• 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.

    FTFY. Metal Gear was already "Metal Gear for gooners," it's just that it largely catered to the gooners who are into men.

    Question regarding the new UK law

    I mean technically yes, but it's also directly relevant to the user experience of the website, so asking the staff about this is probably warranted.

    This place was offline for a few hours?

    Going to second this suggestion. A Twitter or Bluesky account just for site updates would be excellent, and probably would require a minimal amount of extra work on the staff's part. I had to go to the SV discord to confirm that it wasn't just an issue with my own internet or computer, so some...

    Game Give-aways

    So apparently Double-Fine did something incredibly based. In honor of Ozzy Osborne's death, they have decided to give away Brutal Legend for free for 666 minutes (ie, until tomorrow at around 6:06 EST) on ich.io. If you ever wanted to play a game that is basically a gigantic tribute to metal in...

    A pure QoL improvement with zero downsides whatsoever? I sure as hell can't think of any reason to complain about it.

    Jesus Christ, it's a fusion of Dishonored, Fallout, and Singularity of all games. SIGN ME UP.

    You're not wrong about 450 for a console not being THAT far out there, all said. Though that's mainly because I remember the Sony charging 600 bucks for the PS3 when it came out. And note that if you take inflation into account and apply that to today's money, the PS3 would have been about 930...

    Everyone from QQ wake up as their Avatar, what's the first thing we do in real life?

    I'm not sure you'd have a choice. The Illusive Man had been Indoctrinated for at least a solid 20-ish years prior to the games, since his eyes were Reaper tech too.

    XF2 transition feedback

    XF2 isn't a new website. It's just a website framework that QQ already migrated to several months ago. Not to put too fine a point on it, but you are currently posting on the XF2 version of QQ right now as we speak.

    Links In Mobile Version of QQ Get Sent To Very Bottom of Page

    So, this is something I've posted about twice in the Xenforo 2 Feedback Thread, here, and here, without any response of any kind after about nine and a half months, despite the fact that I'm apparently not the only person having this issue, so I'm making a dedicated thread about it in the...

    According to the accompanying blog post, the armor passive that the new armors get is a goddamn suicide vest that explodes as soon as you get knocked out to zero health. I love it. Democracy Akbar, motherfuckers. XD

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Right, which is why the rule allows that, as long as you 1) ask the original author for permission first, and 2) link to the original story, so people can find the original if they enjoy the translation. Neither of these things strike me as being unreasonable requirements in any form.

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    I mean, I can't really say I object to anything here in the rule change. Especially since contrary to what most of the doomers are saying, translated fics are allowed under this change, you just need to actually ask the original author for permission. Given that anyone doing a translation must...

    XF2 transition feedback

    I'm not sure if it counts as a bug, but I still ran into something that made me tilt my head in confusion, regarding the ignore feature. I was going through a thread, when at the bottom of the page, I noticed the "Show Ignored Content" button appeared at the bottom of the page. This made me do a...
