Airing on his birthday we have the Risk game where I make it to Grandmaster playing Classic Fixed.

Map: Classic
Mode: World Domination
Setup: Auto
Cards: Fixed
AI Difficulty: Expert
Turn Timer: 60s
Fog: Off
Blizzards: Off
Alliances: On
Dice: Balanced Blitz
I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for making Pete's content even better.
Cheers!
@@TheKillPeteStrategy
I suggest you pin this comment, and the future ones like it.
Good game, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the game and life.
I think it's great! Ty for your service!
I think it is hilarious that the other guy is claiming "lucky". Pete basically immediately made friends with another player on the first turn. That alliance got them the 1st and 2nd spots in the game. Too many people going into this looking for enemies rather than allies.
I had a game that played out almost exactly like this but reverse. I made allies with a player and they got North America and I got south America but quickly expanded into Africa. We went first and second I got first because he missed eliminating third place by one territory and weakened his forces in doing so
Yes I just learned dont make the big stack mad.
Pete your confidence in saying “I have already decided what I’m going to do” after chat suggestions is one of the reasons I find your content so excellent. It’s really cool to be good at something and you do a great job balancing humility and confidence.
Confidence vs arrogance. It's very much a fine line we all walk.
I appreciate you so much talking about mental health on your stream.
You're most welcome Sir!
Depression sucks. Glad to hear things are going better.
Yes, 130 men in the USA alone take their lives every day and they're 4x more likely to commit suicide than women... Yet there is still a stigma in talking about men's mental health. I am so glad to hear people with a voice breaking that stigma down
@@nugsnothugsthat statistic is shocking, horrifying disgusting and unacceptable. In my small way I want to help bring reason and love to that conversation.
I may not always get it right but if my suffering can be a benefit to others than maybe it wasn't for nothing. ❤️
Strolling on Risk content, didn't expect the talk about mental health. Feels like you talk about it with compassion and humble, I appreciate it a lot. Thanks Pete!
I'll blame you if I reduce work and start playing Risk more lol :p
Blame away!
And you're welcome. Gotta stay humble in life and enjoy the ride.
Thanks to the algorithm for pushing this channel. Watching someone who is good at what they do is always a pleasure. And thanks Pete.
🙏
Gj with grandmaster Pete!
Reframes are such a powerful tool because your perception of reality is one arena where you really do have control. Loved your thoughts on mental health, not canned self-help or monomaniacal positivity, just pragmatic approach to actually improve your situation. Very "stoic" in conception, just another reason to love your vids.
Thank you. I worked very hard at it and if my thoughts could be valuable to others then why not share them.
I’m definitely too passive. I would have just migrated to Europe after the purple move. Watching you is definitely helping to break that tendency
He could have done that. It might have antagonized Yellow into hitting him instead of Red though. But Green probably would have seen the weakness in Yellow after that and helped clear him out. Green was passive but had an ally. Yellow was passive and trying to lone wolf it.
50k by end of month and 100k by end of year lets goooo.
Also I discovered you last weekend without knowing what Risk was. Binge watched a few of your Clasic fixed. Played my first online game and won against an Expert an Intermediate and a Beginner!! Felt good. Keep up the good work🙌🏿🙌🏿
Let's not go overboard. I am so blessed that you are here and enjoying my work. Anything else is gravy to me.
Wow Pete congrats on 20K, your Channel is growing so fast it doesn't feel like that long since you were at 2k subs. Keep going and making great content
It's incredible. Thank you for being here!
Congrats Pete! Can't believe it. It felt like yesterday that you were at 3k. Hopefully you keep growing at an exponential rate and can one day focus on solely creating content (if you prefer it over mowing lawns). Keep it up!
Pete I did not expect you to talk about mental health but it was such an insightful discussion. I had never heard of the framing of depression as an addictive mindset before but it rings so true. Doing much better now than I have done for years and a lot of that has been realising that I do actually have the ability to improve my life and overcome my failings and weaknesses.
I haven't been struggling that much mentally but it strikes me how well he covers the topic. The framing idea is really essential.
I am autistic and haven't been a huge fan of the word neurodiversity before because it created a sort of us/them feeling for me, but hearing his interpretation as a way to frame autism more positively (which I have been doing anyways) is also something I will keep in mind in the future now.
We all have far more power than we even realize.
I'm pleased to hear you're doing better and harnessing more of yours.
