SE's most difinitive statement yet on parsers

[Amberyl]

Fact check

I love posts that start like this, as they almost always contain utter rubbish.

The majority of western players only connect via VPN due to a routing error on Yahoo.jp's part after a subnet mask configuration change, which was two months ago.

Absolutely not true, lol. I don't know what ship or block you hang on, but the vast majority of western players VPN due to distance-related latency messing with the way their friends appear on screen, (regardless of whether they're all local to each other or not,) and that hasn't changed since the game launched to begin with. That's a networking artefact, caused by the mechanics of the client-server code, not some transitory routing issue.
