[reef storm]

Nope

[winter yew]

No, the Google thing.

[reef storm]

Google.

[meager panther]

It will literally open up every device these days

[austere lance]

Ah. Xbox is doing it too

Halo 5 with touchscreen controls is weird

So is Forza

[meager panther]

You can use controller

[austere lance]

Yee

[reef storm]

Tequila Works might be the best dev studio name ever.

[meager panther]

Lol

[inland grail]

DAMN

[austere lance]

xCloud

[inland grail]

[reef storm]

Thats trippy

[inland grail]

indeed

[gaunt hare]

Cool

[inland grail]

imagine nms running on sitra

Fuck

[reef storm]

Dude....

[inland grail]

Stadia

[austere lance]

Why did Google decide to do an xCloud thing too

[inland grail]

why not ?

[austere lance]

Idk

[gaunt hare]

Because they control the biggest cloud

[winter yew]

Gaming is the largest and highest earning form of entertainment globally.

Snooze you lose.

[brittle creek]

stadia more like

[inland grail]

damn they are realy going for it

[gaunt hare]

Corporate tunes

[brittle creek]

geforcenow

[reef storm]

Not quite.

[brittle creek]

okay

its kinda cool

but i'm not a fan of game streaming as a replacement for consoles or PC

[gaunt hare]

Same

[reef storm]

State share seems interesting.

[winter yew]

Hmmmm

[inland grail]

interesting

we know about xcloud

later ok

dont need to spam the shit out of it

[austere lance]

What's the difference between it and the Google thing

[inland grail]

google has more power

[brittle creek]

it seems to be more powerful and availible

remember when crackdown 3 was gonna take advantage of the xcloud

[inland grail]

LOL

[gaunt hare]

You're bad at your job!

[reef storm]

[uncut bramble]

https://store.google.com/magazine/stadia

is online now

[gaunt hare]

I'm not seeing any movement!

[austere lance]

Kinda surprised YouTube hasn't tried a gaming platform yet, lol

[inland grail]

Matpat

[gaunt hare]

They are right now

Google owns YouTube

[brittle creek]

sean murray walks out

[inland grail]

and that an advantage for google

[brittle creek]

"No Man's Sky Beyond is stadia exclusive"

[reef storm]

lol

[inland grail]

because they own the bigest video platform

WOAH

that cool

[uncut bramble]

Nice

[reef storm]

Welp, guess i'll start streaming on YT lol

[inland grail]

MATPAT

[gaunt hare]

This is ambitious

[reef storm]

oooh

[brittle creek]

see epic? this is how you compete!

MATPAT

[inland grail]

hey matpat

[reef storm]

Nice

[brittle creek]

OH MY GOD NO SANS

[inland grail]

Crowd Play seems interesting

[brittle creek]

the stream stuttered and it sounded like he said "imagine breathing down your neck"

[winter yew]

hahaha, it stuttered at that point for me too.

[inland grail]

Stadia could be cool

[gaunt hare]

I also had a visiual error a while ago

[inland grail]

like being able to play game everywhere

with ur lapttop or even mobile

i wonder

[brittle creek]

its gonna be cool

[inland grail]

can they make a physical console ?

[brittle creek]

but its not a replacement

they want it to be

but it won't be

[winter yew]

It's all dependant on that input lag. 🤷

[brittle creek]

miiverse

[gaunt hare]

He talks like that's huge effort xD

[inland grail]

oh

interesting

[uncut bramble]

I imagine they will make some kind of "Stream link" kind of thing, though it won't be needed.
Or just upgrade chromecast

[brittle creek]

miiverse 2

[inland grail]

How i beat a shrine in zelda

[winter yew]

"Leave the game"

Errr no

[gaunt hare]

GOOGLE IS WATCHING

[reef storm]

no secondary devices needed

That's the key

[brittle creek]

@winter yew remember they're trying to cater to the console people

pc bois be like

[reef storm]

Nah, this is more toward gaming as a whole

[brittle creek]

[reef storm]

I'm a PC guy and I'm extremely interested

[uncut bramble]

It's revoluntary for all gamers

[inland grail]

i am too

[brittle creek]

im intrested but i don't think i'll get much use out of it

[inland grail]

its interestingg

[uncut bramble]

That's why the featured Matpat too

[reef storm]

^

[winter yew]

It absolutely will shake up the gaming industry.

[reef storm]

Woooo

[brittle creek]

it'll be cool

[winter yew]

Devs won't need to worry about piracy anymore. 🤷

[brittle creek]

1st party games

[inland grail]

Jade

[uncut bramble]

It could literally be to gaming what Spotify was to music

[inland grail]

or apple music

[brittle creek]

could

[uncut bramble]

Well Spotify was before apple music but yeah

[winter yew]

If subscription is "sensible" then it could take off massively.

[inland grail]

or like netfkix

[brittle creek]

if its a subscription

[reef storm]

It'll be a sub. Don't see anything else it could be

[inland grail]

Fix ur fucking STREAM GOOGLE

[brittle creek]

considering how ambitious this whole thing is

[uncut bramble]

Yeah it has to be a sub - because of the "Play" buttons everywhere etc. "Buy" would be pain

[brittle creek]

please be sub

[meager panther]

I won't say anything till they say how much you oay

Like do I pay for the game and the service?

