I’ve been getting into mass effect trilogy finally, and since I don’t own a gaming pc, I like to play through GeForce Now.

Well, just now I had some things come up a couple of times a row and I quit my game a few times, and now I can’t continue because of some sort of lock mechanism against playing on multiple computers…?

Did not know this is a thing, but I have a few vacation days and wanted to get this series properly started, so it’s a little bit annoying. Who knows how long I have to wait?

Ugh…

Edit:

Talking with EA support, they informed me that the wait is 24 hours. Jesus christ that is long for something like this. There goes my vacation day opportunity…

Edit2:

Wow! The customer support really pulled through, suggested they request a password change on my account from their side.

Turns out, this seems to toggle that flag, and I could now start the game! Hooray! Akash, my man, you saved the day! Cheers 🍻

You wouldn't steal a police man's hat

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Only because I don't want to be mistaken for a policeman.

Yeah I have one of those, it works pretty good for mining doubloons and is pretty nice all around except that every time another computer gets near it, my pirate computer has these little cannons that come out of the side vents and BAM it starts firing volleys. Can’t play LAN with other friends or anything it is annoying, I am kinda worried it is gonna find out about my smartphone and attack it too.

Can buy one with the money saved by pirating

All these people can't read apparently. Just about every comment is like this.

It's a hate on not only DRM, but all paid services pretty much

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Subscriptions to death, that's where we are and it's only going to get worse

How is a mobile workstation with little disk space no computer at all?

Seems a bit rough to understand:

"I don't own a GAMING PC."

"Mass Effect should run fine on weaker PCs"

"I only have a mobile workstation with little disk space"

Do you get it now?

ChatGPT, explain it to em like I'm a lobotomized 2 year old.

True, this landscape is changing a lot lately though with handheld PCs making them no longer out of reach for some.

I'll admit I'm ignorant to this but how do you use GeForce now? Is it streaming? What is it streaming to?
