OMFG. That is priceless.
Confront those who dare obstruct the transmission of your information with swift rejection, for they sit silently obsessing over your submission.

And now you know why the Chinese PoE client is entirely separate from our realm. GGG had to alter some of the graphics to satisfy Chinese govt requirements.
😹😹😹😹😹
I do not and will not use TFT. Gaming Granny :D 🐢🐢🐢🪲🪲🪲 |

" Given China's particular cultural preferences, I often wonder what was changed. As I understand things, ghosts and other supernatural elements are, depending on context, a sizable no-no there. Would pretty much gut the mob selection if PoE had to hew to those standards. =0[.]o= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/ whiskers =@[.]@= boggled / =>[.]<= annoyed or angry / ='[.]'= concerned / =0[.]o= confuzzled / =-[.]-= sad or sleepy / =*[.]*= dazzled / =^[.]~= wink / =~[.]^= naughty wink / =9[.]9= rolleyes #FourYearLie Last edited by Raycheetah#7060 on Jan 29, 2022, 8:17:51 AM

You shall not think those thoughts. Only thoughts approved by the government censors are allowed! Sounds similar to book burning and book banning doesn't it?
Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

What was most interesting was Chuck's reaction: the Chinese ending is actually closer to the book's, so technically America by way of Fincher censored Fight Club first. Not to mention some editors change the print ending of FC to match the movie...and Chuck's deeply anticapitalist writing has long faced censure in the more conservative parts of the US.
So it's understandable he isn't exactly heartbroken over a communist/totalitarian take on his already compromised work. He still gets his royalty cheque -- and I shall leave you with that final irony. https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/26/chuck-palahniuk-not-mad-china-censoring-fight-club-film-ending/ https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

" Tru confessions: I've never read the book. I had a bunch of aspiring Chucks and Easton Ellises for uni classmates so I kind of didn't have to. Maybe after I'm done with Eichmann In Jerusalem...wait no still only 4 books into Wheel of Time. Fuuuuuck. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable. Last edited by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Jan 30, 2022, 9:34:29 AM
