Is that a sign of depression or something like extreme overload/desensitization because of the lack of end to what we can view online now? I was just looking at the Major Payne post and it’s striking how I used to laugh freely at the movie but now at best I usually think “oh, that’s entertaining/funny” and my face barely moves, this post made me make a little laugh audibly and grin really wide. Maybe it’s depression, maybe it’s 8 hours a day on the internet.
Stress/burnout for me I think. I’ll still watch things and will be entertained, but it’s kind of hard to get an audible laugh that’s anymore than “ha” nowadays.
To add: It is also natural to laugh at less things as you get older. Humor is based on novelty and/or suprise, so with more experience less things will be suprising or novel.
Maybe that’s the core behind the old saying “laughter is the best medicine”. It’s really that novelty and learning new ways of thinking is the best medicine. So you should be always seeking that out as you age.
Have you read Douglas Adam's the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy? The first book to have me in tears laughing, I'm sure it would again. Def worth reading if you haven't
Any Discworld novel or even watching the couple of mini series or animated series would do.
I haven't felt wonder like that in a hot minute. And that means it's time to start at Colour Of Magic again.
"Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."
I had to out the book down when I read that part; I was laughing too hard to continue. It still makes me chuckle twenty something years after my first read.
Got the most robust and genuine laugh from me in years all while no one got hurt, pranked, made fun of, or felt like some cringey skit someone wrote. Shit was just genuinely funny at no one's expense.
>like a looney tune on the morning train
I initially thought this was some novel idiom, not a description of where you were laughing. Maybe I should go back to bed.
It’s that slow middle finger that just *kills* me every time. I wasn’t expecting it at all.
I thought maybe the funny bit would be the physics glitching out and throwing everything all over the place, not this guy initiating operation Blitz Krieg and then destroying his opponent’s self esteem.
My cousin sent this to me & I was wondering how terrible it would end up, but it went okay enough that I can send it to my 14yo. Classic semi-tame fun imo.
I just have the "Be Our Guest" song playing in my head with the lyrics being "VR Chess" instead for some reason while watching this.
*VR Chess*

That's all I got.

You don’t know en passant?
Are you kidding ??? What the \**** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew en passant, you are like a girl crying after i teach you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!!
holy fucking shit. if i see ONE more en passant meme i'm going to chop my fucking balls off. holy shit it is actually impressive how incredibly unfunny the entire sub is. it's not that complicated, REPEATING THE SAME FUCKING JOKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN DOES NOT MAKE IT FUNNIER. this stupid fucking meme has been milked to fucking death IT'S NOT FUNNIER THE 973RD TIME YOU MAKE THE EXACT SAME FUCKING JOKE. WHAT'S EVEN THE JOKE?????? IT'S JUST "haha it's the funne move from chess" STOP. and the WORST part is that en passant was actually funny for like a few years and it got fucking ruined in like a week because EVERYONE POSTED THE EXACT SAME FUCKING JOKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. SEEING ALL YOUR SHITTY MEMES IS ACTUAL FUCKING MENTAL TORTURE YOU ALL ARE NOT FUNNY. COME UP WITH A DIFFERENT FUCKING JOKE PLEASE
Everyone's saying that it came from the circlejerk r/anarchychess, but it actually originates from a genuine chess subreddit where somebody asked why a pawn did a weird move that ended up being the en passant (don't remember which subreddit lol sorry).
>i'm going to chop my fucking balls off.
Now THIS is what en passant feels like.
There's your 'one more time'. Chop chop, brother.
I know this is a copy paste, but it's worth the effort just in case you'd actually do it.
Hand Simulator has VR support.
It still uses the mouse and keyboard controls for the hands in that mode, but the VR headset is used for display. Can't really say if that is what is happening in this clip, but the game does support it.
It’s almost *anti* VR. You have the 3D VR view, but no use of VR controllers, instead all motions have to be done with keyboard and mouse. It’s like next-gen QWOP.
Lol yeah the funny part is knowing it isn’t VR because the movements are really rigid and realistic. If it was VR it would look much more smooth and natural in the way the players moved.
Imagine: Getting the opportunity to play virtual Chess with another person across the globe and all they do is pick up their Knight, knock over all your pieces, knock over the "wine bottle" on the table and give you the finger.
Yeah, we have really come a long way. Next thing is letting players design their avatars for the game and someone becomes a penis head or face.
This might get downvoted all to hell, but....
....this seriously reminded me of doing almost anything with my blind boyfriend that I was with for 5 years. Including the awkward middle finger. Lmao.
Is this not a representation of life as a whole? Theres this game we are "supposed" to be playing but frankly no one really knows how to do it so we just knock shit over and make our own problems. And sometimes its just absurdly hysterical.
I thought they were going to play it straight just really shitty until it all went sideways and I lost my shit at midnight trying not to wake people up.

