Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I promise this is true. Will answer what I can without giving away too many clues about the athlete.

Edit: @[email protected] is the winner of this thread, meaning he has paper-scissors-rocked his way to victory over an Olympic gold medalist.

Was it the sport they won the medal at

Was it Michael Phelps in competitive bong rips.

Alas, no.

It was a sport that has been in the Olympics, and perhaps will one day return.

Like urban planning and competitive bong rips, it's one where you can gain weight while playing

Edit: Shit, what we played was only featured in a "demonstration programme" and didn't make the Games

Sumo? Was sumo at Tokyo? Wait was that Tokyo or Kyoto? Whatever...

Edit: it was Tokyo

Indeed

And I had, like, 5x the score they did. Would they have lapped me five times in their sport? Probably, but they might have won before that happened, in which case this is more impressive.

No on the specifics, but yes on the general idea

which factions did you play in StarCraft 2?

It's still hard to beat elite athletes at esports, someday it's going to be a part of GOAT debates like golf was for Biden and Trump.
