You mean it won't happen again. Netflix's goal was never to be good. It was to disrupt the industry. And they've succeeded; which is why everything sucks and piracy is a better option once again.

I have to assume they're targeting 30fps because that would be using all the bells and whistles like raytracing and running at 4k on the consoles; which are unlikely to be able to achieve 60fps or higher with all that shit on.

And, as they have done with literally every single GTA since 3: It likely won't release on PC at the same time. It will come 1-2 full years later and when it does, will have more features and run at a higher frame rate.

If I actually have faith in the developer, plan on getting the game at launch, and it has some extra in-game goodies, I might pre-order it.

I pre-ordered Elden Ring and SOTE. I won't pre-order Nightreign because I'm not sure if it will be something I like, as it doesn't even sound like an official Fromsoft game; it sounds like a mod made by a teenager.

I'm just talking about the content in the case of Second Life. It's distributed through BitTorrent, which was one of its selling points at launch.

Though at this point, it might have emulated servers as well.

What exactly are you wanting to host at home that you need super fast upload speeds, and how much traffic are you even expecting to see?

Second Life?

Everything is hosted locally and created by the players. It works on BitTorrent tech to send and receive the data of objects and shit.

There are also players run emulated servers for older MMOs like Ultima Online, EverQuest even WoW, making it somewhat decentralized. You're not forced to actually subscribe to and play on the official servers (if they even still exist).

Yeah. Bit hard to switch messenger apps when they don't talk to each other if nobody you're talking to switches with you.

They love it so much they don't want anyone else to have it or for it to ever change even slightly.

Wish I could actually use the patch on my PS5. Or can I? Can you softmod the PS5 or would I need to buy something to solder to the mainboard?

I don't think my PC could actually achieve 60fps if I emulated it.

Uh... No? You get the exact same consumer protections, and you can actually do more with the business account than your standard home internet plan.

Get a business account with your ISP and get one of those weird plans that gives you more up speed than down speed.

I thought it was kinda weird that the WISP I worked for has even up and down speeds for most plans. Though they were also twice as expensive as Comcast, but if you were using the WISP it's because you don't really have access to anything else.
