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I recently had a game tell my my NVIDIA driver was out of date by like a year.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

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

[–] RisingSwell 37 points 2 weeks ago (17 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.

How much do you pay? Is it DSL?

[–] Ganbat 5 points 1 week 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.

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

[–] Ganbat 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, definitely. We have an ISP that offers gig speeds here, but it's $180 a month with 300GB data last I checked.

Mobile data. Used to be ADSL, that wasn't faster. I am rural af.
