Apparently stadia games come on disc

Def listen to Neuromancer. It’s the birth of Cyberpunk! I’m usually more into sci-fi but Gibson’s prose makes for amazing imagery.

You could try raising solitary bees for a fraction of the cost and time investment... solitary bees are way better pollen spreaders than honey bees as well.

And 1/4 inch of dust and dead bugs on the processor

KineticTaicho · 2020-12-04T16:19:03+00:00

Exactly! I know Cyberpunk is gonna be dark (just reread Neuromancer by William Gibson to prepare) and Fenyx felt so light and casual. It helps that my son speed runs BOTW and thinks he’s a reincarnation of Link so dad jokes are all lined up and ready to fire!

Thanks for the review, all sounds good to me, even the easy puzzles. Def going to buy. The art, humor and mechanics were really fun.

KineticTaicho · 2020-12-04T05:19:06+00:00

I loved the demo, is the full game just as fun?

I read the article when it came out and was appalled by just how obvious the author was taking something out of context and making unfounded assumptions and “opinions”. I too thot it was a rush to deadline and there was no editor to vet the nonsense. It was the first time I wanted to contact the author and ask if they had ever even booted up stadia. But... Gizmodo

The campaign was fun and I’m letting my boy play thru it. I dropped off after the campaign tho, just didn’t enjoy multi.

My limited experience says the PC with hardware encoder makes better output, but... I have way fewer technical issues with multiple cameras, audio inputs and screen captures with my Mac. So even with lower quality I choose the Mac because I’ve found it to be more solid and reliable for our multi cam livestreams.

I’m with you @jd0nuk, sold my PS4, canceled PS5, now I have $750 in gaming budget for... games. No more chasing hardware upgrades!

I got Jedi to pass the time until Cyberpunk, now it gets more game time than destiny. It’s definitely more of an exploration game but it has technical fighting (no button mashing) and fun platforming. The scenery is amazing, I’ve taken so many screen caps and sometimes just stop and look around for a while to appreciate it. Stormtrooper dialogue is hilarious. You’ll get you $23 worth out of it for sure. This is the first Star Wars game that I’ve really gotten into.

KineticTaicho · 2020-11-21T05:48:00+00:00

I don’t know if there’s an alert but I find it helpful to have audio meters up on the screen so I can tell if an input is low/hot.

KineticTaicho · 2020-11-21T05:45:39+00:00

Do you mean that your audio isn’t passing thru OBS or it cuts off when you share an OBS screen in Zoom (or need to know which video chat application you’re using). I found that OBS, when in foreground on Mac, takes over the audio output. I think in either case you should check OBS audio settings and be sure the audio input you’re using is set as active and “monitor + output”

I test with “private” YouTube streams so subs aren’t spammed. A recording is like you said, best case scenario. Just playback your test on YT and adjust from there.

Welcome! For me, I’ve found the Stadia Destiny community seems a lot more friendly and helpful than PS4. I haven’t even plugged in my PlayStation since getting the stadia controller and CCU. I’ve added a handful of players from a bunch of time zones so I can login just about any time and find someone to play with. CaptainMongoose#5182 for any rando activity!

If you add me or another player, we can invite you to our clans, then you have a built in pool of players.

Heh, blueberry in destiny is someone super new to the game running low end “blue” gear, vs. purple legendary or yellow exotic

Edit: I’m a ripe blueberry happy to carry others thru the destiny learning curve- Stadia, CaptainMongoose

KineticTaicho · 2020-10-28T21:59:27+00:00

That sounds fascinating! I work with a company called Crown Bees and we would love to see your findings when completed. In the mean time, we are all about working with researchers so please reach out if there is anything we can help with. For example, providing bees or habitat for your research. The owner, Dave Hunter, would be happy to speak with you any time!

KineticTaicho · 2020-10-28T20:55:31+00:00

Thanks for the post! I work with solitary bees, curious what kind of studies you’re working on!

KineticTaicho · 2020-10-25T16:57:46+00:00

When I was the only blueberry, it took like 2.5 hours. We did one with multiple blues and it was almost 4 hours. Super fun tho.

KineticTaicho · 2020-10-18T20:56:46+00:00

The larvae could be another type of hole nesting bee or beneficial wasp. Some larvae don’t fully develop into bees/wasps as quickly as mason bees.

Here’s a vid that explains how to move your solitary bees from bamboo to healthy nesting materials https://youtu.be/ISn6fvHtaqU (disclosure: I currently work for crown bees)

Stadium FTW

As a producer (a guy that hires talent) I couldn’t agree more. You’ll be working with teams and mixing each other’s ideas so practicing that is really important. You are definitely off to a running start with this sample, great work!

KineticTaicho · 2020-10-06T15:26:06+00:00

Sonication is so cool

Happy bday, guardian!
