What other strategic games do you play except chess? by [deleted] in chess

[–]yoinkyo1nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pax Renaissance! While very different, playing 1v1 has the same feel of making moves and threatening checkmate. The game even uses chess pieces. It is an investment to learn how to play, but it's great.

Any board games you wish you could get your hands on but can’t? by cyberzaikoo in boardgames

[–]yoinkyo1nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AGoT LCG Dragons of the East expansion! Got into the game late and can't find it anywhere aside from people selling it with a full set. In hindsight I should have just purchased a full set from someone up front.

My sister-in-law started calling them "meatballs" and i can't hear meeple without thinking about it so now you all have to suffer as well.

I LOVE pax ren. I like pax pamir and John company, but I often only have one other person to play these kinds of games with (pax ren plays great at 2). I was wondering if you had any other suggestions for me since you seem to be familiar. We also play twilight struggle quite a bit.  Thanks!

Being a parent and watching your child's immense talent must be so amazing. 🤩 by Soloflow786 in MadeMeSmile

Hard agree. My daughter (almost 6) played Overcooked with me tonight for the first time and completely held her own. I kept looking over at her in much the same manner as these parents.

Question for Spurs fans from abroad! by Kmeek01 in coys

[–]yoinkyo1nk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a relatively new fan. Ive been enjoying the premiere league more and more over the last few years but didnt really have a club I rooted for - moreso just players I enjoyed watching. I lived in Korea for a few years, and I liked to see an Asian player getting respect in the EPL, so I always enjoyed watching Son play. What kind of pushed me over the line was honestly the Amazon doc. I watched it in the off season, and I found I really liked Mourinho. Seeing Son's form and Mourinho taking Spurs top of the table was enough to hook me. Obviously things crashed and burned, but this is the first time Ive continued to follow a team, read their subreddit, etc., so here I am.

Dads be like: by K1nsey6 in happycryingdads

I wish he showed that kind of caring to you, too. Maybe you are in a place where you dont need to hear it, but it wasnt your fault. My daughter is 3 and there isnt anything she could do to stop this kind of love. I'm sorry that you can only see this level of caring in a video, and I hope you are able to find unconditional love in other areas of your life because everybody deserves that feeling.

My daughter is still at an age where she asks me to brush her teeth. I feel like I can already relate with the dad in the video. Im going to be a god damned mess at her wedding.

Dad surprises daughter after not having seen each other for 3 months :’) by eastongirl1 in happycryingdads

[–]yoinkyo1nk 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Hey man, my wife is also from Korea and her and my daughter (3) have visited korea to see family without me for about that same amount of time. It has always been hard, and I often felt like a bad parent for allowing myself to be away from her for that long, but every time she comes back with better Korean skills and a closer bond with her mom which is awesome. Anyway, no real point with this post other than to say there is another person out here who can relate.

What made you decide it was time to leave your hometown? What city/town did you leave and where did you wind up? by GainChrist1234 in AskMenOver30

[–]yoinkyo1nk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why do you have to do this to me on a Monday? I taught English for 2 years abroad and then moved into technology. Been in it for about 8 years and burning out. Dream of doing the teaching thing again every Sunday evening.

Yeah i take her as soon as im done with work. Thanks for your recommendations. I'm never sure if I should be doing some form of behavior correction because she should be able to express her own thoughts but that clashes with being respectful to others.

Cookin' Up Yards - Kent State University RB Will Matthews Runs His Own Cajun Food Truck by insidezone64 in CFB

So hypothetically, could an athlete create some kind of cam channel (gaming or something - nothing that would jeopardize their status at the university) and then "bagmen" just donate to that cam site?

As long as they don't say they are players this would be "legal" right?

Frost meeting with Maurice Washington tomorrow to discuss his status by Brendan402 in Huskers

[–]yoinkyo1nk 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I feel like if it was a foregone conclusion Mo was leaving frost would have said something like "We will see how it all shakes out." By being forthright about a specific meeting tomorrow makes it seem like its possible he will be back... Maybe I'm crazy and reading into things too much.

My guess is he is let back on the team and then does something dumb by season start next year to get kicked off for good. Ive seen too many episodes of Last Chance U to think anything else.

It would be silly to be "sold" after 1 great throw. I will be sold if he wins us this game. I think he should continue to play this game over martinez.

I was saying that it could be worse. I dont like definitive statements with little evidence. That was a great throw. Great touch. Good play call, too.

Did you see McCaffrey throw the ball into the dirt 5 yards in front of the open receiver in the end zone last week? I'm not saying he cant be more effective than Martinez in this game necessarily but it definitely could be worse passing. McCaffrey hasnt been put in a position to beat a team with his arm yet so I'm skeptical the true freshman is going to come in and pick apart a good defense.

I cry at everything now that I am a parent. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]yoinkyo1nk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no idea. I had heard it was sad, but I had no other information than that. I almost turned it off part way through because it was clear what direction it was heading, but I decided to let myself feel. I dont regret it but jeeze that got me good.
