LOL, SO true. But at least he's A source. Sadly, we don't have Claudius' history of the Julii but we think maybe Seutonius drew from it? Some modicum of truth is better than a vacuum.

The whole war with Poseidon (who is a GREEK god) and collecting the seashells as trophies probably comes from misunderstanding and specifically the Excellent (though wildly inaccurate) TV series I, Claudius or the book that inspired it.

Depends on the hotel's setup, really. I've seen places in NC do just fine. I've done plenty of travel as a GF Now founding member and the only bad experiences are :

- Mom and pop places that had a high school kid do their set up
- Old hotels where the brickwork interfered with signal
- Being around the world from the closest endpoint

None of these were issues for non-twitch gaming. And yeah, I can play Cyberpunk with raytracing on an iPad if I want to.
