Finally, good time for Asia and Europe!
It's actually kind of nice for those of us in other parts of the world :)
It may be strange to read, but not everything revolves around MURICAH
On the US East Coast here; 10PM is an ok start time for me on a weekday. Done with work, and kids' extracurriculars. The kids go to bed between 9-10. I usually stay up until 1 or 2 anyway. I'll catch 3-4 hours and maybe watch while sleeping on the Roku.
How is starting at ~5 AM for (eastern) Europe good?
