@icedquinn
How far did you get?

@LukeAlmighty to where it said the numbers had to add to 25, then i got the joke and left

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty I died on rule 24, because I overfed the emoji chicken I had to take care of

@Pantsu @LukeAlmighty alright i guess i'll look up a gameplay video

@Pantsu @icedquinn
How did you get over the geoguesser?

@LukeAlmighty @icedquinn I was 90% sure straight away and then I just read the streetname I was on

I think I've seen other people get to here

@djsumdog @icedquinn @LukeAlmighty Can’t see the whole thread, what’s the URL?

I swear this is going to make me punt an infant child into active highway traffic, or I’m grossly misunderstanding the syntax: I try “g3 d3”, “Rd3”, “Rd3#”, and so on, and I only get ‘invalid notation’ or ‘illegal move’. I assume there’s a bug with this specific situation, or I’m overlooking something.

@arcanicanis @icedquinn @djsumdog @LukeAlmighty @Flick Check notation is with +.

Yes, I had retried it again later today, and got past it with another board layout, where I tried +, although I thought that situation would have been checkmate. Got past the chess puzzle, completed a few more, and gave up at step 24. Now I feel an itch to maybe poke around with CTF puzzles/competitions again.

@arcanicanis @djsumdog @LukeAlmighty @Marko @Flick paul was overfed

Here, go forth and do [fictional] computer crimes instead, for something to dump even more hours into: https://overthewire.org/wargames/ https://www.wechall.net/ https://ctftime.org/event/list/

@arcanicanis @djsumdog @LukeAlmighty @Marko @Flick eh i finished up some tachyon squadron stuff.

@LukeAlmighty Near desert island, that's going to take a while.

@lanodan
I had to brute-force from a complete country list :D

@LukeAlmighty Found it via a sign, thanks Europe for the bunch of different languages, "Paukščiai" (Bird) is from Lithuanian.

@LukeAlmighty tfw I know how algebraic chess notation works but I'm awful at chess.

@lanodan @LukeAlmighty Qh8+ I think

@xarvos @LukeAlmighty Computer says no :(

@lanodan @LukeAlmighty i got fewer pieces on that one so i brute forced 🤪

@lanodan @LukeAlmighty @xarvos knight f6

@2ch @LukeAlmighty @xarvos Somehow it also says no (Nf6+ as in Knight to F6, check).

@lanodan @LukeAlmighty @xarvos oh, rook f6 then, they're both winning either way

@2ch @LukeAlmighty @xarvos Oh right, that's a legal move.
And it says it's the best one.

@2ch @LukeAlmighty @xarvos Shit… it was either the fire or the egg…

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club lmao, that's the Dutchman's cap I'm pretty sure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dutchman%27s_Cap_(Lithuania)

@ignaloidas @LukeAlmighty yup
I used this sign even

@ignaloidas @LukeAlmighty lol, it's just a cliff with a beach but somehow from that quick Google FPS view had small island near the coast that's dedicated to animals vibes.

@Free_Idealist How?

@LukeAlmighty I think the best move there is Ne7, because then it's Qxg8#. Assuming it's white to move.

@Free_Idealist
The game disagrees :D

@LukeAlmighty That's because I'm retarded, sorry. Try Nh8.

@Free_Idealist "Nh8+"
Nice... I quit though... I just learned about Paul :D

@Free_Idealist
Today, I learned, that chess notation is the most retarded system ever immagined by humans.

Any move (except for the cheats) could be categorized by a set of 2 points. So why does this shit even have to exist?

@LukeAlmighty Because very often multiple pieces can move to a given point. It's just as thorough as possible, really. Also, I fucked up and will not be continuing.

@Free_Idealist
That is exactly, why I say, that the system is retarded though.

Point A to point B is always precise.

@LukeAlmighty @Free_Idealist
The purpose of the system is to completely describe the move so that it is comprehensible without ever seeing a board, or even the complete move list.
