Classic-Rando's Posts

And yes, my games room is an absolute mess, I can't get anyone to do the work on it, you don't have to point it out, I see it every **bleep** day!

I have a Philips 65OLED806 that plays stadia in beautiful 5.1 through my Nvidia Shield, Sonos Arc, sub and surrounds, through the eArc port on my TV. What I find strange is the native app for the TV can only play dolby stereo, or pcm stereo, no matter the amount of settings fiddled with, seems to make a difference. Is the base android TV app unable to play 5.1? As I use my shield for almost everything else, but as I'm sure you know there is no HDR on shields, so I just want to use the android TV app, my sonos Arc, sub and surrounds through the TV with eArc hdmi 2.1 socket. Let me know what I'm missing if you can. Thanks Rando.   Edit.  I can't even get stadia to play 5.1 from the shield now, the best I can get is dolby digital plus 2.0? Any help would be appreciated.

@TuputtShakur I tapped your "kudos" tab, I'm tired of seeing my criticism of Stadia, I had such high hopes for it when it started, but it was badly managed from day one, and seems to be run by a team of incompetent buffoons. Take my little faux pas today, I miss read the announcement and when I wrote my comment I thought the new pro games were, well, you read my comment. I'm not a stranger to advertising, I used to own my own company before I retired, and you always start a written advert (this week in stadia is an advert) with the big news, or something of note, now what would you consider the bigger news, pro games like Saints Row and Dirt 5, or the addition of paid games like a 7 year old Jrpg that cost £15 in 2014, and will last you a whole 10 hours of almost decade old entertainment and Peppa sodding Pig? This just shows you that whilst yes, I did make a mistake, and misread the post, but the post was badly written and hardly made me want to keep reading, hence why I gave up on it after the first section. For those of you who wonder why I still come here with my "negative posts", it's because I want Stadia to succeed, I've been watching it since before release when it didn't even have a name, it was "project stream", and ideas like software other than games, and mouse and keyboard support were being floated, along with "your favourite games". In reality, Stadia has remained deaf to the cries of it player base, and has taken months to sort out problems that could have been fixed in days, I've seen players go from ardent stadia fans, to forgetting that the platform even exists, and I've seen the player base shrink daily due to the problems that have, and still plague the platform to this day. The only thing saving stadia at this moment, is its integration with Ubisoft plus (which is the best move stadia has made since release) and the die hard fan boy, yes men who just post "awesome news", "lets gooooooo!", and other meaningless platitudes because there is often nothing genuine to praise. Anyway, it's late, and I'm tired, I was just notified of your post by a friend who I talk to very frequently on Stadia whilst I'm making my way through the ubisoft plus catalogue, and I thought it funny, naive, and actually worthy of a serious reply. So now you know the reasons for my "negative posts" if I'd have given today's post a full read, and actually given it my attention, I still would have posted in a negative way, though I'd have given them credit for Saints Row etc, however, the paid games are just painful. As a last thought, if people like me didn't say "we're unhappy with X, and Y needs to be implemented yesterday, Stadia probably would still be without a chat feature, because there is a staunch brigade of hardened fan boys who applaud anything and everything, and when reading feedback, Stadia would think they have the best made, best run service the world has ever seen. I give credit where it's due, and I give criticism where it's due, a lot of people have a problem with the criticism, but love the credit, funny world isn't it. 
An 2014 Jrpg, and a child's pig game! Are you trying to do badly on purpose? But don't worry, the usual crowd will tell you that you're doing great when your player base is in the toilet.

@Chuyqwerty I'm all ark'd out now, but thanks for remembering me, I might have a quick jump on there, but it occurred to me a while ago that Stadia Ark will be unmodified servers only, and without mods, the replayabilty of ark is absolutely destroyed.

Why reward the people who have been loyal and kept their subscription through all the nonsense Stadia have thrown at us, no, a far better idea is to reward the people who never joined, or those who left, with 3 months free if they have a YouTube account. Those who have a current subscription, well, they get nothing!   A great lesson in how not to run a company. 
Streets of Rage 4,or its alternate title, Portland in a couple of months. 
@TuputtShakur Percent   Edit, of course this post goes on page 2 🤦
I'm getting really sick of US only special offers, ubisoft +, free stadia for this, free pro subscription for that, but not for us Brits. It's about time you had similtanious launches and events.

