I named my character pontifex maxi which was short of Pontifex maximus because of the character limit but I thought was priestly enough, until everyone started calling me maxi pad, so I had to get a character name change.

Should have just gone with PontiffFacts, always having pope trivia to put in chat.

I used to play a lot, but itās been years and whenever I tried to play again I sucked so bad it wasnāt fun.
Will be watching and gambling on TI in a couple weeks.

Iāll be watching most of it if the lines are as soft as previous years, but it is in Singapore and will be degen hours.
I only played the original warcraft III addon. I do not like the constant toxicity. I am very familiar with the concepts though.
Itās the most toxic game on the planet. I have no idea why I still play it. The amount of times someone ruins a game 45 minutes in because of one comment is astronomical. Iāve gotten to where I just mute all 9 players by default.
If you can find a group of people to queue with in a 5 stack, you absolutely should. If you play solo queue ranked, you better be lighting fast on the mute button.
I played League for a few years and got to low Plat, but thereās just too many new Champs to learn to play casually.
I still play league for like 10 years now, I play with an old friend though, no solo queue
I am scared to know how much money I spent on skins when I was playing a lot years ago.
Excited for Worlds this year.

My 6 month trial from ATT ran out last month. Iām glad I didnāt reup
Streaming games hopefully is the future. Having a high-end PC that is not in use most of the time in every gamerās home is a waste.
Terra Invictus just went into EA. Itās made by the XCOM long war mod team and is basically like a paradox grand strategy game combined with XCOM and Kerbal space program. Basic premise is aliens crash on earth, eventually detected in kuiper belt. 7 ideologies/factions compete for influence in the aftermath, all with unique victory conditions. You eventually influence and take control of countries while competing with other human factions, colonize the moon/space/etc and fight in space with hard sci fi realistic physics. Iām like 5 hours in, have no idea what Iām doing but canāt stop playing

I think for some games it could be, sure. I struggle to see how stadia is gonna provide a good user experience in a game like, say a FPS, that is extremely latency sensitive to begin with, and now you have a whole extra round trip time and a shitload more data coming through - it has to be slower simply due to speed of light issues. I donāt know a lot about how that works though, just a hunch.
Like, normally, the local client renders the game and just sends the server its inputs and receives info from the server. Now the client is running remotely too - I just donāt see how it works with current internet infrastructure. It seems like extra round trips are going to be involved.
Kerbal and the original XCOM are maybe in my top 3-5 favorite games of all time. And ofc Iām way into paradoxās CK3.

Iāve used both Xbox game pass and Nvidia GEForce Now to play streamed games on my pc and it worked pretty well for me. I played games with 1 player campaigns/story game like Tomb Raider, Star Wars Fallen Order and Guardians of the Galaxy.
