I was surprised it was that high, since a significant amount of those have been spent in aircraft and on ships on the other side of the world. But that's the magic of modern satcom, I guess.
It is a bit surreal to have been born in a time before the, non-research, Internet and now to live in a time where almost everyone has access to The Network from anywhere inside the Earth's first 2 Lagrangian points. I don't think the Mars Relay Network is directly connected to the public Internet so no Internet on Mars, yet (coming soon, pre-order now.)
Absent a major catastrophe this will likely be the default state of humanity going forward. Not having data will eventually seem as odd as living without electricity or plumbing.
I quit playing for like a year after I hit the high score there, I wasted way too much time on it. For all I played I should've been higher really, for a couple of years anyway.
I did mostly 30 minute games, 10 minute ones aren't enough time for me, but I played a lot of those too. They both qualify as "rapid" now if I recall, at first they were different scoring for ratings. The chess tournaments they have like hours for the traditional games.

Playing chess every day is probably good for your brain

True. Hopefully cancels out a lot of the negative stuff in my life, with net zero as a result.

My current streak for
spider solitaire is 2416. I like spider solitaire and assume you probably like chess. Better than doom scrolling I think.

I never learned any form of solitaire other than the one that came with Win 3.1

Freecell is good, same with Fourty Thieves and Spider Solitaire.

Spider's decent

I'm sorry to object to your post, but how would playing chess qualify as being dull?
(and congrats, btw ;)

What is your rating? On chess.com I got up to 1649, then fell back down, hardly play lately.
neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 200d
Fluxuates between 1100 and 1300. I mostly play 10min, plus a lot of 3min.

I love chess, but I have a terrible ELO because I get anxious when playing online and can't think straight.
I only play puzzles on lichess really, due to this.

So you must be pretty good by now.

I always miss days and it's not very forgiving. I'm at 1000 days of using the app, but my daily streak is currently... 5 days lol
aeronmelon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 201d
I guess that means you like chess. :)
I’m pretty sure my dad played FreeCell for, like, eight years consecutively at one point.

Why does the image show FSSMT for the days, you’re playing just those days a week and not 7 or they just use a weird graphic?
neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 200d
Probably just shows the previous 5.

Ah cool, interesting