[uncut bramble]

I was hoping they'd talk about pricing today but I'm not convinced because there's just "sign up for more info" on the website

[meager panther]

Probably price might be a issue

[uncut bramble]

But I spend at least £100 a month on games. If it has a good library, that wouldn't be the case

[brittle creek]

MY GAMES COMING TO STADIA GUYS

okay no

[winter yew]

Plus with Googles history of shutting down popular services, "could" be hard for people to have full trust.

maybe possibly

[inland grail]

ok

coming this year

[reef storm]

HERE WE GO

okay, we figured that

GIVE ME PRICES, BALDY

[winter yew]

lmao

[inland grail]

Prices

[reef storm]

fuck you.

lol

[uncut bramble]

No prices

Bastards

[inland grail]

Fuck you yeah

[reef storm]

😛

[uncut bramble]

Now this is gonna be all anyone discusses. How much would be reasonable to pay lol

[reef storm]

I'd pay up to 20/mo

Depending on the library

[winter yew]

£9.99 a month dependant on library.

[uncut bramble]

I'd pay around £20 I think - depending on library 😂

[inland grail]

https://store.google.com/magazine/stadia

[uncut bramble]

It has to be dearer than PS Now/Xbox Game Pass -because it's that and more

[inland grail]

i mean i have a switch

and take it anywhere

so why this

[uncut bramble]

Can your switch play 4K 60FPS? 😏

[inland grail]

what if i dont need to play 4K 60fps

[winter yew]

Xbox game pass is greatest value for money right now.

[uncut bramble]

Then you don't need this

[inland grail]

what if i DONT wanth

[uncut bramble]

Then don't get it?

😂

It's optional my dude

[brittle creek]

okay thats kinda cool

[inland grail]

i mean i prefer having something physic

[uncut bramble]

Then this won't be for you right now. It might be one day though

[brittle creek]

depends on how they launch it

[winter yew]

They said it auto scaled.

Similar to Youtube I guess

[reef storm]

I'm thinking as far as sub, it might work like a payscale thing - so much per month = access to this many games

[uncut bramble]

Like redbox or something

[reef storm]

Yeah

[uncut bramble]

Like a rental service - makes sense

That way you aren't just accessing "all the games" and abusing the shit out of it

[reef storm]

Exactly

[uncut bramble]

BUT does it diminish that lovely "Play Now" button on the youtube videos

[brittle creek]

this is a good thing no matter what though, because this means competition

if stadia is a flop

[reef storm]

Maybe that "play now" button is part of one of the tiers, for instance

[uncut bramble]

Yes that's the tier I want

Thank you

😂

[reef storm]

Same

"Stadia unlimited"

[uncut bramble]

💪

[inland grail]

But fuck

[brittle creek]

i think it would be cool if

[inland grail]

10 TERAFLOPS

[reef storm]

10.7

😛

[inland grail]

like shit

[brittle creek]

you could buy individual games

[inland grail]

madness

[brittle creek]

but we had a subscription service too

[inland grail]

but i would prefer they do this

and a physical console

[meager panther]

Man they still limit it to all the expensive tiers

[uncut bramble]

For a physical console though it would just be a chromecast in a box 😛

[meager panther]

That would be kame

Lame*

[inland grail]

that not a lot

[uncut bramble]

Then just buy a chromecast

And boom

You have your physical

[inland grail]

i meant something physical like a ps4 or xbox

not a thing that a size of a dick

LOL

[uncut bramble]

🤷 I'll be glad to get rid of those boxes from my living room

[bronze wind]

that's a small dick

[uncut bramble]

But each to their own lol

[inland grail]

i was waiting more i guess

[uncut bramble]

I dunno man - surely NOT having to throw money upfront for a physical box to sit in your room is more?

[inland grail]

yes

[reef storm]

@bronze wind You would run with that lol

[uncut bramble]

They're literally giving you gaming with no upfront cost (that we know of) and no beefy box sitting there using your electric lol

[inland grail]

soo ok

a tech that has been prove for 3 decades

a tech that has not started yet

what better?

there u go

[winter yew]

Game streaming isn't new.

[bronze wind]

[uncut bramble]

But it's optional man

This is what I'm saying to you

You're talking like you're being forced into this 😂

[reef storm]

I don't think anyone is arguing console vs streaming as far as what's better

[bronze wind]

He is

[inland grail]

well we know it will replace consoles

[bronze wind]

mr. google has him at gunpoint

[uncut bramble]

We do?

I didn't see that

[reef storm]

I don't think it will

[uncut bramble]

I just seen that it's an option right now

[inland grail]

wait and see

[uncut bramble]

Not even right now

Next Gen PS and xbox are pretty much confirmed at this stage - that's at least another 5 years

[inland grail]

because cloud is the future and will give more power than the console like ps5 or xbox next

[uncut bramble]

And PCS are going nowhere

I haven't seen the PS5 specs yet so it's hard to say that for sure

[inland grail]

and ur talking on a pc....

LOL

[uncut bramble]

Yes?

[inland grail]

i think it willl be the same as stadia

[uncut bramble]

Possibly? If it works, I'm all for it!

I mean Chromebooks are practically stadia for the internet

🤷

[inland grail]

sure

[reef storm]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia

[inland grail]

i always loved the physical aspect of a console

[reef storm]

In case anyone wants to follow

[uncut bramble]

I loved CD players and radios too - infact I still have a vinyl player, but more for nostalgia.

Who even has DVD players anymore?

