I've been trying to keep track of these. There's a lot:

HOLY SHIT!

And people were saying WA is dying! Lmao those people! This is proof that WA is far from dead.

Keep on rocking wormers everywhere! LONG LIVE WA!

According to steamchart and my interpretation of it, the activity level seems the same.

However, according to these charts, June-August before 2020 have been low, but not this year. This can be because of the Covid-19 situation. I would wait and see if 3.8 actually did bring activity or not. However, the overall activity of WA have fluctuated over its course on Steam.

Great trailer! Gave me some chills! <3

Long live WA!

I am talking about rope speed and game speed.

I just played With DawgScrap with 1.8 speed and it is good. I liked it just fine.

I told scrappy that everyone on worms now seem to have their own gimmick now, even myself. I guess time will tell what will appeal to most.
  I changed settings on rope just to experiment, some likes it, some don't. It really does divide everyone.  Personally, I try to be open to new things. The annoying thing is to master something new again, that can throw people off.

At least there's more freedom of choice here. No one is forcing people to play this or that.

Will there be an option in the future to upload 3.8 schemes to tus?

I just tried and it did not work.

Mr lolicon-guy, I understand the reluctance to master a new rope, however please hear me out.

You as many others have already mastered the art of roping, so why not go further? By challenging your existing skills to a new arena that's a bit different? Sure the rope may be different but yet you understand it, you just need to treat it differently and get used to it.

It doesn't take long to master it, I didn't, why can't you or anyone else?

Speedy rope is very fun. Sure, it ''may'' be easy to master for noobs, but who cares? It's still hell of a lot of fun

I have taken the liberty to experiment with 2 important settings for the ninja rope, which I think is crucial for its role in wide arrange of schemes. One of these settings are ''Rope Speed'' and second ''Projectile Speed''.  I have added extra value to both of these options, it makes the rope more ''speedy'' and ''frantic''. People have tested it and some of them do like it. However they are concerned that ''old schoolers'' won't approve because it would be too easy to rope. Do you agree with this? No one really liked TS, and r+ for rubberworm. But yet I have played with intense rope settings with no problem. I even had a game with a few experienced ropers who decided to quit after a few brief turns because they failed on every level imaginable.

What do you think? Could speedy rope be something or not?

There is something weird I should point out. When e.g I play standard roper, and when game is over I just go back to host and choose roper again with edited rope settings. When that game is over, I go back to host (without going through AG), and load normal roper, but previous rope speed and other settings are still intact.

Is this normal? Or maybe I am just imagining things.

Someone said that the update would include time-stamps in direct chat XD!

Thank you Deadcode & team. I appreciate it a lot.

I HAVE IT ON STEAM NOW!!!! EVERYONE WITH OLDER VERSIONS ARE MARKED WITH RED!!!!

COME ON GET IT FOR STEAM!

Btw, can you get 3.8 without steam?

I have reached out to my group members through TUS PM. Now I must wait.

Hey guys, check this out

Listen fellas, there is no need for you to lecture and belittle me, I am fully aware of what I am conveying to everyone. Most of the post I see before me are unjustifiable and mostly focused on character. I'm not even a ''smartass'' but a person with a different viewpoint than yours, and that might frighten you. Ergo the only response that seems reasonable is to attack and deride me as a person.

Do you think I want to be right? Do you think I enjoy the dire situation that humanity is in? Do you think I am so deranged that I don't see what Covid-19 is doing? The ridiculous amount of deaths it leaves behind? Do you think I see the world by number over actual deaths?
Then you have thoroughly underestimated me. I am not in lack of compassion and love, I am not cold and evil.  I think a little different and you don't like that. I can't placate by agreeing with you. At the end of the day, I have to hope that we all want the best for everyone.

I do understand that poor countries are most exposed Covid-19 and that sucks. But to have me live in a poor country to convince me that I am wrong won't change my mind. Here is why; All my life, or pretty much most people's lives in Western countries, we known about the starving kids in Africa but no one has ever spent a comparable budget that Covid-19 have demanded so far. Why? Because hierarchy. Poor people, starving people, people exposed to war, torture, smuggling, all this tragic reality is at the bottom of the ladder. We just don't see it, interact with it, we just simply live our lives that we were fortunate to get compared to the less fortunate ones. 
We only see a problem when it hits the middle and top, because only then will we do something about it. Not if there is a dirty stain in the basement floor. Indeed humanity is crazy selfish, and stupid.

Look at UK, it is a great f@#!ing PC state, and with the help of Covid-19, people are indoctrinated more easier. To accept radical changes to their lives. Again, there are likely to be more waves of viruses on our way. There's already reports of a lung virus in China, and humanity will just accept and accept. New generation of kids will grow up to this fascist oligarchy super power state. Not knowing what liberty is, just a system of rules and regulation. Everything becoming so PC, that every tiny thing is offensive.
