You’re talking about two different things though: game subscription and cloud gaming. Game subscription is what allows you to access tons of games by paying fees monthly/yearly. Cloud gaming on the other hand, is playing games without them installed so you don’t need to download them. Xbox Game Pass just happened to include both of these in their plans.

Theoretically, you could find a subscription plan that does not include cloud gaming, so you would have access to the library, but you need to download the games to play.

I’m writing this because while you obviously need to pay for a subscription, you could actually set up your own cloud for free (check out Moonlight and Steam Link). You download the game on the PC, start the streaming software and you can play those games on your other devices, like a laptop or even a phone!

Same. My printer probably doesn’t have internet capability. It has a USB A cable that I can just plug into. Simple, and it does its job well.

Could you elaborate more? My printer doesn’t use internet at all and I would just plugg that into my laptop whenever I want to print.

Joke asides, why would you open ports on your printer?

The only reason you should ever cloud gaming is building your own cloud, e.g., with Moonlight, Steam Link.

Not sure about divergence, but there are definitely a lot more interesting posts now. I’ve tried fediverse (kbin) when the reddit API shit happened. I’m a gamer and there weren’t many interesting gaming posts at the time so I returned back to Reddit like a week later. This time with the Discord bullshit I gave fediverse another try and it’s so much better now. It’s still not as many compared to Reddit but at least there are actual content I enjoy scrolling.

It’s easier to use. Besides Matrix e2ee is opt-out, and lots of public room disabled that.

Created an account on Stoat and Matrix. So far I prefer Stoat as it’s easier and more intuitive to use.
