I have Hughesnet. Whenever I do something it says it's moving at about 3.3 kb/s though recently that's been less.

Do I even want to know what Hughesnet is?

Ever read the bible? It's in there under the old name: Hell.

It's serviceable but... Just barely. Not the 50 times faster than dial-up they were claiming and Dial-up was more reliable in its slowness.

Hughesnet is a tease. It does whatever it wants.

That sounds beyond horrendous. I honestly would go crazy if I lived in a place where that was the only option. I do get why it's the only option in some places (although considering where I live imagining still having to use Dial-up, which I did when I was younger would drive me mad Dial-Up intself drove me mad what you're describing would probably make me punch a hole in the screen.) Although to be fair I'm quite spoiled by my internet.

I'm Zacen299 and I like to make Nerjin feel inferior through both internet connection AND team powerfullness but I'd never say it outright.

But in all seriousness it is pretty bad. It fulfills its purpose, though if I had another option I would take it.

I'd argue with that quote but DAMN it's true... and honestly I do feel sympathy for you (and not the sarcastic kind) for having to deal with that crap (The Hughesnet not my insanity that's a whole nother bag of worms to be getting into).

I've seen a rare few claim sanity although in my opinion that just makes them more insane.

I am under the belief that everyone on the planet is insane, except for the ones who recognize their insanity, making them sane.

This belief makes Bay12 the sanest place on the planet, from my point of view.

I totally get what you're saying and I have noticed such things. It does really show when we have discussions on here and sometimes we end up making arguments that make perfect sense and yet no one anywhere else has ever realized it before. It just so happens that (sometimes) the best way to handle things is to throw a bunch of people who know how insane they are into a room together and see what they come up with.

Can you just imagine the politics of the world if this were true?  At very least things would be interesting.

Also, it seems your personal text could fit in perfectly at the end of your post.  (In most people's opinion.)

Not sane, per se, but less insane than you guys, which makes me relatively sane.

The Team had a dull turn. Aside from Tank, that seems to be fairly common.

Really I should've seen that coming. Goddamnit why can't he take the damage a normal JRPG character takes (which is give or take several nukes for the stronger attacks) stupid Tank and it's smashy power. (I should point out that that was sarcasm)
