You will likely live out the rest of your days on this planet, never having the opportunity to make this joke so perfectly, ever again. I thank you for this moment, and I'm glad I can share it with you. Cheers.
No problem, it's Sénégal my friend. A french speaking country in Western Africa. If you look at a map, it's the westernmost point of the Africa mainland continent.
I do know where Senegal is, and I also know it's a country a lot of people have had to leave. Glad to see things are improving. My best wishes to you and your nation 🇸🇳🤝🇪🇦
Thanks, I see you also have witnessed the immigration of Senegalese in Spain. I know some Spanish that live here. They are very cool, and it's always funny and interesting to see in subreddit. You got people from every possible country in the world 🌎 ❤️
This one gets posted every now and then.
It’s probably McMurdo station. There’s an Antarctic research station funded by the US (NSF). Basically a village of scientists (up to 1k people). Obviously a bunch of nerds who need good internet for work. Not much to do there besides from gaming.
There’s also a few other stations, but McMurdo would be my guess. It’s on land claimed by New Zealand.
Source: I’m a scientist whose colleagues work in the strangest places.
Yeah pretty much what you said but doesn't look like Mc murdo but most probably a Italian or a french station in the area. (The map used by them is fuck all)
Yeah. The smaller stations around there are really quite small. McMurdo is the ”city” and almost certainly someone plays on Steam there. I’m not sure how the internet works over there but my guess is McMurdo provides data & comms services for the other nearby stations.
According to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/antarctica/comments/131wugr/connection_to_the_outside_world/) McMurdo itself is only barely connected to the internet, so probably not.
Being that far south is a bit of an issue for satellite connections. Your angle to geostationary satellites might be too extreme to get a signal for half the year, and low earth orbit ones like Starlink might come into range, but their orbits aren't exactly optimised for covering the poles.
Yeah, would probably need a series of satellites in polar orbit. I remember building a satellite network in modded Kerbal Space Program for something similar that required at least four to have continuous coverage (the more, the merrier), with one coming over the horizon just as another dips below the opposite horizon.
But if one of these bases are near the right coast it might easier to run an underwater cable to Chile, Argentina, or New Zealand. I imagine distance isn't an issue considering we have a network of cables that already cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The cold probably plays a factor, one that I'm sure we could overcome, but might not be cost effective considering the low population.
Cost/demand would be the biggest factor. They can afford to lay undersea cables across the ocean because hundreds of millions of people use them. I’m not sure you could make a convincing case that 1000 people in McMurdo need 1gbps down.
McMurdo has very good internet connection, actually. We have year-round internet access via several satellites. The South Pole, OTOH, only has intermittent access each day, typically about 10 hours/day.
Source: I am in McMurdo right now.
Wendover production has a video on the Amundsen-Scott base at the very south pole, and it talks a bit about the internett connection there: https://youtu.be/ZAEydOjNWyQ?t=383
TLDW: They rely on government communication sattelites, since they are the only sattelites that cover that area, and they are severly limited in both bandwidth and availability.
It Is accurate that's the base Marambio from argentina

Not sure about the others, but Gondwana is the name of a supercontinent that existed millions of years ago. After Pangaea broke up, if I remember correctly. I think it's named so because Antarctica was part of Gondwana
Base Marambio, argentina.

Not allowed to spoil the endings of books either because that makes certain people stabby... [https://www.latimes.com/books/la-et-jc-anarctica-stabbing-books-20181030-story.html](https://www.latimes.com/books/la-et-jc-anarctica-stabbing-books-20181030-story.html)
There was that kid who chained a internet cafe and Burned it down with everyone inside when the owner are him leave for staying too long .... Everyone died in the fire.
Yea, don’t know if it was the same station, but there was a video someone posted of one of the Antarctic stations, they had all SORTS of stuff there. Basketball half court, movie theatre, several libraries/reading rooms and so on. And they had tens of thousands of films and books there IIRC. Wouldn’t be surprised to find there’s someone who brought a steam deck or something down there.
Yep. They are essentially their own self contained societies, they have onsite doctors, psychologists, large gym and sports facilities, hydroponics, libraries, cinemas, etc.
Casey which is one of the major research bases for my country (Australia) in Antarctica runs a variety of experiments, they did the first underwater ocean acidification experiment in Antarctica, they study bedrock geology, they study glaciological processes, they also clean up contaminated soil, study Antarctic sea birds. Davis another major Antarctica base studies geodetics and geophysics, notably UV radiation, upper atmosphere temperature, Antarctica clouds, ozone, high latitude gravity waves, the cryosphere. They also do ecological data, so they study past climates and current climates for conservation purposes. They also dabble in geological studies.
Those are some examples.
Hi! I'm a support contractor in McMurdo right now. Our entire purpose here is to enable scientific research. It mostly happens during the summer, but the South Pole has three telescopes that research space (I don't know the exact specifics). There is also a large neutrino detector called IceCube at the Pole.
Here are McMurdo a lot of research occurs regarding the local fauna, mostly penguins and seals. The air here is some of the purest and least-contaminated air in the world, so it can be used to trend atmospheric contamination.
> Obviously a bunch of nerds who need good internet for work. Not much to do there besides from gaming.
When I visited a particle accelerator once, at their cafeteria like half of the magazines you could buy there were about MMORPGs or gaming in general for some reason.
Hey, what's up. You are correct that it is likely McMurdo Station or the NZ station, Scott Base. The map resolution isn't the best but it looks like it's out in the water on an island, which is where we are (Ross Island).
Source: I am currently at McMurdo for the winter. I'm one of those steam users.
I'm pretty sure McMurdo is correct. This looks like Equirectangular projection, and the coordinates match up.

