Why is this not bigger news?!

We having a great deal of trouble keeping up with all the piff breh. Every time it's time to eat, damn near a buffet of food in front of us, not everything gets eaten in the same setting.

This is all I've ever wanted, for it to feel like the whole of Microsoft gave a shyt about gaming.

So time out...

It's really true that the Series X can serve as essentially a steam box now because of GeForce?

It's not worth it. GeForce Now really needs a membership to take full advantage of it. There's better solutions to use Steam in another room that don't cost fees.

Yep, i played through the first two on steam and played through the trilogy again on ps4.

I swear I’m the only one who checks Stoic’s twitter and message boards bi-weekly to see wtf they’re doing.
