Playing Hades on a touch screen sounds like a great way to never beat Hades, unless you put the God Mode on to strengthen your character. Still, if it gets more people playing Hades (an amazing game), then more power to them.

Been using this tier in the US for the past couple weeks, and I have had really impressive results – great picture quality, and the latency is essentially imperceptible compared to my local Xbox Series X connected to the same monitor as my M1 MacBook Air I’m running GeForce Now on. To be fair, I am extremely close to the nearest GFN data center (about 60 miles away), so my latency to the server is less than 20ms. If you are further away, your experience will likely be worse.

One issue I have found is that currently GFN caps your bitrate in the app at a maximum of 50Mbps, which is plenty for 2560×1440 at 60FPS, but if you crank it up to 120FPS at the same resolution, the picture quality gets a bit grimy from the extra compression to fit the higher framerate in the same overall bitrate. There are hacky ways to increase your bitrate further in the Windows app, but I haven’t been able to find a way to do that in the Mac app yet. Hopefully they will let us increase the bitrate further soon in the app.

Everything in Windows 11 has pushed me over the edge to switching to macOS fully – I was hybrid, Mac on my laptop, Windows in the desktop, but I have started using my Mac as my full-time PC and plan to get the pro Mac Mini when that comes out. I’m done with Windows if this is what they are doing to that OS.

Because you are literally burning gas (or coal…) to power the network and run that transaction. You pay a high fee and help destroy the planet for absolutely nothing, congratulations.

Doing the NYC leg of the finals at the Hulu Theater is a joke – MSG has always been especially hype for League matches and it would have been awesome to have the finals there, but the Hulu Theater is a fraction of the size and personally I think it is a bad venue in general – weird sightlines and angles and poor acoustics.

I find it hilarious that Spotify has a user feedback forum where there are small feature requests that are years old with tons of votes that Spotify staffers have said "We understand you want this and we will get to it eventually", but when Adele puts Spotify on blast they make the change overnight. Tells you how much Spotify’s UI designers actually care about the users.

I am fine with having a Play Shuffled button – for greatest hits or compilation albums it makes sense. It should not be the only Play button on the page or even the biggest one – there should be a big Play button for playing in order and a smaller Shuffle button to shuffle it.
