Since this seems to have become a public referendum upon the chess content of my lichess streams, I feel I should mention a few points in my defense.
First off, I was initially terrible with essentially every technical aspect of internet streaming. Hours would be spent trying to adjust OBS settings, tweak monitor resolutions, replace suddenly melted graphics cards, etc, and I suppose it's possible that once in awhile I would occasionally forget to change the stream title. However, most of these mishaps were several months ago, and I think it would be fair to say that there's been a great deal of improvement since. I mean, yes, I'm still besieged by ants and occasionally someone in the channel buys me takeout food from a place five miles away and I have to interrupt the stream to bike there and back, but these are isolated incidents.
In spite of some fanciful claims to contrary above, I suspect that over the last few months one would be hard pressed to find a featured stream of mine which was anything less than 90% (possibly even 91%) chess, and that ape is grossly mistaken with his "90% non-chess" comment, unless he means my streams in general and not those specifically intended for
lichess.org, in which case, well, OK, then he's probably about right. That said, if the required chess content of my stream needs be 100% or above, I can do that.
In summation, with the American Football season being over and the city of Arcata recently forbidding "Ritual Goat Sacrifice Fridays", I feel I am now ready to redouble my efforts to provide lichess with the most mathematically impossible percentage of chess content available anywhere on the internet. I know mistakes have been made in past, and I publicly ask forgiveness for straying off the path of chessic righteousness. I have transgressed, but with your help perhaps I can overcome my weakness for Hearthstone, LoxBall, and Fish Betting Simulators and once again return to
lichess.org and the joys of coordinate trainer, atomic chess, and reading the forums out loud in silly voices(1).
Sincerely,
- Zug
(1) I can also not do that if you'd prefer.
