"Embarassing"? As opposed to having a page full of screenshots of video games? ... (Edit: to that end, you can always scroll down a smidge.)

Actually, I suppose my concern is really with the new site layout as a whole. The redesign made it a lot more gaudy, and that makes me hesitant to show it to other people. Luigi isn't really at fault for the effect, but he does magnify it somewhat.
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

While I don't like the redesign either (one of many reasons being that I hate serif fonts with a passion), the only major change the site actually went though was the top menu, and even then it's still a lot less OMGOMGOMG CLICK HERE HOLY SHIT COLORS than some sites on the internet.

I can't figure out the change in CPU usage with the different sections of the animation, but I did check my browser's user agent. It is Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox 2.0.0.20. It is definately not an X11 version, so that is why I am getting the animation.

Okay, as much as I like that little pest, this is a few measures of unacceptable: Leaving the window open is becoming detrimental to doing anything else on my computer, as it slows things down to a crawl. Between this and all the stupid Javascript nags, it's tempting to just disable Javascript on this site as a whole.

If it has so much CPU usage, why do you leave the frontpage open? I'm always leaving the forumpage open when doing something else.

I don't know, maybe because I just downloaded a movie from the site?

He was gone for Linux / X clients, and he now came back :( Very annoying, with no way to turn off besides blocking scripts or writing specific rules for the website, and fairly CPU heavy on this platform... I browse the web to browse, there is a reason I don't like animated ad banners - they're ANNOYING! This is no exception... Edit: Gone now? Yay? :) Edit 2: He comes around on other pages but the main page. Not that big of a deal but still would be nice if there was a way to disable the thing provided by the site. It's just a Bad Thing(tm) to have unnecessary animated crap on websites.
true on twitch - lsnes windows builds 20230425 - the date this site is buried
