What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?
I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?
I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.
Ah, yeah, playing on official or public servers is definitely gonna be a mixed bag in terms of location. I’ll admit I didn’t really consider that as I’m lucky enough to have a good group of friends with similar gaming interests, and we’re all within about 100 KM of each other. I just ended up building a server and self-hosting out of my home.
Don't really think the whole Twitter migration worked, at least not for me… Just being here is isolating and doesn't help with networking, plus I miss everyone who didn't switch, so I think from now on, I'll be active both on #Mastodon and on #Twitter / #X… Sure hope the #Fediverse won't hate me for this! 💀
@ninokadic I agree, there used to be more activity and @academicchatter here. There are some very active political philosophers on #BlueSky and I got some important news and paper alerts there. But my timeline is more diverse and more fun here!
🚨 Attn: #Women in the #fediverse and on #mastodon we need a hastag like #fedihelps for each other when the trolls descend so the squad shows up. Any ideas what it should be? 💅
If anyone is trying to access stuff at the British Library but can't due to the #CyberAttack, National Library of Scotland is worth a try.
For example, it has some historical maps of the entire UK.
I've been looking at a large scale one for Suffolk, where my grandmother's family farmed up til the 1880s, and overlaying a modern satellite view. #BritishLibrary#maps https://www.nls.uk/
@markhburton While awaiting the return of digitised manuscripts & context to the British Library website, I've been hoping to find alternative sources after all the international collaboration on IIIF etc? but meanwhile just discovered that some popular images are at https://imagesonline.bl.uk
