They just played music, and I think they are smart to do that. These are real turbine jet engines, larger than the ones used for model airplanes. So yes, they will have the typical sound and not exactly be silent.

Ant-Man?
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Back when I was in my late teens, studying mech aero engineering, I wasn't that good at chess and never rated myself and so never played it. Then s few years ago, after 20 years of programming having switched to of in my 20s, I was challenged to a game...
He was good, s mathematician, it was a very deep intense game, and what surprised me was my ability to think deeply into all the various moves, counter moves, and evolutions down many iterations, and hold them all in my head at the same time. Something I could never do as a teenager.
I won, with a killed rook move.
And I can only put this down to the years of brain exercise writing programs, where the same depth, complexity and interconnections of events i exists, gave me.
I played it a few times after that with other people and anihilated them.
Anyone else noticed writing programs having such an effect?

Just doing things in general. It's a continuous background process of conditionals with branching.
Even fixing (replacing) a water line from sink-to-fridge, under house in 18" sand-floored crawl space strewn with obstacles - a nearly 30 foot crawl in this to the closer of the two kitchen access holes. It was to be one trip. All steps planned, even to the taping of the tube pushed through the floor on startup (tape tip to keep out sand) and fluorescent makings on wire hanger stuck through floor on push-up side (so 1/4" hole could be found). Tools, forehead light, extra batteries: really, just like user-proofing a some code.
Similar for most tasks - not quite a conscious effort as it's what we do.

My situation is a almost same... I was good as kid with chess and didn't lost it even didn't played a single game in almost 20 years... Probably the 'brain exercise' was good to me too...

I always hated chess. There's really nothing to it. It's a stupid game for people who enjoy memorising 30,000 moves from other games -- or "gambits", to use the snooty word -- which, to me, doesn't make it a game.
It's the wine connoisseur of games; all mouth and trousers.
Scrabble can be as bad, in the wrong company, but at least it can be fun -- which is kinda the point of games.

To summarize, you don't understand anything about chess. But then admittedly, it's not for everyone.
Maybe you'll love pokemon go. I heard it's not particularly strenuous on the brain.

I was forced to join a chess club by my parents, because my being "the clever one" was a feather in their cap -- ego-stroking is pretty much the main function of chess.
I can also ride a horse, but I've never seen one that moves two paces forward and one pace to the side, or a bishop that can only move at funny angles and kills people -- and no queen of any European country has ever, to my knowledge, been a more versatile warrior than her husband.
It's petty childish rubbish that isn't even fun.

Fixed that.

Fixed that one too.

So, you never liked chess, but your parents forced you into it and you clearly couldn't comprehend one bit of anything involving the complexity or the beauty of the game, except for some basic rules around valid piece movements. You've since developed an aversion to it as a result.
While I'm sorry this happened to you, arguing that chess is rubbish because your parents forced you into it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Calling chess stupid because your parents forced you into it - that's a foolish thing. Besides, you did make your comprehension of the game apparent by explaining what you understood about it - how bishop moves in angles, and how you know to ride horses, but they can't jump in L shape, etc.
