Any secret sauce Nvidia uses would be in taking shortcuts to capture the screen and send it directly to the encoding timeline. The time it takes to do this without any secret sauce is negligible compared to the two slowest processes in the pipeline: video encoding and sending the data over the internet.

Sunshine is actually often more performant than Nvidia due to improvements in the slower parts of the pipeline.

Here are some discussions on the topic:

To me, story-driven games are a bit like reading a book, but with the ability to make decisions.

I also quite enjoy games like Celeste where the sheer challenge is the main appeal.

I enjoy the mechanics of games like Smash or League of Legends, but playing online is always so awful. It always feels like I’m either way better than the other team, or the other team is way better than me. And if there’s any sort of communication (e.g. chat in League) it gets so toxic. But I don’t want to turn chat off because occasionally people actually use it to productively share information.

But even in Smash Bros, where there is no chat and Nintendo turned off emotes in an attempt to reduce toxicity, people still find ways to be toxic.

I’d play against people IRL, but League requires 12 people and in Smash Bros I’m at the uncomfortable place where none of my friends want to play against me because I’m too good, but I’m not good enough to go play in tournaments.

While I still feel like I want to be good at these games, I’ve been trying to stop lately because they just make me feel awful.

I have a 4k120hz gaming monitor and I have some HDMI cables that don’t support that quality.

I also just use DisplayPort because it’s better anyway (e.g. lower latency).

I prefer co-op but the times I can play don’t always line up with the times my friends can play.

My favorite games are things like Destiny, Minecraft, Helldivers, and Terraria, when I have friends to play with.

When playing alone, live service games can be ok, and competitive PvP is about the worst experience out there.

Single player games are often a much better experience than either of those.

It needs a movement to get more signature. If you believe in it and are in Europe, go encourage your friends to vote. Gather some friends and make signs. Buy ads.

Destiny 2 logic.

Most bosses are just bigger versions of standard enemies. They do have some lore to explain it, but it’s still kinda just goofy.

How come even in 2024 with 4k HDR 120FPS video cameras on smartphones in everyone’s pockets, the alleged videos of Bigfoot are still complete mush?

I don’t even see a bear in that video. It’s not clear there’s anything besides trees. It’s just a big dark blob.

It may have originally had DRM but it doesn’t now.

Also the internet is the primary attack vector for most devices. I don’t have to worry about someone hacking my devices that just do their job and don’t have internet connectivity.

That being said though, the internet-based devices in the article are simply becoming non-internet-based devices, so my suggestion is kinda a moot point.
