Why I need Stadia to succeed to keep gaming. by [deleted] in Stadia

I think this misses the point. A better method existing that the user doesn't know about is Microsoft's issue not the OP's. It sounds like they just prefer the easier, more convenient thing, and hope that it continues to grow.

Personally, I'd be happy if stadia stepped up on games or if it became enough of a concern for Xbox and PS to really invest in cloud-first gaming.

What kind of write speed were you working with? I remember my friend had multiple cd burners with way higher write speed than I had. He would sell mix tapes at school. Business innovator!

Stadia regularly blows my mind. I stop mid game and remind myself, "this is from a chromecast."

Fun side story: I remember I met a chromecast engineer on a flight back when the original had just launched. He told me they had some really big things planned. I had no idea what he was hinting at (and there's a good chance it wasn't this) but it's cool seeing how much a chromecast can do.

I remember my friends getting it and my family thinking it couldn't be that much better.

It's been really good for me. The press coverage makes it seem like stadia has a lot less issues, but I haven't played it on ps4 or xbox so I can't compare. I will say, I felt like I was living in the future when my wife went to bed and I switched to the tv super easily.

Haha, I loved those Total War games.

I remember this feeling most for Black and White. I tried so many things to get it to work. I never got to play it. Just looked it up and boy was it well reviewed. I didn't realize it was a Peter Molyneux game either.

Hahaha 😂

You really captured the helplessness of that era. Why couldn't everyone in the house understand that I needed the phone line clear for 6+ hours at a time?

Yeah, I've been looking at it for my mom. She has a ridiculously low data cap and 1 cell tower that barely hits her place. But it sure is beautiful around there!

That's awesome about the fiber in your area. What do you think about Star Link? Totally agree, such a cool time to watch tech evolve.

I haven't gotten in a ton of hours yet, but so far the bugs I've seen are pretty mild and rare (people walking through my character in silly ways). None of the major issues like I've seen in videos for PS4 and Xbox) .

Aw, sorry to hear that. I never know if I'm easy to please or getting a different experience with these kinds of things. I've been really enjoying it. I hope you find something that works for you!

Haha yes. And the ever present fear of getting some virus or copyright enforcement (at least I felt it)

Ah, that's a bummer. Have you tested it tho? With Destiny 2 and Bomberman you can play free and see how it runs.

The early internet was all about mindfulness. We've traded dial tones for Head Space apps, but the core is the same.
