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.

What if everyone is on the cloud in the shooter?

Wanna bring about the next French Revolution, worldwide? Cause that seems like a good way to do it!

That and the US being such a large market while having some of the worst internet in the developed world. Last I read only Ā¼ of the network is fiber 
Show threadValmondFeb 18

I live in France, has fantastic fibre, would still hate to play civilisation ā€œin the cloudā€.

There is just no incentive to do so IMO. Even a cheap mobile phone can render well enough, and I just hate any kind of even ā€œpossibleā€ lag.

I play games over 4G happily. Not likely to work very well with game streaming.

tbf: The US is huge as fuck. Most countries in the developed world could fit in Texas.

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

Iā€™m thinking something that emails you when its your turn too. Like playing chess over mail.

Show threadLH0ezVTFeb 18

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

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

The best free, adless Chess server

Free online chess server. Play chess in a clean interface. No registration, no ads, no plugin required. Play chess with the computer, friends or random opponents.

lichess.org

Interesting. I mean it more in the sense that civ is just a long game regardless, so some async maybe help.

Isnā€™t that a thing in freeciv, that open source version of civilization?
Show threadBryyMFeb 18
There is a freeciv? How did i not know this
Show threadFamkoFeb 18
Yeah, thereā€™s a web version of the game if you want to try it out, though it seems to be based on civilization 2 or 3 rather than 5 or 6.
Show threadInternetCitizen2Feb 18
Unciv is based on civ5 and has support for BNW from the mod list.

I believe freeciv is civ 1.

Itā€™s so stupid. Itā€™s a solution looking for a problem.

As with anything these techbro oligarchs comes up with. Unfortunately they do have the power to bend reality to their twisted wills.

I completed Nier Automata via GeForce Now just fine. Competitive shooters maybe not, but thatā€™s just a subset of gaming anyway.

ā€œSure, you could play good games, but good luck playing garbage.ā€
Show threadknexcarFeb 18
Shooters arenā€™t garbage to people who like them. Different people prefer different games.
