Dial-Up internet. Unfortunately, it's still here because the ISPs continue to fail to deliver on the promise of expanding broadband over and over.

And because of that, it's no wonder internet isn't expanded to everywhere in the country of USA.

As someone who still plays a lot of 2000s and early 2010s video games, The 'piss filter' can stay in the past. And I go out of my way to disable it anytime I can.

For anyone who doesn't know, look up gameplay of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) and noticed the heavy yellow tint over the entire screen. So many games from around that era of gaming had heavy handed colour filters. Not always piss yellow but that was a popular one.
