Happy holidays to all. We somehow survived this far!
Internet/Stream Update
Unfortunately after 6-8 months, the same issue with Spectrum still persists. The stability has improved somewhat, but most of the time it’s still trash. It has only improved barely enough that I can stream most of the time with minimal frame drops, but sometimes it gets so bad that even that is impossible. I never even reach my top speeds anymore.
During the next year I hope to finally be able to move out of my current place (and I will definitely seek out some other trash ISP that isn’t spectrum to permanently fix this).
As for the stream itself, I’m hoping to start delving into Lost Judgment and Tales of Arise in the coming months. Should be a pretty good time.
Annual Bugfrag Contest Award
This year I will be offering a $50 gift card award to the top Bugfrag holder in our Discord as usual; however due to low participation this will be the last year this will be happening. The pandemic combined with the ISP issues have unfortunately taken a significant hit on my internet and Twitch presence, which has made continuing this contest no longer worth it.
As always, there are always Zenny rewards available in the shop year round, so you can check those anytime.
Site Updates
The main updates have been to the forums. Unfortunately we have been getting hit by a bad wave of spam attacks on the forums which have clarified that the security in place was not sufficient enough.
- The forums were temporarily admin approved for a time (I would need to manually approve your account), but I have switched it back to automatic registration. The new security protocols in place should hopefully be a sufficient deterrent to the spam attacks we were receiving. If you previously submitted a registration request for the forum, please create a new account again as all those previous registrations were wiped.
- The forums now have https (SSL) enforced, so you should always have a secured connection while on the site.
I’m also starting up song extensions again, so please submit them on the forums if there’s something you’d like.
Aside from this, there isn’t really much else for me to report. I’m hoping the next year will be great in terms of my own personal and career progress, and I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday and year!
