So, our kids are neurodivergent and we learned this year that their school really isn’t able to teach them There’s a larger school in a nearby town that has teachers that our kids love and who are able to teach them There’s just one problem and that’s why we put this up ko-fi.com/therookthera...

Hard for this team to be good vibes when this keeps happening

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

We’ve posted a new #gamedev devlog video to Patreon and YouTube YT: youtube.com/playlist?lis... Patreon: patreon.com/therookthera...

We keep trying to record Rook’s #outerwilds playthrough and I think it’s a cursed project. First recording session, we started too late at night and Rook started nodding off Second recording session, the cord on our camera was apparently dying throughout the session, so the video is super choppy

I really need more applications on this, please!

An earthquake tried to gaslight me 😅 2nd floor of our apt building noticeably shook for ~10 seconds 🫨, but absolutely nothing felt on the 3rd floor 🫥 I was alone on the 2nd floor, and nobody believed me 😭 Until I remembered that earthquake tracking websites exist! 6.2 - 10km away Vindicated! 😁

We’ve been so heads’ down for the past year or so, working on our YT channel and game, that we’ve largely forgotten about social media But now that we have things to share, we have to start from scratch to figure out where people actually are nowadays What platforms have nerdy communities now?

First chess.com game in a while and it’s comforting to know that some things never change

As a beginner *theoretically* facing comparably-skilled opponents, it is so discouraging to lose nearly every game I play. I would expect the margin of error to be razor thin at the higher levels, but as someone low ranked who only started playing a couple months ago, this is exhausting

Today’s chess.com vent post includes 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses… can you guess which one was the draw?

As I look back through all of these posts, one thing that stands out to me is that I’m actually consistently playing a lot better than it feels like I am I may not win most of my games, but I’m obviously making my opponent work for their win

Coming back to our YouTube channel after a short break, I was surprised to see that we are only ~40 subscribers away from hitting 1k! Anyone not already subscribed willing to help push us over the top? youtube.com/@therookther...

Just can’t catch a break 😤

Good news to my EU followers! I have reopened shipping to the EU courtesy of Corvo Cattivo’s services.

Since this is apparently what it takes to maintain rank in the 500’s bracket… this is quickly changing from a fun way to pass the time into a full-time job as a chess student 😰

Every game as a now-500s ELO on chess.com — maybe someday I will be able to play every game at a 1500 level so I can advance back up to the 600s bracket

I won one!! Oh happy day 😅

First game of a new day! 😭 Is anyone else seeing this or do I have some kind of Wheatonesque curse?!

Even when I have an exceptional game as a 500s ELO, my opponent has an even more exceptional one 😣

I’m just documenting it at this point. I did have a single game today against an at-level opponent that was a lot of fun, but now we’re back to busted

What makes it so frustrating is that based on the game review, more often than not, I’m playing well above my rating, but in order to raise (or even just maintain) my ELO I literally have to play 2.5x-3x my actual skill level in practically every game I play 😖
