for me its austrlia
laggy when playing with fellow anglosphere members
local servers are basically the tower of babel since like 400 different cultures and languages are concentrated there
have to play with new zealanders
its just generally not a good experience.
why havent emus violently killed every politician for their failure to provide fiber optic to the entire continent?
what's wrong with New Zealand?
they call australia "aussie" which is a verb
everyone calls aussies aussies aussie.
that's the only bad thing?
entire decades of greater internet saying australians are top-tier shitposters
[australian] normalfags get on the internet
"haha, we ARE top-tier shitposters aye"
suddenly the most boring, dumb, unfunny idiots on the web
don't even get me started on the death of LANs, which imo was the final nail in what used to be a thriving culture
don't even get me STARTED on our fucking daytime tv
but they're calling the country "aussie", which is wrong
Siberia
Be a Beaner
Servers set in Latam were built using the best technology available in the year 1996
300ms when playing with other beanerinos who are lagging even worse
Spaniards show up for some fucking reason to insult everyone, contribute to nothing when doing objectives and won't shut the fuck up
No one joins when I host
If the game isn't Fifa, F2P or Gears of War don't expect it to have active players nearby at all
Forever forced to play with Anglos
Games like Rising Storm, Killing floor and Arma are virtually unknown here so I have to suck it an settle for 160ms on a good day and play them exclusively from 1am to 3am
For some odd titles I am paired up with brit bongs
"u w0t m8, u w0t m8, where you from ya cunt? u w0t m8 u w0t m8"
I have no idea how I even managed to get the achievements for Halo 3 back when, for most matches I had 200ms
I did not know what it was like to play games with a ping under 60ms until a decade ago when I mostly played Tf2.
for me it is banana in pajamas
any south american server where brazilians and argentinians are fighting on voice chat
PC multiplayer gaming sucks balls in Japan.
Constant Chink and Russian hackers joining every JP server
anglosphere
I haven't had much experience with multiplayer. But fellow Australians were very good experiences. This was before social media and people were friendly, generous and kind of timid so high expectations from eachother, a treat to interact and join in doing what we love.
Good reason to make it all PVE so everyone is eager to make connections, do better. PVP could be a shitshow of everyone trying to make the other falter, like tennis, or basketball, degenerate sports. Focused on the enemy instead of yourself, your team. If there's a loser it's a bad game. Everyone dirty at the end of rugby and you have acheived something bybthat with the other team, all men/manly, brave. Can celebrate together having ascended, earned a state for a while, long enough to enjoy it with some spare. Feel good having done your part. Give credit to what did a good job. Evwryone a part of that and what glorifies it. Someone wins then everyone wins.
Videogames weren't popular, knowing about them and being good enough at them made you a select member of something, one of the best. No gameplay video upload, no streamers. People playing because they enjoyed it. No social scene. No gatekeeping. A good thing potential most of what was perceived. Imagination makig everything enhanced, real, extended past what was prepared and rendered.
Had a good time in The Division too. Solo and then stoic, someone wave, invite, accept, get shown around. Thankfull, playing wingman loyal. Shown the way to be leader/start a party/make a party work.
it's an adjective you aussie aussie
Aus and NZ are basically the same, just we rip on each other for fun and friendly bants.
Kiwis shit on Aussies for stuff, Aussies shit on Kiwis for stuff. Ultimately we go to each other's countries to get drunk and fuck German backpackers anyway.
Brown trannoid seething
The worst part about gaming here is that games tend to die faster than more populated regions.
They exist
wait until you find out how American zoomers use the word "suss"
yeah this unironically sucked dick.
only positives was having gigabit internet in the mid-00s, FFXI's servers being just down the street and Japanese ISPs not caring at all about piracy.
Yep we're the worst also all FPS is filled with cheaters thanks to normalniggers
Yes, the word anglosphere is a common word used among people that aren't chuds. You would know this if you were white.
aussies act like theyre hard online
country is run by karen liberals who want a nanny state
grimmest
yep, you're brown
There are a lot of foreign students and seaniggers who you get in games.
