The Trouble With Splanking

I have one major issue with this otherwise harmless "fun": It perpetually screws up my game. I don't mean in a "boo hoo I'm so upset" kind of way, but in a "my browser can't handle it and I need to refresh every time someone splanks me" kind of way. Again, this could be minor, but it takes between 5 and 20 minutes on average for me to get into Glitch. 

So here is my peace offering: Could you beautiful devs consider a way to turn the extra animations off? I'd be really bummed to lose the kiss and hug animations as I think they're adorable and they frequently make me really happy. I'm not opposed to the splanking idea as Glitches need shenanigans, but when it means lots of down time, it makes me sad.

And yes, I realize some of the problem is that my computer is a few years old and therefore can handle less, but I do all the good computer owner things like empty cookies (yum cookies!) and turn it off at night and all that.

  • Odd that you are having that much difficulty. What's your exact setup?

  • After someone splanked me, I couldn't move items around in my bags until I refreshed.

  • Lots of flash games aren't older computer friendly.  Yes, it would be nice to be able to option out of some of the graphics (I'm ok with my machine, but I know others who also have problems).

    Additionally, I just think it's rude to splank someone without following it up with a hug or a kiss.

  • I'll try to remember to moon instead of splank those who garlic kiss me ;)... I haven't tried soaking yet - how does that work?

  • Last time someone splanked me, I couldn't interact with anything in my inventory.

    Using latest build of Chrome on a Windows Vista machine that's just under 2 years old. Most recent version of Flash, Shockwave, Chrome, underwear and peanut butter. Nvidia 8800 GTX video card, drivers are about a month and a half old.

    Keep in mind, *I* can splank people just fine. And I can be hugged, mooned, kissed as well as do all of those things. I just can't *get* splanked.

  • I have the same problems with Jujus. (Mac, 2+ yrs old, Chrome) The other day, he kept coming out to get me & my computer would grind to a halt for a few seconds. IMNSHO Flash is the debil.

  • I use a Mac from 2008, its OSx 10.5.8. Browser is Safari.

    I'm the same way as your last paragraph Death Cuddle (awesome name BTW).
