no i have not because i'm not into 4k FPS games where somebody calls me the n-word because i managed to land a neck shot. go with god,tho

fair enough. tldr is that its not uncommon for games to be 100gb+ these days, some reaching 150-250gb+ range - and these often release in that size with day 1 mandatory download update of 20-50gb

thankfully we should see the industry pull back a little bit from the insanity in the coming 1-3 years, because the root cause for game size inflation is technical inadequacy of previous generation gaming consoles, with a lot of assets being at best just duplicated

have you seen game sizes these days? 100 was more than enough for anything i could imagine maybe back when i first got that speed, in 2010, but in 2022 i have better things to do than patiently wait for something to download

idk man. at 400 megabits i can download 100 gigs in about half an hour. i don't mind going to make a sandwich or something

im sure it hasnt gone amiss for you that 400 is 100 times 4. if you'd ask me to put down a line for where internet speed may be excessive for a modern prosumer, my subjective take would be somewhere in 300-500 range

i have gigabit and get roughly half that. it isnt symmetric. it's fast enough that i never have to worry about speed or throttling or anything. just download whatever i want, from wherever i want, while doing work meetings, while ms jones watches netflix or w/e

we dont have any 4k screens in the house. maybe one day :shrug:

honestly if it's a brand new video game i also don't mind waiting 4 hours for it to download. i'm not a little kid on christmas morning. as you said, you have better things to do than wait around. go and do those things.

now if i had to wait 4 hours before i could start a movie, like in the bad old days, yeah gently caress that. but even at 100mbps i don't

Right. the only reason somebody has to be super hornt to get a game fast is if a patch drops and they want to use some item dupe exploit or w/e to get ahead before everybody else logs on. I'll go watch empire strikes back again and then go back to the game and score some honest wins.

the specific example there is opening a game to a surprise 50 or whatever gb update. at one point a game i played had several of those in a week, in like 40-70gb range. at 1 gbps effective i can afford to just ignore these logistics and not like have to remember to check my twitter mid-day to start my desktop for an update release to have the game ready for the time i arranged a game with someone in the evening

The only people who should care about such an update are professional gamers, who would simply submit a reimbursement request to their employer for a game delay due to an update. Sorted.

i play ps5 and switch so the limiting factor there tends to be nintendo/sony servers anyway

it is annoying that i have to remember to buy a game a couple hours before i actually want to play it. but it's pretty minor tbh

100-200 mbps is good enough. even doubling your speeds from there means big games take an hour vs 1/2 hour, and that’s decreasing returns territory. I have 1 gig because the price is good but had zero issues at 1/5 of that. better speeds are nice but once you hit 100 it’s Fine

Just checked and the Apple TV’s getting 800mbs down. More than plenty. Only 60 bucks a month, pretty good by American standards

Watched The Green Knight in 4K a few weeks ago and it all just worked and was gorgeous.

cls: managed to get 8.6 liters of aquavit at 40% abv, not too shabby! Was shooting for at least 8L. Got a new 10L barrel that’s full of water to seal things up and I should be able to start aging the stuff tomorrow.

Haven’t tasted any yet but aroma wise the aniseed and Angelica is really coming through even though I used way more caraway & dill & cardamom, Doesn’t seem that aquavit-y but it’s pretty dang pleasant. We’ll see if the caraway & dill come through more when it mellows out a bit
