  • Obviously this is antithetical to this community, but when Stadia was a thing, it was actually really amazing. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on release day with a shit PC blew me away. I’m not sure how it worked in Australia, but the lag was only noticeable sometimes, and never was a distraction or took away from the game play. GeForce Now is ok, but they need to support your game, and then you need to purchase the game + have a subscription. I know Stadia got a lot of shit, and also had a limited catalog, but it actually got me to buy cutting edge games, sometimes on release day, with no subscription.

    For me, piracy is not about cost, but more for combating anti-consumer behavior by corporations. Say what you will about Google, but Stadia was actually a good product. I guess it’s just good they killed it before they could enshitify it.












  • I’ve played Pokemon on and off since it’s release in the 90s, but one of the best Pokemon experiences was that two week period in the summer of 2016 when Pokemon Go came out and everyone was playing it. It was the perfect thing at the right time, and something I don’t think can ever be replicated again.







  • Turns out hiring a cab for your pizza is expensive, who would have thought. Personally when ordering out, I always choose pickup, and fortunately can bike to most places to pick it up. If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.

    The alternative isn’t an open platform, but maybe prioritizing 10 minute city in urban environments where you don’t need a car to get/deliver everything you need
