Oh yeah I'm not watching any of it. The thought of watching any of those "debates" feels like torture.

I'd be really amused if on July 3rd he held a conference and said "fuck it, vote for anyone else. I'm past caring"

I think he thinks people are having to choose between things right now, rather than having no choice but to give up things including essentials such as clothing, dentistry and hygiene. He's so fucking out of touch.

Had enough of those lately thank you

Yeah I don't think there is a direct correlation between guests and speed. There may be an indirect one (i.e. if the server itself is being hit hard then more guests won't help) but I don't think its a case of more guest = slower.

And it's perfectly fine for me now (but not looked the last few hours)

Certainly a rollercoaster reading that. "Oh it's going to be a game about pandas. Oh wait, it's a dating sim urgh. Actually that sounds interesting"

Looks like they're going for the furry market based on those character designs

In the future presumably deepfakes are more prevalent so why would a security door rely on just voice? But anyway, guess we'll see what it's like. The royal "we" anyway as I've never owned an Xbox

Let's say we're paying homage to a late-in-life Nintendo console; occasionally some highlights but largely random and inconsistent.

The visitor number was a theory more than anything else. But it's been difficult to figure out what the problem is as it's been inconsistent.

Unexpected

This is now on Netflix for those that don't know. And I know we have a Netflix thread but figured it's already been discussed here so beh.

Only tangentially related but when I was in Japan last year I was using it to scan menus and was quite shocked at seeing "bukakke" before remembering it's actually a word there. But as to your actual point, it does look like a charming laid back kind of game although I'd never be able to play a game based around fishing personally. Would be nice to have more of these.

That feeling when you walk into the corner of a table

It's Mr Reswob and he comes from some place far away.

Never heard of it.

4th July Register to vote (and take ID) otherwise you might be conscripted.

You missed an obvious trick here.

Trying to outsource this a bit by asking others to keep an eye on things. Was looking at my laptop earlier and it was fine and I very much doubt it's about device type but flagging it up in case someone else wants to verify. I'll do it myself tomorrow, but just in case anyone else is noticing a difference. Also just noticed we currently have 212 visitors online apparently and truthfully I never look at what that is typically like but wondering if that could be being detrimental (or at least not helping) so if anyone is experiencing it going slow mind have a look at the number (bottom of the forum listing) and letting me know?

Seems to be reasonable at times but it is certainly more slow than not most of the time. The suggestions Shorty sent needs to be done by him as it's backend stuff it turns out and he's busy with work. I'm trying to just do some general maintenance/spring cleaning in the hopes that'll provide an incremental improvement but I've been away for a few days and there's only so much I can do on my phone. Will try again on Saturday.

Shorty is swamped with work but has sent some suggestions which I've pencilled in to try in the morning. Thanks for waiting (too soon?)
