TIL that the Tarantula Nebula, a region in the Large Magellanic Cloud over 160,000 light years distant, contains the most luminous known star. The nebula’s luminosity is so great that if it were as close to Earth as the Orion Nebula, the Tarantula Nebula would cast shadows on the ground. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar…

(Only works in a dark area with dark mode) Put your finger on a cloud and move your finger up and down the screen at medium speed. Watch as the shadow moves up and down.

Cloud gaming in the uk android best service SHADOW?

Hi guys. Not sure how many here are based in the uk or even if your not If you could help me.

I want some cloud gaming on my android device. Not after online play just some good offline AAA games that work with my steam library.

I tried vortex a few months ago and the service was unplayable laggy as hell on a 35mb download.

I have since moved house and I now get around 50mb connection.

I have seen shadow but yet to try seems quite expensive. Anyone had any experience on how it handles (preferably uk) as I'm not sure where the closest server is in the uk?

I did use the GFN apk but that seems to have stopped working, shame as the service was very very good for me.

[WP] You see that mountain, whose shadow dances across the bottom of the sky in the light of the setting sun? Whose peak cleaves the clouds like an axe? Who greats the dawn ablaze with glory? That is what remains of your father. That... and you.

Speaking of PC’s, this is an extremely minimalist, frugal PC setup. It’s an Acer laptop running a cloud PC by the name of Shadow. Essentially, it allows you to access a gaming PC from the cloud. Latency issues here and there, I couldn’t be happier with the program! GYOW, brothers!