Happy birthday Fil and congrats on the fixed GM Pete!
Cheers! Ty Tryharding.
This is my favourite Kill Pete video! Pete you got to grandmaster playing classic fixed, and really appreciated you sharing the thoughts on mental health. It's been an issue for me as well, and really appreciate how open you've been and for sharing thought processes that have helped you too.
For sure. I don't pretend to have anything all figured out but I'm happy to share what has worked for me. As always your mileage may vary. 🙏
It's cool that you are talking about the real stuff like struggle and depression, it's really hard for a lot of other creators to address things like this so I was surprised
I have no problem being very direct and honest about my own struggles. And mental health is the sort of thing that only gets better if we talk about it.
Glad you're faring better Pete. Today I had a very liberating talk at the office about long term grief. Hope y'all are doing well.
Same to you!
Good on you Pete for being so open about mental health. Lots of people are going through things, and I’m sure it helps them know you’ve found success overcoming it!
I'm happy that your talking about mental health Pete!
your comments on mental health are both meaningful and insightful and i agree 100% not at all what i expected on a risk video to pick up tips on strategy to ruin my friends days
Like everyone else I'm just trying my best.
Awesome gameplay & conversations my friend, I'm really glad your having the support you deserve, plus feeling blessed, big hug from spain
I for a long time thought it was normal to randomly think about "walking infront of cars" when out for a walk. Happened all the time. That was before I got diagnosed with depression. Getting that answer weirdly enough made me spiral even further down in my depression leading to me losing my job and here I am. I had to reach rock bottom and on my way up.
It was easy to blame everything on depression, not taking responsibilities for anything I didn't do.
i hope you get back up again king
Change the mindset !
Wow. I had the same experience. I actually did walk in front of a car though. It felt unintentional though, like I was not in control of my body. I don't think I wanted to walk in front of one, but I somehow did. Afterwards, I received much love from my family that I did not expect at all, which I think what made me ease out of depression, and from then I realized that the only reason I was depressed was because self-thoughts rather than reality.
@WALLOZZ Thanks, I am in a way better place right now, no wierd thoughts in a long time.
Sometimes losing everything is the only way to rebuild.
I dont know why, but I could binge watch you playing fixed all day! Love the commentary! Although I like it better with true random dice
You're definitely not alone.
When you said “I have already decided what I’m going to do” I lost it haha
🤣🤣🤣
You are truly amazing man. I love your vibe and calm nature with a good fuck you inbetween. So good to see you acknowledge the issue of mental illness, I´m struggling real bad and it´s been real nice finding your work here man it´s really nice to just listen to your videos and also see your great gameplay. You are a great human being and I truly hope you are doing good, and you deserve greatness and I hope you keep growing. Much love man
Back at you. You know the truth is that I am not any greater than anyone else. I do appreciate the kind words and hope that you find your own success despite your struggles. Maybe even because of some of them.
I really appreciate you helping to normalize the mental health conversation! It's so refreshing to see.
P.S. The online site colonist is awesome for playing Catan on.
Pretty interesting. Green negotiated his way to 2nd place with the very first move of his game. You accepted with your well placed random Americas troops and that's the way it played out. It doesn't always work out that way. There were plenty wrinkles in the middle, but pretty neat.
i know im 6 months late but i like the talk about embracing disability, You cant let that be your defining aspect, ive gone through injuries and while wearing a cast, people try to help me with menial tasks that are no problem, i tell them that i know they care for me and i love them, but then i jokingly say "Im handi-capable, not handi- cant do shit!" and i think thats something that people with disabilities should take in, find what you CAN do, and overcome, dont let it consume you, you arent a disables person, you are a person
Which at the root of it is mindset!
The most important aspect.
"I just have a good memory and I really work at stuff." I hear that brother.
Hey Pete! I had no idea you used to be depressed, really glad you're doing good. Love your content, your humility is refreshing and much appreciated. Have a good one Pete.
Cheers Pizza. I appreciate all the good in my life because I know how bad it could be.
I really needed that talk on depression and suicide. Came at the oddest time on the oddest video
❤️
I used to play this Christmas night with the family growing up.. this looks awesome and you're humble as hell. Thanks for entertaining me :) glad i stumbled across your channel 👍
Just started watching you Pete and listening too you talk about disabilities made me think so much different I’ve always thought because I’m dyslexic that I’m Normal in all areas other than English but now I’ve realised I’m actually really good at maths I’ve always done maths in my head and just picture it in my head and can solve problems in seconds and it’s a really good thing too know now.
