So true! Tavli or backgammon is a great game to play with friends, family, at a taverna or at the beach! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท

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.

Celebrating Greek Name Days

What do people here do to celebrate their name days? Most people barely even remember all the name days, and last year I almost forgot about it. But I know that some people love to honor their name day. I am curious what people do. I have a friend who tries to go to church if there is a service. Other friends go out for dinner, as if they are celebrating a birthday.

Would Love to Experience the Greek Kalanda Tradition!

I would love to experience the Greek Kalanda tradition for myself in Greece. Does anyone have any advice on how to make that happen this year? I plan to go to Greece in a few weeks to visit some people and hope to see this first-hand. It seems like a really great tradition.

Best Greek Independence Day Parades?

I know Greek Independence Day is coming up. I am curious, where in the word are there the best celebrations? I don't have time to travel far this year, but I could keep in mind for next year.

What do people typically do in Greece for it? Are there parades? Where is the biggest parade? I know in the US there are typically parades in Chicago, New York, and Boston.

Gift at a Greek Wedding in Canada?

The couple is originally from Greece - the family only just came ten years ago. They are young, but the family holds to Greek traditions. The wedding is in Canada because that is where they settled.

I have sorted out what to wear, no I need insight as to what to give the couple! They actually don't even have a registry.

Learning about Greek Orthodoxy - resources?

I am on an active process to learn more about Greek Orthodoxy - it has been my project for the past year. I am having a hard time tracking down resources. Does anyone have an y books to recommend?

I have read so far:

Thinking Orthodox - Eugenia Constantinou

Orthodox Study Bible

Welcome to the Orthodox Church - Frederica Matthews Green

Thanks!
