This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That and the US being such a large market while having some of the worst internet in the developed world. Last I read only ¼ of the network is fiber

I live in France, has fantastic fibre, would still hate to play civilisation "in the cloud".

There is just no incentive to do so IMO. Even a cheap mobile phone can render well enough, and I just hate any kind of even "possible" lag.

tbf: The US is huge as fuck. Most countries in the developed world could fit in Texas.

I play games over 4G happily. Not likely to work very well with game streaming. Especially if everyone else is. I did it during covid and it was ok but input lag was noticeable. SSH dwarf fortress and got into cdda was a better experience.
