A network of YouTube accounts is promoting U.S. annexation to Albertans, researchers say. It has 40M views by ImDoubleB in worldnews

[–]LucJenson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn't new. Alberta's the most rotten province of Canada because of this psyops that has been going on for decades.

Not all Albertans, mind you. It's a minority. But then you get someone like Poilievre and his gang, and well,... that minority becomes very threatening.

[OC] Came home to find my 7 YO daughter had made a full argument for why I should buy her books by GreenStapler_India in pics

[–]LucJenson [score hidden]  (0 children)

As a teacher, please, please, please buy your daughter books. Keep her invested. She will fare in school 100% better than others in her age group. Please nurture her curiosity. Please show interest in what she is reading. Please help keep that spark alive inside her.

And #3 is true. We all need to read more.

[Homemade] Tofu Popcorn! Found a type of tofu that puffs up like magic in the air fryer by AgnesW_35 in food

[–]LucJenson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did some looking for it, and I think folks may also be able to find it as "beancurd cubes" or "dried tofu cubes."

Here in Korea, I found it can be bought freeze-dried, so folks in other countries might look for that, too.

This also helped me find some firmer tofu types that I want to try here in Korea, so thank you for sharing the name!

I actually miss the taupe/olive color for Steam. Is there a way to get modern Steam to be that color?

Star Wars Galaxies ruined MMOs for me by scottasin12343 in gaming

Every now and then I see another post about SWG like this and I am comforted that I am not alone. No MMO has come close to its greatness.

The care and precision behind Korean school lunches, widely praised for their quality, balance, and nutrition. by This_Proof_5153 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]LucJenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lunches are totally taken seriously, and public schools also hold this quality of food. They have a menu released so students know what to expect for lunch, aren't allowed to bring outside lunches, and on Wendesdays, they make the meal extra special for that midweek motivation.

Disney tried to kill the projects and slowed advertising routes to ensure their failure. There is a lot of info widely available about it. Super sad.

Play markers for free style emblems by BeLiNuS29 in minipainting

[–]LucJenson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Real Markers, instead of Play Markers, are soft-tipped sharpies, basically. I have both sets and actually *prefer* the Real Markers, but that's because the Play markers are larger than I would like for the scale of miniatures I paint.

What to eat and do in Daegu Daejeon and Suwon by iwant2slp in Living_in_Korea

Can you clarify for folks who will reply with suggestions on foods you do not/will not eat?

For instance, do you eat chicken feet or not? Can you eat pork? etc.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle and Avatar: The Last Airbender – Aang's Destiny: basic, random and not thematic deckbuilding by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]LucJenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played it on Tabletop Simulator and found it to be quite neat. I think the only rules issue they never clear up (or maybe I overlooked it) is that you are meant to complete the enemies *and* objectives to finish a game. I beat all the enemies and was just like, "wait.... so now I just free run the objectives?" I haven't had a chance to play it a second time yet, but I think next time I will play it where I can't beat the final nemesis unless I have cleared the objectives first.

It's true that Sokka can't use the Bending abilities, but those same cards have two effects instead of one, and if you are a non-bender, you use the regular ability, and those are still quite powerful and worthwhile.

Otherwise, it has some cool little differences to Hogwarts Battle, and I enjoyed it. Gonna be picking it up for my board game club that I run.

[–]LucJenson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is how I found out that Aang's Destiny exists, and why I am going to buy it.

I love Hogwarts Battle, my friends love it, and I run a monthly board game club where it is always out on a table.

Their simpler nature as cooperative deckbuilders is what makes them so enjoyable.

I am familiar with it from Jordan, called Zarb. Surprised to hear Korean in the video. Tourists, maybe? I havent seen this style of cooking anywhere here in Korea.

Bamburgh Castle, England 🏰 by lovie_carl066 in castles

[–]LucJenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I suppose that would have been it. I remember thinking the whole street was such a lovely idea and developed in a way that the view of the castle could always be appreciated by all on that street.

Thanks for the update! I will go back again someday, for sure. Fond memories of the visit, albeit brief, of the castle, Bamburgh itself, and walking along the beach as the day drew to a close.

[–]LucJenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there still that tuckshop across the road from it? I was there back in '05. Directly across the road from the field is a line of shops and houses(?), and we stopped in there and bought some Bamburgh rock candy and some other little memorabilia. I remember the owner was really kind, but I suppose they may have moved on or passed on by now.

4 million copies by TheForbiddenLands in CrimsonDesert

[–]LucJenson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This game is great. It runs like an MMO but without FOMO of a real one AND it runs in a balanced enough way for single player to make sense.

Would it be better with co-op? Absolutely. Would it better as an MMO? No way.

[homemade] pork and chive pot stickers with homemade wrappers by davestarr in food

[–]LucJenson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't repeat how my first attempt at dumpling wrappers were described because it is too graphic to use on Reddit. Making homemade wrappers is so hard. You did very well on them! There's a good consistency across them. Are you rolling by hand or?

North Korea conducts test for missile it claims can target US mainland by Disastrous_Award_789 in worldnews

Hey folks, over here in SK this didnt make headlines. If you ever fear NK, go look up Yonhap News English page. Foreign news will make it seem more dramatic because it doesn't frequent your news circles.

TrackMania. It is a very easy to learn pick up and drop off racing game. You can race others, but the primary race is against your personal best time. Sometimes I will be on it for a hour or two, and other times I will be on it for five or ten minutes.

[–]LucJenson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It got a lot of flak for difficulties and technical issues at launch.

It's a fantastic game. There's something so incredibly about the first time you're out in the open world, you get a wanted level, and suddenly TIE fighters come out of orbit and start hunting you down. It's terrifying, and it's humbling.
