    If you think about it, the Memorial Stone in Naruto is way too small for the number of ninjas that Danzo accidentally sacrificed on purpose "for the village".

    So they were going to make a Release that Witch anime all the way back like nine years ago, but they kept running out of money every couple episodes, and for some reason they kept trying to change the script because they didn't like the Animal Crossing atmosphere and wanted it to become Game of Thrones like or something, lmao, so now they can't even release in China with what they have left

    cuz animation is a small circle here, so everyone knows everyone else, like the art director for 三国的星空 is the apprentice of my art director, and that movie's animation team used to work for me, or the company that made 大圣归来 used to be the underlings of one of my execs, etc. etc. etc.

    It's like, despite being influenced/inspired by wuxia, monks in dnd are so weaaak in comparison with standard wuxia... it's like, if you play a monk, you can only be a mook-level character in a wuxia story until you're like level 20, at which point you're just A-tier, not even S-tier

    After all these years, I still think Miroku should have been the name of a girl and not a dude, alas, Maitreya...

    Stephen Chow's name is written 周星馳, he likes to be called 星仔 as his nickname because it makes him feel young, but because of his status within the industry, he is called 星爷, which is a term of elevation and respect. However, if you translate 星爷 into English, the first thing that comes up is Star Lord.

    Maybe it's because anti-orgy is politically correct back in the day, considering sexual gathering of three or more is still illegal and punishable by imprisonment today, but since wuxia genre started, "harem-type" stories have always been around, and have been popular online, but IRL, only "pairing-type" stories are allowed to gain fame, and made into shows, like Jin Yong's, etc., but harem has always been around

    Reading these entertainment stories, I had no idea who "Big Sunglasses" (大墨镜) is, until someone explained it was Wong Kar-wai (王家卫), and he had some controversies which caused him to be censored here, which isn't uncommon, I mean, even Fan Bingbing is censored, but usually it's because authors don't want to use real name, because, you know, then again, Fan was fined 800MM for tax evasion lmao

    It never made sense that Dexter could build up such a massive laboratory without outside funding, and also without heavy industry, or precise instruments, or exotic matter, or eldritch knowledge... just from a then-median income, seemingly average American household, not even as an adult, in less than a decade, without personal income or knowledgeable mentor, while still being disrupted and misunderstood

    It never made sense that the sun wukong inspired pokemon is, for some reason, fire type, instead of rock type... the fighting type can remain, considering the buddhist title at the end of the journey, but the only aspect of sun wukong that is fire is his eyes, but there's no pokemon move that is basically eye beams or whatever

    They have "Time Stop" in Pathfinder just be this lame ass "you move super fast, as if you took another turn (used 12 seconds as if they were 6 seconds), but time never actually stopped"
    then they have "Time Stop" in DND be this "you have jumped outside of the realm of time, such that you affect nothing, but have gained more time as if time stopped"

    The choice of describing it as speeding up you rather than slowing down the entire world is basically to avoid giving odd connotations of a 9th-level (in 3.5/PF) being more wide-ranging in effect than many epic spells (affecting the entire world is on par with shit like Karsus' Avatar). Also avoids weird shit like someone "immune" to Time Stop seeing everything stop any time anyone in the world uses Time Stop.

    A lot of the "同时穿越" stories of the last year have been the type of "nerf the MC, don't share power, etc." type, but this year, a lot of them have become "not only share power, but also jump through hoops of logic, etc." like this one where the MC gains 北冥神功, which can absorb people's internal energy, but uses it to "absorb the power of heaven and earth", and then absorb zombies in RE1

    there's a female genre version of the apocalypse story, there's always revenge involved, the MC always moves out and leaves remote control controlled cameras behind, gets bank grade doors, stores supplies, etc.

    That's all expected, but for some reason the MC also buys cat litter box sand almost all the time, "in case of water stops pumping" as if that's enough to make human feces is not smell
