In today's episode: Meet Mitchell Orcino & Kyle Bradshaw, two longtime best friends who decided it was time to replay the game series that first brought them together, Kingdom Hearts. Together, we'll...

I'm so mad at Google Discover right now. I know for a fact that I used the filter to disable trashy Screen Culture videos from appearing, but now they're back and that YouTube channel filter is gone.

I hope Google's next Nest speakers are a bit smarter and able to work offline. It's so frustrating that a mid-night internet disruption will stop my Nest Audio pair from playing sleep sounds. It's playing the same hour-long file in a loop for 12 hours, why do I need internet?

I like this band, and I probably could have just continued to wear only the Active Band if it didn't irritate the skin around my wrist.

Review: Gamevice Flex is the definitive mobile and cloud gaming controller

Gamevice Flex officially launched yesterday, and it's easily my favorite game controller for phones on the market today. Nothing beats a full-size gamepad, but this is a solid, portable compromise.

The Gamevice Flex rises above its own gimmicky design to become the must-have controller for mobile and cloud gamers alike.

I mean it's definitely worth $60, so whatever, but still.

Bought it anyway the next day. Today it's 50% off on GOG and Epic. why do I do this to myself?

What piece of Made by Google tech needs to get a "Pro" upgrade next? My vote is for a "Chromecast Pro with Google TV," but "Nest Audio Pro" has a nice ring to it.

If you're not familiar, the iOttie iON Wireless Duo has been my favorite charger for well over a year. It holds your phone up at a helpful angle like the Pixel Stand and also has a perfectly sized second pad for the Pixel Buds. The perfect bedside charger.

With Fuchsia having clearly taken over the Nest Hub series, it looks like smart speakers are among the next frontiers for Google's operating system. Looking ahead, there are signs of a possible Nest speaker for 2023 in the works.

I played *a lot* of Cyberpunk 2077 with this controller while out sick last week. I think this will continue to be my go-to controller for the foreseeable future. If you like cloud gaming, the Gamevice Flex is absolutely worth the $99.

Searching for Stadia: A prelude, or remembering what was lost

Oct 20

In a way, though, writing this first edition was a good way for me to (I suppose) "grieve" the loss of Stadia and accept that it's time to move on.

Future editions of this series will focus on how effective other cloud game streaming services are at replacing Google Stadia. I've only got 90 days left to check out quite a few Stadia alternatives. Wish me luck.

Quote Tweet

While it may be time to move on from Google Stadia, before we do, I thought it might be good to remember exactly what it was that made Stadia worth believing in. Join me for part one of a series I've entitled Searching for Stadia. 9to5google.com/2022/10/20/sea

Before looking for new cloud gaming apps, it's important that we appreciate what it was that Google Stadia offered that made it truly unique.

Throwback to when Google said they were working on 8K, 120+ fps streaming for Stadia.

A slide from Google's GDC 2019 presentation, where Stadia debuted.
The slide reads "The future. Up to 8K, 120+ fps"

It's been so heartwarming to hear friends say they'd like to replay the whole series too, joining us on this weekly journey. I honestly don't know how the "book club" analogy didn't click for me sooner!

We strive to make each episode better than the last, and I've got some *kooky* stuff planned as I take Mitchell on this journey through the many games and side adventures that comprise the Kingdom Hearts series.

I haven't been talking about it a lot (it's been a busy couple of weeks), but I'm really proud of the work

@Mitch_orcino