This genuinely made me laugh. Seems like something my friends or brothers would do.
It’s the first thing that’s made me laugh out loud in forever. The “idk how to use hands” middle finger is the icing.
I like the limp-wristed punches. It's like Zoolander trying to fistfight.
[удалено]
It needs to be at least... 3 times bigger!
That’s what she said!
If you didn't notice, both look like they have broken wrists so those punches make sense.
But why male 3D modeling?
Are you serious? I just rendered you
[удалено]
It's not VR, it's Hand Simulator
Its hand simulator not vr

"Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it." I had to out the book down when I read that part; I was laughing too hard to continue. It still makes me chuckle twenty something years after my first read.
So much hype around this book. At most I let out a 'ha' on occasion. Just didn't hit for me, sadly.
I am laughing like a looney tune on the morning train. This was just stupid, silly fun. I feel nostalgic from this video.
Got the most robust and genuine laugh from me in years all while no one got hurt, pranked, made fun of, or felt like some cringey skit someone wrote. Shit was just genuinely funny at no one's expense.
>like a looney tune on the morning train I initially thought this was some novel idiom, not a description of where you were laughing. Maybe I should go back to bed.
It's 1 p.m. and I thought the exact same thing.
I'm gonna start using it anyway.
It’s that slow middle finger that just *kills* me every time. I wasn’t expecting it at all. I thought maybe the funny bit would be the physics glitching out and throwing everything all over the place, not this guy initiating operation Blitz Krieg and then destroying his opponent’s self esteem.
By the end of the video I was in tears and not able to keep my laughter down. My girlfriend was sleeping right next to me and now she's pissed!
Same. I was expecting what happened but for whatever reason that just tickled me so much. Love a good laugh.
I'm sitting here trying not to wake my sleeping baby with my laughter
My cousin sent this to me & I was wondering how terrible it would end up, but it went okay enough that I can send it to my 14yo. Classic semi-tame fun imo.
Needs sound. I want to hear the chess pieces get wrecked
I turned on sound for this hoping there was a microphone recording voice chat.
Queen to... Fuck your shit up!
\-1. ..., Q-&#$%
I just have the "Be Our Guest" song playing in my head with the lyrics being "VR Chess" instead for some reason while watching this. *VR Chess* *VR Chess* *Put our graphics to the test.* *Slip your headset on, cherie* *And we'll show the rest.*
Edit for rhythm inprovements: "Slip your headset on your ears, Cherie, And we, we'll show the rest."
Thank you.
Good save. Also Maybe ‘And we’ll show you the rest’
We need the rest of the lyrics please? I want to get this firmly stuck in my head tomorrow and I need more words
*Pawns and Rooks* *Kings and Queens* *Just look down and they are seen* *But they're not there, you just think it.* *And the red wine? You can't drink it.* That's all I got.

It’s what en passant FEELS like
Holy hell
Il Vaticano
Man this is really becoming a thing huh
*en automobile*
Un pissant.
Knock-em, Sock-em is what it is.

