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.

Cloud gaming is effectively impossible due to little things like the speed of light. Sure, you could play Civilization via cloud but good fucking luck with competitive shooters.

It's so stupid. It's a solution looking for a problem.

I'm happy that Google Stadia died.

That and the US being such a large market while having some of the worst internet in the developed world. Last I read only ¼ of the network is fiber

Would be cool to play civ5 on a long term server.

I'm thinking something that emails you when its your turn too. Like playing chess over mail.

Civ over mail. Physical mail. Like those old mail chess games in the times before online chess (use https://lichess.org/ btw <3 ).

Move a scout, wait 3-5 days for the answer.

What if everyone is on the cloud in the shooter?
