    I found the article in The Atlantic

    Fair enough, I couldn’t find that article.

    here’s enough of a lag to disallow for common action games

    Lag is different from a lack of speed, which that person claimed. Lag = latency, nothing to do with speed.

    You’re remarkably antagonistic for a Lemming. Are you sure you’re not a Musk-shill or a bot?

    I really really really hate this redditor style tendency to call everyone who corrects facts they want to believe in a shill or a bot. I couldn’t have made it more clear that I’m not a Musk fan:

    I hate this as much as you do, but come on, don’t make shit up.

    It’s just that I’m overly concerned with facts, likely due to my neurodivergence. These kinds of comments feels kind of ableist, although that again is probably something I might get shit on for, as you’re not supposed to call out ableism on this platform.

    I don’t understand this bot thing either. I haven’t seen a single one of these bots you’re talking about. Repost bots, sure, but agenda pushing bots? The entities that push that stuff clearly aren’t interested in this platform yet. On Reddit it’s very obvious.

      “Fast” doesn’t just refer to the download speed, it also refers to the latency.

      By any competent gamer’s standards, WiFi is slow. Starlink is untenable.

      One “special” mind to another, a head for facts doesn’t preclude you from being wrong and/or needlessly pedantic.