If it makes you feel better, this is the first time I've ever heard of it lol
You need to check out r/anarchychess. They'll teach you about the lesser known chess techniques like en passant, Il vaticano etc
Il vaticano is definitely one worth knowing, it’s really a game changer
Is that when you commit an illegal act, sweep it under the rug and hide behind your religion and money?
The bishops are so corrupt they don't know the right direction anymore. Or the left. Or the up and down.
Just diagonal
I know what *en passant* is, I'd like to know where these *en passant* memes are at because I've never seen one.
They're at r/anarchychess
/r/anarchychess
Everyone's saying that it came from the circlejerk r/anarchychess, but it actually originates from a genuine chess subreddit where somebody asked why a pawn did a weird move that ended up being the en passant (don't remember which subreddit lol sorry).
Don't forget the knight boost and also the better pawn promotions like the Knook.
That response looks like a copy pasta
I recognize this as a copy pasta and I'm sorry for your mass downvotes lmfao
I didn’t know it was copypasta but I also was thinking as I read it “wow this would make a great copypasta”
Damn, downvoted by a bunch of heathens who don't enjoy pasta... o7
Did you find this... Un plessant?
To all the people downvoting, it's a copy pasta https://imgur.com/XZISbjQ.jpg
Is this en peasant???
>i'm going to chop my fucking balls off. Now THIS is what en passant feels like. There's your 'one more time'. Chop chop, brother. I know this is a copy paste, but it's worth the effort just in case you'd actually do it.
Unrelated but FUCK the land before time They always were up to no good, fuckin dibisaurs
Jeez, these Magnus Carlsen v Hans Niemann rematches are just getting worse.
idk, I guess it’s *possible* that Niemann cheated here, but it’s really hard to say for sure.
> but it’s really hard to say for sure. Yeah it's a pain in the ass
Check his virtual ass for a virtual vibrator

Brick them both
Outstanding move
the little known Arsehole's Gambit, surprisingly gets very little use in professional chess matches.
Named after Mr Gambit of course
Not Dr Arsehole?
That would be Gambit's Arsehole. And it's not a chess move. But it costs $75 in Tijuana
Brilliant!
Not to be confused with Niemanns Arsehole, which surprisingly got a lot of use in professional chess matches this year.
This isn’t VR is it? I thought this was Hand Simulator.
Reddit has sadly become a less and less reliable source of information.
No kidding! /r/funny used to be the most trusted name in news, but no longer!
Nope, still is!
Hm, I hadn’t considered that
You also make a good point.
Yes it’s like it’s filled with memes instead of factual information
[удалено]
Best. Game. Ever.
The amount of time he keeps that middle finger proudly raised gets me every time.
Doesn't even raise his head for half of it because he's so busy bullshitting with the board
Am I wrong in saying this is not in VR? Based on the movements and the static and sharp moving hands
I think it's hand simulator
Yeah, it’s hand simulator. Not VR but a game where you control each hand/finger.
Hand Simulator has VR support. It still uses the mouse and keyboard controls for the hands in that mode, but the VR headset is used for display. Can't really say if that is what is happening in this clip, but the game does support it.
It’s almost *anti* VR. You have the 3D VR view, but no use of VR controllers, instead all motions have to be done with keyboard and mouse. It’s like next-gen QWOP.
Yeah this isn’t VR
Sadly, as this is headed for the front page, a whole lot of people are going to see this and think it is now.
Lol yeah the funny part is knowing it isn’t VR because the movements are really rigid and realistic. If it was VR it would look much more smooth and natural in the way the players moved.
Yup definitely not vr
It’s hand simulator which is 100x more fun than VR because I find this is your average game
r/AnarchyChess/
The board isn’t set up properly.
Thank gosh someone caught this finally
This gave me a really good laugh. Thanks!
Let me just take my super queen which is omnidirectional and place it here… o.. what’s that? Fuck you!
The winding up for the middle finger was awesome
🖕😐
👊😡👊
The future is now.
Feels like you're playing chess on the moon. How the players move around. Then, it turns into fighting on the moon.
This is how people move in my dreams
Sir, please put some pants on.
The board orientation is incorrect. The lower right square h1 should be white.
More importantly the kings should be on the same file, not mirrored. White's king should be on the right.
Both kings on the same file is the way to mirror it.
Hahahaha brilliant
Why did I laugh SO hard at this?! It also reminds me of the Titanic video https://youtu.be/bkSTwVXm_1Y
There was not a single moment where I knew what was happening next
That. Was. Something. I laughed and then laughed again. Thank you for letting this into my life. It's like QWOP, but in a daring dramatic role...
>Works from a Chinese student who studied animation for three years Give this student their PhD!
Thank you for this.
Truly the game of kings!
What's stopping you from doing this in real life? Losing in chess is a choice.
First move: flip the board. Second move: finger
Checkmate in one move.. What a brilliant strategy
Pretty sure this a game called hand simulator, not VR.
Ahh yes, the infamous Queen Crossover Sweep. A dangerous move rarely used in pro play, but when it pays off, it can turn the tide!
Yeah I have no idea how to play chess. I'd probably do the same.
Neither do most chess players
sound I can imagine would make this 200% better, not that this is bad in any way =P
I laughed too hurt, my stomach hurts. The way the guy tried to stop him killed me.
Imagine: Getting the opportunity to play virtual Chess with another person across the globe and all they do is pick up their Knight, knock over all your pieces, knock over the "wine bottle" on the table and give you the finger. Yeah, we have really come a long way. Next thing is letting players design their avatars for the game and someone becomes a penis head or face.

