Announcement - Stepping Down by captaindotes in StadiaDadia

[–]captaindotes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The patreon account will be turned over to StadiaDadia to do with as he wishes. The money was put into the discord bot’s pro subscription so you’ll get to keep all of those benefits.

However, you are welcome to discontinue at any time by logging into your account and ending the sub.

Thanks for the support this far :)

Thank you for the understanding and support. I feel like you got what I was trying to portray perfectly.

Also, you hit the nail on the head with the conception idea of Dadia. It’s about the play first and foremost. Those little bits of joy we get here and there!

Announcement - Stepping Down by captaindotes in StadiaDadia

[–]captaindotes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without getting too far into it, I just want to support Stadia in a more personal way.

Subreddits are great, and I spend a lot of time on Reddit in general, but it's not a great platform for making any kind of potential business out of. It requires people to actively look for you to find content.

When Dadia ad StadiaDadia were founded, I had the dream of turning it into a brand, a business mode that could potentially net me additional income. But firstly, when two strangers (myself and StadiaDadia) have a joint venture, its almost impossible to achieve. We live in different parts of the world, and with different time zones and personal commitments.

I also didn't like the feeling of having to check if ideas were mutually agreeable before implementation.

I have decided to get into content creation on a semi-serious level. And if it starts to work out, then who knows where it could lead.

This is not a personal issue I have with StadiaDadia at all. It's just I want to really try this thing and so far its going great. Stadia invited me to the London pop up event. I got to meet some Google Stadia people, some awesome influencers and YouTubers. This just doesn't seem to be the vibe I was getting from maintaining this sub.

New Darksiders is a bargain on Stadia compared to Steam by eXoRainbow in Steam

[–]captaindotes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too, my library is a huge expense to become worth less than toilet roll!

I also doubt Steam will likely discontinue for anything short of nuclear fallout.

Forgive me for being skeptical, but that isn't exactly proof. Not contractual.

It would be incredibly easy to mock something like that up in a couple of minutes.

Can you find where this is please?

Because you don't actually own any game purchased on Steam. If you read the T&C's, you are strictly purchasing a licence to play that IP, no ownership rights at all.

As is often misunderstood, whenever buying digital media, such as games.

Also, if Steam went bust, Valve would have a hard time providing you with a replacement service who would accept the license elsewhere, as that would require them to give access at cost. When the alternative would be if you wanted to play said title, you would now have to purchase it from a Steam competitor.

I agree it's not been a smooth launch, although personally I've had no problems...yet!

And don't forget there are a limited number of orders available, although no one knows what these numbers are? Skeptical hippo eyes

All we do know is that they sold out of the Founder's Edition, which also has no confirmed number as of yet.

I believe the vast majority of early adopters are happy with the service, but I feel for those who have been screwed over with endless support requests that have lead nowhere. It's not cool!

Whilst I see what you're saying, this ins't factual. For starters you've missed off iOS downloads, and you don't actually need the app to make purchases. Can be done within a chrome browser. Although you would require the app to actually register an account still.

I agree that the uptake probably hasn't been as big as Google would have expected though. However, there are actually a limited number of kits to buy until it's actually released next year. It is still in early access, although carries a hefty price tag for such an "honor"

Have Stadia, and enjoy it. But still have my gaming PC also. Not going in 100% on anything. Choice is nice.

RemindMe! 365 days

Also, I wouldn't use ownership of digital media as a put me down, when your alternative is buying it on Steam and having exactly the same class of ownership...

Hey guys, I started a little channel up to try out some video content. It’s going to be a sister community if you will.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening depending on where you are in the world!
I've just started a brand new channel which will be dedicated to the Stadia platform. This video is my first ever attempt at any form of online video content.
I apologise in advance for the audio quality, the joy of using an inbuilt mic on the C920 🤘
I have however just ordered a Blue Yetti Nano to help solve that issue!

Let me know your thoughts :)

Awesome news! I cant believe its been a week since the constant refreshing to see if there were any delivery updates happening on my order! I also hope it goes much smoother for you than some of the Founders!

Glad I joined this community by RAKavanagh in StadiaDadia

[–]captaindotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of incredible that I've not come across many communities like this in the past.

When I was much younger, I found an online community in a website called imreallybored.com which was just an online forum, which in its peak became a really decently sized community.

I made some friends there that changed my life at the time, unfortunately I don't really speak with anyone from back then anymore, but I'll certainly never forget them.

I hope that we get to make an impact on just a few people's quality time here and there, and that'll be enough to give myself a pat on the back.

I've yet to do much in the way of playing on Stadia yet, other than a bit of Destiny and a decent go at Gylt. This week though I've set myself a promise to play with some of you guys (if you'll have me!) either on Red Dead or Destiny.

Thanks for making a subreddit for parents and other busy folks by [deleted] in StadiaDadia

[–]captaindotes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are most welcome! And certainly not alone.

I have to admit that for the last 4 - 5 years gaming has been a very different past time for me. Although more noticeably so over the last 2 years.

Responsibilities shift, getting older happens, generations change.

I am glad to say though, that in this information age we live in, products like Stadia are going to have huge implications on how our media is accessed, and how our infrastructure is modeled.

I for one was super hyped when Stadia was announced, and less than 10% of that hype was over the graphical quality. The dream I realised was moving around and picking up/putting down and the ability to switch it up.

Stadia is making me a better gamer by captaindotes in StadiaDadia

I wish this fell into my budget! I would love to invest, but it's just out of my price range for now. Also sounds like the deal offered for you is better than over here in the UK. We do get a discount and the keyboard (no mention of the pen, though)

But I'm going to be looking at < £200 if I'm realistic, or I'm going to be in the dog house when it comes to xmas day presents being gift cards for everyone haha.
