They are nuts

2020-05-01 17:28:53 UTC  

That new gen shit is neat

2020-05-01 17:29:08 UTC  

Pretty much a gaming computer lol

2020-05-01 17:29:20 UTC  

But cant upgrade things as the years go on

2020-05-01 17:29:40 UTC  

Its basically a main stream steam machine that works

2020-05-01 17:30:05 UTC  

I kinda widh the steam machines would have taken off

2020-05-01 17:30:47 UTC  

I wont be surprised if consoles just become more like PCs with their own line of proprietary upgrades

2020-05-01 17:31:01 UTC  

Like the One to the One X, but you can upgrade parts

2020-05-01 17:31:14 UTC  

They are too greedy for that lol

2020-05-01 17:31:27 UTC  

I can see where the differences in generations of consoles will get more generstions of PC parts

2020-05-01 17:31:47 UTC  

An older system can play newer games, but theyll only get worse and eventually just unsupported

2020-05-01 17:32:16 UTC  

With how much streaming of games as a service is coming up i feel itd coincide a bit better...maybe

2020-05-01 17:32:41 UTC  

The game streaming looks good

2020-05-01 17:33:19 UTC  

Forreal. Even for me with very limited internet, id pay monthly like Netflix for just renting games.

2020-05-01 17:33:27 UTC  

Console companies purposely make their consoles non-upgradeable

2020-05-01 17:33:33 UTC  

Because the price would likely wash out to how we have it right now.

2020-05-01 17:34:24 UTC  

It would be neat to bring pc gaming to more homes like consoles

2020-05-01 17:34:41 UTC  

Streaming you can basically use any shitty pc

2020-05-01 17:35:20 UTC  

Ehhh, debateable.

2020-05-01 17:35:30 UTC  

For good streaming and gaming, you'll want a good PC

2020-05-01 17:35:58 UTC  

@Sparrow Console companies purposely make their consoles non-upgradeable.

planned obsolescence

2020-05-01 17:36:35 UTC  

It's so you always have to buy the next-gen console in order to play new games. More money that way.

2020-05-01 17:37:52 UTC  

Yup, that tradition is in large part due to the lightbulb corps.

2020-05-01 17:38:24 UTC  

Making lightbulbs that only last a certain amount of hours

2020-05-01 17:40:52 UTC  

N64 had the 256mb upgrade around the time Donkey Kong 64 came out. I remember having to upgrade it.

2020-05-01 17:41:27 UTC  

Maybe 128MB?

2020-05-01 17:42:11 UTC  

The ps2 had an upgraded WiFi chip

2020-05-01 17:42:24 UTC  

That allowed for you to be able to play online

2020-05-01 17:42:38 UTC  

The ps2 thing i had was a stand alone box

2020-05-01 17:42:55 UTC  

Cant remember how it connected tho

2020-05-01 17:43:42 UTC  

I believe it was actually inside the console. I can’t remember shit I was like 7 😂

2020-05-01 17:43:45 UTC  

PC gaming for all. I agree, but then you need internet for all. Guess ole Musky Poo is working on that one though. Government's got the five ghee on lock.

2020-05-01 17:44:10 UTC  

@Hopefully Heroic Starlink is already up

2020-05-01 17:44:29 UTC  

I seen it a few days ago, 60 satelites in a row

2020-05-01 17:44:39 UTC  

Its 30$ a month for 12 meg

2020-05-01 17:45:24 UTC  

I counted 31 satellites in a row laying in my hammock on 03/24/2020

2020-05-01 17:45:53 UTC  

Can confirm it was awesome and terrible

2020-05-01 17:46:02 UTC  

They have several options for speeds up too 100 meg i think

2020-05-01 17:46:18 UTC  

Its going live for beta in the north this year

2020-05-01 17:46:55 UTC  

I use PDANET to hide tether and run phone as modem. I live in sticks.

2020-05-01 17:47:22 UTC  

Well starlink may be a option
