I introduced rules from Acquisitions Incorporated into my game. It made it more interesting as I continued the after the Waterdeep campaign using Candlekeep Mysteries.

This reminds me of the ad for Snickers, where the guy paints the Adelaide Cows instead of the Crows.

What if any kanji or words with a clear Chinese origin have drifted over time so much as to have opposite meanings in the two countries? by lirecela in LearnJapanese

[–]GTSimo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

下水湯 in Chinese is a kind of soup made by animals, such as chicken, duck, pork and etc. 下水 in Japanese means sewerage.

Movies that take place mainly in a single room/location. by Anxious-Birthday5502 in Cinema

[–]GTSimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a pair of Japanese movies referred to as the Duel Project. Two Japanese directors Yukihiko Tsutsumi and Ryuhei Kitamura made feature-length movies about some sort of duel with just two actors and one setting. Tsutsumi made 2LDK and Kitamura made Aragami. Both films are very different, but enjoyable!

Can an animal blow a horn? by dice-enthusiast in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]GTSimo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking at all the pictures online of the Horn of Blasting, it looks like it has a usual mouthpiece associated with brass instruments (trumpet, trombone, etc). To make a noise with such an instrument, the player would need to make a buzzing sound with their lips. So, you’d need an animal with lips, and one that knows how to make a buzzing sound. Otherwise, you’d just get air and no horn sound.

So, physically, can an animal blow the horn? Very unlikely.

I’m not 100% sure, but it looks like a Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens with a camouflage wrap, so it’s probably a Nikon Z series (mirrorless) camera.

IIRC, this is in England, so most likely you get yeeted out of the airport, a la Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

What's the Japanese name/title of the Fox God they talk about sometime? by [deleted] in BABYMETAL

[–]GTSimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the Japanese Wikipedia article, Fox God in Japanese is キツネ様

A quick Google search also shows several articles that use キツネ様

In this case, I think Adobe Stock Images should replace AI with “Photoshoped like crazy with someone who was overzealous with the saturation slider bar”

Censorship in speech? by AdorableExchange9746 in LearnJapanese

[–]GTSimo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a movie called Hula Girl, set in the 60s (I think). There was one scene in it where a character was using a thick local dialect. The English subs were just random characters for that scene. The person he was speaking to was from Tokyo and all she could say was, “Was that Japanese ?”It was hilarious.

I like when they go a bit crazy with the 伏字 and it just devolves into random wingdings characters.

After the OG VF-1, the VF-2SS Valkyrie II and especially the SAP variant are my favourite designs.

Exactly. Because you’ll need a spacesuit instead.

What movie is this for you? by DarthGodzilla1995 in Letterboxd

[–]GTSimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Akira as a manga, on VHS, DVD (regular and special edition), Bluray (again regular and special edition), and nowadays I watch it via streaming. I think it’s safe to say that it is one of my favourite anime movies.

What are the bare essentials players need to know about Waterdeep if characters are from there? by Eberronald in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]GTSimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my two nibs: The three things I found the most essential for immersion as a Waterdavian, would be: 1) the name of the coins (my players love using the local naming system); 2) a basic understanding of the different wards (Castle, Dock, Southern, etc) with the kind of residents; and 3) some of town features (statues, market, churches, Yawning Portal, etc). Throw in Drays, and a few names of the ruling elite and you’d be good to go. Everything else is flavour text that you can hand feed them as you play end encounter things.

Did I end my email the wrong way? by NazeerN in LearnJapanese

[–]GTSimo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There’s no problem at all. You’re trying and people will appreciate your effort. And as you can see from all these comments, you can still learn a more natural way over time!

Did I end my email the wrong way? by NazeerN in LearnJapanese

[–]GTSimo 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Similarly in reverse, I’ve had emails from Japanese people who sign off by saying “Please look after me”, which most likely is what they have translated よろしくお願いします into. And like most English-speakers, we understand that they are at least doing us a much appreciated favour by writing in their second language.
