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.

I had this same fucking situation recently in an issue on GitHub.

It wasn't the drivers.

It needs more mouse bytes to run.

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

"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!

[–] [email protected] 93 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Which would be useful if telnet didn’t tell us the port is open.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

it could be a bad RAM chip. we should start Prime95, check for ECC faults..

If she could afford ECC, she would wear nicer shoes.

I recently had a game tell my my NVIDIA driver was out of date by like a year.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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago (2 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.

dang, sometimes i think my shit is slow, my heart goes out to you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (10 children)

My mom told me she's on 25 Mbps the other day. Have no idea how she survives.

How much do you pay? Is it DSL?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have about the same speeds. I'm paying $65/mo, it's 5G, and it's better than every other option around.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thats a bummer, $65 is gig speed around me.
