On Windows, NanaZip is even better. It’s a fork of 7zip focused on performance and UI improvements.

Did they ever fix the performance issues this game had?

It's not exactly hard for me to make "backups" of most games I can download, as the DRM is usually cracked within weeks or months of release.

A single player game that is exclusive to streaming would just be gone forever the instant it gets delisted.

you can game on high end equipment without buying it.

This is how they get you to give up ownership of your games. I'm fine with it as an option, but I fear that one day publishers will decide it should be the only option.

This is about GeForce Now, their streaming service.

I got mine a few months into the pandemic for the same reason.

I have a Secretlab chair that I like. Which model is right for you depends on your size. I paid about $500 for mine. They often have $100 off coupons.

I often see some pretty comfortable chairs at Costco for < $300, if you live near one. The savings on the chair alone would more than cover the cost of a 1 year membership.

This presumes that the only way to add substance to a film is through dialogue.

Tacking a license to the end of a comment posted to just about any website does not actually change how the sites content is licensed.

Analog telephony was still built on a complex automated network. Those rooms full of operators manually connecting callers by plugging in physical wires haven’t been a thing for 70 years. They even started going digital in the ‘60s.

Industry experience in networking

Hey man, I'm just speaking from 15 years of industry experience. Like I said, if you're happy with the performance, that's great. But I can objectively measure (and feel) the difference, so don't go trying to tell me my personal experience is somehow invalid. People should know that there is, in fact, a difference. You're not even addressing what I said about the latency and just getting hung up on packet loss.

Also my internet is not expensive. My city has a municipal fiber network, and I only pay about $50/mo for symmetrical gigabit service. I don't need to "vindicate" myself here. I don't think people should have to settle for wireless internet to get away from Comcast when fiber is a faster option without compromises.
