I just want to see the German talk show where this was said. Sounds fun.

It's funny to me that we are not looking at the market beyond Sony Microsoft Nintendo.

Retro gaming handhelds for emulation are on the rise and large swaths of the market are gravitating to them. There is growth in gaming but it's actually a growth in piracy. No one likes the new stuff.

Honestly always online DRM is illegal. You cannot provide a good a service. All these companies who are planting these time bombs into software and devices need to be handed a big FU and realize that they are creating the piracy they claim to protect against.

I like Valve, but I don't like them enough to believe they won't close my account on a whim for no reason one day.

I mean a few of us are still ... Android, Chromecast (Android TV), Google One, Google Suite, Google Mesh, Nest (the few products that remain).

Google is collapsing because we are not the customer they serve (anymore). We are the product.

They have spoiled all the good will their brand has which means they are vulnerable to competition.

Im pretty sure this method utilizes RDP. I'm thinking about getting an Intel ARC380 GPU for PCI-E pass through to a windows VM and doing the same thing. I've tested this with an Nvidia Tesla k80 (though it's not a very practical card to have on a desktop). You should be able to get enhanced performance out of the VM if you enforce video encoding on GPU via group policy.

The only downsides are :

  1. passing certain peripherals through RDP fails on Linux from my experience (for example, USB DAC, Xbox 360 USB controller). Your mileage may vary.
  2. absolute mouse position doesn't work over RDP so don't try this with any games that need a mouse for camera control (fps) it simply won't work. If you want to game, lookingglass would probably be better for that but I haven't tested that yet.

Steam users are the base everyone desires to get to but no one wants to pay the toll to Valve for building the platform gamers want.

I just found out you have to PAY for your prison stay. $50 dollars a day. What the actual hell?!

No one can undo years of economic turbulence in three years. Everyone feels like they're being gaslit because they are. The patient will bleed out before you finish applying the first bandaid.
