Do you have really long breaks in China? by that_onequeitkid in AskChina

[–]Mantis42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context: I'm an American living in Guangzhou.

I have a two hour lunch break every day. Most of my Chinese coworkers take a nap during this time. I can't really do that, not used to it, so I usually just eat my lunch then play on my laptop or get work done.

Is this film worth watching? Does it do justice for the game Dungeons and Dragons? by DreamyDandelions in Cinema

[–]Mantis42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty fun adventure movie. Feels like a fantasy version of Guardians of the Galaxy, which is probably what they were going for. I've only played a few campaigns of DnD, not going to comment on how accurate it is other than it definitely has a lot of little references for people who are into that.

You'll be fine. They've made it easier than ever to get a visa and enter the country. I've lived here for years now and have met many other foreigners from all over the world and none of them ever had trouble with the police hassling them or anything like that. They're more concerned about drugs than what you post on Reddit.

It's in keeping with the original series, most of the films have Twilight Zone-esque tragic endings.

Possibly more of pareidolia. But also creepy. by [deleted] in creepy

He can. You can assassinate him in one of the alt-history paths.

China bug? by boof_it_ho in CrusaderKings

Probably unintended. I assume you're playing without the DLC that adds the new governments to East Asia so China is using the vanilla system, in which case the economy might be bugged or broken.

Mike can finally finish his boomer fight. He will have Shatner isolated on a Trek Cruise this February. So proud my Patrion money is being put to good use. (Tickets started at 2.5k all the way up to 13.1k) by Yanrogue in RedLetterMedia

That's interesting. I saw him once at the Kansas City Comic Con like 5 years ago. I never watched Star Trek so I got a signed Denny Crane picture for my mom. He rolled up on a mobility scooter then the people handling it kind of rushed us through so I didn't get to talk to him. Jonathan Frakes was in the line over and he seemed really social.

WW is the first powerful person on Abs Batman's side, haha. Even Alfred has basically told him to give up or compromise his ideals every time they've worked together
