How do homeless people "game" ?

how do homeless people "game" ?

public wifi connections can't be that fast right? I thought gaming sockets were closed

I used to play a shitload on my laptop using the Library's wifi, and no one gave a shit.

What brought about this topic? Is it something that commonly happens? I've never given it a thought before, I just assumed they didn't because, well, wouldn't they have bigger problems?

homeless people aren't exactly known for actually trying to work themselves out of their predicament.

Ping isn't tied to download rate.
Marketers love to refer to your data transfer rate as "speed", because it gets your downloads done faster, but the data is not really moving faster; more of it is being moved at once.

An online game just needs enough width in the line for its packets to get through, and the connection to be reliable enough to not fail or drop any packets.

There are no homeless people here unless you count illegal immigrants.

Fuck it even they get a place to sleep. But I doubt videogames is a priority for them.

they usually just play survival horror game The Reality, trying to find food & shelter, dodging random encounters multiculture

worst fucking crafting system to be honest

its dont

Used to have a gay homeless meth-head in an MMO guild; i never asked for details, but if i recall right he just used free wifi and public power outlets.

Heard shit like that is more common overseas in like Japan. Going from cafe to cafe.

Just my luck I gotta live in the only place with such a shitty coverage.

If the American arcade scene wasn't dead I would probably still be able to play vidya.

what goes through a persons mind to think to himself "LOL DUDE WEED LAMO HOW DOES HOMELESS DUDES PLAY VIDYA XDD"

Only retarded potheads could come up with a stupid thought like that.

You play offline all the time.

If you mean downloading game, just use the library. But don't download too large files at a time. I think 4-5 gigs is the safe spot. Although with my laptop, I can only play SNES and GBA roms so that wasn't much of a problem.

Also, try not to play game too late into the night. You should wake up and be ready for work at 5-6am.

After being dealt a bad hand at life, and then had to work to get out of it. You need to find a non-destructive way to just forget your terrible life for a while.

I play videogames at work.
I'm the IT guy and my department has nothing blocked.

For the record, I'm homeless, I live in my Van.

The majority of homeless are not homeless for long, the ones stuck in that state tend to be the ones that are too far gone or just crazy to begin with. The vast majority of homeless are just dudes who have to temporarily tough it out until they've saved enough to afford something and bump themselves back up to Poorfag.

Besides cellphones are affordable and they last long enough a bum can afford to get one.

Lots of pirating.

Homeless people killing companies confirmed.

Holy shit this is some top tier cancer. Who let you in?

You need to be online to download the games, you dumb bitch. Most PC games don't even have physical copies, and you're probably going to be pirating stuff anyway if you're homeless.

Kill yourself

I can only imagine OP either ran into someone online who claimed to be homeless, or saw a homeless man sitting in the street with a laptop and headset

first one is plausable, second not likely at all since homeless people cannot get laptops so easily and even if they could they would pawn them asap

I never said he had to actually be playing on it or that it even had to be functional, just that he may have been sitting on the sidewalk with it

It's not too late, user! You could kill yourself at any time.

That's dumb

At the library.

This is why mmos are shit and I refuse to play any online games, I obviously have internet but I refuse to support a retarded company that pushes this "everyone should have internet by now ideal."

...

Sometimes gaming is a job, old man.

...

...

Down by the river?

Yeah, like draining sanity and soul crushing depression.

I want to believe this is what the near future of vidya will look like, Holla Forums.

...

Bravo.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL

That's fucking hot. Wish the cock was uncut though.

Why do tumblr gifs always look like shit and all use the same retarded font for subtitles ?

I live in a Subaru.

The font is the Netflix font, I think.
The reason the gifs are so shit is because they have to be within 80 frames, 500 pixels and under 1MB.
If you've ever worked with gifs before you'd know they exceed 1MB very easily, so that 80 frame limit is basically null.

You can afford a house, Greg.

don't even make it a gif then, it adds nothing.

Ha ha it's so weird seeing gachi people actually do gay stuff because you're used to seeing them from gachi videos you forget that they do g4p videos.

I watched one of Birrys films on YT with the pornographic parts cut out.

user Im sorry to tell you, you are a faggot

Please remove him, Pence.
Please.

That's rad as fuck

...

It's more that homeless people probably don't have computers and there's not many places that will let you use their computers but don't have internet access.

Yeah, but then I'd have less money for videogames, dummy.

Damn… is this common in the usa..?

How do you do it man…?

Some people pay to use booths in a manga/internet cafe because it turns out to be cheaper than renting an apartment.

Being the head of IT is like a free pass to shitpost publicly.

You just made me think of a homeless youtube e-celeb who makes his money playing video games with a facecam.

...

I think thats pretty low in their list of priorities user

Suffering is living on a road that serves as the border between municipalities. Because you're at the edges you're always the last to get infrastructure upgrades, and each municipality assumes the other is plowing your road.
I'd start a petition with my neighbours if I wasn't considering just leaving the country altogether.
