SpiritAnimal[8k]: Hey! glhf :)
SpiritAnimal[8k]: Also what's that mean? haha
Move 1
thedeepself.org[7k]: hi gl hf
thedeepself.org[7k]: "inlakesh" is also spelled in la kech --- http://www.guadalupecardona.com/in-lak-ech.html
thedeepself.org[7k]: It is the law of In Lak'ech Ala K'in, which means I am another yourself (A modern day interpretation). It also means I am you, and you are me
thedeepself.org[7k]: your name "spirit animal" gave me the idea that you were familiar with shamanism
Move 3
SpiritAnimal[8k]: Interesting :)
SpiritAnimal[8k]: I believe in that concept, just never put that word together with it. I personally don't have a background in shamanism, but I'd like to think I'm spiritually-sound at heart :)
SpiritAnimal[8k]: I have a background in functional medicine though, and run a practice for that as my career
thedeepself.org[7k]: I write computer programs. My focus is data engineering.
Move 19
SpiritAnimal[9k]: that's awesome
Move 105
SpiritAnimal[9k]: this is scary lol
thedeepself.org[7k]: hehe. I've been blogging about critical positions...
thedeepself.org[7k]: i went for what I felt was the vital point by playing G3.... it was a feel move not certain of outcome
Move 107
SpiritAnimal[9k]: life and death is the weakest part of my game, so I'm sure it will work out for you lol
thedeepself.org[7k]: heheh
thedeepself.org[7k]: have you read Benjamin Teubers "Guide to Become Strong"?
thedeepself.org[7k]: also, the site https://tsumego-hero.com/ makes life and death fun.... Cho Chikun's encyclopedia of life and death is quite thorough - a different approach to learning L&D as well...
thedeepself.org[7k]: Guide to Become Strong is here - senseis: BenjaminTeuber%2FGuideToBecomeStrong
SpiritAnimal[8k]: I know of chochikuns, but I find it difficult and tedious to go through hahah. It's hard for me to visualize due to my aphantasia, but that is not an excuse by any means. I just have to practice more
SpiritAnimal[8k]: I've started doing daily tsumego and reading practice about a week ago. hopefully it helps my game
thedeepself.org[7k]: https://tsumego-hero.com/ is the most fun site for tsumego I've found... what are you studying tsumego with?
SpiritAnimal[8k]: that website too lol
SpiritAnimal[8k]: I also enjoy it
SpiritAnimal[8k]: the collections section is great
Move 115
SpiritAnimal[8k]: I think that kill is gg
thedeepself.org[7k]: i dont count very well and score estimate is disabled, so i dont know
thedeepself.org[7k]: I had never heard the term 'aphantasia' before... i learned something new.
Move 116
SpiritAnimal[8k]: i made a post on Reddit about it, but it's essentially I can't visualize anything in my mind. I can't make pictures or hear sounds. it's only black when I close my eyes and focus my thoughts. it can make this game challenging at times haha
Move 117
SpiritAnimal[8k]: I don't want to use it as an excuse though. Contraband Go has the same thing, and he's a strong Dan level player. So it's not something to consider as a handicap, just a different way of playing the game
Move 119
SpiritAnimal[9k]: GG
