    Finally getting into chess. It’s apparently a really old game with a very vibrant community. Such a great hidden gem. 😀

    Aside from that, finishing up Hogwarts Legacy and some short Indies.

      I’ve always wanted to get into chess. I’ve got a friend who’s really good at it, and when my wife was in high school she was in the chess club and was top in the region

        Do it! It’s a lot of fun, but it’s definitely hard.

        Once you know how the pieces move, play some chess puzzles to get better at seeing patterns. I used to be decent (joined a chess club in elementary school), but never really “studied” it in any sense, and my nephew ended up beating me at a family reunion, so I decided to get better. I started watching Gotham Chess on YouTube and learned a ton, but honestly, puzzles and just playing is the best for beginners.
