Do you know that I never learned how to play this game? It's all around me (friends and family play) and I never knew how to play! Thanks for sharing these resources. They seem like ones I can learn from.

Hello, mastichas09. Thank you for sharing. I played tavli a lot, it is a fantastic game, but it requires a lot of thinking. In my opinion, this game is similar to chess because it also depends on the strategy, but the game has a random moment, so chess is better because you don't have any random game mechanics. Along with tavli I love playing the card games like solitaire. I like playing the spider solitaire free cell or hearthstone when I'm going home from work. Usually, I play solitaire on online-solitaire sites, but if some of you have suggestions for other platforms.

If you are familiar with computer games, you may have heard of anti-aliasing. The edges of objects, which should be smooth, can look like the steps of a staircase. This is reminiscent of the three-dimensional games of the 90s. This can be especially common at low resolutions like 1080p. To prevent this from happening, games include anti-aliasing features to make the jagged edges smooth. This is where supersampling comes in. Instead of applying anti-aliasing to certain parts of the image, supersampling handles the entire game at a higher resolution, like 4K. It then scales to fit your monitor. Personally, I've encountered this many times before. Even when I've tried downloading online casinos on pk. Although at https://wildcardcityvip.com/mobile it is only meant to be in the mobile version.

What to bring to church as a godparent during Christening?

I am so excited, I have just been asked to be a godmother. I know generally what is expected but I am trying to sort it all out. What is it that godparents need to bring to the Christening? I know that the priest usually provides a list but I want to start getting ahead of it. With Easter just behind us, I don't know how long it will be until I get the list. The Christening isn't for a few months, but I know that the church seems to be a bit behind and I have no idea how long it will be until I get the list!

Literature Forum needed?

WG is a great website to discuss Greek places to travel to as well as traditions, history, and mythology. However, I think it would be a great tool for ANYbody and for HS students to learn about Greeks ancient and modern if we had a literature forum with specific references to and info about, lyrical and dramatic poets, theologians, philosophers, scientists, medical writers, historians/ethnologists, etc. // yes/no?
ALL ABOUT THE HISTORICAL GREEK [linguistic] INTELLECT, the NOUS POIETIKOS, the summit of Greek culture. // don't wait for artificial intelligence.......

Explaining Philotimo to a Non Greek

Philitimo is a concept that most of us in Greece and in the diaspora understand intuitively.

I have had nonGreek friends ask me to explain it.

How do you explain it? I usually work around explaining it by giving some examples (Ochi Day, Thermopylae, etc)...

I know there's no real equivalent word in the English language.

How much money to give at a Greek wedding?

I am going to be attending a wedding in Greece and am trying to gather information.

Someone in another thread I started about Greek wedding traditions said that Greeks typically give money at a wedding.

Do you know how I would figure out how much to give? What's customary?

Thanks in advance!
