Yeah, I believe basically all streaming setups ends up being three screens minimum, and then after that the next level is to have a dedicated capture/stream PC to capture and record, plus stream the videos from your main gaming PC, to take off the stress on it. ๐

I've never tried a "standing desk", but I do sometimes work while standing up in front of my computer desk when I'm sick of sitting down. I just angle the monitor a bit upwards. ๐

Anybody share their steam library with friends or family?
Gonassis replied to Gonassis's topic in Gaming Forum
yeah, that's probably safe, the same system probably exists on Google play family sharing, and Netflix's family sharing plan too. They just get access. Done. They have their own accounts connected to the main one. -
Reminds me of a documentary on obese children I watched... *sighs every single time the child whined about letting him having more candy food, or sugary drinks, the parent would either give in immediately, or say no for a bit but then still give the kid junk food. the kid was very very fat, and not even 10 years old yet... that's waaaaay unhealthy. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ but parents just let them be. ๐

I got addicted to dumb dirty videos of Indian Street food
Gonassis replied to kingpotato's topic in General Chat
actually tons of cultures across the world eat with their hands. ๐คฃ after all, that's how our ancestors all would eat, no? like the ancient hunter-gatherers. a lot of asian countries also eat with their hands. hint: (it adds flavor) ๐คฃ anyway, there's this youtube food channel that I love watching, it's an american guy, whose name is sunny(sonny?) and he was once very fat, but got sick of it, became fit enough, and then travels the world now trying different food from different cultures. he has a great sense of humor too. check his channel for his vids on indian food. -
I got addicted to dumb dirty videos of Indian Street food
Gonassis replied to kingpotato's topic in General Chat
AHAHA, I grew up in places around asia so I'm used to seeing and knowing certain street food are prepared like that. ๐คฃ indian food are some of my favorites, though if the place is really really filthy I will avoid it, though if there is a decent crowd and the food is good its fine... there's a certain acceptable compromise for me when it comes to street food of various countries. ๐ -
I don't always lose things, but when I do, oh boy do I wish there was a CTRL-F overlay IRL just so I can spend my time elsewhere instead of hunting around for a few hours for the thing that's gone missing. ๐คฃ

it really depends on whether I have money to spend, or if there's something I really really want to put my money towards to warrant my spending. ๐ there's no certain amount or budget. there are soft limits though against overspending. ๐

for me, maybe I tend to play 1 major online game, while juggling 2 offline, or single player games, and some casual mobile gacha games on the side. ๐

I volunteered to be the de facto phone photographer for a group outing once. ๐๐ also, once I helped distribute and pack a donation drive of groceries as a Christmas gift for the less fortunate.

Question about hunting games and wheter are not to play them?
Gonassis replied to Yaramaki's topic in Gaming Forum
for me, the recent deer hunter games and similar of the genre fit in the category of simulators. and from watching videos and gameplay reviews, as a simulator, I'd say they're getting better at feeding me info of "real" life scenarios of hunting. I'd say just off the top of my head the realism inside these recent hunter genre games are somewhere between 60-75% in my opinion. If I'd play these kinds of games, I'd say if I met an actual hunter, this could be a conversation starter piece, although I'd say a disclaimer first of how I'd learned stuff from a game, and I'm a IRL noob when it comes to the real stuff. ๐๐ -
like all tools available to mankind, VR can be good, when used for good with the right goals in mind, likewise it can be also very bad, bad to the level of addicting and could damage your vision, maybe. and we haven't even brought in the sci-fi dystopia scenarios fiction authors present to us yet. after all, at the rate technology is progressing, it's only a matter of time before sci-fi, becomes sci-fact. ๐

welcome to VGR, and although I didn't find out about the internet in its infancy, at least I still got to witness when ASCII art, and text emotes still was dominant across the internet forums, and also "XD" is my favorite emote of all time, I used to end every damn sentence with them on an online chat XD. ๐คฃ XD XD XD XD

