Remember, when you cloud game, the company is taking on nearly all of the burden. Power bill, hardware to run the game, maintenance and replacements.
This is why I dont see a big future for this that doesn't spiral in cost to the end user. How can they ever turn a profit with services like this?

For me, physical media is still my favourite.
Music, movies, games, books.
Right now im playing whack-a-mole with AI generated songs whenever I try to use YouTube music... I feel sorry for the real artists out there.
It's more valuable than ever to curate for myself.

It's kind of extraordinary to think we'll probably live to see the arrival of free, abundant electricity. One can only hope that someone's attempting to invent artificial replacements for natural minerals necessary for batteries. As such a revolution can NOT once again come at the expense of Africa.
The race is about who moves faster towards renewables ⚡️⚡️

I feel like console start up animations or even game boot idents are completely meaningless now because every TV does that (Source detect) HDMI bullshit for 15 seconds nowadays.
I dont think I've even seen the PS5 one yet.

Just had an online order of clothes arrive, including some shoes and they all actually fit.
Do they vary massively in fit despite being marked as the same size? Still yes but this is nontheless a miracle.
