It's just a massage what's gay about that I don't get it. Just guys being dudes.

In my experience, the Shield's stuff has always been better than Steam Link's.

Awesome thanks, one last follow up - for the purposes of streaming games only, is there any reason to get the Shield TV Pro over the regular Shield TV??

e: All I see is a lil more GPU memory and 16g onboard storage instead of 8g

I have no idea if this streaming thing is going to use the onboard GPU or not, if having a better one will improve lag/image?

This is really petty and stupid but the thought of a CHUD getting locked into a gay sex scene on accident is so funny to me that I had to sit down

The onboard gpu is to get the video stream to your tv, your PC's video card is doing most of the work

This reminded me of a review from last month:

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dear-cd-projekt-red-sorry-i-made-you-watch-a-cyberpunk-2077-sex-scene-with-me/1100-6484602/ posted:

Posing as a customer to get inside and find some information, I signed up. After I chose a safe word (uh-oh), the system picked a male and a female doll for me, Angel and Skye, and showed portraits of each. When the clerk asked which I would like, I immediately forgot which name applied to which person. I picked Angel and found myself in a small room and a pink-haired man who invited me to sit on the bed.

I feel like this game is going to get anti-trans people raging more. At some point one of these assholes is going to find themselves attracted an NPC then find out that NPC has a dick and they are going to flip their poo poo.

This requires archives to read, so to summarize:

1) New Vegas has a perk that only male characters can pick called "Confirmed Bachelor" (an old-timey euphemism for a gay man) that promises "unique" dialog options with male NPCs.
2) A goon picked it thinking it meant you were a super macho dude bro who is totally straight and out to bang all the the skanky hos you could get
3) Goon is shocked to realize it meant you were gay even though the icon for the perk is a dude rubbing down another dude who has a heart drawn over his head

Looking forward to reviews by people who had very little time to play the game and who won�t have the benefit of the day one patch that will probably fix a lot of issues they encountered.

Don't expect a ton of reviews, only some people actually got a code to do reviews with so it will be far less than the norm.

I do find the Confirmed Bachelor perk a bit weird since it also increases your damage against men. The mixing of violence and sexual attraction in a single perk is a bit icky.

PC gaming sure has come a long way since I last had a gaming computer.

Will my <random string of 3 letters and 3-4 numbers> GPU be able to run this on low settings?
Should I use my keyboard or joystick and trackball to play?
Should I buy this from GOG, Steam, or Walmart?
How do I plug my computer into a TV?

I have an Xbox 1 X and no plans to get the new one, so I am going to just play the game and accept that only one building and one NPC will be viewable at any given time at 30fps.

On the other hand all this hand wringing on how best to ~experience the game~ could be over in an instant if CDPR would just

release the game, you cowards!
