This is a brilliant way to get around spez's threats. The subreddit is open, the moderators are moderating, and any result of the poll is just the will of the community.

Interesting. So when I'm connecting to peers for downloading, these connections can be initiated in both ways? And since I'm not currently port-forwarding, this means I can only actively find peers, rather than passively accepting incoming connections?

Huh, I've been using a VPN for torrent without setting up any kind of port forwarding! Can someone explain why you might want to do this?

Cool, I learned something today! Thanks :)

That’s very cool! In general, assuming a game runs well through proton, how’s the gaming performance between Linux and the same hardware on Windows? (You mentioned 1% lows are better, but what about average?)

I’m not super familiar with proton so I would think running in proton has some performance hit; is this not the case?

Yeah, I liked swimstrim too back in the day, but I think there was some drama with him... and since then it seems like he just disappeared off the face of the earth.

I see, thanks for clarifying! Even without port-forwarding, I'm able to make some connections. Is there just a more limited set of destination IPs I'm able to connect to? What dictates whether or not I'm able to connect?

Yeah, I agree about MajiinBae. Alan is definitely interesting to watch from a strategy/gameplay perspective, but sometimes it can get a bit dry :P I'll take a look at those other streamers, thanks for the recs!

There's a whole bunch of stuff like this! Looks like this website has been collecting / recreating them: https://elgoog.im/

One of my favorites that I remember was "Zerg Rush" (https://elgoog.im/zergrush/) which was a tribute to StarCraft.

I’m not sure why you would assume this is AI art, it looks very different than the AI art I’ve seen. In particular, a lot of the hard lines and consistency of shapes is unusual for generated art.
