- Not being able to make something work
- Sam will make a PR for entity zone occlusions - first implementation to fix the implementation. — better than what we have now.

- Right now possible setup a regular url marcus.com/athena setup a server or two to have a setup of some kind, use the numeric IP, List all of those listed in the goto, to those domains.
- A thought, projectathena.io / .dev
- Forwards projectathena.io/palace implement it so that if you just have that, it will look for that
- Bandwidth: is issue, quality is not as good. uses a bunch of cpu, load tests. — possible issues with music
