Wild to be gaming in Australia. Playing with the chinese and africans

[โ€“] MCHEVA4EVA@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

I'm in Perth where this cable will go. We do occasionally play with Chinese players it's happened in a few games not a lot though. It's mostly SEA players. WA is in this weird spot for gaming because all of the game companies put there servers in melb or sydney and we get shafted on ping. Because of the time difference if you play late at night and there aren't enough players you often get pushed to SEA servers. We get a lot of Indos and Singaporeans on our servers too. Will be interesting to see if we end up playing with more Saffas.