Im also so glad your doing good for yourself and hope you keep the positive mind set for rest of your life
The best way I can frame it is imagine you're an RPG character and you started with your abilities clustered in one place instead of spread out evenly. So you're really bad at some things but also really good at other things.
I truly believe that everyone was brought into this world to fulfill a purpose and it's our job to figure out what that purpose is
Love the content man, u really provide some value to my life with this channel, so the least i can do is add a tiny bit to yours
My pleasure.
And thank you! That is very much appreciated.
So glad I found this channel one of my new absolute favorites.
hey Pete I am also from Toronto and have been watching your videos a lot recently. I really liked the bit where you talked about mental health because not only can I really relate to you, I also think that your ideas are considerate and understanding to others. Which is dope and wholesome
🙏
Thank you actually for promoting this game.
Working on it my friend!
I know I'm seeing this video quite late and you might not see this, but Thank you Pete. Your thoughts on depression and the topic gave me a wonderful point of view. Your such a benefit to all your viewers. :)
If my suffering can be of any benefit to others then perhaps that makes it somewhat worthwhile.
Love your mental health chats here. You have such an eloquent way of speaking on a topic that is so complex - you make it sound simple and enjoyable to listen to. Wonderful stuff! I came here to watch risk but I stayed for the cognitive behavioural therapy 😂❤
Glad you value that. It's the type of problem that's solved in conversation and if any of my suffering can help make the suffering of another somewhat less then that makes it worthwhile.
Hey Pete, congrats on 20k. Thanks for discussing the hard topics. The fact that not many people talk about it in a casual sense means that many people feel isolated in their issues and feel like they can't relate to others with their feelings. Keep connecting, 1 person at a time
You're welcome bro! How are we going to be expected to solve hard problems if we ignore them.
I have watched hours of your content over the past week. I am really enjoying it. I also wanted to comment to increase your follower engagement to hopefully get the tube to keep pushing your videos and ultimately more subs!
Keep it up!
Thank you!
I'm glad you're enjoying my work David ❤️
I came into this looking for more gameplay tips and got a fire discussion around 13:00, you've said it more succinctly than I've ever been able to
I'm glad you liked the way I framed that thought.
Why am i suddenly so interested in Risk lol (great takes on mental health by the way, really gets you thinking). Glad i found this channel, very relatable guy
I'm on team logic man. Try to live a reasonable life
Congrats on the outcome - been bingeing watching your Prog series and now this, I am genuinely happy for you.
🙏🙏
Hi Pete was watching your video as just some light entertainment, but have to say your words of wisdom regarding mental health were very insightful and think a lot of people who are struggling would perhaps stop and reflect on some of your thoughts/insights and hopefully improve their own mental well being. I like this line you said "The thing that is making you miserable is a fallacy, you are making you miserable, always, things happen, the universe doesn't care about you. How you feel about that.....is your choice."
That is an ancient principle of Stoic philosophy.
It's very motivating to hear that my words are a benefit to you personally!
Pete never go back to those type of thoughts,we all are worthy humans and deserve to live a life like we wish for
🙏❤️
Love the fact that you speak slowly, means I can play the video at 1.5x
Pete, I don’t play risk but found you oddly entertaining (that’s a complement, we’re all weirdos in our own way lol). But Hearing you speak about breaking stigmas around mental “disabilities” is a great message! Neurodivergent and nuerotypical brain function is one of the most powerful descriptions that has helped me to identify my personal struggles with ADHD. Giving me the ability to build strategies to help me feel like I can fit in much better into societies expectations.
Subbed/liked/commented get that algorithm pumping my dude.
The way we frame circumstances has a big influence over the way we experience them.
It has been shown from psychological research that bearing a heavy burden willingly has a noticeable positive effect on a person's psychology rather than thinking of that burden as an injustice to be born. The latter makes one out to be a victim.
13:35
just making a note for myself
Thanks Pete
also, the held match as a test for Magenta is pretty cool
❤️
It took me a while to get to the bottom of that problem
18:00 Viktor Frankl - Man's Search For Meaning
:)
"Settlers of Catan is a trading game", somebody should tell that to the people in my former board game group. I'm not sure I EVER saw anyone in that group make a trade. When you asked they'd just say "Why would I help you win?" or counter with an absurd offer that just gives them all your resources.
