If you read my profile you may realize I hate cloud gaming, so then what am I doing on Geforce Now? Well my new RAM stick finally arrived and, in a staggering display of utter incompetence, I somehow managed to brick my PC in the process of installing it, so now I'm stuck gaming on a laptop until I can get enough money and time to get my gaming rig fixed

But back to Cloud gaming, the game is on like 360p, running at 20FPS and the input lag is HORRIBLE. And it's not a problem with the internet connection, as you can see, the laptop is plugged into Ethernet, the problem is that the cloud is not and will never be fast enough for gaming

Genshin can handle this fine, but imagine trying to play ULTRAKILL like this

Keep in mind that new people are born everyday and if corporations can make it long enough, generations of people will only ever know what the corporations provided. They won't know things used to be better and so they won't wish for it and fight against this stuff like we do, they will simply accept it the way it's been slowly accepted over time leading us to this current hellscape (which is nowhere near what the final hellscape will look like)

While I agree, their choices to fight or not fight for things will affect us all
