Of course you wouldn't want to look ugly
This week's poll was suggested by Ceiye. It's kinda relevant to me because I started playing Lost Ark, which has decent (oversexualized) character customizations. I've seen some Youtube videos from The Spiffing Brit where he does absurd character creation stuff.

If we were to do a true survey, it would include origin and destination countries. Maybe some people just travel more? Or in the case of Singapore, it's just a simple drive out of the city to get into another country.
Earlier today, we put out a new version of the site that changed most of the back-end code. If you experience any weirdness, please post in this thread:
This week's poll was suggested by Lisj. Have you ever left your home country (maybe moving, for school, or just vacation)? My most recent trip was to Singapore in 2019 for my cousin's wedding.

I still play Fire Emblem Heroes

My favorite piece of classical music is Tchaikovsky's violin concerto
This week's poll is about your favorite musical genre (prompted by a similar suggestion by jacob66). We haven't done this poll for over a decade, so maybe tastes have changed. The list of genres was taken from this Wikipedia article, so don't get made at me that your favorite didn't make it onto the list. If your favorite is considered a subgenre within a listed choice, just pick that choice (such as indie is under rock).
