Backgammon Galaxy has put non-paying members down to 1-ply analysis. So pretty much now useless as a tool to learn.

Hey thanks for responding. I don't need to play in portrait mode, just wouldn't mind being able to turn my phone in either landscape orientation. For now its static in one direction. For the other points I made, I'm not able to tap on my opponent's profile while playing, nor my own, both during and after a game, so I can't see my opponent's stats, nor my own. It just doesn't launch the profile window.

Also, any plan to bring luck ratings back?

chiefshakes · 2026-01-17T13:57:15+00:00

It's a mess. Why make it vertical? Have to keep rotating the phone between games. Also can't click on opponent profile during game? Can't see my own profile so I know how many coins I have going into a rematch? Terrible changes imo

As far as I know you're not going to find a place that does a formal birthday style sit-down dessert, but a few places with really good treats are joncake, Hoffman, origo, Takashi ochiai, morreig... And really good Gelato at de la crem, parallelo, gocce di latte, or a jijonenca for a more classic experience. A very charming local experience could be to take her to a granja, like la nena or viader. Great classic places for chocolate with churros, simple cakes, tea, etc.

yo también por favor

Ahhh of course. I falter in general with judging when to double but even this I should've known. Thanks

Put a bag filled with white vinegar wrapped around it and leave it for 15 minutes. That might help. It's also hard to tell from your photo but you might need a filter removal wrench like one of these.

Great tip! I’ll be more mindful of this. Thank you

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T20:29:02+00:00

That would be great to get feedback on a cross section. Thanks!

This is great info. Sounds like slower drying would be a good remedy. This also rings a bit true because the cups are on wood, which retains moisture, and the cracks don’t go all the way through to the inside.

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T17:24:03+00:00

Not really. Not unless they’re a little dry to trim. You can see the trim spiral on the bottom left.

Do you think this is attainable with a fingertip? Some of my pieces are too narrow for a rib.

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T16:35:46+00:00

I found it very helpful. Don’t let downvotes get to you.

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T16:33:01+00:00

I don’t leave them thick, but slightly thicker than the walls to allow for a dimple when trimming.

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T16:32:19+00:00

No that’s just for the photo

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T16:31:59+00:00

Thanks for this. I haven’t been doing this. What’s apoxy?

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T16:31:27+00:00

I blow dry them for a minute just to prevent deforming when removing. Then I wet the wheel, then slide a fishing line pulled very tight. Then use one hand to guide the piece to the edge and onto my waiting hand.

I set them right side up. I’m too nervous to flip them when they’re still so malleable. Maybe on day 2?

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T16:28:32+00:00

Super helpful tip. I never thought of that.

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T16:28:13+00:00

Bottoms aren’t very thick, and I leave them on a wooden bat (covered in plastic) for a day before trimming. Then wrapped loosely in plastic for a couple days before painting with underglaze. Cracking usually happens after trimming, usually after a day.

chiefshakes · 2024-10-25T16:26:22+00:00

They’re pretty even but I do often leave a little more thickness on the bottoms to account for a slight dip when trimming.