[reef storm]

I do

[uncut bramble]

Times are achanging 😄

[reef storm]

lol

[uncut bramble]

Do you buy for it? 👁

[reef storm]

Sometimes, yeah

[inland grail]

i meant that have it at least u can touch it

and that it feels like a console

not like usb

[uncut bramble]

I don't get what you mean, honestly. But it's a fine reservation to have

[inland grail]

i meant that i always had my life with console being physical

[reef storm]

What it all boils down to is to each their own. If you like a console, support the consoles. If you want to try streaming, go with Stadia. There's really no wrong answer here.

[inland grail]

not digital

[uncut bramble]

It's like saying you'd rather carry around 500 floppy discs than a USB pen 🤷 lol

Yeah exactly Joe

[inland grail]

something i can take in my hand

or something i will unbox for christmass

or aniversary

[uncut bramble]

It just depends what you want to embrace. 90% of my games are all digital too - I can't hold them. But they're mine. (For now)

[inland grail]

something u can hold

well im more physical

[uncut bramble]

yeah I get you, I get you 😃 It's just not my preference

[gaunt hare]

I also prefer those because I don't always have money for streaming services

[inland grail]

i like having boxart

u really think old games are digital?

some games are exclusive physical

[gaunt hare]

I prefer to buy a game and be able to play it whenever I want even if I couldn't afford the 20 bucks this month

[uncut bramble]

I don't think old games are digital at all 😂

[inland grail]

old ones

[uncut bramble]

Don't put words into my mouth haha

[inland grail]

i just meant that my chilhood and until where i am

[jagged mortar]

publishers wet dream, pay monnthly, but you dont get to own anything

[inland grail]

i always can have this console in my hand

and games too

[uncut bramble]

Yeah it's cool man - it doesn't sound like Stadia is for you right now. That's cool 😃

I dunno if it's for me yet either - though I don't mind there being no box 😄

[inland grail]

but like i said

wait and see

[winter yew]

I'm definitely waiting to see.

[jagged mortar]

what if i want to mod my single player games, what then? xD

[winter yew]

I'm gunna check it out for sure.

[iron inlet]

Debate this

YEET

[iron inlet]

Project Yeti

[uncut bramble]

If you wanna mod your SP games - you get a PC 😄

[winter yew]

Yoject Preti.

[reef storm]

yes

nap time because i'm old.

[inland grail]

umm guys

[winter yew]

Goodnight Grandpa.

[jagged mortar]

cya doc

[uncut bramble]

Bye Joe!

[inland grail]

do u have the link for sean talk livestream

[iron inlet]

Sadly not

Sorry man

[inland grail]

no problem nyx

didnt u had another logo before ?

[jagged mortar]

yeet stadia can and should replace all consoles, but leave my pc modding alone please

[reef storm]

IDK if that one will be streamed or not since it's more of a talk than an announcement

[inland grail]

NOO please dont replace all consoles

[iron inlet]

Indeed I did, but this one is cool

[inland grail]

dont replace nintendo 😦

[reef storm]

https://schedule.gdconf.com/session/gdc-main-stage-the-developers-journey/865034

[jagged mortar]

stadia is the future of console gaming, nintendo made the first jump xD

[austere lance]

Yeah don't replace consoles

[jagged mortar]

with ass creed odessy afaik

[winter yew]

Nintento did it first.

[inland grail]

for most things.

[winter yew]

With the SNES.

[inland grail]

with the wii?

[winter yew]

SNES streaming is 👌

[inland grail]

with the switch?

[jagged mortar]

ye

just imagine nintendo switch playing NMS at 60 fps

[winter yew]

😩

[austere lance]

Just let me play games without streaming them, lol. There's a reason I hated PS Now or whatever it's called

[inland grail]

well

[jagged mortar]

on ULTRA with tesselation

[inland grail]

imagine stadia on switch

could happen 🤔

[jagged mortar]

yea death of all consoles babyyyy

[iron inlet]

I expect Stadia to fail like the Ouya did tbh

[jagged mortar]

stadia is love

[iron inlet]

Same with whatever Amazon wants to come out with

[jagged mortar]

just dont touch pc market

pls

[gaunt hare]

I wouldn't be surprised

[austere lance]

I'm fine with stuff like Game Pass cuz I actually get to download the game in case I wanna play offline, streaming everything is 🤢

[iron inlet]

Xbox and PlayStation are just too established

You can't derail them anymore

[austere lance]

Yee

[gaunt hare]

To be fair, Google has QUITE a bit more clout than the ouya

[inland grail]

umm

[iron inlet]

It's engrained in our culture though

[inland grail]

ur forgeting nintendo

[iron inlet]

"I play games"
"Xbox or PS?"

[jagged mortar]

whats a REGGIE?

[iron inlet]

It's the fundamental question

[inland grail]

Nintendo switch

[gaunt hare]

I forget Nintendo all the time

[inland grail]

lol

i dont have xbox or ps

[iron inlet]

The majority of gamers have one or the other

[jagged mortar]

it will be

[iron inlet]

Most people don't game on PC

[jagged mortar]

PC or Stadia?

