  • RIP @Silver Swallow
  • The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

    Ice Pie [SpyxFamily][Si]

    Business doesn't care about MENSA scores. The only thing that matters is success. If she is slowing down academically, as long as she is already filthy rich then most people will think she is more focused on real world matters. She is also more a creative thinker than an analytical one, and if...

    Ignore Thread doesn't work?

    So it turns out that I still had it on Ignore Thread before. Saw it on the front page, thought I had removed it before and safe enough to peek into it again. So why am I still able to see it, and get quoted text mentions from it? [edit] I figured it out. You can't Ignore staff...

    Threadmarks: 13.3 The Fools Bargain

    The Fools Bargain 03 Wagnall Plain Galtor II Several hours later But of course, they could not simply board a random DropShip to go to the Star League fake site right at that moment. Transport and malfunction problems dogged the AFFS regiments. The ELH conveniently just showed up with extra...

    The Fool's Bargain Declan II Federated Suns Date Unknown "Hance Davion, I have come to bargain!" Nathan Armstrong voice came from behind the door just moments before it slammed opened.

    How do I ask Staff about things?

    QQ, unlike SB or SV, does not seem to have a Staff Communications section. Where may I ask for clarifications or permission?

    MARVEL: Game Maker System (Avengers, X-Men, SI)

    Are you deliberately imitating the Chinese web novel style? The phrasing and word choices are very sus from a native English speaker perspective. Let's just take the recent posted chapter for a moment: I don't know if it just need a better beta reader/editor or what, but there are some very...

    Dungeon Delving is Damn HARD (Danmachi / Sharingan)

    For example, in the latest chapter: Anyone unfamiliar with the setting would never call it that. I suppose minimal cultural osmosis might count, though anyone with cursory knowledge via fanfics would not be surprised. Hestia is big breasted shortstack, Loki is Ichimaru Gin, flat foxface...

    Dungeon Delving is Damn HARD (Danmachi / Sharingan)

    I keep forgetting that he actually has prior knowledge of Danmachi, when all of this waffling about would have made perfect sense if this was a dude who just didn't know anything about the Danmachi setting and being paranoid as hell about Loki, who fucked a horse, or might still be Tom...

    OpenAI, DALL-E 2 and ChatGPT: Worse than I expected.

    Oh yeah, ChatGPT has been very helpful to me in that regard. I had it write up an example Inventory system for a Twine-based CYOA game, for example. It worked.

    OpenAI, DALL-E 2 and ChatGPT: Worse than I expected.

    Well, multitasking in general. If you have a big enough monitor just prod the thing every few seconds or so while you're reading the forums in another window. Reading fullscreen SB/SV/QQ even on 1080p kind of wastes space and expands the text too wide, forcing the eye to sweep left to right...
