With the talk of the next generation of consoles having super fast drives I kinda hope the PC versions of games that'll be on them won't suffer if you don't have an equivalent drive.
I do have an SSD, but my motherboard doesn't have one of those newer faster connectors.
An SSD should be enough, even if it's not m.2 or whatever.

You can pick two/three stats to be really high at in Shadowrun Returns, IIRC, and they'll be the deciding factor on what skills you'll be good at.
But for best results, you kind of have to have one of those be Charisma to get more dialogue options (this is more true with the sequels).
Not sure how effective non-dedicated Hacking is, late game - it felt like one of the things you're supposed to all-or-nothing on. Magic-wise, I remember there are low level buffs that are useful even late game (Haste?).

yeah this is just consoles catching up to PCs of like... 8 years ago.
The PS4 and XBONE should have had SSDs, but they were a little too new at the time to be price effective.
Spent an hour or so with Indivisible yesterday. So far the plot isn't knocking my socks off but the dialogue is entertaining and the combat system is pretty neat.

Swipe right for the brand new crazy physics-based dating simulator, Table Manners! Tonight's the night, you've secured a date and you're off to the most glamorous restaurant you know, there's only one problem - you're a disembodied hand with a knack for catastrophe!
seems like surgeon simulator, but for dating
I hope your dates become more reactive by the time it launches, they're a little static right now
It makes SSDing these games hard.
4tb platters are dirt cheap nowadays, like $60.
But a 1TB SSD is around $100, and 5 of these games would fill one.
So suddenly moving these games to different drives becomes part of PC maintenance.

Well the obvious solution would be to sell the games on their own storage platform, one that you could just plug into the computer when you wanted to play it.
West of the river, it’s funky-baby holocaust time all day every day. In East-Jamrock, wild animals roam the valley at night – giraffes that escaped from the Royal Zoo 50 years ago. Giraffes – even-toed ungulates from the savannah. The local kiosque chain Frittte (sic) employs a private army of 2000 men to guard its properties in Jamrock and Faubourg. That’s how bad the crime rate is – you need a private army to run a kiosque chain. And deregulation? They built a citizen-funded primitive nuclear reactor on the river. And it immediately entered core meltdown. That’s pretty deregulated if you ask me. Below Precinct 41 there’s a kebab merchant called Kuklov who makes kebabs that make you immortal if you can eat three and survive. In Villalobos an entire street is walled off and turned into a poppy field by a deified gangster called The Mazda, while his mortal enemy La Puta Madre exclusively employs former narcotics officers to farm his own fields. Through underground tunnels, kids descend into Le Royaume, the resting place of three centuries’ worth of the royal dead, to bring up rat tails and the pearl-encrusted teeth of civil servants. Child labour dungeoneering is a cottage industry. Someone came up with a synthetic opiate called the hunch that has a high lasting for two seconds. You only feel it while you’re injecting it.

we already have external slots for that shit too
just blow the dust off the connector and then slam it into the slot
Google is now claiming that Stadia will have "Negative Latency", by predicting what buttons you are going to push before you push them.
Its example for this is fighting games.
They're claiming its going to predict, two seconds before you push it, what button you're going to push
Either
1) They don't know what the fuck they're talking about and this person is just lying
2) It will be wrong most of the time and make playing the game feel like shit
3) it will be correct, always, and you won't actually play the game at all, it just does it for you
I can't wait for Google to develop the technology to beam the experience of having played a game directly into my brain without me ever actually playing it
Maybe that way I'll finally get around to Witcher 3

Google could be overselling or underexplaining their solution, but that's basically what GGPO is
The system tries to predict what you're going to do, if the guess matches up great, if not it rolls back to the most recent accurate state

This seems like a juiced up form of client-side prediction (something that's been around since the Quake 1 days), except powered by THE ALMIGHTY AI.
client side prediction was for what ways other people moved on your screen not your own movements though.
and the rollback is inevitably less jarring because it's not the character you're controlling.
It's for your own movements as well. One thing it tries to solve is to make your inputs responsive, so when you push forward you move immediately instead of waiting for the server to acknowledge that you in fact have moved.

So several years ago, some friends were in town and we were all just hanging out, drinking and playing Dead or Alive, random character matches. There were only two controllers so we were doing the loser rotates out thing.
After one match my friend holds his hand out for the controller. After a bit he's like, "Dude Tofy, my turn. "
"No, it's not. I won. "
"Noooo you lost."
"What? Hayate totally won that round man."
"Yeah, but you were playing Zach."
*sounds of confirmation from all present*
"Guess that explains why I couldn't quite get the combos to work. "
I can't wait for Google to develop the technology to beam the experience of having played a game directly into my brain without me ever actually playing it

I could be wrong, but isn't that essentially Twitch (or other streaming site of your choice)?

Can you ride it through a cold river to get it down to 85GB?

I wanna make it clear that I was not actually saying it was awesome that they did that, in case the sarcasm somehow did not come across
I remember my mind being blown when Half-Life required a whopping 400 megabytes of space
I only had a 1 gigabyte hard drive! What am I supposed to do?
Google claimed that Stadia wouldn't be an issue for data caps because internet providers would "take care of it"
And we all questioned if Google knew what the fuck it was talking about?

"Negative latency." Might as well tell me the Stadia is going to generate more power than it uses.
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
GGPO is a similar idea but way different implementation
This is saying its literally gonna just push your inputs for you
They are claiming it will be faster and more responsive than local hardware
Could be a jojo reference
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
