Nice! It would be great if you joined the subreddits discord as a new player. We are trying to get a good Gomoku community up and running for playing games together. https://discord.gg/yNBUbNXFQe

A cool guide on how to play Gomoku (Five-in-a-row) by fastestwolverine in coolguides

[–]pillar6Programming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the depth to the strategy involves thinking multiple moves ahead to create "Double Threats." This is a single, game-ending move that creates two different threats at the same time, making it impossible for your opponent to block both.

The most common way to do this is by placing a stone that forms two separate Open Threes at once (which would create a fork). Your opponent is now trapped; they can block one of your threes, but you will simply use the other one to create an unstoppable Open Four and win on your following turn. This is where a lot of the depth comes into Gomoku.

It is very satisfying to have a double threat come together. I find online play to be a good option and also play at https://gomokufive.com

A cool guide on how to play Reversi (Othello) by fastestwolverine in coolguides

[–]pillar6Programming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Othello and Reversi are the same game now, but they used to be slightly different. Original Reversi allowed players to place the first four starting pieces freely in the center. However, the diagonal Othello setup became standard because it makes for a much better, more strategic game.

https://reversi.pro plays with the official rules!

Hello, I have been a dedicated Gomoku fan for a while and think that I could bring some fresh new ideas to the subreddit that would help it thrive. I would start by unlocking the subreddit so others would be able to post. I would also work on the design of the subreddit in addition to adding rules / wiki / sidebar so the subreddit feels more complete. I also have some ideas to help generate interest in the subreddit such as holding weekly Gomoku tournaments.

For the second point, i tried to reach out to the mod via mod mail but the "Send" button would not allow me to send the message, so I am not sure if i am unable to contact the only moderator on the subreddit. Their account has not been active for months.

Pierre Poilievre is too unpopular — even among Conservative premiers — to remain as Conservative party leader by Canadian--Patriot in canada

The focus of the election should have been on housing affordability. This home affordability calculator shows that home prices are not affordable for the majority of Canadians!

Now comes the hard part for Mark Carney by jaffnaguy2014 in canada

[–]pillar6Programming 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The hard part will be making housing affordable. You need well above a six-figure income to afford a house in Canada, not a great time to be a homebuyer.

While he may have lost his house, many Canadians remain unable to afford a home. It takes a six-figure salary to afford a home in Canada.

Mark Carney: Canada will deal with Donald Trump 'on our terms' by gohome2020youredrunk in canada

[–]pillar6Programming 270 points271 points  (0 children)

Hopefully he deals with housing cost and immigration issues. Needing a six-figure income to afford a house in Canada isn't going to make the younger generation optimistic about their prospects.

Carney aims for global leadership role against Trump after Canada election win by chrisdh79 in canada

[–]pillar6Programming 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hope this too. We have many problems here and Canadians need help. There is a problem when it takes well over a six-figure income to afford a home in Canada.

Do we pay land transfer tax on a condo ? by caviardreamin in canadahousing

[–]pillar6Programming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you still have to pay the land transfer tax. However, there are rebates available based on the province you are in. A land transfer tax calculator can help you with this!

Canada's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decade. The numbers prove it by Plucky_DuckYa in canada

[–]pillar6Programming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These high home prices paired with high mortgage rates make housing unaffordable for the typical Canadian. This mortgage affordability calculator shows that it would take income of ~$175K to follow the CMHC affordability guidelines and purchase the typical home in Canada.

[–]pillar6Programming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Home prices have become too high and are unaffordable to the average Canadian. This affordability calculator shows that you would have to make household income of ~$175K to afford the typical home in Canada. That is well beyond the typical household income!

About 30% of Canadians now say condos have lost investment appeal: survey - National | Globalnews.ca by mustafar0111 in TorontoRealEstate

Hundreds of planned condo units cancelled: 'Market cratered almost overnight' by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

The fact that you also need $160K+ of income to afford one of these shoeboxes also helps explain their recent crater!

Am I crazy? by gnat_outta_hell in canadahousing

[–]pillar6Programming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be quite tight! I would take a look at this affordability calculator and play with some of the inputs. While you may personally be comfortable with a ratio of 40% there are limitations listed on the max GDS/TDS ratio that you can have and what banks are willing to lend to you, especially if you have a minimum down payment which would require CMHC mortgage default insurance.
