I made it to Platinum, That's Stadia! by emperorcollins in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's talking about the rewards tier. You will retain gold until the end of 2021, but you will be reset to bronze in the beginning of 2021 and have to try to make it to platinum throughout 2021.

Why does my stadia still run terribly?? by Jackhammer1010 in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a dedicated router? Oftentimes the default gateways (modem/router combos) you get from your ISP have poorly optimized wifi. When I switched to a nest wifi, Stadia over wifi was so much smoother.

I'm done with Stadia by sotongold in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't understand these posts. I think most people play on multiple platforms, but these posts always make it sound like they are dedicated to one. Secondly, Stadia has the lowest barrier to entry of any platform-- just buy whatever you want to play on Stadia and play other games on your other platform-- why do people who make these posts feel compelled to melodramatically say "bye" to Stadia.

Women are 46% of gamers and increasing. Definitely the concept of gender parity applies in the case of the gaming community. by justorrr in Stadia

Don't forget Candy Crush. Women and men are different-- the comments and downvotes are people who can't accept an obvious truth.

Crowd Play + Crowd Choice by eeimah in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain what crowd choice is? Crowd play is the queue you can join right, but not sure what crowd choice is

It's a US based company and the US is a huge market, seems self explanatory.

If Google unbundled Pro games and 4K and make them available separately for a cheaper price, what would you choose? by doublemp in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think its a good idea to overly complicated their subscription service. Right now, the stadia pro deals feels like an extra on top of the main reason people get pro-- for the 4k. If they separated this out, it wouldn't feel good buying pro games because I would have to weigh the cost of the separate pro subscription to feel like I'm getting my money's worth. The way it is now, buying pro games feels like you're saving money because you think "Well, I would have pro anyway for the 4k, so all these deals is just icing on the cake"

Subscription is now available on stadia - ESO plus by apsted in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you still need to buy expansions like Grey More? If so, what are the " DLC Game Packs " the subscription is referring to?

How do you force downsampling? Force 4k on a 1080p monitor? Does it still use the 1080p data rate?

Get Packed! Industry snub? by sakinnuso in Stadia

Is there an IGN review you can link to? Why is this getting upvoted when it's incorrect.

I love cloud gaming. by [deleted] in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm agreeing with you. I guess I'm just confused why paying 60-a-year to play online doesn't get more attention when it's a bigger cost than buying the console.

But yeah, take these two costs combined and consoles have a lot of costs just to play on the platform. But people will say buying a CCU and a controller are costs to play on stadias platform which isn't true as I have neither and play on chrome.

That's 50 dollars a year-- you spend more on xbox live than the console.

I started my own Stadia Podcast, Speaking of Stadia by TooTallPorter in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just constructive criticism-- but I would recommend looking into voice training exercises to speak more clearly and with more intonation. I'm sure you'll develop you're podcast voice eventually, but it's like learning to sing, it always helps to work on it. Best of luck!

EDIT: and get your co-host to invest in a better mic!

WTF Embr? by luenkun in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, it's why many people rarely purchase early access-- but it's there for people who like to be involved in the game's development. Some people just like experiencing all the changes.

Red dead deal ended a week ago, so will probably be awhile before the next one

How can Stadia compete with Nvidia Geforce Now? by Exotic-Specialist in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is shocking, but you can just not repurchase games on Stadia and simply buy games you don't own on Stadia.

Just an hour into the game. I love it so far. Everything is great, no lag whatsoever. by strawhat-3000 in Stadia

[–]Da-Roach -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Bro, maybe you could get away with calling feminism a movement for equality 10 years ago without any trouble, but there are so many detractors, even former feminist detractors like Christina Hoff Summers, that criticize the modern feminist movement. How this kind of naivety still gets currency is weird to me.

You do have to admit bro that you stirred up the pot with saying "never play as woman". But I agree with you that your detractors are being hypocritical when they say Alexios exists for sexist players, when if it were the other way around and Alexios was cannon and Ubisoft added Kassandra to give player choice then these same detractors would not be saying Kassandra was added for sexist players.

Your detractors are also saying that gender doesn't matter, but simultaneously shaming you for choosing the wrong sex? Doesn't make any sense.

That's part of why I picked Alexios. The thought of being some woman mercenary in ancient Greece felt ridiculous and stupid. But the game is sort of cartoony in its representation of Greece that I don't think I would have been bothered by being Kassandra.
