As someone who's also an Oxboxtra fan, seeing someone making cocktails having a vague clue what they're doing feels odd.

Watching the second episode of the new season of Ted Lasso and who is in the media scrum?

SULLIVAN BEAU BROWN!!

i’ve been on a botc kick lately and i’d love recs for episodes i should watch! im on the patreon so i’ve seen both seasons of legacy, all of s3, and some of s2 and s4 so far, plus some of the online episodes

not a huge fan of terror in teensyville bc i prefer the games with slightly larger casts

I just finished the unbearable madness of being and it was INCREDIBLE it was so funny so something with a similar vibe would be great

also if there’s any games with an atheist id love to watch them!! sullivan was drunk as the atheist in one i watched and it was really fun to see

Crazy Chess is a fan-made chess variant created by Jonas Nordlie, that heavily changes normal chess rules to create a more chaotic and tactical game.

The game keeps the standard chessboard and most normal pieces, but introduces several major twists:

1. Inverse pawns

Pawns move diagonally and capture straight ahead instead of the normal way.

2. Queen penalty

If you move your queen, you must skip your next turn.

3. No new Queens

If your queen is captured, you can never get another one through promotion.

4. Red-square capture mechanic (Kings are immune to this mechanic)

Six special red squares in the center allows players to remove enemy pieces without moving, as long as both pieces are on red squares.(You can not move any pices the turn you use this mechanic)

5. Checker-piece promotion

Pawns can promote into a special checker piece from the game Checkers that captures by jumping diagonally over enemy pieces and can chain capture in the same turn,it can either move one diagonal square or capture but you may not move any other pieces this turn if you do this!

6. Queen death compensation

Losing your queen lets you place a new pawn on any empty square.(Yes any empty square)

The result is a version of chess where standard habits become dangerous, and players constantly have to remember unusual movement and capture rules. It mixes ideas from traditional chess with elements of games like checkers and the mind of a mad man with insomnia

Final Effect

The game becomes hard to “solve” because:

• every strategy creates a weakness,
• and another rule is designed to attack that weakness.

Final Core Idea

Normal Chess

Players try to:

• reduce chaos
• create stable advantages
• discover the strongest systems

Crazy Chess

The rules constantly:

• interrupt optimization
• punish over commitment
• destabilize dominant plans

So the game becomes balanced not because every rule is equal

but because every rule stops another strategy from becoming “the correct way to play.”

Have fun :-D
