#Shatranj al-Kabir Thread (historical #Chess variant) Rewriting this thread
Thanks to Moon, we on SPC now have the ability to display chess boards using custom emojis, as follows:

I did not, however, design these pieces for use with standard chess. I did make accomodations for standard chess: these pieces certainly can be used for standard chess. However, they were designed primarily for a medieval persian variant of shatranj (predecessor of chess) which uses a much larger 11x10 board, and which has a number of extra pieces. All of the emoji names for these pieces start with “:shatranj_”

@augustus It blows my mind how only a decade ago we had people openly protesting gay marriage to now where it's taboo to hint that you find gays disgusting, even among right-wing Christians. It's the new norm. The tranny thing is on a whole 'nother level though. I certainly had no idea such a thing existed at the time. Where the fuck did all these people come from???
Since twitch banned it, here is a bit of contraband.

FUCK YOU GITHUB AND YOUR FUCKING SJW BULLSHIT!!! I just spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out why a CircleCI config that I've been using for the last dozen projects suddenly wouldn't work with my latest. I had it filtering for branch "master" but fucking github now calls the branch "main" on all new projects.
