Just looked that up and it seems to be entertainingly weird. If it’s cheap I could be tempted to get it. Also according to the Steam page there’s a sequel called N1RV ANN-A coming next year.

Warning: I'm bringing game streaming chat back.

So I picked up a Shield TV to run my Plex library (I dislike leaving my gaming PC running 24/7 and am pretty sure the hard drive is on the verge of dying). It works well for that!

But what really surprised me was that the Shield TV comes with something called GeForce NOW--a cloud streaming gaming service. It's in free beta, so gently caress it, I gave it a try.

It comes with a bunch of games for free (basically a best of the early 2010's: Tomb Raider, Saint's Row 3&4, the Batman Arkham games) so I fired up Tomb Raider and, uh, wow. If there was any lag, I couldn't feel it. Visuals were sharp and crisp. It felt like my gaming PC was plugged directly into my TV. Actually, the visuals we better than my gaming PC, but that's not really surprising considering that I have a 650 Ti Boost.

And this was over 5Ghz WiFi, not Ethernet. Granted, I have pretty drat good internet (300Mbps, the Shield TV sees speeds of ~205Mbps) but Nvidia claims anyone with 50Mbps or better can get 1080p 60fps.

So cloud gaming can totally can work. I don't know what black magic Nvidia is doing to make it work, but they are.

Yeah, Cloud gaming fundamentally works in optimal conditions. Has done for quite a while now, and 5GHz wifi between your system and the router's also not going to introduce much latency. The big key factor is forever going to be what's between your home and the rendering farm, which is why it's not A Thing anywhere.

Hollow Knight question - Hornet and I killed each other at the same time during our second fight, and I "won", but when I got back to the room she was gone. Does she have any dialogue there that I missed or does she just run away? I'd be bummed if I missed out on story.

It's going to be the same on the eShop; there was also a tweet about how Europe will score double gold coins for their purchases. Dunno if that applies to NA.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
I know that the stuff in collector's editions is usually useless trash, but a calendar? That doesn't even have nice big art like a regular wall calendar? That's impressively useless

I finished Blaster Master Zero and got the good ending. It was a whole lot better and easier than the 1989 version, but enough nice tweaks (like actually giving out gun power and a power up that lets you get hit without losing it) to make it a really polished game compared to its NES counterpart.

Thanks guys for the rec