I was full of praise last week, and rightfully so, so I'll be on a criticism free couple of weeks for keeping the future Ms Rando happy playing RE VIII. I'll simply ask when stadia are bringing the Ubisoft + deal to the UK? I'm not going to buy games I already own, and have previously had access to on Stadia, all just because I'm in the UK instead of the US at the moment.

@Chuyqwerty That's awesome man, I'm really happy for you, you seem to be in a similar situation to me, so I bet you do really get how I feel, I thought a long distance with someone at uni doing their masters was difficult, I couldn't imagine a different country, it must have been tough, but the payoff must have been amazing when you saw her walk in your house, knowing that she's staying forever, that's honestly great. And thanks for listening, like I say, I'm halfway to just telling people I pass on the streets , so it's nice to tell someone who understands. Take care my dude, you sound like a lucky man, I hope you live a happy life, and keep you wife happy, she's priority number one!

@Chuyqwerty @ Next thing I have to do is book the church for August (it has to be August, it's a zodiac thing, I don't give a crap about the zodiac though, I can't even remember what sign it is, but it's ok, she knows how I feel), find a caterer and buy the bridesmaid dresses and all that frilly nonsense that women tend to want, I'd be happy with a civil union, but you got to keep her happy, that's your first priority if you show your spouse that you support them even if you don't believe whatever, or care about whatever, then you get repaid emotionally ten times over, money is made to be spent, not to sit in shares and bonds or property forever I'm happy with what I have, I'm not going to be stingy so I can basically be Scrooge and say humbug to spending money. I worked (or gamed in the little free time I had) all the hours god sent from when I was 16 to 40 and had no time for relationships or family, and now I have time, a beautiful fiance who is baby crazy like me, so I can finally have a family, and listen to hopefully 2 or 3 children laughing and crying in my house. Then after that, I need to decide what country to bring up the kids in, the UK or the US, I say US, she says UK, so negotiating time is around the corner. Basically I've got some hugely important life changes to make in the next year or two starting now, and I couldn't be happier. Sorry for the rant but I'm happy, and I'm telling anybody who'll listen, 25 years of dedication have paid off, and finally I can get the family I've been wanting for decades!

@ChaosTheory I criticise when I see problems, but I do give praise when it's due, still think I'm just here to troll the forum? Or are you willing to accept that I'm just honest about stadia, I'm not just someone who ignores all the problems and says let's gooo every week, it means nothing.   Oh PS, read the above comments that started from last night.

Ok, so I already own RE village on the PS5 and my rtx 3090 pc, it's runs OK on the PS5, but obviously is far better on the PC, it's beautiful, and smooth as butter I bought another copy of Village on Stadia last night for my fiance who's currently at uni and I thought I'd see how it runs on Stadia, and I have to say I'm impressed, it runs almost as well as the PC, probably on the same level as the ps5, nice work stadia, keep this quality up, also, the intermittent lag that used to drive me mad seems to have stopped, so I assumed you've fortified your network, good job, no criticism today, just well done, you made me and the missus happy, good job.

@Chufu Thanks, that's going to really please her, and if she's happy, then I'm happy, I think everyone has seen my criticism over the months, and some people, think I'm just here to troll the forum, and I said, when stadia do something good, I'll give them the praise they deserve, and this is a good thing, very handy and has negated the need for me to buy a new console or PC to send, just to play one game, and then be put in a cupboard, now I can just send one of my many controllers and a CCU, this is good. Keep it up, I will give credit when it's due.

Ok, so I've given stadia one last go, my soon to be wife is at uni, and she wants to play Resident evil village, and only that, she won't let me just buy her a console because she wouldn't use it apart from resident evil, and she knows I have like 7 Chromecasts and now there is a family function.  What I want to know from the community that I criticise so much, is that have they done something good with the family function, can it be used from 2 different Wi-Fi addresses, or do they all need to be connected to the same router? Please give me something to praise stadia for, and tell me I just didn't waste money buying a game I already own twice. 
No, even though this debate goes back 10 months, and was flagged by an admin as "valuable feedback", nothing, unfortunately, has been done,. 
@Chuyqwerty  You clearly know what is important in life, onlyfans FTW!
