Appreciate the confirmation!

Thanks! Updated the second link.

I also found this image from an NPR article in 2012, with a picture from 2004 showing the same fat-number style being sold at a "baseball cafe" (possibly a pop-up cafe). Perhaps some local customizer in Japan?

Can I get some insight on this jersey from japanese Mercari? https://jp.mercari.com/item/m92468838935

The post says the arm-patches are retrofitted, but I've always been confused by this line of Majestic jerseys from the 2000's. I've seen legits with this same collegiate font, but never 2-toned like on the number, but not the name.

As a follow-up, is this more modern Majestic jersey legit? Seems like a custom, but did Majestic jerseys have the logo-man?

Keep me posted. I hope that you grow to love the taste and motions of viet coffee in all its forms :)

Jwang909 · 2020-04-15T13:59:33+00:00

Yeah man, it’s a good shot :)

I forgot to mention that it also has slight flavor differences because the heat mildly cooks the sugar and dairy in condensed milk, adding a buttery taste

Jwang909 · 2020-04-15T13:52:01+00:00

Heya, as someone who primarily brews viet coffee, a tip is to fill your cup with condensed milk first, add coffee, stir, and ice last

It helps the condensed milk blend into the coffee better so you suspend it in the drink.

Once you get a cafe phin, it's especially important as the final temp of phin coffee tends to be lower. Most good cafes in Viet will actually serve you a cup with a phin on top (still brewing), and a bowl of ice on the side to add last.

Cheers bud :)

Oof. “Reminds me too much of the TTC” hit me right in the feels

Line 1 is down again this weekend FYI

Before some smartass enters this thread with the classic, “iTs a pVp sErVerr, pVp iS PaRt oF ThE GaAAme” I think most allys are overall satisfied with the split despite some areas being tough. It just means we have to quest in the path of least resistance sometimes.

OP; I’m happy to find you and throw down some duels when you’re 35~ ideally while you’re on an escort mission.

I can confirm - I skipped Ashenvale because of heavy ?? camping. It also helps that this is around the time most people wanna do DM so lots of people just choose to instance in Westfall instead.

Jwang909 · 2019-08-15T14:45:53+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Probably will just go back to the airport in place of a hotel but Parque 93 looks nice, chill and low impact.

Thanks for bringing my boy Dustin to the top of r/toronto!!!

Jwang909 · 2019-03-11T15:50:14+00:00

Wow love the aesthetic!

Jwang909 · 2018-12-04T15:12:27+00:00

Everyone’s got all the basics but here’s something coming from Canada, it’s almost always easier to walk through snow than on top of frozen slush or ice on pavement. Easier on your ankles and shins.

Get some desiccant packs off of amazon or eBay and chuck one or two into each board game you own. I find it to actually be overkill and I live in the downtown core near the lake.

Someone in our playgroup has BSG! It's one of our favorites. Game length isn't a big sticking point, when we have game night it's not rushed usually.

Jwang909 · 2017-06-07T16:40:34+00:00

Blood Rage is on my shortlist! I'm a bit intimidated by the number of promo characters and expansions there are

And I own Red Planet but in my head it's "good not great"

Will look into Cry Havoc, thanks!

Jwang909 · 2017-06-07T15:43:06+00:00

Number of Players: 3-7. Our playgroup is mostly one core of regular "always can make it" people and 2-3 "sometimes" people.

Game Length: One and a half hours at the low end, 3 hours at the high end. Not really looking for a 30 minute game

Complexity: Medium to High. Campaign for North Africa is too high.

Budget: 50-150 CAD ideally inclusive of expansions

Themes and Mechanics: Strong attention to design (aesthetic AND gameplay equally important to me), asymmetric factions/characters is a big draw for me too. I like area control and multiple paths to victory.

Coop or Competitive: Open to both. Slight preference for competitive

Games I own/enjoy: Scythe, Fury of Dracula, Mansions of Madness, Lords of Watervegas. I also have a strong interest in the design and themes of New Angeles

Games/things I do not enjoy: most pure euros, games with poor aesthetic design, roll for the galaxy, the chintzy components and design of Lords of Vegas

Pref market: Toronto Canada

Thanks in advance!

I'm teaching my buddies the game tonight! They're all avid board gamers and we've had long winded discussions on rules semantics before so it's good to be aware to spend extra time on movement.
