Seeing this post topic in the off-topic section made me expect something a bit more existential.

My life feels like I'm struggling to just get sente. Fate is a stronger player, poking at my bad shape and making me heavy. I'm having to take gote just to survive.

It seems it wasn't turned off for any particular reason. I think that's just the default setting for that mod. I've turned it on.

Was that move sente (you initiated an action) or gote (you responded to another player's demand)?
