  You can Google your city and distance to closest GeForce Now data center or other video game streaming service. I’m like 300-400 km away from a data center hosting geforce now

  Depending on location. Same city 3 years ago no data cap. Current neighborhood first had a data cap that had overage fees or pay an extra $50 a month for uncapped. Now with a service provider that does throttling after a point during congestion

  Depends on how close you are to the server and your Internet connection. For me when my Internet isn’t having a bad day, the latency is good even for twitchy shooting games. I wouldn’t rely on it for a competitive game full match length, but anything single player is good. Pretty much anything that isn’t super fast paced twitchy is good. GeForce Now is how I first tried Cyberpunk path tracing. Worked great

  I remember trying out games on GeForce Now, Gamepass, and Luna around the same time. GeForce Now and Luna latency wasn’t a problem for me. Gamepass was frequently really bad

  I’m not subscribed to anything anymore. Just wanted to try them out

  GeForce Now performs well but it’s already seeing further limits put in place. Gamepass already saw price hikes. Amazon Luna has a terribly small library. Smaller players have to buy GPUs, memory, and processor’s too and contend with AI data center induced rising power costs. Plus data center location matters a huge amount and that’s still a work in progress for game streaming services and a lot of the world

  Plus my Internet throttles after like 1.5TB a month. Fine for ~15mbps Netflix. Not so good for ~100mbps game streaming. Others have data caps or overage fees. There certainly are those with uncapped/unthrottled internet. I wish my neighborhood had that

  Game streaming is going mainstream going to get worse short term too. Mostly pricing and worse usage limits

  A midrange phone these days are power competitive with a PS4. Makes more sense for Steam’s future support android APKs because of the Steam Frame to make way for Steam to be an Android game store and devs target Switch-PS4 hardware on the low end and PS5 mid/high end. Don’t even entertain the idea of a PS6 level min requirements game for a game releasing this decade. Probably not even for the first half of the 2030s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a PS5 that I rarely turn on. Everything ends up on PC. PC handhelds better than a PS Portal. To phone streaming everything supports. Playing PC games on Android is a thing now. Switch handles party gaming. No replacing Mario party/kart/tennis/strikers/golf. Nintendo IP party games are OP

  What I’m interested in are the insights the PS5 will give into PS4 architecture. PS5 is backwards compatible and seeing what the PS5 does to accommodate any problematic games in BC. PS4 emulation over 5 because 4 is well along. PS5 is deep in the no console exclusives era. Early PS4 still had semblance of third party exclusives and Japanese games skipping PC

  I unplugged the PS5 Ethernet port just in case I ever want to do something in the future. I doubt it besides possibly future of running Linux on it. It’d make a great gaming PC someday as a gift. People always talk about exclusives as a reason for consoles. I play way more games on PC that aren’t available on consoles. Too old and abandoned. Too indie so it may not show up for years if ever on consoles.

  Hopefully the Xbox series X gets jail broken someday too. They’d be great values for gaming PCs

  Picked up Eastern Exorcist. Got it for free for Android from epic but no gamepad support. So now I buy the Steam version for gamepad support. Solid game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do buy new games even full price on rare occasion. Regardless of that, there’s nothing new games do much better than old games besides graphics and that mattering declined hard once league of legends, counter strike, fortnite, minecraft, roblox, etc became people’s childhood to their ongoing adulthood games. I’ve met people that haven’t spent a dime on genshin impact while having played for 5 years

  No one is missing out on the best 2025 games if they’re playing the best games of 2015. Time is finite and if it’s filled with good, what difference does it make if it’s new or old. You’re not missing out if you’re playing the best games of 2000-2014 in 2025.

  I follow emulation on Android communities and people love playing the greatest hits of the PS2, Gamecube, DS, 3DS, PSP, Vita and it seems to mostly be teenagers. And now we’re getting good PC emulation support and PS3 and X360 support is progressing. Switch on Android emulation is pretty good now. Android, Steam Machine, Steam Deck, Steam Frame, Legion Go, Rog Ally, GPD Win, Ayaneo. Even Switch 2. The relatively low power gaming scene is growing and that bodes well for “classic/retro/oldies” gaming.

  It’s been 12 years since the PS4 launched. Early PS4 games don’t play much different than 2025 games. The classics oldie radio station of games are soon going to be very modern. 2007 Bioshock era games are already very modern and look pretty good too

  Darksiders bundle and Halo Master Chief Collection.

  Sifu. Not that old but cheap enough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam winter sale is now live⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  After 16 years of sales, my library is filled to the brim with almost everything that goes 75%+ off that I would want. It’s like 3 games a year now that I don’t already have finally hitting the impulse buy range for me. Outside of that, fanatical and humble bundles round out my let’s buy a game id never otherwise buy and try

  Worst physical hardware and software sales since 1995 so far. Switch 2 won’t be its first holiday next year and potential price hikes from storage and ram next year

  This is nice. I’ll switch over to this from Beacon. For Gamehub, the icon doesn’t load. Once that edit the tiles, then I’ll be able to fix Moonlight, the PC streaming. Everything always scrapes it to some random game with Moonlight in the name

  When Mozilla first made a mastodon instance was the first time I tried it and didn’t like it. Tried it recently and it’s meshing better with me than before. Just need more people on it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In single player games where there’s fall damage, I always mod out fall damage and carry weight limits. I don’t care about realism especially when it’s selective realism like in video games. So in that sense, in single player games I’m cheating all the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best vertical games on Android?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A 3DS emulator like Azahar or DS emulator like MelonDS both of which are on the Play store, and play a Pokemon game or anything turn based. Play it vertically. Different puzzle games
