Quoting: grigiI really consider cloud gaming very bad for preservation of art.
Much the same with audio/video streaming.
The "cloud" has proven itself unreliable in that regard.

audio/video is less of an issue, no one has perfected DRM on it, so unless something is live and the DRM isnt broken before the transmission is finished, its an non issue.

but games on the other hand...

i hope its not too late for stadia, its being massacrated by the digital influencers on youtube...

and valve doing an partnership with nvidia is an big issue, honestly i will keep buying my games on steam since stadia is not avaliable on Brasil yet (wich is a shame, i cant wait to have it) but if it ever comes to Brasil, i will be really confused on what platform i support...

(yeah, i know you folks write Brazil instead of Brasil)

update:
holyshit

i counted the games, 53 games for an platform that exist for ~7 months... that is too little...
i know they promissed 120 games until the end of the year and 450 for the next years, but...

Quoting: ValckDoes Godot run on ARM machines?
The website says it "Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The editor runs in 32-bit and 64-bit on all platforms", but I suspect that means all *x86* platforms?

EDIT: Looks like it might <https://godotengine.org/qa/search?q=raspberry>

afaik no, but some people may have ported it, some times is just a matter of recompiling, the main issue being:
the performance will suck, if you dont adapt the code manually in some parts.
in any case, there is an web version now, so you may be able to run it if you/someone host it remotely (there is an official server too) the main issue is that you need an nightly version of chromium or firefox.
and the performance impact once again.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: elmapulunity . . . are moving away from POO

Surely that's a good thing?

in terms of performance, it is, but i'm an indie developer, i wont be making an game that uses 100% of the cpu any tine soon.
so, learning an new model will be pretty much useless for me.

Quoting: GuppyBetween the name and the version numbering It took a embarrassing amount of time before I realized this wasn't an article about Ubuntu xD

lol.
that reminds me when i was at college of game design, and the teacher started talking about Unity.
i was like:
wait, really? they will teach about an ubuntu tecnhology? it has being used for making games?
nope, it was the engine xD

i dont remember the timing, but maybe it was closed to the time that SteamOS was announced, if it was then, i was REALLY excited thinking linux would be hot topic on the college.

unity and godot are my favorite engines, but currently i'm just using godot.
unity droped support for their pseudo javascript, they are moving away from POO (and i dont know anything else =p aside from shaders and non programing langs like html/css) and i dont have time to work on more than one project at time especially using different engines.
