no, it's based on dragon ball z, that's way older

edit: first attempt at ck2 modding actually ended in total failure, did not expect that at all

(i was trying to make a new republic-based governmental type for morrowind since the elder kings devs won't do it for completely understandable reasons that nevertheless don't affect me in the slightest)
Wait, what? I'm pretty sure the various merchant guilds are represented as republics.  ???

So how come I can't find Vivec in Elder Kings anyway? Is he a character and I just can't find him for some reason? The Tribual/Almisivi is still strong at this period...

Yeah, I was basically trying to make Morrowind into a merchant republic. The devs of Elder Kings don't want to because they'd rather not require two DLCs to let the game be playable (Legacy of Rome is required regardless, I guess due to retinues)

So how come I can't find Vivec in Elder Kings anyway? Is he a character and I just can't find him for some reason? The Tribual/Almisivi is still strong at this period...

Balance reasons. Having Vivec means you have to, like, have Vivec, y'know? He'd be a ruler. I guess they have Tiber Septim, but that era is incomplete as hell anyway.

Doesn't stop him from siccing over a million troops on you if you're a non-ALMSIVI worshipper invading Vvardenfell, though. It's CHIM, man, he don't need no proper existence to fuck yo shit up.

Yeah, but, like. That's the single piece of chinese literature that has most infiltrated western society. If you've ever heard the names "Son Goku", "Sun Wukong" or any variant on that (I.E. drop the "S(u|o)n"), that's Journey to the West.

Off the top of my head, there's Dragon Ball (Son Goku), Smite/League of Legends([Sun] Wukong), Heroes of Newerth (Monkey King), Dota 2 (Sun Wukong was planned to be in some version or another, but never got in I guess because literally every other MOBA on the market that mattered got him first, I think he was changed into a rework of Phantom Lancer or something).

I have a weird MOBA fixation, huh.

EDIT: WTF HoN translated "筋斗雲" (Jīndǒuyún, "Somersault Cloud") as "Flying Nimbus". The hell? I'm like 99% sure that's a Dragon Ball dubism.

There's also a Sun Wukong in RWBY. He's a dude with a monkey tail that fights with a staff. Pretty obvious homage.

Anyone know a surefire way of fixing the Windows 10 bug which causes the startmenu to be broken asfuck???
Its hit my folk's laptop and I have run out of ideas on how to fix them as most of the things I have found is the same thing but it doesn't work cause a setting wasn't set or something as it won't even let me progress past step 1 due to it saying that the settings ain't set...

Was playing Town of Salem as the Jester. My plan was to act like the Sheriff and come up with random claims and have the real Sheriff get me lynched as my claims turn out false. Every single claim I made was correct by pure chance, and I even got saved from nightkills twice. In the end, I had all mafiosi and the SK lynched for a town victory. The real Sheriff didn't reveal himself until the very end.

I was a better sheriff than the real one, and lost because of it.

Not sure if this is the right trope, or if another would be more fitting.

But it was the first thing I thought of.

It really isn't the right trope. But I cannot remember what it is.

It is when the faker ends up becoming the lie :P

And in true TVTropes fashion... most of the examples are weak sauce because they wanted to pad out the trope.
