Kanos posted:In a theoretical world where Stadia was actually a gigantic smashing success that dominated the console market somehow, you'd probably see a concerted effort to get these kinds of things off the ground, I suppose. Exactly. I'm sure general apathy to Stadia as a platform is a bigger hurdle to the development of cheats than any technical issues. It may or may not be possible. I just doubt anyone competent would care enough to try.

Frame rate is purely gameplay over graphics. Every increase in frame rate comes at the cost of fancier graphical effects. Gaming seniors should understand that because SNES games would often hit 60 FPS without much of an issue.

Cheese, an arcade, and instead of playing games with his kid, he brought his own gaming system and hosed off by himself. I imagine the library was also a "go look at books, dad's gotta game" scenario

The “Im playing on X and it runs FLAWLESSLY” posts have gotten downright absurd. I saw one claim it was PERFECT on a 6mbps connection. I’m playing over two cups on a string and it’s running perfectly, zero input lag.

Isn't it the only halfway-plausible pitch that the marketers could come up with given the constraints they're under? Nearly every other element of this astroturfing campaign is better answered by "just buy a goddamned Switch already", and the only way to dodge that obvious conclusion is by adding in the condition of "well what if I hate/fear my wife and can't stomach a discussion about buying video game hardware she might actually see?" It's the secret sauce to their marketing campaign, and kudos to the marketers who correctly recognized the only niche that Stadia actually appeals to.

Even with that logic the proper response is still “just buy a switch idiot” Well if you play it on TV, I suppose a Chromecast is easier to hide out of sight than a docked Switch, and if your wife ever does spot it you can play it off as a streaming video device instead of a gaming device. If you just play on a computer, in theory there's no extra hardware you have to buy. Of course they'll both be visible if you want to play it in public over the definitely-reliable wifi provided at a Charles Edward Cheese location, but if you're the kind of dude to ignore your family at the arcade/restaurant while you do a Destiny 2 raid, I'm guessing the inability to have a reasonable discussion with your wife about hobbies is linked to an inability to have a reasonable discussion about money, and then it's about being seen with a controller that you can plausibly claim "only cost $30 or so", rather than a $300 console.

The lack of critical thinking that leads someone buy and then cheerlead for a Stadia on Reddit is probably really similar to people who make terrible relationship decisions and then talk about them on r/relationships. I think these terrible posts are completely believable when you consider the impaired decision making you’d have to have to buy a Stadia let alone cheerlead it. Edit: Just pick a few of the first posts you see and check their post history to see what I mean. Here are a few I checked today: Poster 1: Wall of Cryptocurrency theory crafting Poster 2: Magic the Gathering, World of Tanks, Atheism Poster 3: Runescape, really dumb tech questions Poster 4: Anthem, Nvidia (can’t stop masturbating about ray tracing) and video game porn Poster 5: ForeverAlone (with super Yikes posts), the reddit version of those Indian porn Facebook groups, and lots of other reddit porn posts Poster 6: Incel, MRA, Flat Earther, says only poor people hate stadia, porn subreddits, horrible misogynist They are not well adjusted people.

Galgun 2, the game where you wander a high school and blast all the girls with Orgasm Beams, has a button called “Panic” that quickly transforms it into a wholesome Famicom Disk System adventure. We can all learn from Galgun 2

I will buy and hide my PS5 among all the other consoles I have. My wife is not tech savvy enough to distinguish between them, so it's easy. (As long as she can play Beat Saber, Star Wars Kinect and Uncharted, then she's happy as a clam...)

leftist heap posted:All the Dadia posts also complain about lack of time which like... I don't know how Stadia helps with that. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Stadia is not making it easier for you to play. For what you gain by not having to patch (nevermind that all consoles have automatic patching) / install your game, you lose on having to boot it up from scratch every time (seriously go look how long it can take to boot up a game with all those annoying credits/titles). If you play mainly one game at a time (at least per console) your ps4/switch/Xbox can bring you back to your saved state in the middle of the game from rest mode in less than a minute. Also as mentioned, stadia will happily kick you off after 15 minutes of inactivity. So enjoy losing progress if you stayed away too long, something that doesn't happen with all other platforms. So the way I see it, Stadia gives you time savings on the initial install/patching (hope to God that stadia updated the build on the server) but you lose time due to the lack of a proper rest mode and you cannot simply pause and come back after 15 minutes.
