I have used Copyparty on my LAN (with nginx as a reverse proxy), and remember it being fast enough to saturate a gigabit connection. I would probably believe the numbers quoted here: https://github.com/9001/copyparty?tab=readme-ov-file#reverse-proxy-performance

I dislike this for so many reasons, but I laughed out loud which means I am legally obligated to upvote

Not HTTPS necessarily, but lots use TLS over 443. If you are sending something like login credentials to an online service, it makes sense for the servers to use what is universally available instead of reinventing the wheel. Also, some games may use a launcher that uses HTTPS if they are web-based in some fashion, or maybe the game will use it for certain kinds of API calls unrelated to actual gameplay.

If you are playing a game that uses a dedicated server (or just isn’t a competitive game at all), then TLS usage is probably unlikely, but those games aren’t lucrative for the account boosting/currency farming that makes cheating so rampant in China anyway.

Even signing up for some games requires you to create an account on their website first.

Maybe all 3 of you can come to an agreement somehow?

And everyone in between🥰🥰🥰

Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

It’s the US, so more weapons I presume.

Saw midwest.social, was not disappointed

Gonna preface this by saying this is not my worst, or really even a bad experience. We were in a 69 with her on top. I was getting into it and wrapped my arms around her waist, squeezing her down on me. This was just the right amount of pressure to squeak a little fart out of her, which made me giggle while still firmly planting my face in the fun zone. The sensation of me giggling made her tense up, ripping a fat one right in my face. I pulled my face away so I could laugh harder, but that made me gasp through my mouth, and I cough while yelling “OH GOD IT’S IN MY MOUTH!” We are both dying from laughing so hard, but a moment later she suddenly says “LET ME UP” in a really panicked tone and runs to the bathroom. I sat up so I could ask if she was OK, and felt a drip from my beard. I said “wow babe you left me a little treat, you were really wet!” She screams through the door “OH MY GOD DON’T LICK THAT!” She had laughed so hard that she peed on my face.
