#12I felt the urge to play Deadfire today so I got my gaming PC out of the closet. Shortly thereafter it went down a flight of stairs (don’t ask) and lost both wifi antennas.
Downloading 20GB at about 5mbit was painfully retro, but I got the idea to Ethernet it to my MacBook and in a few clicks was borrowing its quite decent wifi connection. But my MacBook doesn’t have an Ethernet port or a normal usb port. So I got a dongle with Ethernet and plugged it into a USB to mini and then a mini to C (didn’t have a USB to USB C cable).
Probably the most “LAN party experience” I’ve had in 15 years.

It's absurd and real at the same time.
My apartment contract forces me to pay $99/mo. for roughly 120mbit, while most residences on my block can get 1gbit symmetric from Google Fiber for $70/mo.

#16Does this work well with M$ Flight Simulator? It's notorious for its long installation and update times and huge (100GB+) storage requirements

I assume the parent comment is making the opposite point? I'm in Australia and I can get 90-100mbps which is very fast in this country - I'd say the average house gets 50-60mbps (guessing, haven't looked it up).

#18I kinda did this when i got my steam deck. I mounted my nas to steam deck, added it as a steam storage and moved my games there. It works rather well. No storage required on steam deck. It is slower than playing from SD, but not that bad on smaller games.

is that the same "Office Click-to-Run" that I've had to disable running from start-up 15 times?

Id love 120Mbps down!
I'm stuck with 100, which is actually closer to 80 most of the time.
I could have 250 if I wanted to more than double my monthly bill, but paying 200$ a month for internet isn't my Jam.