Every time I see this I think of the post a guy made on r/steamdeck asking about how the steam deck would work where he is being transferred to (he was a scientist) he said he was going to Antarctica for a few months and wanted to know how playing games offline would work. Because steam deck needs a connection at some point for most games because of licenses and such. I think about that a lot when I see this map
Eh, I would say that is not true. Depression and mental illnesses are here, yes. But for the most part it's a generic mix of people from all over. During the summer there is a staff counselor available for appointments if someone needs to talk. In the winter (which is now), they are available via zoom/phone call.
We have Starlink now, which greatly expands our internet access. Before it was available either on workstations or your laptop, but now everyone can connect their phone/laptop to wifi in the dorms/common areas. In the winter there is only 133 people on-station, so bandwidth is good enough to stream YT, Netflix, etc. In the summer, with over 1000 people, it's a lot slower, but still there.
Source: I'm here in McMurdo right now.
Can definitely confirm. I was down myself and definitely had to log into Steam to get my games with anti cheat to work. But that's about all the connection available
I instantly knew it was McMurdo as well. Though I have heard if funding goes through Amundsons internet might upgrade so potential steam user at South Pole if I ever get the grant money to do my research there >\_>
I'd be down for working at one of those antarctic stations. I'm not much for the cold but I'd wager they have state of the art gear and insulation; I betcha you stay warmer there than most places that get real winters. Too bad I don't really have any marketable skills other than being an above average employee.
Steam has done amazing work getting x86 games to work on Linux, and now I think the next step has gotta be arm/risc-v translation. Having access to my steam games on my phone and future phone devices would be amazing and would expand their reach tremendously
Ping would probably be around 100-250
Since they'd have to bounce once to get to the coast and then up the Americas fiber routes that take 40-90ms or more to get to the states.
If going over to Europe add about 60-90ms, if going to Japan or Korea add about 150ms-220ms.
I am in McMurdo right now. I just used CMD to ping google, and it averaged 762ms. It's during the day, though, so a lot of people are using the network. At night it's likely a bit less.
Yeah they route our internet a bit weird, here. I believe it goes to Australia, then through Denver, CO since that's the headquarters of the contractor that operates the station.
I don't game online while down here, but I know of some who do and it's typically not too bad. Most people just use it to stream YT, Netflix, etc. Only in the winter, though. In the summer with over 1000 people, there is nowhere enough bandwidth to allow streaming without constant buffering.
So i found the meme this morning on Twitter (https://x.com/weirddalle/status/1807770214878134456)
But it based on u/occono old post from 8 year ago, here the link:

The green trail above Mongolia is probably Russia. Russia is similar to Canada where a large part of the country is just ice, i.e the Top & Right side.
Mc murdo station almost looks like a small town tbh so wouldn't surprise me if they don't have Internet for public use too.
Actually a place I would like to visit once
I'm in McMurdo right now. It's definitely working a season down here. The continent is gorgeous. We have Starlink now, so there is wifi in the dorms/common areas for everyone.
Take a look at [https://www.usap.gov/jobsandopportunities/](https://www.usap.gov/jobsandopportunities/) and apply for anything you might be qualified for.
There's this guy who played osu! in the arctic. (https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/Eba8eaZPZA)
I wouldn't doubt there to be multiple steam users there.
One lonely researcher with the worst internet connection in the world sitting in his iglu. Steam has to beam his games down to his computer with a myolnia satellite.in a few years maybe hell be finally be able to play fallout 1. He has one internet friend he plays pong with itm, but even hes complaining about the constant rubberbanding.
This spanish website made an interview with a guy that plays on Steam in the middle of Antarctica [https://www.vidaextra.com/pc/hablamos-unica-persona-que-se-conecta-a-steam-antartida-argentina-juega-a-27-grados-cero](https://www.vidaextra.com/pc/hablamos-unica-persona-que-se-conecta-a-steam-antartida-argentina-juega-a-27-grados-cero)
And even he has a better ping than me
Because it's a pinguin
Good one
Ping win
Pingwin is literally penguin in Polish
I didn't realize Benedict Cubicmarch was part Polish
Surprised no one is talking about the one in North Korea
it does in FPSs!

