Been using Memmy on iOS but used to use Sync on my Android device. Now I got that and using it more and more. Love the customization features on Sync and this is the first time I truly didn’t miss Reddit.

caught you in 4K

Explained way better than I hahah. Comparatively, developers of his caliber should be making $200k a year salary (though the market has cooled recently).

I guess best way to put it is imagine Sync Reddit had 10,000 subscribers with each paying $10 lifetime. You’re netting $100,000 for those signups.

Now the dev time hasn’t changed (in fact I’d say it actually increased as he has to research and test with a brand new API), and now his potential subscribers have decreased dramatically. To accommodate for that you need to charge a lot more as the developer is expecting only ~1000 subscribers.

Logistically I’m really not sure how companies can promise a consistent experience with input lag considering you have to live close to data centers. Unless they’re gonna build them all around the country lol. Their tech for streaming I feel is very inferior from Nvidia and Even Stadia at the time.

I think for the next at least half decade, it’ll be a supplemental perk to GPU and nothing more. I don’t see it ending traditional game ownership just yet. Unfortunately the way digital purchase has been so widely adopted, we’re already halfway there. The used game market has slowly dwindled over the years.

I have the ROG Ally and I’m loving it. I’ve always been a console gamer and this finally converted me.

Honestly that’s fair. There’s way less of a subscriber base here, development time is expensive, and you need to foresee circumstances for the future (look how many people Apollo dev had to refund). Sync is also such a great app, I’m personally just using the ad version at the moment on my android phone (and this is from Memmy on iOS). Sync is still one of the best apps I’ve ever used and keep an android phone just for it.

So far so good :) appreciate the well wishes

Luckily yes ! Been almost two years married now actually lol was going through my phone and found this

I think we’ll see that now with Ubisoft getting involved. Still blows my mind that BioWare hasn’t made a Star Wars game recently considering they’re responsible for KOTOR (then again who’s still around from them?)

It’s great to see them making more Jedi games rather than something that is more GaaS bs. It feels like the gaming industry is finally finding a middle ground between the two. The PS4/X1 generation really felt like it steered way too hard into live services at the detriment of many studios (BioWare with Anthem, even Arkane with Redfall recently) .

Great what you’ve all done with the place. This is definitely one of the livelier and engaging communities I’ve seen on Lemmy so far.

Yeah that’s pretty wild. Guess these will be the hiccups before Cloud Gaming really becomes mainstream.

The input lag alone is a dealbreaker for me. After I bought my handheld I’ve stopped using it all together

I think this is still my favorite movie of the year so far with Spiderverse (haven’t watched Oppenheimer yet). I’ve been so tired of MCU movies and this gave quite a breath of fresh air. High high recommend.

How I’ve felt for almost 6 years now lol. It’s good to see action and I’ll support it in whatever way, I just don’t get my hopes up anymore.

The Steam experience is actually pretty great on the Ally. They have the big picture mode which works really great.

Only through cloud which leaves a lot to be desired.

I love seeing more competition in the PC handheld market. I personally have an ROG Ally and it’s been working great (I don’t have an SD card though).

I feel like at this point Microsoft needs to create a big picture mode setting for their Xbox app. I have GamePass so it’s been a struggle to navigate using handheld controls. Then I switch to Steam and it’s big picture mode is great to use and smooth. Shame Microsoft doesn’t have something similar on their own OS. Armory Crate isn’t bad but doesn’t hold a candle to Steam either.

Haha yeah LG has a very complicated UI. Their OLED TVs are definitely worth the premium though. Surprisingly my favorite UI is Samsungs in terms of simplicity. They have the one ribbon on the bottom with the streaming services.

I wonder if they’ll crackdown on the old titles as well. With the acquisition all but locked , I feel MS will try to promote a lot of the older titles on GamePass which will definitely experience a massive boost in popularity.

This is the End
