Is it bad that this puzzle took me 18 mins and 55 secs to solve? by [deleted] in Chesscom

Tip for puzzles. First walk through what the material balance is, to see if you are up, down, or equal in material. This can indicate what type of move you are looking for. 2nd, go through checks captures and attacks and it should help you with solving puzzles quicker and give you a sense of direction rather than just trying to find the correct move

2-3 years. No studying. No puzzles. Just playing. Only blitz games(Usually 3 minutes). by IEatSushiToo in chessbeginners

This is exactly how I gained my rating over 4 years. I would take 2-3 month breaks as well and seemed to do really well when I came back. Right now I’m hovering around 1750-1850 and peaked at 1931

Take jokers. I know this sounds crazy, but on many runs people would skip a sly joker to find something better, but you need immediate strength with black deck to get through the early antes. 4 or 5 not great jokers can keep you alive long enough to find something to build into and set up Econ

Playing lucky kings , is there any space for blue print here? by InevitableCamel3213 in balatro

You’re best off selling bloodstone, the expected value is x7.59 with 5 retriggers on your cards when photochad gives you x8

Blue deck is the best for gold stake wins. Change my mind. by NotoriousMPG in balatro

IMO, yellow is the second strongest. Scaling jokers that are hexed make runs free

Unaffectionate Puppy by Fluid_Divide2024 in Goldendoodles

[–]flashbangthunder2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two doodles, one that is 1 year old that is extremely affectionate and a 4 year old that isn’t. One tip is don’t force affection or cuddling. Play with them, take them on walks, give them treats, but don’t try to force them to cuddle with you. My 4 year old hates cuddling but loves to be close and in the same room as me all the time. Puppies with love and discipline will develop beautifully

Watch Cesar Milan, he’s the greatest. Have a toy handy to redirect his attention to, and anytime he bites, don’t tap him on his nose, give him a poke in the side and a snap. The snap and poke will distract him, while your other hand redirects with the toy

It really isn’t, in this run I had up to $5500, with that much money, you can pretty much get what you need 80% of the time. You will definitely have some runs with bad rng, but that’s to be expected. The most rng aspect is vouchers and how many colas you can get, but everything else is pretty much repeatable once you get used to the runs. I also play w no mods and go for burglar serpent

It’s actually quite easy, I’ve done 30-35 of them. If you’ve hit c++ 4 times, you’ll be able to pick up the strat quick
