The last time I downloaded something big on my PS4 I tunneled the traffic through my laptop and magically it downloaded at a reasonable rate

youre probably just hitting lovely psn server boxes. i remember some fauntleroy on the bombcast explaining sonys network infrastructure and why it sucks so hard compared to steam or xbox live, but i cant recall specifics

It was something like Steam and Microsoft using multiple servers all over the country to distribute downloads and Sony using only one or two

Now they have DOCSIS 3.1 on modems, supposed to be capable of gigabit+ throughput.

I used to make fun of the fact that Lewis North Fort is furnished with $500 chairs (according to the base supply catalogue anyway) but honestly they're comfortable as gently caress to sit in

Just got back from a Cobra Gold and some Korean Amphibious Assault demonstration. My wife bought me a Switch while I was gone. I went to the electronics store in town to buy Zelda since it's dual Japanese/English. This is a good Zelda game. I am not sure what else I am going to use this thing for but I'll be damned if I'm not having fun with it for now.

Yeah, I figured that out a few weeks back when Rocket league was taking an hour to patch (smaller than 250 megs iirc) and Steam had downloaded the entire install for Wildlands in the same timeframe. I was going nuts for a bit, checking my cables, running speed test, etc



Then I saw an article on PSN and got mad at myself for wasting 2 hours testing this poo poo

Try changing the MTU settings on the ps4 to help improve the speeds. The default usually cause your ps4 to go super slow.

I stayed with the ship since I am attached to it. I did drink a fuckton of Thai beer, switch to rum at lunch, and puke in some lovely cab trying to get back though.

I'm playing the remastered Homeworld games and I find it hard to believe that I actually completed these games back in the late 90's/early 2000's. I must have been some sort of tactical tier 1 operator back then because some of these missions are brutally difficult.
