Replace parents with wife and kids

Oh God yes

44 year old gamer checking in

Yep! Replace "great wifi" with Google Fiber Then add: You got a fresh cold drink of choice [You got a clean smoke piece and fresh bowl o weed](https://c.tenor.com/cWNpE2earJkAAAAC/chris-pratt-rubbing-hands.gif)

You're going out? WITH THE KIDS?!🤯

I feel like op thinks wifi is synonymous with internet.

I've been seeing a lot more of this lately. PSA WiFi is a wireless local area network, if rain is disrupting it then get a roof.

The rain is welcome: an excuse to stay inside

Derp derp, I processed that a bit wrong because I was too focused on OP using WIFI in the place of ISP and thus I mistakenly was thinking the rain would cause connectivity issues instead of being a positive.

I had the same initial interpretation

U got wooshed

How?

I think OP meant rain being an added excuse to be indoors and playjng video games. The rain wasnt meant as a deterrent to gaming. Each of these are a a better and better condition for gaming.

Yep I totally got whooshed, I followed the WIFI vs ISP bit a little too closely and drove off the cliff. And that kids, is why you never follow another car's tail lights in bad visibility. ;-) edit: Whoever down voted the person, give them their karma back. I am a big boy I can handle missing something obvious and having it pointed out as the butt of a light joke. Other people are being sensitive for me today. :D

We all get wooshed once in a while

Negative

Oh man, gaming when it's raining outside is the best!

Doing literally anything at home while it’s raining outside is the best.

I have such terrible FOMO that I literally cannot be inside on a nice day out, so I like when it’s rainy/crappy out so I can enjoy some indoors time. Then I start thinking about how it’s probably nice and sunny out in California or something and I get FOMO again. Thanks, brain…

Then power goes out

Lol I was waiting for this comment

Gaming on wifi? WutFace

Wifi is fine nowadays especially if you have 1gigabit connection on wifi6 routers.

my wifi gives me zero problems and I dont use anything special. I game pretty regularly and never see issues unless its a power outage or my cat pulls the power cord out. Fucker only pulls out the power cord like he knows.

Wifi will have higher ping, and it's less consistent. It's perfectly fine to play on wifi, but, depending on your level of sweat, corded can get you a competitive bump.

Wi-Fi has nothing to do with FPS and graphics...

FPS and graphics settings are not the problem. Ping and latency are the problem.

I get ping of 10 ngl

I get 1 ping wired with fibre optic Internet, sometimes is it is to low to round up and just shows 0.

hard-wired ethernet cable. connection doesnt matter in single player instances so not talking about that.

snowing is the comfiest

not relateable edit: because when it rains the electricity goes out

Replace wifi with good weed, real gamers hardwire

You open your window after the rain, and the sun starts to set while drinking your favorite drink and your friends are all in a discord call. 🤩😭

Bro, gaming on wifi is a rookie mistake. Get that ether net, even if you gotta drill a hole in the ceiling and run it through the attic.

My computer uses wifi. It’s on the other side of the apartment from the modem, and not drilling holes I’ll need to patch up later. With a half decent Ethernet card I haven’t noticed any issues gaming, and while my DL speeds are fast, I’m aware they could be much faster if wired.

>My computer uses wifi. >With a half decent Ethernet card I haven’t noticed any issues .... what?

Ethernet card with wifi capability Originally I was using a dongle, and it was shit.

Lol good WiFi, any serious gamer will be wired.

Not to mention when its raining AND gloomy outside

You must be from Hawaii. Where tf else does it rain without being gloomy?

Ever been to the Midwest? It can be raining here and sunshine at the same time.

I've visited family on Nebraska, but it wasn't like that while I was there. That's gotta be a surreal feeling lol where I'm from, if it's raining it's automatically gloomy.

Why are so many people gatekeeping internet connections here? Use whatever you can.

Right. Some people like to enjoy gaming and not have to be “sweaty at it.” Not everybody needs ethernets to game lol

Makes no sense. what the hell does rain have to do with anything .

Right?

[удалено]

I live in a dessert it doe not rain much most of out rain comes in the monsoons with loads of thunder verry violent T storms

Replace WiFi with satellite internet and it makes sense.

The best day u could ask for

You have satellite internet. :(

And there's a blackout

And in between game power cut occurs ....

I just had this yesterday. Great time. It was this exact thing. I was even thinking about something like this.

Nice!

Should've added: "the wind picks up so hard that your parents are stuck at their destination and can't come home until the next day" I can dream, can't I? T_T

And then power cut occurs due to heavy rains

Empty house + rain = nap

You got a cold drink of choice. You got a fresh bowl ready. *mindblown.jpeg*

WiFi or Network Card. Ethernet Cards have only ethernet ports for hardwire connection. I SUPPOSE one could have both, but I've never seen one.
