Three Games, Three Tracks - Pt. 26

It's been awhile since my last installment of Three Games, Three Tracks and it's pretty nice to return to this series. Life's been mind numbingly stressful but playing chess has been a nice distraction. On chess.com I beat an 1100 bot with relative ease the other day which was cool. As far as I'm aware lichess and chess.com have somewhat different rating systems/levels or whatever so yeah. I'm 95 percent sure this is the case anyway. Still I don't want to get too attached to being like too competitive. I enjoy the natural grind. I am more so choosing to have fun with it and make the more bold and/or entertaining moves and hopefully with time I notice patterns, I dunno LOL.

But yeah life has been wicked weirdly stressful. Life has turned around in some aspects but it also just brings new stress in an odd way. Ultimately the life changes are good though. I desperately want to be wise with my money and keep bigger goals in mind but it's pretty wildly difficult.

Christmas is coming quick, 2026 is right around the corner. I want to give my son a solid Christmas and even take him to this Christmas light show in my local area. Maybe even two places if I can swing it.

But yeah. Not much to say tonight, I'm mostly just surviving, on the path to thriving even though it feels oceans away.

On to the tracks, and my games of course. The usual.

I Got This Beat In My Head - Mac Miller - An underappreciated Mac song I rediscovered the other day! Too catchy, funny too.

LEAD SINGER - Brevin Kim - Brevin Kim steady releasing new fresh stuff, love it.

GRIP - Brevin Kim - This song is a slick one by Brevin Kim again. The flow switch at approximately the 58 second mark is awesome.

My random video of the day is a wholesome one by one of my favorite reaction channels on YouTube. They discuss a video about Americans trying classic British food and it's just simple fun stuff. The channel is L3WG Reacts. He includes his family from time to time which is pretty fun.

When in doubt, play some chess.

I'll try not to re-share music I've already posted in this series but if I do this series over years, which I very well could, I'll likely forget if I shared a song over time.
