    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    Well if anyone can pull it off, it'd be someone like Google with their capabilities, and Jade Raymond could use a hit, it's been a while for her. It's not a product I'd use, but I'm old enough now that half the things coming out tech wise make me scratch my head.

    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    Bandwidth to stream is only a second concern, control lag is going to make or break things imo. Let's talk numbers (and please correct me if I'm wrong). Hypothetical multiplayer situation. Some assumptions/speculation: You have your local client (CL) - this is whatever runs on the device in your...

    SWG Emulators

    Ah cool. I tried some SWG server a while back, but they didn't have piloting as far as I can tell. I don't know if it's a server specific thing (implementation challenges, server infrastructure limits?) but cool to see things are making advances in that area.

    SWG Emulators

    I'm still on an emulator itch, so went digging. I never got to play much SWG when it was live, so it's still all new to me. Apparently SWGLegends has the Jump to Lightspeed expansion working now with ship piloting? Again, never played this when live, so I don't really know what each expac did...

    Alright, might check it out this weekend. Thanks.

    Legacy of Norrath - Classic+ EQ Experience

    From reading their Discord, seems like Kunark is now live here. Thinking about starting up a monk and shaman. Is it worth it?

    Totalbiscuit has passed away

    RIP TB. His last post (AFAIK) for those who are interested is over here on reddit. He was having major spine and liver issues at that point.

    Venom (2018)

    Is it though? I think it's one of those UK vs American English situations. OED has /ˌsɪmbɪˈɒtɪk/ Merriam Webster has \ˌsim-bē-ˈä-tik\ which second syllable is the same as bee. So pick your poison. That said, has Sony actually made a good (i.e. non forgettable trash needlessly heavy with...

    I, Tonya (2017)

    You mean '92 and '94? Previously summer and winter games were held the same year, with '92 being the last. If I recall correctly it was to give each games more individual attention. The cynic in me thinks that just meant more $$$, as it's probably easier to sell to sponsors "hey, spend some...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I'd put money on that is what they'll do with Rian Johnson's new trilogy. Just imagine: EU is gone, all the original characters won't matter and we'll get broom boy as Star Wars Peter Parker. He's an orphan, but smart while shy. He'll start off stopping petty crime in nearby alleys, make himself...

    EQ Next: #1 Next gen MMO

    PlayerUnknown had been working on the Battle Royale game mode for years, as a mod first for Arma2 (a game first released in 2009), though it really got most of its attention for its Arma3 version. They, SOE, licensed his version of Last Man Standing, and hired him as a consultant. He wasn't some...

    Albion Online

    He does retro streams, including Warcraft 1, Diablo 1, and some other stuff. His bigger issue seems to be his hours and reliability. I use to watch him nightly, as he was a good background noise type of stream. But then he disappeared for a while. He needs to bite the bullet and make a full time...

    Twitch.tv

    You're right, however the larger streamers that are in sub-only mode have nothing to lose by playing ads. People who want to avoid ads can sub (win) or they can not sub and deal with the ads for $0.001 per view (or whatever), which is still a win. Also I think there's some kind of plugin or...

    Oxygen Not Included

    If you're familiar with their previous title "Don't Starve", it plays very much like that at the meta level. I'd describe it as more Don't Starve meets Terraria meets Dwarf Fortress. Play a while, learn/encounter something new, get screwed, start over, apply lessons learned from previous game...
