Can't say free Taiwan
But free Palestine is perfectly fine.
I kinda wanna install it just to try to skirt the censorship and see how long before I get banned.
You can't even say butt. But they don't ban any of the easy workarounds.
It's a slop job
They may have a couple of English-speakers working for them, but there's no way they have one who's well-versed enough to ban all of our idiomatic slang terms for certain things.
Not even like idiomatic though I mean.
Like it doesn't even pick out putting spaces. So you can say but t but not butt.
That's the problem when you ban so much. You can't really be "smart" about banning workarounds because then you'd end up banning an unacceptable amount of benign everyday stuff that just happens to match the filters by accident.
It still amuses me that the pokemon Cofagrigus was banned from trading if un-nicknamed, because it's standard name tripped the censorship flags.
I believe that’s still broken in the new mobile card game they’ve released lol.
The WoW forums had the word "scraped" filtered as profanity forever, I'm still confused by it 15 years later.
"grapes", too, iirc
Seems like an LLM could ban anything with a negative enough tone.
An LLM could come pretty close to banning anything that means the same thing as the banned phrases, plus deliberate mispellings like "fre tie-won."
You just train it on PRC broadcasts.
Honestly, I'm too lazy to install it just to troll chat. I have actual games to play.
I have kids, so something stupid i can run in 8 minutes is nice.
It's the same as overwatch was to me, stupid fun, the point was just to screw around a bit.
I used to do darkest Dungeon but it kept giving my son nightmares lol
lol, gotta keep an eye on your son's stress bar when you play DD with him.
I shouldn't been so dismissive of the game, I meant to say I got games I actually want to play. I'm over overwatch style team based shooters, but marvel rivals actually looks pretty good and like the other guy said, it's visually appealing so that helps.
I stopped playing overwatch during the Hong Kong stuff in hearthstone, and haven't done anything with blizzard since, and I never played any of the clones so I'm not as burnt out as most probably are.
And after all of it, I think overwatch was the better game. But I also thought that duplicate heroes should be allowed so who's to say.
Oh wait... I was thinking that you mis-spoke and meant 1984, as in the novel.
In reality it meant the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protest
It's made by a chinese company so the censorship is baked in.
you win some you lose some. with china, you get actually appealing characters at the expense of your soul.
Well that's because it's China leading the psyops on the western nations...
China, Israel, Washington DC, Iran, the UN, and Russia. by their powers combined, they are captain psyop.
Winnie Xi Poo is angry.
What does the Chinese have against Taylor Swift anyways?
Lefties forgot about Tibet.
Marvel Rivals... a game made by NetEase a public corp with its HQ in...
Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
Yeaahhh... hard pass.
Anyone want to try doing a discord ban speedrun for marvel rivals?
