Actually (even though you sound sarcastic, for the most part), you can buy windscribe on the Google play store. I use the Google rewards apk that gives me bits of change for for use in the play store by taking pictures of receipts or answering surveys. I earn more than $30 a year doing that, and so that’s how I get my windscribe vpn. So, yeah. You can do it without any money.
Look, man. Keep trying to spin things as hard as you can, but my wifi doesn’t lose packets, and “higher than the stack” hiding dropped packets is pure baloney, since that would still show a substantial increase in ping time. Stop trying to make yourself feel vindicated for buying expensive internet.
I’ve stated to someone else, but there isn’t any packet loss. I can cmd line ipconfig a 20x ping to a server and not lose a single packet.
Also, losing a single frame is nothing. You aren’t getting shot when you wouldn’t have over 20ms.
Online shooters are always a no win situation anyhow, unless you happen to be one of the top 200 players of that game in your region. Outside of that all the games place you with a bunch of similar stat players. You don’t play with all random people. You get grouped up with people like you, so you never really get to even know if you’re “one of the best” players or if you’re worse than most. You either play them to be extremely competitive and you’re one of a handful of players good enough to actually be one of the best, or you’re just playing for fun. If you’re just playing for fun then 20ms is really, really, not important.
Like I said, that’s your area(and thats 4g from the att. Not the much faster 5g). Doesn’t change that you can look up coverage data from any source you can find. 5g coverage is completely dominated by t-mobile for nation wide coverage right now.
Now cell coverage for 3/4g and just keeping cell signal; Verizon all day.
Fast wise I’m at around 50 ping with no packet loss and over 400mbps.
Non “speed test” website wise, I will get over 30MB/sec downloads when I’m pulling in a game download from steam, so I know mine at least does over 280mbps in the real world.
I’m sure “location, location, location” on this, and it will vary a lot depending on your area and congestion in that area.
I’m actually shocked at how small an amount of people have t-mobiles. It works fantastic and never drops in my area, which is a whole lot better than the cable net I had. My phones are t-mo so the internet (its a gateway they give you, so modem/wifi in one) is $30 a month with no taxes or bs. Straight $30. I think it’s $50 if you aren’t a t-mo cell customer.
Everyone decided they wanted to have their own streaming and wanted a bigger piece of the pie. That fragmented where to watch and caused old shows and movies to cost way more for streaming rights.
Then Netflix cancels too many originals without proper endings, which passes people off. After that they got rid of password sharing which made it a pain to have a work and home type of viewing experience. Now they’re adding ads. They’ve become shit and now it’s making it a bit harder for themselves.
I have a gaming laptop and yes, you can get a gaming laptop for the same $600-$700 that will perform better than the steam deck, but I seldom used my gaming laptop, between the size, needing a controller or mouse (hate gaming with a laptop trackpad) booting up, needing to save the game yadda yadda yadda and finding a spot to set the laptop, the deck is just loads quicker and more convenient to play. I’ve probably played more games on my deck over the last year than the previous 3 years on my desktop or laptop combined. Between kids/family and work I just don’t have many large time chunks that I would dedicate to gaming. The Steam deck I can pick up and be playing 30 seconds later, then put it back into hibernation just as quick, where it loses around 5% battery a day, so I hardly ever shut it fully off.
You’re talking like everyone owns a steam deck od Rog Ally, or should just buy one of those instead? Well for starters, the SD doesn’t play switch games all really well. Frame rate and stuttering issues and not all games work.
Secondly; and the bigger thing is that the SD is far and away the most popular pc handheld. It’s estimated to have sold around 4 to 6 million units so far. I love mine. It’s awesome. Switch has currently sold 132 million units. It’s the most sold system in the world. More than any xbox, ps4, or ps5.
You’re talking like the Mig isn’t for people who already own a switch. You’re also in some weird edgelord mindset where you think mostly just kids own a switch? Nintendo releases the age demographics of switch users, since you enter in your birthday on your profile. Every age between 18 and 45 is higher than any age under 17. Most people with a switch aren’t 12. They’re 25.
Look at how they’re willing to act in order to attract millions of 12 year old viewers. You can’t fake act being that stupid and emotional for that many hours pretty much every day unless you’re fucked up in the head.