[inland grail]

i choosed the switch over the xbox and ps

[gaunt hare]

Sup fellow gamers

[iron inlet]

And a switch is never a "primary" console

[austere lance]

A LOT of people have at least one console, lol. Good luck changing that

[iron inlet]

The switch is always additional to another console

[austere lance]

Yee

[iron inlet]

I expect Stadia to be the same

[gaunt hare]

Good point

[iron inlet]

It'll rival the Switch, but not Xbox or PS

[inland grail]

well it is my only console

i love when u say this

[winter yew]

Yeah but you're a PC gamer.

[gaunt hare]

You're on PC too tho ya?

[inland grail]

when the switch has been dominating the market for the last 2 years

[jagged mortar]

everyone has a pc

[iron inlet]

Purely because Switch is new

[inland grail]

i just got it 2 months

[gaunt hare]

I don't

[jagged mortar]

but doesnt mean its PURELY gaming

[meager panther]

I don't have a gaming pc

[iron inlet]

PS4 and Xbox got released in 2014

[inland grail]

just like PS4 when they release

[iron inlet]

Switch came out in 2017

So naturally the switch has more sales

Recently

Because it's newer

[inland grail]

an PS4 kinda dying down

[winter yew]

Switch is focused on more fun orientated gameds XB and PS4 focuses on action and story driven games.

[jagged mortar]

but yea

[inland grail]

uhh

[iron inlet]

Same way how in 2006 the PS3 beat the shit out of the Xbox 360

[jagged mortar]

we ALL agree gaming as a service is cancer

[inland grail]

i will buy mortal kombat on switch is that fun ?

or just loving blowing head ?

[winter yew]

Actually that's wrong Nyx 😛 360 kicked the shit outta the PS3.

[jagged mortar]

now we have console as a service 😂

[gaunt hare]

PS4 dominates in terms of how many people own it

[winter yew]

But yeah I see your point.

[austere lance]

LMAO

[iron inlet]

@winter yew even in PS3?

[inland grail]

for now @gaunt hare

[iron inlet]

2006*

[inland grail]

😉

[iron inlet]

I can type

[austere lance]

Out of context pins xD

[gaunt hare]

Haha, for now being the past five years

[inland grail]

indeed

5 years

[gaunt hare]

But sure, I could see switch taking over

[inland grail]

it could

its on pace for it

[gaunt hare]

If gamers all became 13 years old

[iron inlet]

Switch has a wider audience

[inland grail]

indeed

i mean it will always be a choice of

[gaunt hare]

Nintendo is for little babies

[iron inlet]

Switch works for children of ages 3 to adults of ages fuckin 75+

[inland grail]

Power against portablity

[iron inlet]

And everywhere inbetween

[austere lance]

Switch has like 4 actual games, lol. Not counting the ones like DOOM that were on other consoles first

[iron inlet]

Mario Odyssey but also Dark Souls

[winter yew]

XB and PS4 is aimed at middle aged gamers.

Very specific audience.

[gaunt hare]

Hell ya

[inland grail]

Doom or wolfeinsein

[jagged mortar]

but but

everyone can play on pc

[iron inlet]

Switch has a better chance of dominating the market due to its wider demographic

[austere lance]

Xbox has always been aimed at everyone, lol

[jagged mortar]

wtf

[gaunt hare]

But I need my bloodborne

[inland grail]

i cant wait to play doom on switch

[jagged mortar]

-.-

[inland grail]

gonna be cool

[iron inlet]

I'm holding out on buying a switch

Until NMS release

[inland grail]

on switch?

[gaunt hare]

I'd totally buy one if I had keesh

[inland grail]

i have a lot of games to buy on switch

[iron inlet]

Yeah, if NMS released on switch I'd buy in 1 second

[winter yew]

Nyx that's private info lmao

[jagged mortar]

NMS on switch😂

[iron inlet]

Hex don't tease them lmao

[inland grail]

just only with the library they are releasing this year

my wallet gonna burn

lol

[jagged mortar]

if NMS can run on switch then skyrim will run on my toaster

[inland grail]

skyyrim runs on switch soo

[gaunt hare]

Nms on switch confirmed

[inland grail]

technicly

[iron inlet]

Skyrim runs on Alexa

So

[inland grail]

u could already play nms on switch

[meager panther]

Wait I think I need to kidnap hex and nyxara.... They know some stuff

[gaunt hare]

Nahh just kidding. Switch is too weak!

[meager panther]

[winter yew]

We know nothing

[inland grail]

lol i love when everyone says that

switch too weak

[gaunt hare]

Weak ass console

[inland grail]

it is

[gaunt hare]

Got flimsy tiny arms

[jagged mortar]

its a tablet dohhhh

[inland grail]

but we underestimate the power of it i think

[jade lake]

NMs on switch

[idle saffron]

Skyrim is much much easier to run than nms

[meager panther]

If I was close friends with hex,I could have known more. But alas

[inland grail]

doom too or wolfeinstein too??

[idle saffron]

Yes

[inland grail]

if u say so

[winter yew]

I'm sorry Gamer.

[jagged mortar]

at this point 2 skyrim can run on phone

[iron inlet]

NMS is really poorly optimized

[inland grail]

it is

[gaunt hare]

Yes it is.

[iron inlet]

no offense @HG

[gaunt hare]

Must be a bitch to get working

[idle saffron]

Jordan, you are demolishing nms on a pc right now - you think switch would do anything even close to that

[meager panther]

Lol

[inland grail]

i wont do that on switch

[idle saffron]

Lol

[gaunt hare]

You couldn't xD

[idle saffron]

Yeah no

[inland grail]

because i dont want to explode my hands

[winter yew]

500 base part limit.

