doing cursed bullshit so I can get my RimWorld fix while I stay at my grandad's with only my laptop
jury is still out whether running rimworld on my desktop at home and streaming it, or running it on my aging laptop locally is a better experience
but the former does require less setup, so

@izaya how are you streaming it? I'm not familiar with RimWorld: is it point and click? I've tried streaming a couple games running on Proton--one, a 3D MMORPG, and the other, a 3D adventure game--from my desktop to my laptop before with Steam's built-in streaming tools, but I ran into issues with input/peripherals and one weird camera issue that made both games I tried unplayable.
@2ck I'm using Sunshine (server) and Moonlight (client) to stream it over the internet. It's a top-down management game, so the latency isn't a big deal, but the mouse being wonky is kind of ass. Because my desktop has multiple monitors I have to use mouse translation though :<
@2ck I would be using the Steam Remote Play tools but it doesn't agree with my firewall, as Steam Remote Play supports absolute mouse movement. Couldn't get it working and didn't care enough to mess with it more.
@izaya I feel you. only so much time in the day
I've meaning to set up a wireguard VPN to see how good the perf is in practice. If I can stream Nier:Automata over wg and have it playable, I think that'd be an interesting data point
Dunno that it helped, but if it feels better does it matter whether it's actually different?
