![]() ![]() The Starfleet higher-ups can never be on the same page, can they? At the end, various riot acts are starting to be read, until Burnham reveals she can track Booker thanks to a hidden transponder she has planted. Vance has Burnham take on the mission to stop Book against Rillak's wishes.Tarka has stolen the Federation's new prototype spore drive so that he and Booker can jump around like Discovery.Tarka continues to get the best acerbic one-liners: "You're boring me.The inclusion of a DS9 Changeling as a casual throwaway only had me wondering where the Dominion actually is in this century.Maybe if this show would spend a little more effort exploring its sci-fi mysteries in compelling and believable ways rather than just piling on chilling discoveries with minimal context and on-the-spot conjured technobabble, this would work better. But notice how this changes nothing in terms of the mission or how the characters approach it, only reinforcing what they already know they need to do (stop Booker and Tarka). Just like the discovery that the DMA was artificially created came after about 30 seconds of unpersuasive dialogue, we get here the revelation that the DMA is actually a mining device being used to collect the energy needed to power Species 10-C's presumed superior technology. One thing that continues to irk me on this show is the way characters are able to jump to new conclusions with regard to the sci-fi properties of the DMA simply because the story decides they can. Burnham loses to Booker, as she must for this storyline to continue, but the actors do a good job of selling the cost of the choices made, and this looks to solidify the end point of their relationship (maybe). For all the lacking inspiration here, this mostly accomplishes its modest goals and is decently executed. Book and Burnham must face off against each other in order to win this week's MacGuffin - the isolynium, the unobtainium substance necessary to create the isolytic explosion that can destroy the DMA - but must first work together to defeat a pair of other players (using over-the-table signals that would get you kicked out of any casino worth its salt) lest they end up with the dreaded isolynium and do something awful with it. The same goes for the poker tournament, overseen by Haz Mazaro (Daniel Kash), who keeps altering the deal and telling you to pray he doesn't alter it further. ![]() As plot goes, it's pretty basic - but also kind of fun. On the plus side, this episode is a good showcase for Owosekun (I will never argue with this show providing spotlights for the supporting characters, particularly Owo, the most likable of the bunch), even if it can't be bothered to think of a more imaginative use of her than putting her in a ring where she takes two dives so she can hustle her competitor before then kicking his ass. On the other hand, setting this aboard an alien port amid the major set pieces of an Epic Cage Fight and a High-Stakes Poker Tournament feels a bit tropey. When you consider the previous episode ended with Booker deciding to go with Tarka to pursue their forbidden mission to destroy the DMA, do you really need "All In" to explicitly show how Booker and Burnham come to grips with that realization and further affirm to each other that they're committed to their positions? On the one hand, Sonequa Martin-Green and David Ajala do a good job of making me believe the emotional stakes of this relationship. This episode is not strictly necessary, but then what episode of television is? (I guess it's probably a problem if I'm waxing philosophic on the existence of all television episodes.) Fortunately, the lack of ambition is somewhat offset by the fact that at least there's a solid character core here, even if that character core feels mostly redundant when considering what happened at the end of the previous episode. ![]() This is fine as a routine stopgap sort of episode, but the lack of ambition is notable. "All In" describes the subject, but not the spirit, of this week's episode of Discovery. ![]()

![]() ![]() If you try these Crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets or another of my recipes, feel free to leave a comment on how it goes.Here at That Salad Lady, tofu is one of our favorite plant-based proteins. Looking for more delicious crispy snacks or appetizers? Then you may also like these vegan recipes: Actually, even frozen they reheat perfectly so you can and have homemade vegan chicken nuggets in no time! The baking time may vary when they’re frozen but it makes still a very quick meal or snack! I hope you’ll love these Crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets. You can also double or triple the recipe if you want to make a big batch of these to freeze for later. ![]() However, I also like to snack on them cold, for example on top of a sandwich or wrapped in a tortilla or burrito. You can store leftovers in the fridge and then reheat in the oven for a few minutes until hot and crispy again. However, if you want to give it a try, please let me know how it goes! How to store and freeze Crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets Even though I have an air-frier at home, I haven’t tried making air-fried Tofu Nuggets yet. The breadcrumb coating gets perfectly crispy, and the tofu takes on a delicious texture which reminds me of real chicken nuggets. You could also fry these tofu nuggets if you want, but I find they are