Quoting: KallestofelesAh yes, rocket lake, the 14+++++++++++++++++ process node. :grin:

Have to admit that gave me quite a laugh.

Quoting: gabberA news about an advert? Everything for stadia I guess...

If you don't like it, don't read it. Not a complicated concept. We even let you block tags on your settings if you don't like Stadia - I suggest people use the feature.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkOk... fair enough. In my defense, though, their website is not exactly clear on that.

Yeah, their actual website and frankly the store itself is still pretty rubbish right now, they have a lot of work to do to clear all that up. The store doesn't even have a search bar yet...

Quoting: ObsidianBlkAre you talking the the monthly charge I pay Sony for being able to play my games online and they give me two free games a month? If so, one difference is those free games are free free. Once I nab them, they're still mine if I quit the service.

Uh no, if you leave PS Plus, you will not be able to play the PS Plus redeemed games. It's always been that way [External Link]. Stadia Pro is the same, get access while you have it, then get it back if you resume it after cancelling.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkAgain... fair enough. How is it over cellular internet? They are pushing mobile devices too, and 5G isn't exactly ubiquitous at the moment.

That I don't know, I only have 4G and a data cap there so I don't dare do it over mobile net.

Quoting: haikuFor now i enjoy GeForce NOW, it's cheap and doesn't require a proprietary gamepad.

You only need the Stadia Controller if you're using a Chromecast Ultra. Otherwise, as the video says, anything else.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkThey say it's like streaming movies or music, but they're not being wholly truthful there.

Depends how you take it, speaking technically they are correct and this is an advert for the masses not for deeper technical stuff.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkat least has the decency of NOT charging me for the service

You're not charged to use Stadia either though. So it does work the same as what you're comparing it to on their movie/tv purchases through the Play store.

From the rest of your post, it seems pretty clear you still think you have to pay for it. You do not, they even say in the video you get a free trial of Stadia Pro when you sign up and then you can just use the service as normal if you cancel it.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkshell out a shiz ton of money for an internet connection that can (close to) stably stream those games

I regularly play it across WiFi on the opposite side of my house to where the router is, where I get about ~36mb/s and it is without issues.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkI think, if you're going to call yourself the Netflix of video games (and, to be fair, I can't recall if Google themselves ever actually did)

They have never once said that, and they actually said somewhere (can't find where) not to think of it like Netflix. Edit: found it [External Link]. As they said, Stadia Pro mirrors PS Plus on the PlayStation - get access to a growing collection of titles and extra discounts to buy games.

Quoting: Ehvis"A complex fighting system ..." and the first thing I see is MMO timers. Not the best entrance.

From that they of course mean more in how the abilities will work together, given their wording and description of different effects rather than technical on jumping around and mashing lots of buttons to perform special manoeuvres.

Quoting: GuestScratching my head what 'Strong language' in the context of 'feature' means ???

Well. It features strong language.

Quoting: NezchanNot sure this is my kind of puzzle game, but that has to be the nicest voxel art I've ever seen.

Smith and Winston had some pretty fantastic voxel art too.

If you wanted to do something similar with a UI, you can do it with Kdenlive. Using the Audio Waveform Filter on the Master Effects https://imgur.com/a/yNDQ9kl [External Link]

I don't really have much to add, I agree with what mirv said and I think this is still a great initiative if you're not going to be a zealot about it.

Quoting: Bleistift33Will this episode also be available in ogg?
Because I have subrscibed to your podcast with the following rss feed: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/podcast_rss_ogg.php and the latest episode is missing there.

Hi, apologies for that. I've rewritten the RSS feeds now into one single file that just takes a "?format=xxx" tag which is now live. There's a redirect in place for the old feeds, it should all work fine now :)
