Could someone tell me the song playing at 15:57 of this video?

Your link leads to the youtube home page, for me at least. Not sure what's up with that.

[Neonivek]

Lets expand it to just games for the 3ds... what is good?

But yes Bravely Default 2 is it good? (it goes by a different name)

[Frumple]

It appears to be, poking around. Biggest complaint folks seem to have is that it's a fair bit like the first, so not having played that is probably a good thing. Don't have a 3DS, though, so haven't exactly tried it myself.

It should be fixed now.

Theres plenty of good things on the 3ds. What sort of things are you looking for neon?

Turn based stuff like RPGs or something with a good story...

Less focus on action.

I don't remember the name of the song, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the soundsense seasonal tracks.

Who is PlumpHelmetPunk?

PHP is one of those fancy fellows who were at one time called Let's Players, and he's great. Also does professional photography, and should do more hitbox streams because I am cold and dead without them. His house burned down some months ago because his neighbors are idiots and set an entire forest on fire. I believe his forum account is A Dwarven Smokeologist, not used very much. Also goes by Amnesiac Jack in some places. Has the voice of a particularly rugged noir detective, but doesn't talk about dames as much.

Gosh, I forgot to respond to this. Where are my manners?

Thanks for the info, even if I'd figured out the "great" part already.
Stumbled onto his videos whilst looking for Jagged Alliance 2 gameplay... starting to think I should have skipped buying the game and just watched his videos of it instead. This should keep me entertained for a while! Also, his house burned down? Daaaamn, that's never fun.

Edit: What does "gjestelisteplass" mean? I believe it's Norwegian. I'm guessing it's something obscene, but who knows.

Ok here is an impossible question!

So Milk is apparently an uncommon ingredient in 15th century Joseon... To the extent that the only usual source of it in the capital is the palace.

Why?

Do they lack dairy cows? Is it that they don't use cows? Or is it so expensive to raise dairy animals AND there are so many people who are lactose intolerant... that it becomes a luxury that is only really bestowed upon the super rich?

I cannot possibly imagine it needing to be imported.

Edit:

Ok a PARTIAL answer is that milk as milk (not cheese, not yogurt, not curds, not mead) was extremely uncommon because it spoils almost instantly.

You can't even sell milk in a market... You either get it fresh or you don't get it because it will spoil in less than a day (you won't even get to save it for later)

So the reason that they might only be able to get milk from the palace is because... They likely milked it on demand... and only the Palace could possibly keep cows for just that purpose.

[Mech#4]

I'd assume that would be the whole answer. Farmers have cows but they live in the countryside so you'd need a cart to get the milk into the city. The trip would take time, no refridgeration plus the bumpiness might cause the milk to seperate. Plus you'd have to use it all quickly and get more within the next day or so which would cost quite a bit more than other alternatives.

Was dairy much of a thing anywhere in East Asia?

[Mech#4]

I don't think so. I think pigs were more common than cattle but I haven't done any research on the matter.

[Neonivek]

India has quite a few dairy products and dishes (as well as having a long history with cows)

As well my research suggests that China had used milk for centuries (though exactly when it started is beyond me... the earliest they give is 16th century)

As well the Mongols extensively used Goat Milk and Tibet extensively uses butter (even making a tea out of butter)

Korea I obviously already learned about.

The only location that seems to have avoided dairy in general is Japan, but that is a product of their lack of proper grazing land that would contain cows.

Incidentally, there are three separate locations where lactose tolerance developed through different mutations: Northern Europe, India, and a spot near Mali/Nigeria Only the first managed a major spread.

We should crossbreed these three mutations into a single person with superhuman milk-drinking abilities.