Some guy is always spazzing out over text chat and you are using voice to talk to them, just winding them up, and then eventually they open their mouth and its some jeet and the game is over because everyone, including some seanigger who is keeping quiet and typing, is shitting on them.
if you avoid the games they play, then its generally pretty good, but trying to play competitive multiplayer games filled with these retards is always going to suck
every game that isn't made for the mainstream audiences has an uptime anywhere between 3 - 6 before it becomes kill
the alternative is jumping over to SEA to play with the monkes and chinks or biting the 300 ping bullet by going international
On the bright side cunts that only stick to singleplayer won't notice the difference since no one will talk about those kinds of games in your locale anyway.
Govt isn't a big thing here. Nobody likes it. It's frowned on to talk about it. Most people pretend it doesn't exist.
we used to be one of the best back when voice chat was normal and we had Cool Aussies populating servers but we dont have Cool Aussies anymore everyone here is mindbroken by one thing or another.
the perfect vaccum for the miserable karen to take root
every country is being run by Karen Liberals.
Boomers are dying or retiring so govt and upper management of companies has been replaced with Gen X Karens.
Gen X men are too busy on building sites and in trades to bother interfering/bothering with whatever the office girls are doing.
talking to young aussie blokes is depressing now
no energy and no hope among them
95% of them are single over half are virgins
just sad all round
no energy and no hope among them
No shit. If I was an 18yo Aussie fresh out of high-school I'd be fucking depressed too.
Shit economy, shit politics, no future to look forward to, immigrants ruining the place, no hope of ever owning a house and your choice for employment is limited to trades (destroying your body before you're 40yo) or do-nothing office jobs that'll be replaced by AI in 5 years.
Their only escape is getting drunk, doing meth or smoking weed in between Call of Duty lobbies after work, or maybe taking the tinnie out for some fishing on the weekend.
a good 75% of other aussies online fucking suck, i’m so sick of the whole “yerrr aye im such a bogan aye” act so many cunts put on, you can always tell when they’re forcing the accent to make the foreigners laugh and it gives me 2nd hand embarrassment. fuckin faggots that try to unironically sound like they’re in the big lez show 24/7.
have chinks join our servers at 130ms+ and lag around everywhere
scream on mic BING DAO OO CHING BING LONG
always cheating
play on JP server
have to deal with people speaking english, korean and japanese all in the same game
fucking hate playing with koreans so much, they're the absolute worst thing in gaming.
that's basically it, you can show a random zoomer a photo of Albo or Duttplug and they literally wont know who it is.
politics isn't forefront here, which means the people getting into politics have all kinds of perverse motives.
we had Christian Fundies, Populists (on both sides, Palmer and Greens etc.), billionaire's puppets, all because people don't really give a shit.
"she'll be right" has done irreparable damage to this country, if I could slap the person who coined that phrase I would.
we should all be saying "that's fucked, we should fix it."
Miserable women just need cock. It's men's fault if they deprived of penis inspection and so are sad. Women need attention like men need videogames.
or do-nothing office jobs that'll be replaced by AI in 5 years.
literally getting replaced now
mate was telling me last year that ai was doing 80% of his job without his boss knowing
well his boss found and fired 80% of the staff lmaooo
Grim
One of the guys in my TF2 clan about 17 years ago was a Venezuelan. I didn't know the country was run by a psycho (Chavez back then, I think), so in retrospect I'm amazed he was allowed to play.
The japs are passive and the Koreans are overly aggressive and arrogant.
Fuck Koreans.
you're not talking about videogames, go back to Anon Babble if you want to discuss your 3rd world shithole
pretty much, I've just had to play games where ping isn't an issue because unless you are playing fortnite or something really popular australian servers for games are all ghost towns.
aussies make the best cocksleeves when it comes to erp
I like the weather here, not sure how much else I like these days.
That said I'm a support worker and have an offer to do some porn work so I'm not as fucked finanically as I could be. Still live at home but and I hate it.
I know so many people that are in office admin or para-planning that could be replaced by AI literally today.
the only thing stopping that from happening is their boss is a boomer who doesn't know how.
heck im a programmer who took some time off and im concerned about re-entering the workforce because im not even sure what it looks like now.
