Carries entire homelab onto plane so who's up for a LAN party? I'm hosting.

You joke, but I have absolutely created an ad-hoc wireless network and gamed with people I'm traveling with on a flight before.

I played splinter cell chaos theory coop with some random on my steamdeck on a transatlantic flight a few months ago. Can highly recommend!

Damn, I really wanna try this now. Halo 1 pvp on a flight with anyone who I can give a USB stick? Would take me back to high school

[–] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Hell yeah. Halo Custom Edition will run on a potato. We played it in highschool off of flash drives on Pentium 4HT desktops with integrated graphics.

Eh. At least it looks like it's daytime. If it were on a redeye, I'd vote to push him out the nearest hatch.

I never recline my seat, but if I was sitting infront of that guy I would move it down for a bit. Then up again. Then down again. Etc for however long the flight is

Seriously. What a fucking ridiculous "problem". The photos in this article are absurd.
