Lag…you don’t know lad till you tried playing Quake online from New Zealand (that place that is often left off maps)…in the late 90’s.
I scoff at your 200ms ping, try 4500ms (on a good day); that is right, you spot turn and shoot. Three and a half seconds later you die; because you shot at empty space and someone saw you.
My first attempt at online gaming was 90s. Tried playing counter strike using a 56k dialup. My dumb child ass was waiting for it to load. Every 2 minutes it would refresh and the screen would fill up with text of who killed me.
