Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet: Fury Road!

even though it sounds ruder, I think the place is pronounced 'Lesbos'

I can relate, it does get tougher the more special you get

I mean, I am, but also, chess is not even close to oldest. beaten by thousands of years (especially if you count the ones we don't still have rules for)

The Royal Game of Ur does have rules, and is quite definitively older

i'm glad being old makes me special, but surely that makes things even older more-special

... what makes chess so special?
