Go Memes! 🧐

Like most of my memes, my last one was a bit sarcastic and insincere.

I think both chess and go are great games. I was even a real chess fiend during my errant youth, although I’ve lost interest in chess these days.

I feel like this comic is a metaphor for my go playing style

Somehow I get things to work out sometimes, but my technique isn’t quite right, terribly inefficient, and leaves my head in a dizzy.

Let’s start a new meme thread, this topped out.

I thought it was immediately clear from teh crookid riting that it was self-ironic

Forgive me for being thick, but I don’t get this:

Yeah, I recognize SpongeBob (though I’ve only seen one or two episodes, and probably not even the whole episode(s)), but … I don’t get it. Yeah, I’m that blonde guy to whom you have to explain e-ve-ry joke

We, the humans, play shallow games such as Checkers, Chess and Go.

SpongeBob and Patrick, who are apparently gods, play this mind-blowing game: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PnUoTL_xtWI

I thought I could let it go, but I can’t…
I don’t get it.

It’s a “flying boat” (Sandringham). No wheels and that is a very real, hard runway.

So the plane is awesome but not ideal to the particular situation!

Bottom line though; If a joke or meme needs explaining then it’s a flop.

Gia · February 2, 2020, 9:08am

Absolutely not! It’s art; a good meme makes us feel things, but some of us need a refined, sophisticated curator to open our mind to the complexities of beauty.

I feel educated.

This sound exactly like my outlook as well. I really enjoyed chess when I was younger. When I found out about other abstract games, I began to love a great number of games and spread my time around.

Ever since I found Shogi, I don’t really even consider Chess a real option anymore. Ever since I found Go, I rarely play Shogi. But I think about it a great deal and keep pushing myself to make time for it

Apparently I missed the point of the meme originally. I just thought the brain was MAXIMALLY STIMULATED by Spongebob in general

Seems to be too big to compress into a thumbnail, woops

Mulsiphix1 · February 3, 2020, 6:04pm

I do not understand. I’ve not played much 7x7 though. Perhaps this would be evident if I had. Sorry bugcat. I’m too curious not to ask.

Gia · February 3, 2020, 6:08pm

I think it’s a corner.

If it’s 7x7 I missed even the basics.

Bray · February 3, 2020, 7:30pm

I’m completely lost on this one.

yebellz · February 3, 2020, 7:37pm

Haven’t you heard that go strength is directly related to wingspan? And pro players are secretly pterosaurs disguised as people.

Eugene · February 3, 2020, 9:50pm

Yeah. Even so. What does it mean?

Gia · February 3, 2020, 10:22pm

I’ll open up myself to forum-wide slaughter, but I thought it was a joseki-based joke. That’s as far as I got.

DVbS78rkR7NVe · February 3, 2020, 10:24pm

Pigeon represents a sacrifice which is symbolic for this joseki.
