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.

"Delete and re-download the entire game, but use a 56k modem."

"My God house, the game launched fine! But how did the 56k modem have any effect?"

"It didn't, the reinstall would have worked either way, I just wanted to waste your time as punishment for being stupid."

What about port blocking by the ISP? It could be a networking condition!

What about 12VHPWR syndrome? Spontaneous GPU power connector inflammation could explain why other games are affected es well...

I recently had a game tell my my NVIDIA driver was out of date by like a year.

Ngl I just ignored it, that's like a 500mb update and I'm just not interested in the time it takes unless something breaks.

Mate, how do you play any games if 500mb takes too much time?

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 week ago (13 children)

Because I already have them and don't need to download them again. 500mb on a mediocre day is like 2 hours.

If you mean online games, I tend not to because they often work poorly. For some strange, totally inexplicable reason that definitely has nothing to do with my terrible internet.

How much do you pay? Is it DSL?
