I'm currently level 85 and have grown sick of the major order missions. I've done my part and will leave the rest to ya'll. Gonna return to the normal planets.

I have seen a few threads over the past week asking if this place is dying from lack of users and posts.
I have compiled some figures on Chatty usage for you folks to consider.
According to our analytics, for the period of Jan 1-April 30, 2024 Chatty pageviews have declined by 13.45% from Jan 1-April 30, 2023.
In that same time period, the number of active users (defined as people who view the Chatty) has increased by 31% from 2023.
We do not keep track of the number of active posters, but if anyone wants to check the "health" of this place, we do publicly disclose how many active threads and comments there are at the top of the website for Chatty. It also shows up where the Chatty button (which says Forum) is located for people who are not logged into the site.
From my perspective, it is true that there are less threads now than there were a year or two ago. Most days we don't even get to a third Chatty page anymore. Weekends are usually just contained to one page.
Shacknews Chatty's traffic peaked in the mid-2000s (around 2006) and has largely been on a downtrend ever since. We have seen some signs of bottoming over the past three years, but no sustainable growth has ever materialized.
I don't have any comments or suggestions on how to reverse this, but I wanted to provide some data.
As for what this means for the future of this place? Nothing. Like the rest of the Shacknews company, it will keep going as long as I keep going.

I blew it off and then thought about a spider bite I got last year on my waist, probably sleeping in our bed. There were 3-4 little bumps, then it ballooned into a huge welt, eventually filling up with puss. After I drained it, it took like three months for the bump to flatten out and my skin is permanently discolored at the site. Now I’m wondering what kind of spider leaves a bite like that and is this the asshole? Do we share DNA? Was it eyeing up it’s victim getting ready for another bite? Audacious fucker

Found a really good one coming out that looks amazing called Once Human. It reminds me of a Blake Crouch + The Division + Conan + Fallout76 hybrid and looks batshit insane. Think of it kinda like The Division: Anhilliation.

A lot of survival games I'm looking forward to are adding the terms "MMO" into them which I think hurts more than helps. Once Human has shared world instances that you can choose to interact with but can also just be played like it's a solo game. Dune: Awakening has the same thing going on which we haven't heard much about yet, but appears to be just a buff / debuff system via community goals.

Why did Paul want the Emperor's daughter for marriage? Especially if the other houses wouldn't accept his ascension? At that point, why would it matter if he tried to bring the Emperor's family and his family together for a power grab of no one was going to recognize it? If he is going to battle all the other houses, why not just kill the emperor, who had his dad killed?
Paul's mom's unborn baby was full on communicating like an adult via telepathy to the mom. I guess it's a sci fi movie, but that's hard for me to accept. I don't really have a question about this situation, just an observation.
Was there a back story to Paul's mom? She had no idea who her parents were? And did Harkonen's leader not know he had a daughter? Did he not know Paul was his grandson until the moment before Paul killed him?
Was Zendya upset when he drank the worm blood because Paul was sliding into the prophecy role after he said he was no prophet and she didn't believe in the prophecy?

Has anyone had the pleasure of getting two Xboxes sitting on the same network to be able to connect to multiplayer games/Xbox live without issue? In the network settings on both Xboxes, they report everything as OK. Both have open NAT, no other problems/concerns reported, UPnP/device discovery is enabled on my router, etc.
My specific issue is that my kids are trying to play Astroneer together, but neither can join one another's game in co-op. They both just show up as "not joinable" in-game. The "join game" functionality via the Xbox guide/dashboard is also grayed out. System Era just says , "yeah its a Xbox networking problem"
