Gekinzuku News

Aww yeah

There was a fan and the fan decided it wanted to make loud noises and become unbearable and thus gekinzuku was moved again.

If you're having problems connecting to Discord on Desktop today, try your phone and/or phone data. If that doesn't work, connecting over VPN seems to solve the issue for now:

You also may be able to use the website version for today.

EDIT: Changing your DNS may also resolve the issue.

You are not actually blocked; it seems to be affecting a lot of people at the moment.

"empty/corrupt snapshot file" is a solvable issue. Look into pict-rs's storage in the sled directories. there should be some files that have .snap at the end. if any of these are zero-sized, delete them. if none of them are zero-sized, delete the most recently created one. then restart pict-rs

It's been done, memes from this time forth shall take less space.

(attached image: our "About Us" page from the website in 2010 explaining the origin of the name, written by Kori I believe)

Kori, our resident weeb at the time, was always sending random stuff in Japanese in chat despite none of us understanding anything she was saying. When it finally came time and we wanted to come up with a name for the growing group and site, I said "let's do that Japanese word for 'games' that Kori keeps posting... Gekinzuku!"

Everybody thought that was a cool enough word/reason, so that's how the name was born. It's nothing close to ゲームス, but it somehow has a relatively one-to-one translation to the Japanese alphabet, ゲキンズークー. The use of ー characters is to bring the right spoken emphasis across to Japanese for "zu" and "ku", but disclaimer I'm still not a Japanese expert ;)

The group isn't nearly as big as it was in during the 2008-2011 timeframe, but we still have 5-10 active members that we stay in touch with, all united under our common misunderstanding of words posted in a language we didn't even speak.

Sorry for any lost memes
