I actually love it in sci-fi series when they have universal translators, but there are just some words that the translator leaves as is. Like Krannt for Krogans. It's a word that could mean squadmate, blood brother, ride or die, or "I refuse to die unless you are there to see me off."

And now a Kamen Rider joke: What do you call it when Isamu Fuwa goes to the beach for a tan?

If I said to you "Hey, I want to run a Rogue One style one-shot in the world of Avatar the Last Airbender where your characters are all likely to die protecting Airbenders from the Fire Nation," how would you respond?

Today back in 2011 one of the still-greatest Kamen Rider movies ever (in my Top 5, and Top 3 if we specify from the 21st century) came out. I wouldn’t see it in a theater until years later for a revival festival, but I watched it enough times on the small screen to almost remember it scene-by-scene.

Holiday gift idea for people you hate: A middle finger Advent calendar. Every third day is a 3-d pop out middle finger. Day 11 is Limburger cheese, and day 17 is surstromming.

Prediction for Game Awards:
Some musical artist I've never heard of before gets a permanent spot on my playlist because of their performance.
One of my friends will @ me if I do something else as a game specifically designed for me gets a trailer.
It happened last year.

Challenge: Play this track for someone who doesn't know Kamen Rider and ask them to describe the mental image the music gives them. See how close they get.

Me: Reintroduces an NPC from a prior campaign for the second time.
One of my players who has only ever heard of this NPC: Oh, it's that one? I've got to have my character meet him!
I love when my campaigns become lore amongst my friends.

So, time to come clean..
I've never watched a Tarantino film all the way through.
All I know about those movies I learned through cultural osmosis. I understand the stories, and I get the memes. But I really never felt a need to seek those movies out.

Hey here's an idea: If you're going to sell your media empire, do it to whichever company or organization offers you a cash on hand buyout with no debt.
If you sell your company for 14 billion in cash and 20 billion in debt, you just paid someone 6 billion to take your company away.

Just heard someone else at the game store say "I never got into Star Trek because I was told there's no weapons."
I didn't have to speak up because everyone at that table called him out about it.

One of the things I designed for my next book is a quickfire character creation method. Take this vague spiritual force and its associated places of power.
Try as I might, I couldn't make a force that could draw power from "Gardens, Electronic Stores, Antique Shops, but only if they're classy."