[meager panther]

Unless he wants to burn his hands

[inland grail]

and i dont want my switch to explose

[gaunt hare]

Oh, be careful then, don't play Minecraft on high settings.

[austere lance]

Switch will sell a bunch when the next Pokémon drops

Then it'll level out again

[winter yew]

New hardware revision is rumoured for this year.

[gaunt hare]

That would be cool

Like a switch pro?

A switch 360?

[winter yew]

I guess a Switch Pro.

More power.

[austere lance]

Gotta get 4K 60 FPS on Switch, lol

[idle saffron]

I don't care what Nintendo does - if they put out a good mario game, I buy the system

So I have a switch

[gaunt hare]

Zelda for me

[idle saffron]

Nice

[jagged mortar]

doom for me

o wait

[winter yew]

RDR2 for me.

[austere lance]

Buying a console for one game baffles me

[gaunt hare]

I did it for bloodborne and it worked out fine

[austere lance]

That's an expensive-ass game, lol

[winter yew]

Horizon Zero Dawn was my reason for PS4.

[idle saffron]

I don't only get 1 game, but I wouldn't have got it without a good mario

[jagged mortar]

@austere lance then you dont understand exclusives

[austere lance]

Exclusives blow goats

[winter yew]

I don't have PS4 anymore though. =\

It never got used.

[idle saffron]

To me Nintendo = mario

[winter yew]

Same really

[austere lance]

Nintendo=Pokémon to me

[winter yew]

Nintento*

[idle saffron]

Pimento

[jagged mortar]

but yea nintendo should make tablet consoles

[austere lance]

Tho I miss playing Super Mario World on SNES

[jagged mortar]

so us pc players can get in too wink wink

[idle saffron]

So what's stadia?

[winter yew]

Streaming

[idle saffron]

Google yeah

[winter yew]

Yeah it's Google.

[idle saffron]

But is it their own stuff, licensing from others?

[winter yew]

Any device that can run Google Chrome.

Both Gleam.

[idle saffron]

Really, interesting

[winter yew]

They're starting a 1st party studio.

[full beacon]

https://youtu.be/nUih5C5rOrA

[idle saffron]

They have the cash

[winter yew]

Assassins Creed and Doom Eternal are already confirmed.

[idle saffron]

Great snags

[full beacon]

it's going to be great

[meager panther]

I am downloading Odyssey.will be nearly a day

[full beacon]

just wait for stadia lol

no downloading required

[meager panther]

[full beacon]

xD

[winter yew]

Still needs decent internet.

[meager panther]

Hot tbh

[full beacon]

like 25mbps

[winter yew]

Input lag is gunna be the decider whether it's successful or not.

[idle saffron]

For me, probably just a neat thing - American isp's start throttling after so many gig a month, de-ending on what you pay them

[full beacon]

1 second is HUGE when you're gaming.

[gaunt hare]

1 second is a huge deal

[meager panther]

[gaunt hare]

Haha

[idle saffron]

That's death in some games

[full beacon]

omfg no its not

[idle saffron]

[winter yew]

You press a button and need to wait 1 second for your character to jump.

[idle saffron]

Lol

[gaunt hare]

It literally is

[austere lance]

Ah, I see the salt is flowing nicely

[winter yew]

That's a big deal lmao

[meager panther]

Like Apex legends

[gaunt hare]

Like devil daggers

[full beacon]

maybe on a matchmaking game but not a single player game

[idle saffron]

Not saying that it will lag

[meager panther]

Which is why I uninstalled it

[gaunt hare]

Like mario

[meager panther]

[gaunt hare]

Like doom

Like bloodborne

[raven frost]

1 second is a huge wait lol

[full beacon]

its already been several swconds lol

[austere lance]

1 second lag in Dark Souls is lit, it's like hard mode 😂

[full beacon]

its not that bad at all. get over yourself. "1 second is a long time"

[idle saffron]

Nms could kill you in a second, ooos didn't boost on that drop impact death

[full beacon]

fucking hell

[gaunt hare]

Push jump and say one Mississippi then imagone jumping

[winter yew]

1 second delay in gaming is HUGE.

[full beacon]

you guys find anything and everything to complain about

no its not

[idle saffron]

Lmao

🍿

[raven frost]

[winter yew]

If someone runs at me and I shoot and it takes a second to shoot, that means I'm dead.

I need it to shoot NOW.

[full beacon]

not if it takes them 1 second lol

[winter yew]

You're missing the point.

[idle saffron]

😎

[full beacon]

nope

[gaunt hare]

This is a confusing hill to choose to die on

[full beacon]

your internet just sucks ass

[gaunt hare]

Hahaha

I mean I would play flappy bird if I don't have internet

I thought those where stuff to replace the Dino game

[austere lance]

"There Is No Internet Connection Remastered"

[meager panther]

Yes

[austere lance]

Best game

IGN 10/10

[meager panther]

They need to bring back club penguin

[jade lake]

stadia is a stupid name

and a stupid concept

[meager panther]

No

[gaunt hare]

Stadia is definitely a stupid name

[meager panther]

It's a great concept

[jade lake]

nah

[gaunt hare]

It sounds like a toilet cleaner

[meager panther]

And a great proof of concept too

[gaunt hare]

Stadia: freshness doesn't have to be difficult

[jade lake]

streaming games is the last thing i want to become mainstream

[gaunt hare]

Same

[austere lance]

Maybe game streaming should wait til internet isn't garbo for millions of people, lol

[gaunt hare]

I don't trust corporations to hold onto my games for me while I pay to access them

[meager panther]

But I can play any game without needing a PC that costs 2k$

[raven frost]

I like the idea but infrastructure isn't there yet

it's the same problem with EVs

[austere lance]

Man understands

[raven frost]

Good idea, but no infrastructure yet

[meager panther]

Ev are succ

[gaunt hare]

Hey, if it works, they will dominate

[meager panther]

Successful*

[idle saffron]

Additionally, Stadia will enable cross-platform multiplayer, so players on the platform can play alongside console and PC owners.

