In 2025 it's hard to believe that would be CPU limited. My CPU never spikes during a download/update. Drive performance seems a more likely bottleneck - decompression is a write, a read, and a write again. Then that data needs to go into a of number of different places so is random not sequential

edit: I just noticed yours is just an update. Yeah, it's doing more than a download and it's writing a bunch of random data. Steam is also like this but more helpfully now has two separate progress bars for download and install.

Is your PC busy with some other tasks perhaps? Mine ramped up to the 800 Mbps (100 MB/s) range at max and stayed between 700-800 as it went. I'm not sure if this is a sequential download or not but if it's doing any sort of decompressing, writing, etc., while it works then those can impact perf.

Seattle is in America, where Nintendo owned the team he played for, that released multiple games starring Griffey. You don’t think anyone made that association? You don’t seem aware of the history nor did you read the article. Based on the games you did mention this all happened after your time

We’ve had 4 car trains in operation for ages now. At least since Lynnwood opened and some time prior but I don’t think as far back as Northgate opening. 4 cars is the whole platform.

I think you meant writer not publisher. Publisher wouldn’t really apply here but the closest analog would be the website not an individual contributor.

Nu-metal wasn’t kinda weird? Granted that only moves things a few years further and I agree with the overall point. Nu-metal has had a nostalgia-based comeback the last few years so fits the concept
