-Some people love to ask for a draw when I am clearly winning (lol)

Anyway, if you see me out there, know that I’ll probably hang my queen, but I’m still determined to get toward 1000 and eventually learn some better board vision.

I found a couple funny observations in my journey of the low-rated chess community.
-The uglier the board you play with, the more likely I am to lose to you
-People with Magnus or Hikaru in their handles are usually terrible
-Some people just have no chill. I’ve had to block dozens of users so far.

all the dumb stuff, lol. I have come a long way though. Started at 700, immediately dropped into the mid 100s 🫣 then climbed my way back up. It’s fun, but frustrating to be stuck.

Over the past year, I’ve been trying to get better at Chess, with the modest goal of getting to 1000 rapid rating. (Currently stuck in mid 700s). It’s funny, because I watch some of the Gotham Chess game reviews, and it just seems so obvious, but I choke during games (tunnel vision, hanging pieces),

Looking forward to waking up tomorrow to find my retirement savings wiped out.

Can also show in flat-list mode, too. Great for finding items

Nice little UI discovery inside Houdini today. I've been looking for quite awhile for a hierarchy view for object-level assemblies. Turns out the rig tree is capable of this - and even smart enough to filter out non-transformable nodes.

At the moment it looks like just US operations are affected. But, as a whole, Technicolor appears to be in bad financial shape. So, maybe a matter of time, but not currently the end of Technicolor.

Damn, sounds like all US Technicolor brands (Mill, MPC) are shutting down next week. ☹️
