any way gets tiring.

Chess being two armies is a blank slate by this thousands of year later. If I pick the Black army does that make me Pro Erusea? or Picking the white army makes me a supporter of Princess Peach Toadstool?

I agree with the rest though, you need to be able to turn off the politics.

Yeah Twitter sucks as I said , I would say forums like these can breed pretty decent memes.

And discord servers too , idk about that chess controversy never been fan of that game
 
And discord servers too
If you have an appropriately moderated server like mine, then it wouldnt be much of a problem... its a shame that most of the popular ones arent.

Official discords and those with like over 10k members lack that friendly vibe or that authentic feeling , these discords are so firmly moderated it's not even funny , you get muted for the least troubling of things...feels like walking on thin ice! This brings us to moderation and how its done most of what I encountered is honestly utter trash tier moderation getting banned for disagreeing with a mod or some other BS , its why I usually have this disdain for moderators in general I just can't trust em

Who would even want to be with a server with more than ten thousand people anyways? I mostly stick to small communities.....

You are right the smaller the more connected you are to other members , but owning a discord server feels like a troubling and daunting task idk if there is no pay I ain't making or moderating one imagine spending hours moderating some chat log without getting paid that's ENERGY spent doing these tasks energy you get from food you buy.

Well from my experience within my own discord server it really isnt that difficult. Especially since Im only known for my backloggd reviews, there isnt much going on there. Stuff happens once in a while, and while some people can get bored of that and leave, I dont find thar much to be an issue. Its not even going to be my main discord server for when I have more progress with my indie gane which I already have a separate private place that'll be changed and repurpoused in the future.

Hmmm maybe smaller discords are manageable , oh and you making a indie game ?

Yeah I am. However, everything but the programming and the art has been done. I have done character designs for my characters using piceew, and for obivious reasons once I start programming my game, I am hoping that I can find someone to redraw the picrew characters into actual beings with persinality.

What you planning to make the game into? An RPG ?

It's funny how out of all board games that I can play, Chess is the only one I refuse to play seriously.
 
Thank you so much. I would love to show more about it here but right now im leaving to the friends im friends with
Would be really cool maybe amass a team of RGT members and the game you want , guys here seem to understand game design.

ill think about this. But for now I aint recruiting nobody until I get something on my line
 
Is there a reason why?
I gotta admit, I'm the kind of person who likes to use underhanded tactics to win be it in a game or real life, with Chess rules being rigid and practically doesn't involve any sort of mind game, it's just the kind of game that doesn't support my playstyle so to speak.
 
I meant something that I can influence directly, like poker.
I see, that’s a fair assumption then. I’d still argue to the contrary, but I don’t like chess either. I prefer poker even though I’ve rarely played it irl. Although I think I’d enjoy mahjong more.

My tiny reptilian brain can't understand mahjong. It is almost always the truly last challenge between me and 100% completion of all Yakuza games.
