Stadia Still Has No Point

firsties!

As someone who works out of town and in a camp, I am really hoping that Stadia does ok. All I have in my room at camp, is a small tv, an ethernet connection, and a bathroom. A laptop is an expensive push for up here but Stadia (if it works and has games) is the solution I am looking for.

The sabbatical did Bruce great, he looks so refreshed. Just kidding, good to see Zach in more things. He's got the great voice for his reads.

I’m staying with my PlayStation

This feels like such a circlejerk of wanting to shit on something just to shit on it. 'Stadia still has no point". Really? What? Portability, it's pretty obvious. Like, the whole episode, they're talking about "I'd just sit at my computer and use my games on a hard drive, why would I want to do it any other way?" while at NO POINT bringing up the Nintendo Switch, an absolute FIRE SALE of a console in the current generation, and had it released alongside the PS4 and Xbox One would EASILY be the crowning console of the generation. Why? PORTABILITY, as well as a robust game library of course since it's Nintendo. Stadia is trying to push forward the capabilities to play games that are normally too intensive to be portable. With how prominent Nintendo Switch has become in the gaming space, there are still videos dicking on graphics on Switch simply because it doesn't have the hardware to run it well. However, here's Stadia providing you the graphic fidelity we WANT to see, and the barrier is latency. With that said, it's only a matter of time before latency becomes a minimal, even non existent issue just as any other previous gaming limitations were in the past. Rest in peace, OnLive, because they were pushing this idea forward WAY before the capabilities were there, but Stadia is in a different generation, with a more accepting industry of the concept, and has a chance to maybe not become the standard of the industry, but something that will push companies into embracing and putting resources behind the idea. Like, the only real negative here is latency, and that's only a matter of time before it gets worked out, especially if more companies begin looking into how to remedy it

Yeah I prefer my physical copies and consoles.😊

When will we see Evil Lawrence again, or did Lawrence and Evil Lawrence have a fight to the death where the stronger one became the definitive Lawrence?

"You're either 17 or 42" that had me laughing longer than it should've!! Truly enjoy the insights and two cents you guys provide! Also, could Stadia just be Google shopping out their "Tech and Services", so that if it doesn't work, Maybe one of the Big 3 can scoop them up and try to combine Stadia's tech with the library of one that's established?

Does anyone every bring up the point of Data usage? I know my cable is capped at 1 TB, ~$85 month, and can add another $50 for unlimited. When I played AC:Odyssey when they were testing Google Stream, in 3 days I had hit over 200GB. Meaning the cap would have been blown away if I played more. Every video about Stadia doesnt address this as most people are not gonna buy into Unlimited before this service releases. Unlimited is usually a "i know I need it due to past experiences."

I'm like Adam. xbox fo life!
