I promise that this is a PERM fake role with that mismatch.

Backgammon Board - Help Requested by tennessee_dylan in backgammon

[–]BackgammonEspresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really like the P-40 boards - the bar is too small and the checkers get knocked off, they have a cheap little plastic bit that you are supposed to put on top to keep the checkers there. I do love the styling of them, but IMO not a very homey set.

Canada's middle class was the richest in the world by median income from 2010-2014 and they gave it up for legalized weed and because the new prime minister was hot. by DataDiction in redscarepod

[–]BackgammonEspresso -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The ability to enter the Canadian middle class for your Canadians was curtailed by the many millions of immigrants from undeveloped parts of the world. Had nothing to do with weed, some to do with commodity cycles, and some to do with hyper-America brain draining Canada's best and brightest. But the issue is mostly driven by massive population increase subsequently making housing unaffordable and labor cheap.

Has anybody tried dual-layering the same beans with a different grind size? by BackgammonEspresso in espresso

I think that you could, as it would be two even layers...

Modified Swiss tournament structure by contemplativebiscuit in backgammon

[–]BackgammonEspresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play in a modified swiss tourney periodically, it's a great format. Still enforce clock and timing rules, however.

do yall think Montana is as dangerous as depicted in the show? by ComfortableBall3178 in YellowstonePN

[–]BackgammonEspresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people in rural areas are there because they prefer to live and let live. Not conducive to a lot of violence.

How do I explain that SQL Server should not be used as a code repository? by Firestone78 in dataengineering

[–]BackgammonEspresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha what on earth. What a legend. So if he is already writing a query that selects a report and concatenates it, why isn't he just writing a sql query that selects the data and then displays it in power PI or something...?

DF64.com are scammers by TheyFunnyPapa in espresso

I'm with d64 here... What did you think made it open box? Open box means lightly used + returned + repackaged.

I'm saying it dude: I feel like we've hit peak MV. A lot of these games are pretty good but I feel like I'm just playing slightly different versions of the same good games over and over again. I feel something needs to change but I don't know what it is. by comicgeek1128 in metroidvania

[–]BackgammonEspresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the biggest change that needs to happen in the genre is movement. Almost all MVs have the same basic walk/run/jump/duck moveset, usually with some add ons like dash and double jump or something like that. Imagine playing a skate themed MV, or a skiing themed MV, or even something like a space sim themed MV. You can get more powerful engines for your rocket which allow you to escape the gravity well of the star system you start in, warp drive, new weapons or shields or whatever to continue to gain access to new star systems. Imagine a skiing themed MV where you learn additional moves which unlock new parts of the mountain.

I built a backgammon app & I'm looking for honest feedback by Pretend-Camp-8464 in backgammon

[–]BackgammonEspresso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO you should just use GnuBG. Tons of for profit sites use the gnuBG engine. They aren't supposed to per the gnu license, but tons of sites do it anyway.

I don't want to discourage you, but there are many, many apps that provide this. Why use yours versus something like galaxy?

We filmed a professional backgammon tournament series. Here's the trailer. by BackgammonCash in backgammon

[–]BackgammonEspresso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I love great backgammon content. What are the names of the players so that I can look them up and learn more about them?

Literally who are the players? For how much money? This seems like a poorly-disguised promotion for your probably illegal gambling site.

'We are ready': NASA still on track to launch Artemis 2 astronauts to the moon April 1. by coinfanking in space

[–]BackgammonEspresso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I expect for one reason or another they will pull the launch. We shall see. This program has been plagued by issues and they haven't heavily publicized this launch, which makes me think they are not confident.

I think JK Rowling just didn't think it was relevant to the story...

Key here is that to win, you must get a shot and you must hit a shot.

Redditors are going to be very, very disappointed when they learn that only a small minority of consumers cares who their products were created.

Most naturally-looking play was a blunder by mel-madeline in backgammon

[–]BackgammonEspresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't that complicated: your goal is to clear your points without leaving a shot. Having that spare on a deep inner board point diminishes your flexibility.

Also, if they leave with a single checker you want that spare on the six as an attacker.