I imagine there's less jobs to begin with, and i'll have to do in person coding interviews which im not jazzed about.
koreans are just chinese people with money, so yeah that behavior checks out from what i've been forced to deal with. never take any responsibility for their play and ready to throw the game within the first minute lel.
mate was telling me last year that ai was doing 80% of his job without his boss knowing
friend's gf works in HR for a major company and just copy-pastes ChatGPT answers for 90% of her work.
Has been for 18 months now.
Basically every industry is adopting it in some form and its building momentum, shit's gunna change quick.
be me
Apply to ~200 carpentry/electrical/fitter/turner apprenticeships between 2007-2014

At least you could get your own doctor to write stuff for DSP back then, now I'm dodging cenno so they dont realise my bf is my bf.
u rite cunt?
Why you havin a sook when you can focus on the match?
cheer up
have an offer to do some porn work
how big is your pp?
tag?
completely made up story unless you provide the company's name
Venezuela is such a tragedy
30 years ago they were the Saudis of Latam.
Now they are known as violent criminals that show up in gangs and should be deported on sight.
Arguably the staff didn't really need to exist before LLM's either
I knew a girl whose whole job was to take some notes from a financial planner and then fill out some forms with those notes, all day every day.
bro could have spent $50 for some uni student to make him a web form that spat out the completed form without her.
I think a lot of this AI stuff is actually just exposing how useless so many jobs are, if your job can be done by an LLM it likely could have been automated 20 years ago too.
HR
you must be living under a rock
see another mate works at a meat packing plant as QA, all his emails/write ups are done with gemini now. literally just copy pasted in the entire QA book and then has a formatted response box where he puts in the infraction etc.
isnt there massive shortages in those fields? I knew plenty of apprentices
what makes you say that?
HR isn't a company mate
AI is far from taking any office job that isn't the most braindead junior role
all the australians i have met in ffxiv
It's not laggy when playing with fellow aussies or kiwis. We just can't have any sort of competent competitive experience with anyone not in the Oceania region. I still get seppos to put up with my ping in the niche games with lower player pops though. There's not much we can do about our awkward geographical position. Even putting cables in the ocean wouldn't solve it.
Yes, there's a shortage, I don't know how many applicants they get today, but back in 2011 they told me they got 200 applicants for 1 position in a town of 30k. That's equal to 0.66% of the towns population applying.
where are you from?
all i know is that he worked in hervey bay and was HR
bought my apartment in Sydney 5 years ago
doubled my income since then
going to buy an investment property this year
life here isn't as bad as doomers make it out to be
florida
NTA but I'm originally from Hervey bay,
I don't think I've seen the place mentioned on Anon Babble in my whole life
Golden chicken garlic sauce
are Aussies obsessed with Americans?
Japanese games are played exclusively by the biggest loser freaks imaginable in Australia
if you are in the top 5% of course it doesn't feel too bad
what job? how the fuck could you afford anything in sydney
They can't get enough of the BAC
man I knew guys back in 2009 that were buying investment properties
I poo-pood them, I was so sure we were due for a crash like the US
I turned down every opportunity to buy property
there were Acre+ blocks going for $50k.
fuck I am so dumb, second biggest mistake of my life.
first was talking myself out of bitcoin at $20.
>have to play with new zealanders
funny you say that when a lot of you cunts are incredibly annoying to deal with
grandparents had houses
lost them all from old age housing made them sell
parents had two houses
divorced and fucked each over so they both had to sell
by the time i was earning enough to live houses were out of my reach
FEELS GOOD
My grandad bought beachfront property on his postman wage.
his wife didn't work and he had 5 kids, he did nothing but deliver mail for like 40 years and then retired on an annuity.
he died with millions in equity.
sure he didn't have computer games, but fuck me do I envy that.
I have never seen an australian flag in international servers
Probably India
Brazil
Or Russia
Reason:
You are in Brazil, Russia or India.
No amount of multi-player is going to let you forget that.
