Anybody do any cloud gaming? As a Linux user, I lack access to a reliable Windows gaming machine, so I rent one through paperspace, and pay 40¢ an hour to stream gameplay though parsec to my Linux desktop.

I've been playing a lot of Subnautica lately with it. How about you?

So it is actually working better these days? Tried it a few years ago, was utter crap. No good client implementation, latencies and input lag of hell and pictures that look worse that youtubes compression

I used the Liquid Sky free trial :D
It was pretty good. I could play with only 60ms latency.

Yeah, until pretty recently rolling your own AWS instance was just about the only way to make it work, along with an (imo) elaborate setup with openvpn, to use steam in-home streaming.

The most complex parts of that have been replaced by the existence of parsec, a rich remote access app that provides low-latency, high definition streaming, and runs on almost everything.

From there the only issue is finding a hosting provider with a relatively proximate datacenter. This is easy on North America, second easiest in Europe, and I don't know, elsewhere.

I wish my internet was reliable enough for this to work. Sometimes it just randomly slows down a lot and then works fine again after a while.

Some links, just FYI.

How do you stream through a parser combinator library?

@host127001

No idea what that means. Can you explain a bit more?

@bahua there is a haskell library called parsec for parser combinators

Ah, yes well then. Very funny.
