The Most Physical Network Topology
The apartment building networking topology we never asked for but definitely deserved. Three gamers locked in an epic battle, visible through their windows at night – one with a headset strategizing, another grinding away at their desk setup, and the third looking like he just rage-quit so hard he needed a bandage. This is what happens when you take "local area network" too literally. The ping must be amazing though – just open your window and shout "LAG!" instead of typing it. Next-level physical topology that even Cisco didn't think to document.

The fact they've already canceled one download attempt is the digital equivalent of waving a white flag. Trying to game with this internet is like trying to win Formula 1 with a tricycle.
