• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • 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.

    There has never been a classical society in history that didn't emphasize physicality and learnedness as an ideal to strive towards. From Aztecs to Assyrians and Egyptians to Norse it's either the arts and philosophy or maybe astronomy and lore, but always some kind of intellectual pursit...

    Hollywood social propaganda. It's not even true in actual American high schools and is solely the domain of media presentation.

    Remember: r/dsrfunny shut down over an overflow (pun intended) of scatological jokes and DSR mass murder shitposts that were too much for even reddit's moderation. Unironically one of the more compelling narratives to come out of TNO and infinitely more immersive than the mediocre "corporate"...

    Yugoslavia collapsed more than 20 years ago, the Balkans became the source of the meme when the Ottomans first pulled back from Southern Europe in the early 1900s before WW1, Tito's rise to power was in the 40s-50s and the rest is just me repeating Treble's own words topped off with enough...

    Can't imagine why the partisan leader turned autocrat who prevented genocidal bloodletting for decades and turned a bombed out barely industrialized mountain range into one of the centers of the Unaligned Movement in a region whose name has become a byword for "fragmented, unstable, anarchic and...

    So I guess the servers buckled under the weight of all that AI-slop "art" spam?

    Clarification regarding AI policy

    Literally all you have to do is to look out for emdashes and reddit prose (for some godforsaken reason they are all trained on reddit style prose) and then a quick sweep of any positive results for Grammarly users (why anyone uses that garbage service is beyond me) and that's most of the work done.

    Clarification regarding AI policy

    This reply sums it up nicely. Make it a rule to disclose if you used AI assistance to write your shit and most of the complaints people have outside of AI art spam disappear, which is exactly why I expect the opposite to happen and the problem to become much worse as malicious actors realize...

    Heads-up: Windows archives the downloaded packs of updates for everything from drivers and firmware to OS updates. There's a folder in the appropriate location where all that junk accumulates like the hibernation files. Remove those two (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN FIND A...

    All the boys going on about Europa and their precious fucking ice wouldn't last one rotation on Io. I flew drops and CSS (Close Space Support) on that hellhole for 20 cycles and I still get nightmares of colliding with all the hypersonic lava plumes I had to fly through. When top of the line...