Said like they control that

[meager panther]

Re:see tesla

[gaunt hare]

That's why I don't think it's a bad idea. if it actually works like they say it does everyone would want that

[idle saffron]

It's not playable on iOS

Soo basically it's a pc?

I don't get it

[gaunt hare]

I thought you could play stadia on your phone

[austere lance]

Wow, one second input lag in multiplayer vs people with no lag sounds lit xD

[idle saffron]

Not if it's iOS

[gaunt hare]

Ohhh

I don't get it.

[idle saffron]

I was thinking more tablets though

But I really don't know anyone that has a decent non iOS tablet - all the ones I know have some form of iPad

[winter yew]

It'll work via Google Chrome so if you can install and run Chrome, you can use Stadia.

[idle saffron]

Not on iOS

Not even with chrome

[jade lake]

will it work on the school chromebooks lmao

[winter yew]

Yes butch.

[jade lake]

i was half joking

[winter yew]

I imagine that's cause iOS is sandboxed then.

[austere lance]

Why on earth would they give it cross-play

[meager panther]

Coz $$$$

[idle saffron]

Have they heard of steam?

[meager panther]

Lol

[idle saffron]

I mean, if I can't play it on anything besides a pc or pixel phone

[austere lance]

Guess what happens if you have one second minimum input lag when you're playing against people with no input lag, lol

[fiery fog]

crossplay from a technical standpoint is mainly about protocol and platform from waht i understand

[idle saffron]

And getting the other guys to allow it

[fiery fog]

the way server data is communicated, across what ports, etc

[idle saffron]

They might want to ask Sony and Microsoft before they say it will be cross plat

[gaunt hare]

Haha

[austere lance]

People on consoles and other pc platforms will hop on cross-play lobbies just to smoke laggy bois and get ez K/D boosts 😂

[fiery fog]

i mean, in reality crossplat works super well in theory but like
it puts a frankly excessive amount of work on the devs at the same time

because platform also factors into crossplay, and you need different compilers, licenses, distros, and schedules for bugfixes, implementation of features, etc

[austere lance]

It's fine if your platform has lag but letting it do cross-play with other platforms that don't is just asking for trouble

[fiery fog]

yep
though lag is mostly down to the end user, and optimisations can help mitigate the lag, devices like smartphones and stuff aren't exactly designed to be gaming machines, even these days lol

[idle saffron]

I don't know if it will lag or not, though that seems inevitable - but I don't get why streaming games is their big move... they do know it's been going on for quite some time right?

[fiery fog]

capitalism

[gaunt hare]

https://youtu.be/VG06H7IQ9Aw

[idle saffron]

But how big a profit do you think it will be?

[fiery fog]

depends on how they intend to implement their game. i don't doubt for a second they'll garner a lot of attention for being The First Big Cross Platform Game, but users have weird habits and biases

plus development time will be high across platforms so they're gonna have to have a very good sales strategy to pay off their programmers

[idle saffron]

I mean watching that - they are getting 30fps on lower resolution with creed - why would anyone play that over the disc or digital version?

[fiery fog]

who knows. it's bizarre

steam came out with link recently didnt they?

[idle saffron]

And how the hell are you gonna play doom on a pixel phone?

I'm so confused

[iron inlet]

Ready for dat MCC

[austere lance]

Ohshit

[fiery fog]

well i just remembered halo exists lmao

[teal mason]

"recently" is true if your far away is a 1000 years ago

[austere lance]

Y'all are gonna have a blast on MCC, I can't wait for everyone to experience it

[fiery fog]

when did link come out goddamn

[iron inlet]

@austere lance I loved it on Xbox, excited for PC

[idle saffron]

Nyx is a halo master

Which is kinda hard to believe, SINCE HE WONT PRESS Y

[fluid hare]

Nxara

[iron inlet]

but y tho

[raven frost]

I'll master your halo

[idle saffron]

😇

[winter yew]

Also, RTX is being enabled on gtx 10 series.

[idle saffron]

That's good I assume

[raven frost]

my joke about rimming has been derailed by wholesomeness

[meager panther]

I don't get

How does one simply enable rtx on a existing card

[winter yew]

Hardware isn't ready for RTX yet, probably around 10 years away for it to be reliable.

[raven frost]

10 is a bit of a stretch

[idle saffron]

What is RTX

[winter yew]

Ok then, 20.

[raven frost]

I'd say-

[winter yew]

Real time ray tracing.

[raven frost]

[meager panther]

5

[winter yew]

So light sources will be super pretty and accurate in reflections in games.

[raven frost]

thanos, delete time

[idle saffron]

Sweet, why the X?

