Nezha, Jumbo and IShowSpeed’s streams shows that the rest of the world want to express themselves in their own terms instead of big media’s piss colored filter. Also, if you think that corporate media is on the side of American creatives, then you couldn’t be more wrong!

Even if big media deigned to throw some bones to the Asian minorities, they would actually find some big-name actors from Malaysia and Hong Kong, like Michelle Yeoh and Tony Leung, instead of actual Asian Americans. Why, because Asians are interchangeable?

There might be a case for minorities living in US, where the media is monopolized by a handful of media corporations, to demand representation. But they’re just making a Faustian bargain, gentrifying their identity to the corporate media’s palate for scraps of recognition.

After Nezha comes Jumbo!
Jumbo is breaking records by becoming the highest-grossing homegrown animated film ever in the Indonesia. Hollywood should know that the rest of the world doesn’t want their representation, they want self-expression!

D&D is the Mount Fuji of Tabletop RPG. As a TTRPG game designer, avoiding to talk about it just adds an extra barrier between the creator and the TTRPG players.

Went to Kamakura's Big Buddha. It's very mecha punk for a statue built almost 800 years ago.

Call of Cthulhu remains tremendously popular in Japan. There is a half-shelf of fan made scenarios in a 2nd hand shop. Some CoC hacks go beyond the horror genre with colourful covers and focus on other themes. Many still play 6th edition.

RPGs may have evolved out of wargaming, but its value proposition is that it offers "something more" than wargaming, such as roleplaying and narrative opportunities.
Too much focus on the wargaming aspect forgets what makes RPGs special.

The book contains a lot of short scenarios (25+) based on the missions of Armored Core 6 video game. The scenario stories are presented as a series of dialogues.

You can attempt multiple hits with different weapons, with different costs, but the number of hits use the same damage scaling spending on weapon type. Positioning uses a zone system. Multiple ally and enemy mechs can be in the same zone.

Resolution: Actions, such as attacking with weapons or evasion, have dice costs. The squared number slot means you have to get a total that matches or exceeds the number with your rolled energy dice. Some actions require fulfilling multiple number slots.

Mechs have different lines of AP (hitpoints). Every line of AP that’s completely damaged, the mech is staggered. Some mechs have longer AP lines, for stability, but less AP overall. The mech is destroyed if the “Core” part has no more AP.

The main difference between mech types is their leg type. There are different sheets dedicated to mechs of different leg types.

Mech Build is straight forward.
Mechs start at team level 10. They have 10 points to build their mech, and the money/experience is rolled into one resource known as COAM. But Coam is more similar to EXP than gold. There are prebuilt mechs.

Play Tools:
- D6 Dice pool (Main)
- Playing cards
The main resolution tool is the pool of D6 dice, which represents the AC mech’s energy output and a resource for actions. The playing cards are for combat initiative & bosses.

I bought the Japanese Armored Core 6 TRPG on release day and had a good look through it. It is quite different from what we are used to in the West.

I just saw Nezha 2 today. Here's my review:
Animation: 9
Art Direction: 9
Fight Choreography: 9
Story: 8
Cultural Barrier: 4 (Low)

This is a world-class animated movie.
The CHN film industry has overcome its past weaknesses and massively leveled up.

Translating (Queen of Heart) Queenie's name in the context of various languages is an interesting exercise.
Japanese: She can be just "クイニー"(Queenie)
Indonesian: "Ratu" which means queen but it has "Rat" in it.
Chinese: "老娘娘" (Old Mistress) but it has 老, from 老鼠 (Rat).
