Good question!

The Tetris board is 10 x 20, while a chess board is only 8 x 8. Although if you ever place two chess boards next to each other by accident, you'll have to buy another, so be careful.

I have a new favorite comic now

After playing online for a while, every time I go back to a real life board, I feel blind! It's an adjustment.

I've been thinking of hitting up a local chess club at a bar too and will probably have the same problem.

I visualize it the same way

I'm such a slow player. I feel like I'm learning a lot from daily games, but I've also been trying to do blitz lately to practice openings over and over.

She's so mean to him. Lol

They were clearly going for a McCoy/Spock dynamic, but they forgot to also make it clear that they care about each other and just don't want to admit it.

Little known fact: all discarded Tetris pieces are used to build chess boards.

I post a lot of acquired memes around Lemmy, and it's a serious dilemma when I see one that's really funny but has a spelling/grammar mistake, because I know the comments are going to tear it to shreds.

My god

Oh interesting, I'll have to remember this one.

Why do I see Wesley with a filter on the left?

The one after that is a classic too! "Is There No Truth In Beauty?"

It's the 2nd episode guest starring Diana Muldaur (a fan favorite, and Dr. Pulaski in TNG), as Dr. Miranda Jones this time.

Season 3 is where I noticed in my last rewatch that they really dial it up like they were desperate to keep the audience interested. So many love interests, fight scenes, and experimental camera-work. Apparently they also had their budget slashed and one less day to finish each episode.

There are some great episodes in S3, but there are also a few that I wonder what the hell they were thinking, lol.

A thousand? At the rate AI is improving, I wouldn't be surprised to see this start to change in my lifetime!

I bet the big one is going to be something like younger audiences being uncomfortable with any classic shows/movies that show meat-eating. Whatever our blindspot is, it'll have to be something that largely flies under our radar right now.

They produce a lot of elevator-centric content.

_{It was in my script.}

I mean, no problem!

It definitely has to be viewed through the lens of its time, just like our current media will be viewed in another 60 years. At its time, it was relentlessly progressive. You can often pick up on the things that they wanted to do, but couldn't, or things that they still had a blindspot for. My family and I will be watching it and every so often laugh at something so over-the-top and remember "oh right, it was the 60s".

All that aside, it still competes with TNG for my #1 Trek. The characters and their chemistry is top notch, and it's so much fun to watch them play off each other. TOS has had a long-lasting cultural impact and it's the reason that we're all here talking in this small fan community nearly 60 years later. I love it.
