I would blow Dane Cook posted:But the New York Times said that Chinese payment systems are the best. For China-to-China transactions, sure. For the gaming news, I don't know which outcome to support: on one hand, Asian gamers can be toxic as gently caress as a result of netcafé transience, and 400 ping in real time games is loving rude. On the other hand, gaming is good and exposing China to things not-Chinese is the smallest foot in the door to change, but it's better than nothing. But gently caress the idea of handling Chinese gaming with Mickey Mao kid gloves.  As an aside, skeletons are not allowed in Chinagames, but how do actual mainlanders react to them, real or fictitious? Mistle fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Aug 8, 2017 |

Adults born in this century will refuse to enter a room someone died in or do anything in fours. Superstition is the still the norm in China and skeletons remind them of death

Most kids I know just go to the 7-11 and buy steam cards or MasterCard gift cards in HK. Are those not a thing in Chinese 7-11s?

I always loved the Chinese magic the gathering cards where they "censored" skeletons by making them into zombies. Like, how is that any better?

Its not, but as discussed these rules exist to target specific companies and make it harder for them to compete/exist in china. Theyre only sensible in that context.

Superstition is the still the norm in China and skeletons remind them of death Please point out to them there is a good chance someone has died in pretty much every room in china. Also how does china react to the US 25c coin? Is it both good (money) and bad (4)?

JaucheCharly posted:As we previously learned, it's not so much the size of the dish, but the quality of the detector that matters. And in our case, that box is probably filled with rats. The big dish thing is just old technology. You get much better results by having multiple smaller dishes working together spread over a large area. Every high school boy I've taught uses Steam, trying to block it here would cause a huge surge in VPN use.

Also there's a secret bioweapon engineered to wipe out all (Han) Chinese. Oh and in the final showdown our hero Faces down a bunch of 'Nam-era Vietcong, who cower before his shouting "What now, what now huh?" while backed up by 3 attack helicopters.

Blistex posted:You can probably find it with google, but basically there was this one head archaeologist who ran the whole show in Egypt, and any findings that happened in the country had to have his name on them and go through his official interpretation of what they meant. Failure to follow his rules meant that your university was blackballed from the country. Archaeological monopolizers are the lowest level of scum in the primordial soup. They are quite honestly some of the worst human beings in the world- extremely sexually exploitative towards students and staff, totally ruin the entire discipline for others because they think they own loving everything they're interested in and limit others' access to knowledge, they feel justified in rewriting history and are highly suspectible to confirmation bias, and they limit the amount of fieldwork trained archaeologists can do by exploiting cheap native and/or undergraduate labor (read: undergrads do it for free and will also pay you for the privilege!) See also: Jack Horner, David Begun. Then again, if I were an Egyptian archaeologist Well, I AM, but not in the way I mean it here, I'd be pretty drat set on my country's material culture not being stolen and co-opted by other nations anymore. Also, a creationism museum found my LinkedIn and suggested I apply for a position as a staff archaeologist  I'm broke, but I ain't that broke.

If my experiences with mainlanders on steam is indicative half of them get on just to try to annoy westerners anyway so honestly the CCP probably just figures this will work out for them by giving them more free Twitter trolls.

Its when all foreign films are banned to give chinese movies a chance by removing any competition. The only time a chinese movie does better than a Hollywood one is when they arent allowed to compete.

To say nothing of the "sold out theaters" propaganda that's happened before. Though in this instance, the government face and nationalist pride would "encourage" that practice more than just profits, especialy if cajoled by the Party.

Fojar38 posted:how does this compare to ip man in terms of nationalist trash Man of Taichi was a weird as hell pro China movie that ends in a Ki attack and a villian whose final words are equally weird. It even promotes poor behaviour as a virtue in China. The fights are pretty terrible as they are overly choreographed, go on for way too long and the protagonist almost never take any damage of any kind. Don't watch it even ironically as it is just a bad movie.
