I’m so nostalgic for it. I played it over and over on the SNES Mario All Stars cartridge.

Maybe I click-baited you!

But in all seriousness, I go back and forth with putting anything in the body that I want people to read. I think it’s a separate click in some apps, because frequently people go straight to the comments and will ask about something that the body text answers.

If you run for office on that platform, you have my vote.

I don’t know if it was the same people, but it definitely felt like a spiritual successor!

Haha, sorry - I just assumed everyone had heard of this wonderful nightmare! Like the other commenter said, it’s called “Getting Over It”. It has cool narration as you’re playing - you’ll fall down and then get a talk about overcoming failure.

Good luck!

So many times…

Oh no, it’s completely free to play. What I meant was that when a game is over, the winning player gains rating points and the losing player loses rating points, proportional to the rating difference between them.

Since I had lost that game, I lost rating (elo) points. But, since the system recognized that it was against a cheater, which isn’t fair, it gave me the points back when they banned him so that my rating would be unaffected.

It’s the rating system for competitive gaming that was originally developed for chess, but has since been applied to all sorts of gaming, sports, etc. sometimes you might even hear people refer to a game’s matchmaking rating as “elo”, even it’s not called that.

Also, fun fact: it’s not an acronym, it’s a guy’s name:

Funny story time:

I had someone cheat against me the other day (without me realizing it, because I don’t have the game sense to tell), then offer a draw in a clearly winning position. I guess they were trying to avoid detection, but I decided that I didn’t want their handout, declined the draw offer, and resigned.

The system immediately flagged them as cheating and refunded my elo, so I guess all’s well that ends well.

Picard opened with the Amar: Krazy Kat variation and the dog couldn’t help himself.

(I had no idea this opening existed. I just googled, assuming there had to be one with “cat” in the name)

It’s ok, we’re two steps past them now. I think we’re safe.

Holy hell

O-O-O-O-O-O#

Jesus christ, lol

They’re going to tell me to google something. I can feel it.

Why aren’t we fixing this?!

Did I just get whooshed by your previous comment? Lol

Looks like Tony Hawk has 4 kids, and I think this is the oldest one (32).
