The worst thing about interstellar travel: no internet

Two possible solutions:

  1. No interstellar travel
  2. Selfhost everything

I once tried to set up a LAN game of Halo, and let me tell you I'm resigned to staying on earth.

Earth is a massive obstacle to network communication. Move to an o’neill cylinder and never have latency again

Are you suggesting I lead humanity into a golden interstellar post-scarcity future so that I can play halo without lag?

The best way to play Halo without lag is to make contact with the Covenant. So yeah, to space!

Buddy can you imagine all the new alien pron in the new system though?
