So you play the game wrong, it slows you down, and you suffer an ingame penalty. For playing it wrong. For not pressing the correct key at the correct time. For, infact, pressing the wrong key, when you only have a choice of two.

Where’s the facepalm emote?

So it penalizes me with 15 pop-ups saying the same thing because I left my finger on 1 rather than 2 or 3 a half second too long.

If you’re using Firefox, switch browser to either Chrome or Opera for pwning forums. Both are considerably faster. The next version of Firefox may offer some speed improvements, though that’s yet to be seen.

It’d be nice if I didn’t have to switch browsers just to waste 20 minutes a day.

Secondly, resize the browser window for the forum. The smaller the window, the faster it updates. Unless you’re using Vista Aero (I suspect not) the speed of screen updates is constrained by your CPU – something you say is a bottleneck.

I use Aero. It’s pretty :3 I’ll try the smaller window, though.

Further down the list, you could also switch off all graphics in your browser settings, or start adblocking clbum attack images you’ve already seen a gazillion times. I haven’t needed to do this and I’m not sure of there’s a decent Adblock option for Chrome yet, the browser I’m using.

I’ll do the adblock thing, because that makes sense. Again, I don’t feel like switching to a different browser just to waste 20 minutes a day, and I don’t feel like making the game look like complete ****.

If you still have a problem, you either have a horrible internet connection, or you’re trying to download something while you’re playing the game, or your computer really is extremely slow.

It’s the last one. This is the laptop I’m using. For some reason, it just hates the Internet in general.