absolutely perfect when baked. Simply pop the breaded tofu fingers into the oven and bake until crispy. That way, they will get super crispy and just perfect! Step 3: How to make Crispy Baked Tofu NuggetsĪs I mentioned before, these are crispy baked tofu nuggets and not fried nuggets! So they’re healthier because baking requires less oil than frying. Continue with the rest of the tofu and place your breaded tofu fingers on a lightly greased baking sheet. I do this step 2 times before coating them with the breadcrumb mixture. However, when I make vegan chicken nuggets, I prefer a double coating method by dipping the tofu fingers in vegan buttermilk first, then dip into cornstarch. Just find out which method works best for you! Instead of using only non-dairy milk or create vegan buttermilk (combine the milk with vinegar, then set aside to curdle), as I prefer to do, you can also stir 1/3 cup of flour and 1/3 cup of non-dairy milk together to make a sticky paste, or whisk 2 flax-eggs (or regular eggs, if you’re not vegan) with a little milk. There are several ways to make breadcrumbs stick to the tofu. When your tofu slices are well pressed and look dense, cut them into fingers and start with the breading. ![]() How to make breadcrumbs stick to the tofu This step is very important if you want super Crispy Baked Buffalo Tofu Nuggets! Step 2: Crispy Coating Then place a heavy pan or another weight on top and set it aside for at least 30 minutes. Simply slice the tofu, and then press out as much of the liquid as you can by wrapping the tofu slices in paper towels (or a clean kitchen towel). How to cook Crispy Tofu Step 1: Press TofuĮven though these Vegan Chicken Nuggets are baked and not fried, it makes the crispiest and most delicious tofu! Just make sure to use firm tofu for the best results. This way you always know what ingredients your meals contain and you can adjust them to your taste and preference. That’s why I prefer to make everything from scratch when I have the time. However, such prepared foods are often expensive and/or contain unusual ingredients which I think are not very healthy at all. I‘m pretty sure there are already many vegan and vegetarian meatless nuggets available in the stores which you can buy ready-made. Just reheat and enjoy anytime! Homemade Vegan Chicken Nuggets If you’ve ever loved the taste of chicken nuggets but you went vegan, vegetarian or just want to eat less meat, then this recipe will be your new favorite for sure! These tofu nuggets are crispy, baked and tasty, so it’s a great way to still enjoy chicken nuggets but without the meat! I totally love this recipe because it’s so simple and if you make a big batch, you can easily freeze them for another day. These Crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets are meatless chicken fingers that are tossed in a flavourful barbecue sauce! It’s an easy to make vegan chicken nuggets recipe that is so delicious!

![]() It’s small enough (7.3 inches) that it didn’t dominate our bike when using the bottle-cage clip, and it can also fit securely in a jersey pocket. This pump is a great tool for riders who typically rely on CO2 cartridges but also like to have manual insurance. Not dual action, so takes a little longer to fill a high volume mtb tire.Though it may seem minor, it’s incredibly useful when you’re trying to hit 17 psi and you accidentally overfill. We wished for only one thing: a release valve to let out the pressure. But testing confirmed that this pump’s gauge is accurate at all points, and we consistently reach for the Air Tool when filling mountain bike tires. The plastic handle and loose-fitting plunger give the feel of a discount product. ![]() And move a lot of air it does-it took us only 20 strokes to fill a 29 x 2.6-inch tire to 20 psi. Like those pumps, the Air Tool MTB also has a metal barrel, although it’s much larger in diameter to move a higher volume of air with each stroke. The stable metal base is the same as the Air Tool and Air Tool Comp V2. Of all the pumps on this list, this one has the gauge that’s the easiest to use for setting a precise tire pressure. The three-inch gauge goes up to only 40 psi, with big, easy-to-read markings in one-pound increments. This high-volume pump is, as the name suggests, made specifically for filling mountain bike tires. Not good for inflating tires past 40 psi. ![]() Although we also wish the pump head had a bleed valve, we still use it regularly and appreciate its versatility across a wide range of tire sizes and widths. However, the variations are consistent and repeatable, meaning the Air Tool Comp will inflate your tire the same way every time. Our testing found that it reads two psi low for pressures up to 30 psi, then reads between four and five psi low from 35 up to 100. However, the gauge leaves something to be desired when it comes to accuracy. It also means a cleaner workshop: One pump can replace a mountain bike pump with a low-pressure gauge and a road bike pump with high-pressure gauge. That means it’s easy to read for almost any tire without the hassle of a digital gauge and batteries. The Air Tool Comp V2 has a dual-range pressure gauge: Half of the gauge is for low pressures and runs from zero to 30 psi in one-psi gradients, while the other half is for high-pressure tires and runs from 30 to 120 psi in two-psi gradients. But now it offers one of the smartest too. Specialized already makes a very good floor pump.