I get wanting to win, but I don't feel like this is a healthy attitude. It's a game, we're all supposed to be having fun. Refusing to engage with the game's core mechanics is not fun for anybody. And when that attitude infects the entire group....well there's a reason this is my _former_ board game group. After a while you get tired of jerks countering your trade offer with "all of your wood for one of my sheep".
That's hilarious.
A similar thing can happen in mtg commander where players get into an arms race instead of realizing the format is not competitive.
Yeah if no trading occurs in catan it is diceroll simulator with very few decisions besides starting placement of settlements and "do I buy a development card here or not" or a road. Like I get not trading lategame because you could just hand someone the win that turn, but early on you're supposed to trade a lot.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I don't play Commander for precisely that reason. I just can't get out of the competitive headspace from decades of playing "win at all costs" formats. So I just don't bring my baggage to the table where it's going to ruin everyone else's fun. CEDH is something I might play around with one day, but these days Modern is more my speed.
deep convo for a deep game of risk, perfect.
I like how they go together as well!
5:35 - Mental health is critical. I have DID - and for a year, give or take, it was horrific as I tried to find some sort of balance with my alters.
Combine that with autism... :\ It isn't great at times.
❤️
Good conversation about mental health. IMHO the best cure is hard work. Like Pete said, play to your strengths and throw yourself into it. You'll gain respect for yourself and sleep better. BTW - good opening moves, Pete.
There is no easy solution.
I have made my peace with the fact that I'll be working every day for the rest of my life. I'm happier for it.
You don't actually want to reach that 'destination'
I wouldn’t buy a calendar of Pete, but a calendar of Reggie? Take my money.
🐈
comes to watch a chill vid before bed and get better mental health advice then my therapist. LMAO thx Pete
I certainly would not claim to be a therapist.
Im just a guy who's fought his own battles with mental health and am happy to share my story.
As ALWAYS your mileage may vary. ❤️❤️❤️
Random feed suggestion maybe a week ago, hadn't played Risk in years but straight back into it.
Love the content and open discussions chief, real breath of fresh of air so tanking you kindly sir 🙏
You're welcome. I really want to do my little part to make this corner of the world a bit brighter.
❤️❤️❤️
@@TheKillPeteStrategy just one's opinion but I'd say you're already there - just let the algorithm do it's thing and you'll amass a huge audience for sure.
You pass people in life, you don't want or need them but damn they have that aura.... you just wanna be near them!
Very chill vibes chief, will catch your stream whenever I see you on.
PS
I thought your take on the depression and it being a kind of addiction was bang on, feel alot of times when we all comes from different walks of life and vocabularies we get so many miscommunications through a lack of mutual understandings but then you hear metaphors or expressions of what would be considered complex issues and it just seems to evapourate the mist and give that clarity. I still struggle to make my own ones universal enough to be understood by all but just wanted to say that you blitz'd that without needing to do a 30m presentation with illustrations and piecharts on whiteboard.
A man of clear experience and wisdom with humbling mannerisms to boot. Glad I found you =]
Much Love ❤🙏
Amazing to hear that you got rid of depression by realizing the logical thing is to love oneself ❤️ its all about perception, thank you for talking about this, I bet you are helping many people by doing this!
I hope so!
The heartfelt advice shortly followed by 11:00 was a prime example of subversion of expectation. Excellent execution, enormously enjoyable .Bitc-
🙏
Newer subscriber here, been going through video after video. Great stuff. Thank you for opening up about mental health from your life's perspective, takes balls. Nothing but respect, sir. Oh, and thanks for getting me back into Risk 😄
My pleasure! In my experience mental health is the sort of thing that only gets better by talking about it so this is my way of trying to help others learn from my mistakes.
Pete! Recently found your channel, been basically binging your vids. Great content! One very important question I have though is what kind of beef sticks do I see you eating sometimes? They look delish. Keep working hard sir! People are noticing!
I think they're pork.
Love the content Pete! Just won my first game playing online today.
Hey Pete,
Just started watching your channel recently after being recommended it. Really enjoy your videos.
You were talking about stoicism during the video, a good book I have is The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday.
Thanks for the Rec.
I'll give it a shot.
