Could the time be posted in the forum thingie way where it’s displayed in everyone’s local timezone? I can’t tell how late that is and it’s late for time conversions.

Could you remind me how to do that? x)
Edit: figured it out! Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks for the edit
Just be careful here

Anyway nice pics and good to know!

On a side note, twitch and wikipedia are not accessible in China unless using a VPN. (Otherwise a demo on OGS is) But maybe Chinese players are not the public aimed.
