Correct, so long your device supports streaming video like Youtube, you may use it.

How could it be? Im sure everyone here is no stranger to automated systems being fucky, if anything giving the user the choice is considerably in favour of them. Besides, im subject to the same system as in my region, I got access to unnocupied servers due to time zone differences.
Well, that makes sense for the most part, but there’s the important detail that there are streaming services that grant you a fully uncontrolled rig, I just cant think of any that are free. In fact, Geforce Now used to do this, until legal issues arised from a clause being extremely specific making users unable to legally play on a device they werent physically in contact with, real shitty but allegedly not Nvidia’s fault or the cloud streaming service as a whole.
Im seriously intersted on how is Cloud Gaming (in the way Geforce does it) part of the “you will own nothing and be happy” issue, im not saying the trope isnt real, im saying that I cant think how does it fit into this concept. On my view this is akin as going into a Cyber Cafe you could walk down the street anyday, you dont own anything either but your money’s worth isnt sailing without you receiving what you paid for
So I got the email today and I just want to share my experience.
Im with NVIDIA on this one, let me explain. I’ve been using the service for the past 2 years (half of it’s lifetime since release 4 years ago) and I thought to myself from the get go “this is unsubtainable” and that I would have nowhere to game on high performance after they inevitably shut down the free plan. I was wrong, and this does translate to a good experience
To elaborate, queues in free tier have 3 states, the first one being “go grab a snack and you’ll be back to the game launcher” which is when the queue has a little over 100 people that took up to 10 minutes to clear, this has been the most common in my experience due to my region’s timezone being the most far apart from the people in my continent (America) and thus I get to play when most people arent and such the queue is very accessible
The second state is “everyone is asleep you get in immediately” which I just happen to incur into every other weekend I devote to gaming till 4 AM (which would be like till 9 AM for the rest of the continent)
And the third and most uncommon scenario I have face is “A game is very popular right now, everyone is playing regardless of timezone” which has happened a number of times I can count with my both hands, the most recent one being past september the servers were so saturated it took hours to get in even at night time of my region. THIS HOWEVER DID NOT STOP ME FROM USING THE SERVICE, why you may ask, well the answer is more “how”, because the service allows you to pick manually a region to play in, I instead of defaulting to my local server, manually chose one in Europe, and sure enough Europe had many available servers, I could play in again like if it was the first state, this obviously came with a slight increase in input delay but given the PvE nature of my games, I went unbothered with it. Until things calmed down on my region and I could go back to my server
Conclusion is, GFN Free Tier is absolutely worth the cost, and having abused the shit out of it this is good news, it means they really dont intend to shut it down for the foreseeable future which is the most important part, but also it might improve thanks to the generated revenue where there previously was none. Unlike Youtube and Spotify this seems to be non-interruptive which is welcomed as well, obviously you cant just pause a game midway for an ad, they understand this is not how things work.
I mean, the more revenue free players can generate, the more reason they have to keep them in
If you otherwise think queues will be shorter because people will quit over disgust of ads boy do I have news for you
You can get it, and you have to watch no ads, as of right now, it’s been 4 years running like that im sincerely apalled this is breaking in now, I would have thought the current form to be unsubtainable long ago but i’ve been playing on the free tier 2 years by now
Eh I usully cant, being sleep deprived reality really feels like a dream but things still function, in dreams I usually cant tell which is terrible because I have a tendency to die/watch loved ones die in them… and even then I wont wake up from either event
Boooo, they said “I” not “I’m”
Just a tiny correction, sinester in spanish is “Siniestro”
I use LibreFox, btw
I… dont see how that’s related? Informed opinions dont have/dont need to be from my friends
But I have invited some friends to Lemmy, sure.

I cant believe an actually informed comment exists on this thread, everytime Milei pops on here its an Article calling him fascist and everyone on the comments agreeing to it
Lemmy, much like Reddit is extreme far left mostly, they’ll jump at throats for as little/as much as you did here…
5 Thousand Hours in Warframe, by it’s official metric (for that the game counts actual Second to Second Gameplay, not AFK-ing in Menus or just logged in) which should roughly translate to at least the Triple with the game just opened (as Steam would track it) The fun part is, im liekly a shrimp compared to Bigger fish on my pond
I am talking about the 2019 Elections, but you are looking at the Official Exchange, which nobody goes by (or rather should go by) because it is an imposed rate by the Government which they Buy on but LIMITEDLY sell on (limited to basically nothing) so is there for scamming tourists (reason why Google suggests when travelling to Argentina to do your exchanges on the Black Market) not to be representative of the Market
For the actual Value you should always refer to “Dollar Blue” and you can see on that same date the historic change was of 10% (half as much as the post day of this elections)
Granted, i’ll give it to you this current decay is lasting longer, but i’d still pass it as unrelated (even normal) considering there’s even less faith on our economy than back then and the results being even more polarized being 50/50 on 2019 and here it’s 30/30/30, basically a shattered country
And just for finishing off, the last 2 Governments (up to the Kirchner you mentioned) are both Left, the right has not governed Argentina for at least 20 Years now
When they inevitably return to Power
They already did, its the current government, and no they did not. Lets hope they NEVER get elected again.
Ding ding ding… You cracked the code
Should you also know people DONT WORK and are also Paid by the government to live (known here as “Planeros”) in fact, 52% of our Adult Population is not economically active (not working nor want to work) because of this governnent support that allows them to live without it. A misery life if you look deep into it, but without education they just dont know better or cannot access to better
Assuming you read my entire parent comment… what would a sensible default do in that case? Put me in a less crowded region compromising quality as I mentioned?