[winter yew]

Cause it sounds important.

[idle saffron]

Gotcha

[raven frost]

Megaman X

[winter yew]

Point proven and valid.

[bronze wind]

seX

[winter yew]

Nice!

[raven frost]

heXagonal

[bronze wind]

Sexagon

The ultimate autobot

[winter yew]

Sounds amazing tbh

[gaunt hare]

https://youtu.be/uzO2mi4uHAs

Sexagon, the ultimate autobot

[jade lake]

whitest kids u know

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct2AWh-nKSk

[gaunt hare]

Haha. They wrote a movie apparently

Should only be about ten more years til it comes out

[elfin bronze]

yo.. does anybody wanna join my Modded Scrap Mechanic? All my friend are either offline or their Scrap Mechanic is broken...

[cinder vessel]

no clue what that is

[cinder vessel]

so steam's bad, mmkay

[austere lance]

The new Apex character is weird, lol

[cinder vessel]

no u

[jade lake]

i was going to say that gmr

[cinder vessel]

i wanna punch valve today for some reason

i think it's because i can't get some games on PC without having to use steam

and it makes me grah

[jade lake]

graaaah

[cinder vessel]

i also wanna punch the industry and exclusives and the wooorldddd

it's a good thing i picked up asura's wrath recently then i guess

which is incidentally a great example of this particular grah

because it's not on other platforms

[jade lake]

graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[cinder vessel]

speaking of tho have u played it?

it's ridiculous nonsense in the best of ways

[jade lake]

ive heard of it

[still silo]

I feel like an anti-vaxer mother giving chicken pox lollipops to her half dozen kids right now

One of my champion Pokemon contracted Pokerus last night when I was playing, and I've been spending most of the day having them grind against one another to spread the disease

[blazing torrent]

aight so

new apex character is sick

[fiery fog]

wait theres a new apex character

[blazing torrent]

battle pass

shit

[fiery fog]

who

[blazing torrent]

im trying to get a refund on it rn

octane

hes really fun

[gaunt hare]

Wait Pokemon can get viruses

[still silo]

Yeah, a virus called Pokerus

it's actually a good thing

it increases EV that you get from pokemon battles

and it's only infectious for two to four days

great thing to spread to low-level pokemon

[gaunt hare]

... that's dark

[still silo]

Basically, the virus actually helps Pokemon by making their stats grow quicker during training

mutualistic is the term

[fluid hare]

It’s like mitochondria in a way.

They were once a bacterium.

They actually have their own DNA!

[visual snow]

Is anybode here who has played dark souls?

[gaunt hare]

I've played them a bit

Soulsborne is my favorite video game series

[full pivot]

Once or twice

[gaunt hare]

My list goes bloodborne, dark souls, dark souls 2, dark souls 3, demon souls

[visual snow]

Hardest boss?

[gaunt hare]

In dark souls or all of them

[visual snow]

All

[gaunt hare]

Orphan of Kos

[visual snow]

Ok that was expected thb

And ds1m

?

[gaunt hare]

Fuck what's his name

[visual snow]

Gwyn?

[gaunt hare]

The primeviel man

[visual snow]

Manus

Magus

[gaunt hare]

Him

[visual snow]

Idk

[gaunt hare]

Manass is the hardest

[full pivot]

Manus, Father of the Abyss

[visual snow]

Yep

[gaunt hare]

Base game, it's the fatty and the tiny

[visual snow]

Pikachu and snorlax

[gaunt hare]

Gwyn not so bad

[full pivot]

Gwyn is only hard if youve never been spoiled and dont parry

[visual snow]

I parried gwyn all the way

On my second try lol

Yep he is hard then you dont parry

[gaunt hare]

Easiest boss?

[visual snow]

Pinwheel

[gaunt hare]

Oh yeeh

[visual snow]

Best boss?

[gaunt hare]

That's probably easiest all time

Best in dark souls is manass and atorious

[full pivot]

No the stupid church mob boss in Dark Souls 2 is easier

[gaunt hare]

Whatever the fuck they are called

I thought about that

[visual snow]

@full pivot ive npt finished ds2 yet

[gaunt hare]

but pinwheel could go down so fast I thought there would be a part 2

[visual snow]

But artorias is great

[gaunt hare]

I love dark souls 2

[visual snow]

And the dragon in ds1 is also good

[gaunt hare]

I used to play the pvp a lot

I beat it without dying to get the ring

[visual snow]

@gaunt hare very weird vibes from that game

[gaunt hare]

It's just very slow

[visual snow]

@gaunt hare yeah

Fav location

?

[gaunt hare]

Undead burg

That's nostalgia tho

Memories

[visual snow]

Undead settlement

[full pivot]

Dark Souls 2 used to have time travel

[gaunt hare]

That game was a mess and they called in a guy to salvage it

the areas weren't supposed to be stitched together

And he just did it anyway

That's why we get the windmill under the volcano

But I think he did an amazing job

[visual snow]

Ds2 is probably the easiest

[gaunt hare]

Considering what he was working with

Yes, lifegems

You can just put your health up really high and play slow

[visual snow]

I dont really use livegems

[gaunt hare]

No death run

But it's also quite difficult sometimes

Especially the dlc

I had a lot of trouble with it

It was too slow for me in the beginning

[visual snow]

I had some serious difficulties with ornstein and smough

Guess how many hours i spent on thhat boss

[gaunt hare]