Depression is an addiction is such a strong quote. Jesus I’m here to watch risk and now you got me thinking
🙏
woooo he made it! GM it is!
I found you a couple weeks a go and now your channel has doubled, keep it up
Been watching all of you’re videos! Keep up the awesome content! Risk brings up so many amazing childhood memories!
i find the mental health conversation really interesting, especially around the framing of “disability” vs “neuro-divergent”, while it’s definitely true that the is no inherent value to one cognitive way of function than another, the way our society and culture is set up it can heavily impact some people negatively, i find that pushing the idea of autism being a “different ability” can often really invalidate the genuine struggles people with disabilities face in the world, that’s my two cents anyway, might have to pop by stream sometime and have a proper conversation you discussed some very interesting topics :)
Hearing you talk about mental health today makes me believe your recent success is Karma based. Cheers friend
🙏
Yellow played really well up until the point where he went ham on Red like a maniac instead of just taking the middle east to deny him the Asia bonus. That served you Red on a silver plate. :D
GG, WP!
Toronto in the house. Canadians really are massive at content creation.
10:42 PeTeSD - Opponents after facing Pete.
Lol Pete esd
I like the idea of of streamers being comfy talking about sad things like mental illness and depression.
It's my show right? I'm gonna talk about what I want to
Pete love your advices and perspective. thank you
🙏
Love the honesty. Keep it 100 even if you're only 99.
Always
Congratulations!
I actually love this channel so much ❤
I love you too
Love to see ur strategy keep it up king 👑
❤️❤️❤️
Good work Pete 🎉 love you and your strength 💪
Always!
ah I miss this lovely game.
Happy Bday Fil!
Loved hearing you talk about mental health; i'm on the autism spectrum and love your content
Happy to Andrew.
"I want this orange"
-no, you don't have more money to pay
**proceeds to steal the orange**
"You can't arrest me bish"
I agree that formerly suicidal people should talk more about it. There is no shame in having those thoughts and important for people to understand they often are temporary. Through treatment, lifestyle changes or sometimes just maturity (in my case), it does get better! ❤️❤️❤️
For better or worse I don't seem to suffer from much shame. I am the final arbiter of how I feel about myself. Obviously the feedback of others is valuable but not a determinant.
kudos for talking openly about mental health. strength to you and all
How are you going to solve a problem if you ignore it right?
Pro tip: color blind mode gives every differently shaped pieces!
Congrats Pete, finally got the GM Title, took a good 70 games but you overcame all the obstacles posed by Novices and their No Australia, no Win strategy!
TIL an existential stoic beat depression by thinking it's illogical
🤣🤣 well put
Your thoughts on depression were genuinely helpful to me today. Thank you.
That means a lot to hear.
I'm so glad Robert. ❤️
Congrats Pete! That was a great game to watch :)
Aah Risk the good old destroyer of friendships🤣
Mental health is vey important, and guys need to talk about it
💯
Love all your analysis! In one sentence you go from talking about serious mental issues to cussing someone out for bad play! Yours is the Only channel I let the ads play.
Happy birthday Fil??
Says something about the mind moving huh?
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Maybe you should consider lacing more serious discussion into your presentation to expand your subs and view time. Your vulnerability, humility and manner are rare and attractive. I think you are scratching the surface of your potential.
Or just play RISK! 😃
I can get a decent start, just can’t close games, fun watch
Practice makes perfect my friend.
Even though being "grandmaster" at risk means nothing to me.... its very satisfying/enjoyable watching someone else being really pleased to achieve it, well done sir!
Are some of those win/loss ratio (at the end) a slightly skewed statistic? - in that some of those losses may have been 2nd or 3rd place?
Wins are first place only.
Congrats I've been enjoying watching the climb.
I am blushing! Congrats on GM!
Maybe late Happy birthday Fil
Happy birthday, Fil! Our bdays are just 2 days apart!!
Happy birthday Mallorie!
I thought I was a bit of a hydration fiend, but oz for oz I think Pete doubles me at least.
Ez
Well done on becoming another grandmaster 👍👍
🙏Thanks!
Thats gg's Pete, a great rankup game for a great man!
Pete! Happy happy birthday Fil! Go out and get it twisted🤣
Twist it up!
i would like a video where you explain what you’re thinking and why during the match. i’m a new player to this game only because you made it look a lot fun. cheers!
I made a how to use the app video last week.
Maybe start with that.
