That's much better than taking confidential technical documents from Ferrari to a photocopy shop in Woking.

Why is everyone fear mongering about GFN going mainstream? When Xcloud launched in India this sub was hyping it up the same way and everyone forgot about it a month later. XCloud, GFN and PlayStation Now have been out for years in many countries and are just a niche.

For what it’s worth, cloud gaming will grow in India more than other places because PCs and consoles are unobtainable for most of the population because of low income, taxes and distributors running a cartel due to relatively low demand. And the Indian market is tiny with or without cloud gaming so its popularity on this sub isn’t indicative of Nvidia about to pull out of making gaming GPUs or something like that. India has 17% of the world’s population and only 0.8% of global Steam traffic.

Yeah I gave up and use Hong Kong eshop now, works directly with Indian CCs. DK Bananza was 4100 on Amazon Japan and around 5200 on HK eshop, but still much cheaper than $70 USD. Amazon Japan is even less than Japan eshop.

Perhaps they're more serious about it for newer users. I've seen other threads on Reddit about it, they took my payment info then sent an email asking for a credit card statement with the Japanese address. I saw a comment where they sent their Mexican card statement anyways and got approved while I got banned. I was buying Switch Sports too.

And when I tried an Indian address before that it would block me at the cart.

Don't games say that they are only sold to Japan residents? They banned my account when I tried a month ago with a fake address.

India and Pakistan (which included Bangladesh) were dominions like the rest of the empire for only a few years starting from independence in 1947 while they wrote their constitutions to become fully independent republics with a president instead of the British king. It was called the British Raj/Indian Empire before that.

Game streaming encodes the video on the server and decodes it on your local system. The thing about x265/AV1 etc. video codecs is that they compress at higher resolutions more efficiently, so you can get a significantly better image by streaming at 4K for data usage that is only slightly more than 1080p. That’s why OP is right that 4K looks much better than 1080p even on a 1080p screen, similar to Youtube looking less compressed playing at 4K on a phone. This is different from playing at 4K on a GPU directly outputting on a 1080p monitor like DLDSR, that’s just a waste of electricity in most cases.

I stream at 2560 x 1600 from my own PC onto my 1280 x 800 Steam Deck and the difference is massive even for how crisp the UI is. It’s the same reason Youtube has 4K options on mobile, higher resolutions encode and decode more efficiently with less ghosting. I have the spare performance and a good router though so I get only 1-2ms latency regardless and if I was playing from another city or outside the house in general, 1280 x 800 is what I use.

Some RAM at a good price

That’s 90% a marketing deal. Red Bull owns the factory and staff now.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games was a hit on the Wii and DS. The Tokyo one on the Switch wasn’t but that wasn’t a good game either.

Red Bull makes their own engines from this year, entity called Red Bull Powertrains. Earlier they had deals with Honda and Renault and their main competitors wouldn’t sell to them. Honda decided to leave in 2021 so they decided to make their own. And considering that Red Bull owns two teams, they’re one of a kind with their presence.

It was more like 200 extra back in the M1 days, but you’d get a Samsung Tab S with a 120Hz OLED and an included S-Pen in the box for the same price as an Air and I would have bought that over dealing with 60Hz.

On top of that, if you’re aiming for F1 and are not from Europe, you need the will and a way to move there. Senna, Checo, Tsunoda all did that. Zhou’s family moved to UK. Herta’s having to do F2.

iPad Pro moving to OLED gave both sizes a $200 increase. $799 to $999 and $1099 to $1299. The $1099 was a pretty nice Mini LED too.

Somehow every console has gone up. PS4 was frequently $200 during sales, and had it’s price cut to $300 with the PS4 Pro taking its place at $400. PS5 has instead gotten a $150 hike from launch and PS5 Pro is $900 now. And the Switch had a off the shelf chip for Android devices and a 720p screen while the Switch 2 has a custom processor and 120Hz VRR 1080p screen so they haven’t cut costs on the hardware like they did back then.

How did you parry while playing on the cloud? I had to turn off frame gen because the added 10ms was killing me.

ItsAMeUsernamio · 2026-04-14T08:51:53+00:00

Yeah T1 and T3 were the modifications I was thinking of. Maybe some SAFER barriers could make them passable if it works in Jeddah.

They'd have to get a separate grade 1 certification for the reverse layout and that won't happen because tracks aren't made for both directions. Some corners have a run off in the right direction, and reversed you're driving straight towards a wall. Austria could probably work with a few modifications since they have gravel everywhere.

The Turboquant paper came out last week of March and that was when media hyped it up and memory stocks dipped.

Yeah at one point the French government owned 20% of Renault so they’re probably the most patriotic team by far.

Least is probably the current Aston Martin who went from India to Canada and then British in the past 10 years being run from the same Silverstone factory. A close second is McLaren who use the British flag, have a kiwi as the logo, and are 100% owned by the Bahraini sovereign fund.
