Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how's it going?

I've been online gaming recently and I keep running into this feeling that Oceanic internet is so dead. When I go to european based communities they have heaps of groups of people wanting to play all different types of games. Same for America but here we have small groups of people who play the 5 most popular games and nothing else. Maybe I just do what ever 30 year old Kiwi man does and get a shed full of tools and half finish a bunch of diy projects.

I suspect it's because Europe and the US have far more people! And of course if there aren't many people, then others don't join because there's never anyone online, and it's a compounding problem.

Maybe play games that don't rely on ping so much, so you can play with the Europeans and Americans?

A shed full of tools works too!

I do play games with Europeans but they are mega autistic and sound weird. Americans are more normal to play with but don't compare to aussie nz banter.

Is it partly a timezone thing?