This illustration at least (which I believe is from 4e) clearly shows a warhammer.) (This should not be confused with a warhammer, which is very much a soldier's weapon-it's labeled in the PHB as a "war pick", a martial weapon, 1d8 piercing damage. Note that the only NPCs who have "light hammer" on their statblocks are the Pirate Bosun (Saltmarsh) and the Scorchbringer Guard (Ravnica)-folks who do mechanical repairs. It deals improvised weapon damage and has the improvised weapon throwing range. An improvised thrown weapon has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.įrom this I deduce that the light hammer is a construction tool, not a real weapon. If a character uses a ranged weapon to make a melee attack, or throws a melee weapon that does not have the thrown property, it also deals 1d4 damage. This is suspiciously similar to the properties of an improvised weapon:Īn object that bears no resemblance to a weapon deals 1d4 damage (the DM assigns a damage type appropriate to the object). And adding finesse to a hammer seems very non-thematic. On the other hand, as stated above, I don't think there is a problem to be fixed. It is true that this probably won't come up that often and you said you don't find this important but it is a fact. While adding finesse to the light hammer won't have many mechanical consequences, it means that Dex based characters now have a finesse bludgeoning weapon against skeletons. Finesse seems very non-thematic on a hammer ![]() ![]() Then again, I don't see why it is absolutely necessary to only have weapons that have a use for the optimizer. When you start to consider that every weapon should have their advantages, you have even more work. It is the same as a spear but needs martial weapons proficiency. Similarly, there is really no reason to specifically use a trident. The sickle is equally bad as the light hammer. The light hammer is not the only weapon that you would never use from a perspective of power. Not all weapons are equally powerful and they don't need to be Is there anything specific to bludgeoning damage that would make this a bad idea? Dwarven rogues would thank you if it were done. My thought: could we instead assign it an additional weapon property to compensate for the lesser damage (perhaps as a race feature, if not for everyone)?įor characters of dwarven (and perhaps forest gnome?) ancestry, for example, it seems more race-appropriate to use light hammers in place of daggers, and if they were a finesse weapon, dexterity-based characters might do so. The historically-appropriate change might be some kind of attack/damage bonus when hammers are used against solid armor types (breastplate, half plate, or full plate), but for this change to be meaningful you'd have to do the same for mace, war hammer, and maul - and none of those weapons need it. hand axe - most of the time, damage type just doesn't matter. I am willing to concede this argument, though to me, the RAW light hammer still feels imbalanced vs. The typical objection I've seen is its potential for use against monsters vulnerable to bludgeoning attacks (e.g. People elsewhere have discussed increasing light hammer damage to 1d6 as a possible homebrew fix. As written, I can't see why anyone would choose it. This makes the light hammer - 1d4, light, thrown - inferior to these other thrown weapons in damage, and short of the dagger in its lack of finesse. Most other thrown weapons of this type (hand axe, javelin, and spear) all do 1d6 damage with a secondary property thrown in - hand axe is light, javelin has extended range, and spear is versatile. When playing RAW, the only simple melee weapon with the finesse property is the dagger (PHB page 149). ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: If you don’t have easy access to an Ethernet cable, you can also create a MoCA network using the TiVo Bridge accessory.

