/v/ - Video Games

Because while NN being repealed isn't great, the hysteria about it is fucking insane.

What will likely happen is ISPs will downgrade traffic to tiny random websites only 100 people use and upgrade it to sites that pay them.

They way people are making out to be is every single non-mainstream website will be completely blocked and everything is going to be sold to FaceBerg.

If you honestly think that you're retarded.

>>13860120

If you choose cosmic power, you can't become a sentient humanoid, that's retarded.

>>13860139

To think of it though, that hardly matters. Animals have no sentience and yet they can live happy and content lives.

>>13860149

>animals that don't fight for their basic freedom can live happy and content lives

Sounds about right.

>>13860165

Didn't you get the memo? Ignorance is bliss something something.

>>13860112

>It is video game

You keep saying that, but I don't see any video games here. I bet you can't even cite an example of how a video game changed when Net Neutrality was introduced. This is pure meta and political wankery.

>>13860215

So you're downloading games without internet somehow?

Interesting, tell me more about it.

>>13860123

ISP's will downgrade Biggest sites so normalfags can be gouged for their faceberg fix

Without net neutrality people might actually get angry and flip cars over, not to mention killing politicians over their bread and circuss, so comcast will be allowed by the FCC to compete which will result in throttling being a losing strategy because a company who doesn't do it will become more popular, invisible hand might work because i don't think ISP's spend money on social engineering and advertising to have loyal cultists customers

>>13860215

And that shitty act, which is (((Net Neutrality))) and is not actual net neutrality was put into action under fucking Obama's reign, too.

>>13860112

>he didn't get the memo

It has been decreed by nu/v/ that net neutrality was an evil kike trick all along, and that as long as Larry Page and Jeff Bezos feel a tiny little sting from having increased operating costs, the consumer should be more than happy to be bent over and have their shitpussy blown the fuck out with piecemeal internet packages with massive traffic throttling.

>>13860254

Throttle airflow into your lungs you waste of space.

Yeah remember when the internet was fucked up and everything besides bigcorporation.com and megacapatalists.net was super slow and broken into cabele like packages before Obama introduced NN?

>>13860250

>Obama

This Anon gets it.

And as of now, this thread is now a Dubs Thread.

>>13860261

I've been staring at this for like 5 minutes and I still don't understand what the fuck it means

>>13860302

>tranny fucker

Oh, be fair. Michelle is not a tranny, she's just rather ugly.

>>13860254

The worst part is that unlike the current president, NN being removed won't get fixed by someone else after 4 years, it'll probably be permanent. Which means sites like 8chan will die while Facebook and Amazon grow in power.

>>13860415

Just fucking kill yourself with how blatantly wrong you are you imbecile.

Throttle will be on yewtube, faceberg and amazon because they're the big ones.

take a look who's supporting NN.

>>13860423

Throttling biggest sites would do some anti-monopoly work on the internet, too. So as far as I'm concerned, it's actually a good thing.

>>13860423

You are blatantly fucking shill.

>>13860423

Throttle wont be on those sites because those sites can afford to pay.

When the ISP shops around and says "give us X money for premium access to our customers, or we will throttle" Facebook, Steam and google can afford to pay every time, others can't. Facebook, Steam and google can afford to pay more.

Lots of people are supporting NN. If you are basing your judgement on this entirely on some people being on one side of the argument then you're too stupid to understand it anyway.

>>13860441

ISPs, at least in the UK, Canada, and USA, operate as natural monopolies. Especially in the USA where it's routine as fuck for massive nationwide ISPs to force local and federal governments to shut down small community ran ISPs, and limit access to infrastructure for smaller commercial ISPs.

>>13860247

The alternative is for these bigger sites to, you know, pay a reasonable amount for the extra peering they need

ISPs are already soaking customers, they're pretty good at gauging what they can actually get away with, Shekelberg is a riper fruit for harvest in this case

>>13860455

Indeed. These retards for some reason don't realize that if the ISP's put the squeeze on smaller sites, then the fucking hosting services are going to go up in arms about losing business. Why the hell would Comcast/Warner/Cox/ShekelLink want to sacrifice their already poor PR to get a paltry sum from a bunch of little websites when they could literally make extra 1-2 Million in fucking fees from JUST Youtube and Faceberg with no PR cost.

>>13860479

>mobile networks

Not disagreeing but that's not the best example because carriers already throttle services. Non-mobile would be a better example for usage.

>>13860123

That is only one of the many issues you fucking retard. The biggest problem is how it will make it easy for big ISPs to push out all competition and become monopolies EVERYWHERE. They're already monopolies in huge parts of the US, and it will only get worse. They will throttle the fuck out of you and be free to block whatever they don't like, such as P2P. They'll start overcharging like fuck, too. Which they already are, but again, it will be even worse.

>>13860507

Non mobile is the same except dominated by netflix, proportion of the sites that aren't in The Big Boy Club is even smaller than displayed here.

because this board's moderation has been compromised by the same type of cancer that affects cuckchan.