I prefer gaming on PC, as in "PC master race" ๐ though I don't mind playing games on any other console or device. hmmm, you like only tecno phones? infinix is also from the same company, just with a different recipe for phone components. ๐
-
hmmm, lot's of people like the Black shark or the ROG phone, I recently bought a "gaming" phone according to the marketing, but I just needed a replacement for my old phone, so I bought a budget gaming phone for around $200~ USD, the infinix note 12 G96. but hey, it's AMOLED. ๐ basically the company who owns tecno also owns infinix, among a few others. ๐ Infinix Note 12 G96 Specs https://www.infinixmobility.com/smartphone/note-12-g96 https://www.gsmarena.com/infinix_note_12_g96-11526.php

yeah I agree with that very much. "educational" games also are a thing, but non "educational" is fine, as long as it's up to the parent's discreetion. which reminds me of an internet cafe in my neighborhood when I was young, GTA san andreas was installed on those PCs and sometimes kids younger than 10 years old would be seen crowding around and playing that. ๐

soooo, I went looking for splitgate mobile and all I found was "it's in development." ๐๐ Source: https://www.inverse.com/gaming/splitgate-mobile-port-release-date-ios-android-nintendo-switch a news article from late 2021. and I found one other guide for splitgate "mobile" which was recommending using GeForce Now to stream the game through my phone, which was not an option, as I don't have the fastest of internet speeds. ๐ https://en.gizchina.it/2021/09/come-giocare-splitgate-android-iphone/ maybe I should just try this on my potato GT630 ๐คฃ

uhhh, remake. ๐ I honestly haven't watched the 80s one.

Reminds me of the time left 4 dead 1, and left for dead 2 came out within the span of a year of each other. Or was it 2 years? ๐ค But to be honest, modding was easier on L4D2 than 1, so there's that benefit. Although I do understand what you mean when you purchased and then boom there's another one.

It's fine to let young kids play games with adult supervision I guess, what I don't agree with is letting kids younger than 5 years old have access to the vast toxic online internet world. ๐คจ๐

How long until you give up on a puzzle and cheat?
Gonassis replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
For me it really depends on what game I'm playing and how much the puzzle factor is. sometimes I'll temporarily give up and come back to it later, but sometimes when I've been at it for 30mins-1hour and I'm totally stumped, I'll just go and look for the answer online... To be honest, there are some puzzles I've encountered that are so weird, they're basically unsolvable, unless you have a very high IQ relating to spatial logic etc. even after knowing the answer I'm like: really? This was the answer? WHY?! ๐ฃ -
I understand your points as well, I know the site that I linked, it's just probably a matter of personal recognizability then... also when it comes to youtube, or reddit, or some of the top 100 websites in the world based on traffic of course people would recognize thouse probably. Also do try out republique, it's a great stealth/story game, I finished it years ago on a friend's PC, though the replayability factor depends on the preference of the one playing, once you're done with the 1st story playthrough. And if you don't know the origin of the game, it's actually surprising that this game was 1st born as an iphone or ipad game 10 years ago? I can't recall correctly. ๐

Professional gamers are similar to the athletes?
Gonassis replied to Nebulous's topic in Gaming Forum
I guess it all comes down to what terminology gets agreed upon then, for me, they are similar because "pro" atheletes and pro esports players are both hired, and need to train for their specific "game" But the difference is, physical sport athletes have great bodies, arguably, esport gamers even though they don't have a healthy body or fit body, they can still play, but that will actually hamper them in the long run as a human needs to be healthy to function. So for me, there are sports athletes, and pro esport players. Different categories altogether. also, "Esports" are now medal games in the 2022 Asian games, a formerly primarily physical sports event. Here's the list of games: Esports in Asian Games 2022: Medal events list ๐ 1. Arena of Valor, Asian Games version 2. Dota 2 3. Dream Three Kingdoms 2 4. EA Sports FIFA branded soccer games 5. HearthStone 6. League of Legends 7. PUBG Mobile, Asian Games version 8. Street Fighter V Source: https://olympics.com/en/news/fifa-pubg-dota-2-esports-medal-events-asian-games-2022
