Quoting: Kels"Nor" sounds like "Nord", Skyrim confirmed!

I have a more sound Skyrim theory. Above it was mentioned the picture would be from a bus on route 68 which seems to end at Russell Square. Looking at people named Russell in the voice acting industry I found Stephen Russell who voiced some dude in Skyrim. Bam, confirmed.

Quoting: WorMzyHas Samsai escaped again?

At a summer cottage at the moment, so that would be a "yes". Going to be back by next Friday though.

Quoting: razing32Really feel sorry I missed the live stream. This would have been awesome in real time.

Well, the best moments are in the video. What isn't on the video was mainly just me dying over and over again and eventually succeeding.

This is a fantastic piece of research right here. Mad respect for the guest writer!

Quoting: natewardawgIt looks like this was fixed within the last few hours. :) Can anyone else confirm this?

Can confirm. Feral titles now launch without using the compat libs.

Quoting: DolusThe streaming itself is functionally DRM. Not to get all Stallmanist about the matter, but if you're running things from the cloud, and it's not your cloud, it's basically an unbreakable form of DRM.

You need to have access to those games before you can play them with Parsec, so I just don't see the point you are trying to make. You could download a bunch of GOG games onto the cloud PC and your DRM-free access to those games doesn't just disappear. Plus, regarding the "your cloud" thing I quote the following from this very article:

Since you can run your own server for Parsec...

Quoting: DolusUh... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "game streaming" basically the most potent form of DRM that currently exists? I can't really get behind this.

Except that what you get is a Windows environment where you can install your games (presumably from any and all sources). So there's no more DRM there than when you play games on your own rig.

"Threadripper" sounds super badass, I gotta say.

Quoting: danyskQuestion: do the games run for you if you just run Steam as:

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam

without altering your installation with compatibility libraries? Looks like the Steam runtime ships the old version of the library, but it does not get loaded as the host library are preferred.

That should work, as I tried loading the OpenSSL libs from the runtime and that worked. However, loading the whole runtime means reintroducing the good old libstdc++.so incompatibility for open source AMD drivers which means Steam will stop working entirely. You can probably preload system libstdc++.so and then go with runtime libraries but it's going to be a bit of a mess regardless. So, you might as well use compatibility libraries for SSL.

Quoting: GuestGotta love and good pun!

Just you wait, for tomorrow we shall dine in Punhalla! Or Sunday next week, but that's beside the point.
