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.

Greek Easter Family Traditions

I am curious what your family traditions are for Greek Easter. I know lent hasn't even started yet, but I've started doing some planning to make sure my family has all of its traditions all set. Sometimes it takes me a while to find ingredients for some of the foods I serve, etc.

Of course we spend Holy Week in church. We do our best to fast during Lent, and once Easter comes, it's all about serving our traditional dishes. This year I might spend part of lent in Greece to visit some religious sites.

What do you guys all do?

Greek Naming Traditions?

I have noticed that in Greece, there are some traditions associated with naming their children. Although some Greek families in the United States have done this, many have seemed to lose the traditions.

Does anyone know what some of these traditions are? I am helping a friend name his upcoming child... Here's some of what I have learned:

1. Firstborn daughter names after maternal grandmother
2. Firstborn son named after paternal grandfather
3. Firstborn son named after father

Those are the ones I have figured out. I don't know what is traditional from Greece and what has just been made up amongst Greeks in the US.

Navigating Greek Lenten Fasting - Advice?

Lent is here and all my friends and family have been asking "what are you doing for lent this year?" They're all "giving something up" but I decided I wanted to fast. I would love your help and advice because this is the first time I am doing things in a stricter way. I resolve to see it through!

It's supposed to be a a time of reflection, purification, and preparation for the celebration of Easter, and the diet plays a significant part in this spiritual journey. I don't want to get so obsessed with the "rules" that I lose myself in them and forget why I am fasting int he first place.

Thanks in advance!

Advice about making Greek coffee

I've developed a fascination with Greek culture and cuisine, and one aspect I'm particularly eager to explore is Greek coffee. I've heard that it's a unique and delicious brew, but I'm not quite sure how to make it at home.

I understand that Greek coffee is traditionally prepared using a special pot called a briki, but beyond that, I'm a bit lost. What type of coffee grounds should I use, and how finely should they be ground? Are there any specific brands or blends that are favored for making Greek coffee?

I'm also curious about the brewing process itself. Is there a particular technique for achieving that rich, foamy texture that Greek coffee is known for? And what about serving suggestions? Are there any traditional accompaniments or customs that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

What is kefi exactly?

I have always found the concept of kefi to be intriguing, and I would like to learn more about it from those familiar or even vaguely aware of this notion. From what little I understand, kefi seems to embody a unique blend of joy, spirit, and passion, deeply ingrained in Greek culture. It's more than just a word; it's a lifestyle, a form of expression, an unbridled enthusiasm for life.

However, I'm curious to know about the deeper nuances and applications of kefi. How does kefi manifest in day-to-day life, not just in Greece, but wherever one might find joy and enthusiasm? Is it something that can be consciously cultivated, or does it spontaneously bloom in moments of happiness and high spirits? It seems like it really permeates the culture, especially in Greece.