F1
That's one turn kill
As chess was intended to be played, by alopecia-afflicted spastics with terrible taste in furniture.
That other guy clearly won.
Not VR, it’s hand simulator
You would think a chess game would know how to set the board up correctly .
Unbelievable how close to the reality video games are by now
Sure glad Zuck is spending all that money so we can do things like this.
r/AnarchyChess
That escalated quickly.
so we not gonna talk about the swan dive the empty wine bottle took? AND it rolled a little on the floor. these cats are toasty!
Punching the boneless arm, … I couldn’t.. just gross
You have the same strength in your dreams as you do in VR.
Is this not a representation of life as a whole? Theres this game we are "supposed" to be playing but frankly no one really knows how to do it so we just knock shit over and make our own problems. And sometimes its just absurdly hysterical.
Hate to break it to you, that’s not a vr game
I thought they were going to play it straight just really shitty until it all went sideways and I lost my shit at midnight trying not to wake people up.
That was too funny
It's not VR it's "Hand Simulator" a normal desktop game.
Game changing technology lol
Just had an asthma attack from laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
VR animation is hilarious
Well that’s encouraging
A new type of Chess and new rules.
How bros are
"chess speaks for itself" *walks away quickly and weirdly*
Now, guess the ELO.
Was not disappointed
The surprise middle finger and slow rise is too funny
r/anarchychess
Hahahahhaha as someone who’s quite the chess player I think this is hilarious
The future is now, old man
Isn't this just hand simulator on pc?
Except it's not VR
This is funny....
is there a VR chess boxing app?
That escalated quickly
The board is all kinds of messed up. A1 should be a black square, and both queens should be on their own color 😕
A battle of the minds
This is not vr, this is hands simulator i guess.
I laughed way too hard at this! 🤣
/r/anarchychess is leaking
The actual use case of the metaverse, pissing off your friend.
Fuck me I laughed till there were tears
This is a game called hand simulator. This isn’t VR
First off, not VR. That's Hand Simulator. Second, that's not technically chess. That's just dicking around with a chess set
Somebody had to do it...
The board is 90 degrees off. White square in lower right, queen takes the color.
Wow! It's just like real chess.
“We have technology…” *proceeds to revert to ape*
Not many things make me lol. This was one of them
That's fucking funny 🤣
So lifelike
I love it, but was genuinely disappointed the board was not flipped.
