BUILD FUCKING TRAIN LINES AND HOUSES PLEASE!

Sometimes I think we'd be better off if we got some kind of benevolent dictator who's absolutely mad for infrastructure, and then overthrow them in like 5 years.

Trust me, you don’t want that.

Just let a dictator take over and then casually overthrow them in 5 years. Like it’s a stroll down to the corner store for some milk.

I just know that if the US did have an advanced rail system everywhere there would be a huuuuge pervert problem. Worse than Japan's probably. And they'd be full of dirty needles and homeless excrement.

we need to build homes to house the excrement

B-Dubs "it's not hard to avoid what's banned, it's just porn!"

It's literally just porn games, that's it. We can't reliably list all the porn games. Just don't post about porno games and you're fine. This idea that we're constantly banning games and have some huge banlist is nonsense. It's just porn games, that's all.

Yeah, porn games is obvious... I was more thinking about the subjects of the moment - Harry Potter, Cyberpunk, AI etc... where there's specific rules in place.

The whole point of the AI OT was to stop the constant "Twitter user says: AI sucks/AI is amazing" threads and the absolutely insane shit-flinging fests they became from clogging up Etc side. That was literally it, there was no other reason. It was literally making Etc unreadable. If it's actually newsworthy in some way then make a thread, it's fine. We never banned positive AI threads and we never banned negative ones either, they just got an OT because nothing else was showing up on the Etc feed while we allowed it.

Potter we literally sent out a huge notice to the entire site, same with CP. If there's a sequel to CP then we'll evaluate that on it's own merits.

What I'm saying is, it's really not hard to avoid getting a thread locked.

I think what you're asking for DinkyDev is a list of banned topics, or topics with specific rules around them.

I don't think there is one that's up to date, and comprehensive.  Maybe someone can advise if I'm wrong.

I believe the last dedicated thread for this was the policy update log and that

a) Doesn't clarify some of the stuff you might get in trouble for (no mention of Cyberpunk, sports betting, banned sources, etc)

b) Has been locked and not updated since May 2023

Someone will definitely update me if I am wrong and badly out of touch though!

B-Dubs ignores the "or special rules around them", again, to insist things that are quarantined aren't banned.

Also stop asking for a ban list it puts them in danger. Just intuit it!

Sports betting isn't banned, you can literally discuss it in the relevant threads! Cyberpunk isn't banned either, it's literally got an OT!

Also, once again, we're not putting out a list of banned sources because that's how harassment campaigns against staff get started.

Highly amused that this is still going and they still haven't really explained why sports betting can't have its own thread and it just needs to infect every other sports topic instead.

its probably related to advertising.  they cant host topics specifically for certain kinds of things.  gambling is one of the usual no-nos.

In-depth review (9/10) in Spanish from a colleague, with a lots of screenshots: https://www.pcmrace.com/2024/09/09/marvel-vs-capcom-collection-pc-review/

Who the fuck names their website PC Master Race if they want to be taken seriously?!

Again with this nonsense. I've had the website for 11 years now. I already changed the slogan as requested by some people here, but I won't change the name of the website. I understand that some people may find it offensive, but it was just a meme back then. Get over it. My content is good and my reviews with lots of 4K screenshots and 4K videos speak for themselves. It's the most visited website in Argentina and probably South America. It's fine if you don't like the name, but don't treat the content like it's second hand. Would you change the name of your website after 11 years if some people suddenly found it offensive? I don't think so.

It's not so sudden.

Get over it.

I don't care how sudden it is or was, I won't change the name of the website just because of the crystal generation. And FYI, I share my content in a lot of forums, but this is the only one in which I hear this type of complaints all time.

Yikes, "generación de cristal" is a huge red flag. You're not doing yourself any favors if you're using that term.

people always found "pc master race" offensive, actually. maybe you didn't care in 2013, but lots of people had problems with that "joke" back then.

I'm drawing a complete blank on why PC master race is offensive.

Master race? Nazi terminology??

Because it's Nazi shit.

Nazi terminology, also the whole "master" and "slave" (ala a HDD)verbiage is really not socially acceptable anymore.

If you are actually South American and you use "generación de cristal" unironically, yeah that's a huge red flag to me, only people complaining about "la generación de cristal" are those claiming that people get offended by anything nowadays, and we all know what they actually mean by that.

Yikes, "generación de cristal" is a huge red flag. You're not doing yourself any favors if you're using that term.

It's just really funny to me to see somebody say my pc master race site is really popular in Argentina.

Like...I'm sure bruh didn't mean it that way, but please just be cognizant of history. lol

I am aware of history, but only 30% of my visitors are from Argentina (that doesn't make me or my visitors Nazis). The rest of the viewership comes from Spain, Mexico and pretty much every country in Latin America. People don't mind because they know it started as a meme. The ones that got offended in 11 years are basically just the people in this forum, and the feeling of constantly being treated like scum (or belittling my content) due to the name of the website, doesn't make you any of you any better.

I knew they would do it. We all did. BUT LOL its so damn funny to see the actual number in your face for a video game console.

B dumbs is terrified of having a list of banned games for 2 reasons I feel: 

1. If they have a list of banned games and it includes too many big name titles then MOBA network may step in. 

2. They don’t want anyone having a list to point to when pointing out their hypocrisy. 

“Oh you banned Harry Potter Hogwarts legacy? What about kingdom come deliverance 2? Why is cyberpunk 2077 banned but not the DLC?” etc. Instead it’s buried in random posts that are harder to point to

I can't justify $700+ for a PS5 Pro. There aren't any exclusives that need it. And that price is absurd.

Honestly, he should just actually assure everyone that he is going to hand over the plot line to someone when he dies but he is going to work on it (at his own pace) because is still his goddamn work. 

Is genuinely bizarre how entitled both him and his fans are. I get the idea of ASoIaF being a safety blanket for nerds and geeks of the 90.

If Martin cannot write you cannot force him to write, but I feel he definitely needs to get into a compromise with his fans about the state of the IP outside of HBO.

The guy was coming to his audience with anger about a deeply flawed adaptation of a side-show world-building story that was arguably not even very good either.

After a quarter century since the last main book that actually delivered on storylines, people are going to get triggered.
