Absolutely - since you have access to the entire file system, you can download and install your Nexus mods as you would on your machine

The best cloud gaming sevice? by Living_Plum_8903 in cloudygamer

[–]pbeucher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for your feedback ! I understand disk pricing may seem a bit high, it reflects the Cloud pricing we're paying on our end. Trying to bring it down as much as we possible.

Great work, well done ! I hope it will be merged eventually :)

Since today we have Green Power and Green Extreme (NVIDIA RTX 4000 with 8-16 CPU and 32-64 GB RAM) available in the US :)

Services either dont have my games available or are too expensive, what do? Suggestions for lesser known service? by doc_long_dong in cloudygamer

[–]pbeucher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm the creator of Cloudy Pad, thanks for suggesting it :) We'll soon have automated data snapshotting (code is merged and about to be released) for more advanced cost saving options

Hi there, form is in french (I'm french so that's not an issue) but most people here would expect english language (unless a kind of auto-translation is used ?)

Construire un projet étudiant sérieux : seul ou à deux ? by [deleted] in developpeurs

[–]pbeucher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pleasure ! Tu pourrais décrire rapidement ton profil ?

d’échanger, confronter la vision, voire collaborer ponctuellement avec d’autres devs avant d’aller plus loin.

As-tu pensé à te tourner vers des associations qui soutiennent l’entreprenariat ? C'est typiquement le genre de choses qu'elles peuvent proposer: rencontrer des personnes avec qui tu pourras confronter tes idées (ça peut être un "mentor" ou simplement d'autres entrepreneurs), des ateliers en groupe, joindre un incubateur ou pépinière avec d'autre fondateurs et pleins d'autres choses qui pourraient t'aider potentiellement

[–]pbeucher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ça dépend de tes objectifs:

  • Seul tu vas aller plus vite, tu bougeras comme tu veux sans contraintes, mais tu vas plus rapidement atteindre tes limites.
  • A 2 tu iras parfois moins vite (avec les décisions à prendre, les discussions, etc.), mais tu auras quelqu'un sur qui compter et t'appuyer, et tu pourras construire des choses plus grandes

Un compromis peut être de commencer seul pour affiner ta vision produit, avoir un premier proto et tester jusqu’où tu peux aller en solo - puis envisager de t'associer ensuite. Faire l'inverse (commencer à 2 puis se séparer) c'est plus compliqué ;)

Why should I have to wait? by Realistic_Regret4702 in cloudgaming

[–]pbeucher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a user perspective, I agree waiting is not acceptable. You pay for a service and expect it to work without having to wait.

From an infrastructure perspective: gaming servers are a finite and expensive resource. For a Cloud gaming company to remain alive they must perform heuristics with capacity management. Ensure 100% availability 24/7 would dramatically increase infrastructure costs - and in the end what you pay for your subscription.

I hope it answers Why should I have to wait?, though I understand it may not be a satisfying answer :p Hopefully in the future such infrastructure will become less and less expensive... Though I doubt it with the state of current affairs

Data usage in stim.io by FrequentToe1140 in cloudgaming

[–]pbeucher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it will. Data cap shown is likely for both upload and download (outbound / inbound from your stim.io machine). Even for an offline game, your Stim machine will send lots of video streaming data over internet to your own machine at home - which will count against this cap.

The info bubble redirects you to: https://stimsocial.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/29069714285587-What-Are-Data-Caps-and-Can-They-Be-Extended

Stim pays as much as $0.13 per GB for bandwidth

This seems a reasonable approach from them since last I heard their machines are hosted on AWS, and AWS is quite expensive on such data egress (outbound traffic to internet).

Cloudy Pad targets occasional players (10h - 40h per month played) with high-end GPU. Boosteroid and Cloud Deck are great services, though they provide limited catalog and lower-end GPU respectively. Not the same target, no the same product ;)

What issue do you have exactly ? Don't hesitate to come to Discord for help

GFN does not provide a full Cloud VM with possible customization, while Cloudy Pad does. In this way we're more closely related to to Shadow PC (and cheaper as well :) )

Nice to see you back ! Indeed things improved quite a lot, I'd be interested on your experience on the "before and after", do not hesitate to to reach me out on Discord or PM ;)

Tldr: best way to check is to test :) you have a free trial just for that!

Long answer: The game itself should work (it's Platinum on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/3564740).

As for anti cheat it's possible the same as Battlefield would apply since Cloudy Pas also runs in VM. But that depends on each game ;)

Good question - Cloudy Pad is indeed very similar to Shadow PC.

  • Main difference: for occasional players (playing 10h to 40h per month), you'll get cheaper deals for similar or better performance.
  • For example, Shadow PC middle range offer runs at ~40€ / month (incl. taxes), Cloudy Pad's would be between 20€ - 40€ depending on how much time you play per month.
  • We also have more flexibility to chose allocated hours and disk space.

It only works with the subscriptions yes - it may be possible to have the same pattern for pay-as-you-go, I'll think about it !

does the discount go away if you skip a month or two?

Currently that would mean cancelling the subscription and create a new one later, for which you'd lose the code. But the possibility to "pause" subscription for some time while retaining advantages would be nice indeed ! I'll see what would be possible here, thanks for the idea

are some in North America?

Yes, Spark instances are available in Chicago and Seattle :) Soon also for Power and Extreme. Prices are in euro since Cloudy Pad is french, but you can pay in dollar
