Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

They're like Japanese Disney. They're nothing without their IP and they know it.

They also know that the only reason they have DK as a character is because Universal dropped the ball in protecting their IP. If they let Garry's Mod casually have a "Mario" character in it, it dilutes their ability to legally go after some other studio who straight up makes an unofficial Mario game.