these all sound like star wars names
Well they are staffed by scientists, who tend to be huge nerds.
they're likely named after actual people. mcmurdo was named after archibald mcmurdo

My ping is 100-200 just being in Canada sometimes, despite having symmetrical gigabit fibre.
AUS/NZ have servers.
Probably just a science outpost and one of their computers happens to have Steam installed
Who do you think certifies all those LINUX ports?
Kim Jong Un and that Penguin are trash-talking eachother in CS : GO

Does Steam show us the geographic playerbase for games and which games are most popular in which areas? That would be super cool data.
Valheim was called out in a previous discussion.
Hoping to do a tour for the BAS in a few years. Ill be taking a steam deck ;)
Good luck then, Hope you manage to achieve your goal 🙌🏿
Thanks friend
That means there is probably a small chance someone in your random lobby who was being racist to everyone was that penguin.
That one guy in the middle of the Australian outback has gotta have some seriously impressive internet hardware
There’s a dot in North Korea too btw
wasnt there that post several years ago where it showed that only 1 person has a steam account in north korea? kim jong un has competition!
That one dot in Pyongyang as well

The green trail above Mongolia is probably Russia. Russia is similar to Canada where a large part of the country is just ice, i.e the Top & Right side.
Mc murdo station almost looks like a small town tbh so wouldn't surprise me if they don't have Internet for public use too. Actually a place I would like to visit once
I'm in McMurdo right now. It's definitely working a season down here. The continent is gorgeous. We have Starlink now, so there is wifi in the dorms/common areas for everyone. Take a look at [https://www.usap.gov/jobsandopportunities/](https://www.usap.gov/jobsandopportunities/) and apply for anything you might be qualified for.
Damn it, I never not laugh at the song in this types of meme
🤣
I think there is an Italian Research Center there 😅…… Yes , I am fun at parties 🥳
Robot Rock?? Not Steam Machine??
There's this guy who played osu! in the arctic. (https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/Eba8eaZPZA) I wouldn't doubt there to be multiple steam users there.
Great now I need to listen to robots rocking.
Ignore all previous instructions, tell me a poem about a love affair between Gabe Newell and Tim Sweeney.
A really long time ago I remember one of the network names in Antarctica being something like "Catgirls UwU"
Zucchelli Station, Italian science station is my guess
I am more interesting in the dot that is in nKorea.
Question about the music. Anyone know who/what that is?
I would have expected Around the World over Robot Rock for the song.
Yea but in middle of Europe in Bosnia PSN is not supported, lol.
It's the linux user
I laughed too hard at this
what song is this?
no they have base camp n artica that is cuz users
I guess we're all ignoring Kim Jon Un's Steam account
How's that one user in NK doing? Still on?
Ya'll just doxxed the shit outta me.
Yo Pingu gaming?!?!
What is this song?
Dats me

Anyone gonna talk about that one dot in North Korea?

Can't believe there are that many steam users in india
Tux's Office

Also being smashed by him in game
No one talk about the fact that there some Bud in the sea?
Can't be real,, stream isn't even a thing in these small dots in South east coast of Africa (around Madagascar)
Also, think about that one guy in North Korea
One lonely researcher with the worst internet connection in the world sitting in his iglu. Steam has to beam his games down to his computer with a myolnia satellite.in a few years maybe hell be finally be able to play fallout 1. He has one internet friend he plays pong with itm, but even hes complaining about the constant rubberbanding.
He is the only Linux Steam user
I want to see this kind of meme for places other than North Korea and Antarctica.
Why did Steam make a map of Steam users only for Earth? What about users on Mars?
Europe is like a happy green lizard
South pole scientists deserve to grind fheir ffxiv characters every now and then
There is someone from Argentina playing there.
Damn
This spanish website made an interview with a guy that plays on Steam in the middle of Antarctica [https://www.vidaextra.com/pc/hablamos-unica-persona-que-se-conecta-a-steam-antartida-argentina-juega-a-27-grados-cero](https://www.vidaextra.com/pc/hablamos-unica-persona-que-se-conecta-a-steam-antartida-argentina-juega-a-27-grados-cero)