Rating: ★ ★ ★✰ A weird but oddly enjoyable trip down memory lane.As Judy is waiting in the front room, Walter Griggs gives Judy a coffee and a scrapbook and he tells her to read the book. Daddy Long Legs makes a pretty good anime, because at its heart it’s shoujo storytelling with all the proper ingredients: a spunky heroine, a few rich and handsome guys, and the trials of growing up and falling in love. However, it has awakened a latent desire to seek out the musical of the same name, and possibly even the book and (if possible) the anime series from the Nineties. Even if I still had the VHS copy of it somewhere, I probably wouldn’t watch it over and over again. The songs played throughout are a little creepy and/or sad, in my opinion, but overall, rewatching this movie was a good experience. The English dub holds up pretty well, too. (I’m not quite there yet, but getting close!) The art is basic and not overly detailed, but considering that this was done in the Seventies, it’s not bad. While I’ll still admit that it is a noticeable age difference, it makes me laugh to remember a time when I thought that thirty-three was old. ![]() I remember thinking at the time that one of Judy’s suitors, the uncle of her roommate, was way too old for her (thirty-three to Judy’s eighteen). I recall watching and enjoying this anime when I was quite young. Judy meets her roommie’s uncle: compared to a vampire, thirty-three is nothing! And everyone loves a vampire romance. Because of this, Judy nicknames him “Daddy Long Legs,” and addresses her letters as such (which are sent to his lawyer’s office). A car’s headlights elongate his shadow, making him appear to be extremely tall. Judy is thrilled, and runs downstairs just in time to see the shadow of her benefactor on his way out. All that she has to do in return is agree to write him a letter once a month, updating him on college life, and she must never know his real name or expect any letters in return. After the meeting, the headmistress tells Judy that the richest member of the board has agreed to pay for Judy to attend college. The headmistress says that she has to clear it with the board of trustees. She confesses to the headmistress that she would like to attend college. Since I’ve never read the novel I can’t be sure how much the anime movie deviates from the original story, but here’s the skinny on the film’s plot: Judy Abbott has just come of age in the orphanage where she was raised.

A remake of the original game is available to buy on Steam. The English version of the full game can be found here. The official website is here, two download mirrors for the free version are here, and an English translation for the free version is available here. this is true to a variable extent of movies, music and books- not just games.īeing rated by a censorship board simply affects visibility and likelihood of being sold in big third party outlets like the above & now Steam/ Netflix.Hatoful Boyfriend (Japanese title はーとふる彼氏) is a game about a human hunter-gatherer girl (named by you, default Hiyoko Tousaka) who goes to a high school for birds, St. RIP).Īlso, fees for things like being rated by a censorship board are often what a publishing company actually provides in their deal with the client. *but* visibility on the Steam platform means sales can be made beyond that niche- sales of which Valve gets a cut.įyi, the same policy that Gamestop employs (not carrying unrated titles) was often true of video rentals when they were a thing (Blockbuster. Steam, however, has realized there is a lot of money in small titles that do not feel compelled to be rated, since usually these titles can make a set amount of sales by independent internet publishing alone, as their primary buying audience is a pre-existent niche. This is why i said that most games "voluntarily" apply for censorship ratings - they won't be able to sell their games through third party services if they don't. this is usually simply to avoid liability suits as i outlined with the movie metaphor above. In fact, most major/mainstream sales outlets (for games, a US example would be Gamestop) flat out *refuse* to carry titles that do not have a rating from their own country's censorship board. Most media simply won't be made "readily accessible" if it doesn't have a rating, at least prior to the advent of the internet. However, if i want my backyard-movie to be carried by say, Netflix, then i have to comply with their policies which are going to involve having my movie rated by a censorship board and meeting their requirements. I could film a 2hour movie in my backyard and upload it to the internet or sell it on tapes, and no police would come after me (because i live in the USA.) unless it contained actual illegal content or i could be proved accountable for an illegal act (example: in the USA it's illegal to provide porn to minors, hence why all pornography is in a hurry to get a rating if they're distributing it from within the country). ![]() ![]() Well the point is, NO media-type is actually technically required to have a rating to self-publish in most non-conservative countries (i can't make a sweeping statement here because censorship is governed by two things: the platform that provides media, and then the law or lack thereof) Just FMI, do movies work the same way and are not obligated to have a rating? Anyway thanks i'll go do some reading online thanks for all the info everyone. ![]() Originally posted by Sarumoon:Awesome thanks. as we all know, unless books are outright banned or purely pornographic in nature, they usually do not come with ratings beyond vague statements like "Young Adult" Tl dr - if the game is not determined to have "adult" (18+) content by steam, the game is not obliged to be rated at all unless the publishers want a rating.Įdit to say: also, this game is closer in nature to a book than any other form of media (i.e movies) as are many other games these days. If you look through all the indie games on steam, you will actually see that MANY of them have no ratings, and only ones with content determined as "possibly 18+" by steam's personal censorship board may have that rating inflicted on them. This is an indie game, and like many indie games, as such does not feel the obligation to apply for a censorship rating since their majority sales do not pend on having a rating. this helps with sales, which is why most AAA titles have ratings. ![]() when a game has a rating, it's because the publishers APPLIED to be rated.