I think most pissed I got was Ludewig

5

[visual snow]

10

[gaunt hare]

5 hours for each guy

[visual snow]

But that was like my first souls game

[gaunt hare]

Mine first was demon souls, didn't like it. Dark souls, didn't like it. Then I tried playing dark souls again and it clicked

I was slow to get the point

[visual snow]

To not use a shield

[gaunt hare]

Ya and just what made the games appealing

Just thought they were clumsy and slow at first, too hard, felt like I didn't know what I was doing wrong

A lot of the shit just straight up doesn't make sense in that classic souls way that I wasn't used to. Like going to the Crow's nest to curl up into a ball and pretend to be an egg

[visual snow]

Dark souls really made me understand my shortcomings lol

[gaunt hare]

I love that shit now but at the time it just felt like the game was annoying me by being vague

[visual snow]

@gaunt hareit was made to be discobered with a community

[gaunt hare]

Ya, and that's what was really special about dark souls

That's part of why some people liked dark souls 3 left

[visual snow]

My fav mp functionality

[gaunt hare]

less*

Ya. I'm really excited for sekiro to be single player tho

Honestly I'm so excited for that game.

[visual snow]

Oh tell me about it

Im media blackout for that game

Sorta lol

[gaunt hare]

I watched that gameplay trailer and I liked that. The five minute one that explains combat, story and progression

[visual snow]

It is so different

From regular ds

But yet simillar

[gaunt hare]

They are going to be able to design bosses just around the player experience rather than making sure it's also fun for 4 people to fight

They can make weapons as crazy as they want cause no pvp balancing.

[visual snow]

Yeah

That will turn out really great

Im sure of it

Ill miss my dark souls tho

All the lore was so much fun

Going through a dark souls game is like nothing else

[gaunt hare]

I haven't even picked up the remaster

I would but $

[visual snow]

I playes the remaster and that was my first souls

[gaunt hare]

Lucky

[visual snow]

Yeah

[gaunt hare]

You got to experience no lag blighttown first playthru

[visual snow]

It was do different from anything ive played till that time

And i didnt use any help

So much frustration

Lost so many times

But i beat it

Its like zelda to some degree

Lol

[gaunt hare]

It's grown up zelda

[visual snow]

This game

Is a life changing experience

At least for me

[gaunt hare]

I know exactly what you mean

[visual snow]

Imagine how i felt when i beat ornstein and smough

And when i realized how much determination i can have

After 10 hours

I started to question my sanity lmao

Anyway whats your fav ost?

[iron inlet]

I need a new game to play

Sekiro comes out in two days so that's gonna be fucking awesome, but I need something to tide me over

[gaunt hare]

Also for favorite ost...

[iron inlet]

Halo 2

Hands down

Or ODST

[gaunt hare]

That's a hard one for me

Bungie does such good sound tracks tho

Every time

[iron inlet]

If Music of the Spheres ever made it into D1 it'd be my favourite OST

but actually parts of it did so, Destiny 1

Specifically Music of the Spheres

[gaunt hare]

What type of game do you want

[iron inlet]

A fun one

Lol

[gaunt hare]

Frostpunk is on sale

I always wanted to play that

What's that game that came out yesterday

with building factories

[iron inlet]

Satisfactory

[gaunt hare]

Is that fun?

[iron inlet]

No idea

[idle saffron]

SUPER

HOT

SUPER
HOT

SUPER HOT

[winter yew]

I heard Super Hot is the most innovative shooter released in years

[idle saffron]

Super hot is the most innovative shooter I have played in years

[meager panther]

Super hot is the most innovative thing I have heard that does not need ad block

[iron inlet]

Super hot is the most innovative shooter I have played in years

[pearl surge]

Super hot is the most innovative shooter I have played in years

[meager panther]

check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw3EIysySm0

What do you guys think of it

[idle saffron]

Looks neat

Besides those creepy eye rocks

Gg autocorrect

👁

[winter yew]

It does look real nice.

[pearl surge]

Honestly, I would love to see the creepy eye rocks in nms

[idle saffron]

Same

[winter yew]

Yes

[idle saffron]

Even if it just meant I would turn and run away

[pearl surge]

Like a planet where you are walking and you noticed the rocks eyes are following you and if you look at them directly, they shut quickly. That would be so creepy I would love it

[idle saffron]

👁👁👁👁👁

[meager panther]

It looks like || ball sacks||

Also I hate the background music in the video.otherwise looks fine

[full pivot]

I really shouldn't watch people play puzzle games

On the other hand, gonna be playing it tomorrow on my switch now 😝

[idle saffron]

What game?

[full pivot]

Baba is you

Aw man and NL is playing pulsar the lost colony...

No one would ever play that with me cuz I'm the only one who wants to be like star trek

[reef storm]

wdym like star trek?

[meager panther]

Data

[idle saffron]

Beaming up stuff, Vulcan nerve pinching, the norm

[reef storm]

lol

[full pivot]

Like you play as the crew of a starship

[winter yew]

Which game sorry?

[full pivot]

Pulsar: The Lost Colony

Think 3d FTL where youre the people in the ship

[reef storm]

I'd play it like that (star trek style). Seems like how it should be played, at least in spirit.

[full pivot]

To fill all the roles you need 6 ppl thats the issue

[reef storm]

Hard to find a group that would all play together as well 😦

[rigid haven]

That sounds neat
