One thought on “2023 SL viewer release summaries week #26”

  1. Thank you, as always, for so much thorough updating and information.

    At present, my personal viewer choices are Firestorm + Genesis. I like FS for all the convenient bells and whistles. But Genesis continues to feel cleaner/faster. Specifically, when I’m cruising my bumper boat along the mainland rivers, FS typically hiccups at region crossings and Genesis goes by without a hitch. Even more dramatic are Diagonal Region Crossings where you’re essentially crossing from Region A to Region B and then 1 second later crossing into Region C. On those, FS often just freezes my bumper boat and I have no choice but to bail out, swim home, and get a new boat. With Genesis, it’s still a smooth, easy crossing.
