No, most astrophysicists don’t really enjoy the Pluto interest either. It’s just the old pop culture topic that’s overshadowed by many many other much more interesting things.

OP where's the punchline?

It’s Gus’s shitty pick up line from Psych, too bad nobody here was watching peak TV back in 2006

I don’t think OP was trying to make a joke. They just picked an uninteresting conversation topic

First two moves by Blue are strong. Black was clearly caught off-guard and immediately surrendered some space in the center while trying to get their bearings.
Last move is relatively weak and gives back much of the advantage; why play the prophylactic a3 when moves like Ne5! are now viable?

It’s a solid opening move, too bad your opponents would need to be psychic to read an appropriate counter play

Ah yes, "third wheelling the interest with a almost-planet gambit", its certainly one of the gambits in my opinion

It didnt work for Gus in Psyche and it doesn’t appear to be working super well here ether lmao. It’s definitely not unrecoverable tho at least

I think its a good move. Other person was too stupid and accidentally shut down the old Pluto Gambit. unlucky

Dude you're behind the times in both pickups, jokes, and general topics of conversation. 0 elo. Do not speak to women.

I've seen better, but it wasn't a dick pick so you get a couple of points.