You see the same type of arguments against it that were used against gamergate threads back then.

>>13860120

>little girl choice

>have to age normally

Fuck that. What's the point then? Second choice and then change the rules of this obviously so I can be a cute little girl forever.

>>13860512

If you're going to bother to cite sources it should be for what you're trying to argue, is what I'm saying.

>>13860314

Translated into burger:

>hold your breath, loser

>>13860535

The only reason there's alternatives now is because the big monopolies are forced to share lines.

>Customers will choose the alternative that does not do that, if they value those services.

They can't choose something that no longer exists.

>>13860120

>>13860525

>"You are teleported to a fantasy setting of your choice"

>"You may become a member of any sentient race in the setting that is humanoid

>not picking a fantasy with some extremely long living race à la elves

>not picking a fantasy setting where eternal life and youth through some magic is a possibility

>>13860120

I'd only get cosmic power if there are other cosmic powers around and we have cosmic battles and laugh at inferior life forms or if I can wish myself to be happy.

Otherwise little girl all day every day.

>>13860552

Just become some immortal being stronger than everything ala overlord and rape farmer women.

It's what I would do.

>>13860120

Can I choose to be a little futa girl?

>>13860590

Gay

But okay

>>13860600

>imploding there's anything gay about a little girl with a dick banging other little girls, high schoolers, Christmas cakes, aras and just generally fucking a path through an idyllic rural setting

And just think, that's before they all get pregnant

>>13860589

Then do what I said but in an anime setting.

>>13860112

I'll be blunt, what difference does it make when sites like Daily Stormer are already censored even WITH Net Neutrality. Either way we're fucked unless a replacement comes into place that bans data caps, fast lanes and censorship.

If it was something that would actively impact the industry like TPP which would ban Doujinshi, I would allow it. However since it really doesn't make a difference I'm just gonna bumplock one thread at a time.

>>13860722

Won't it affect online games though?

>>13860112

I live in one country in South America that signed a law to uphold net neutrality in 2014. How bad is this going to affect me and how can I help?

>>13860727

It's a wait and see situation.

>>13860692

>Your sexuality will stay the same as it is now.

I think that means your current sexuality now will be carried over, so if you like girls now you'll like girls when you become a little girl, and only if you're not interested in anything will you be defaulted to liking guys, unless you're already a faggot right now.

>>13860713

>>13860722

>>13860735

Aw shit, it's the Hungry Hungry Hebrew. How's it going, Mark?

>>13860535

Wasn't internet set up by government infrastructure so its a public service?

>>13860735

>It's a wait and see situation.

Why would anything nice happen or anything be to our benefit?

You know this is anti consumer and you're just going to ignore it and hope everything gets better?

>>13860743

I'm alright

>>13860755

Either Google profits off it or ATT profits off it. either way the consumer is fucked.

>>13860534

>hold your breath, lose

>hold

… that is not what 'throttle' means. At best, it's a pedantic and sophomoric interpretation of a definition of the word, 'throttle'.

>>13860765

So why not try to stop it instead of just letting a corporate dick slide up your ass?

>>13860772

because to stop it you'll need to replace net neutrality

>>13860792

replace with what?

Why not try to maintain net neutrality?

>>13860800

>Why not try to maintain net neutrality?

what neutrality?

look

>>13860713

>>13860856

Correct me if I'm wrong, it was the first time I'm hearing of it.

It first sounds like the cite is censored not locked off at a higher price. Do they uncensor the content if you pay for it?

Also was it a decision that the company made or was it already mandated by an ISP?

>>13860874

>Correct me if I'm wrong, it was the first time I'm hearing of it.

Where the fuck do you retards come from?

>>13861004

I'm not a clever man. But is just letting them get rid of net neutrality the better thing to do when at least now there is some kind of legal precedence that they shouldn't lock off access to sites by ISP mandates?

>>13861072

Alright that sucks, but why is removing net neutrality going to prevent future situation like that and not make it more frequent?

>>13861092

1)the actual filing by the fcc explicitly mentions that the only content censorship going on is by middlemen services (hosts, social media, etc) and never by ISPs

2)the administration is suing to block att merger and demanding a lot of divestments to allow it to go through

>>13861116

ok. that makes sense

>>13860120

>pick second option

>make sick ass video games with my new powers

>reshape part of the universe into a desirable woman

Second option all the way.

>>13860713

>people lose their shit with the end of NN, as a loss of freedom in the future

>while open censorship is happening right fucking now, done by some of these people

Let it burn, enjoy the salt and ride the tiger

>>13860508

The biggest issue is that retards like you are acting that the 400 page law in question consists of 399 empty pages + the sentence "treat every package the same and be nice", which I find to be rather unlikely.

>>13860544

The only reason you don't have more options is municipalities have been lobbied by big ISPs so they can have monopolies.
