Not familiar with software for streaming, but maybe bluetooth HDMI would serve the purpose?

Reddit not being transparent and not having independent safeguards against numbers’ manipulation, I wouldn’t trust their statistics.

Besides here, might I suggest participating in other forums? Some times they get highlighted at !Forums@sh.itjust.works, but they’re still way more plentiful that what gets curated there from my experience. Also if you must still consume contents from Reddit, they still have RSS for the time being.

They don’t show the name of the poster in the feed anymore?

Been using for some 2~3 years now a Nitro 5 laptop almost always set to the Nvidia GPU. Issues are very rare, and some times compatibility is actually better than with the other GPU, the Intel one. Also worth noting I use Linux Mint though, and been some years since I last tested systems based Arch (btw).

RSS helps avoiding part of the BS those “2010’s platforms” put the users through, like curating what you follow, having access to shadowbanned users and groups, and redundancy in case those you follow get banned, “mysteriously” gone from a given platform, the platform becomes unreachable, etc.

Can’t help with so little details.

Also, as others said, @Untamed_Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone, if the game is on a DRM-free-oriented platform, like GOG, Itchio, etc., you could look for those.

Additionally, looking for sources of a given game can help find where it’s less of a hassle to get it, specially through databases or adjacent, like PCGamingWiki, ITAD, NeoDB (fediverse-compatible!), GameFAQS, etc. Also apparently it isn’t uncommon for databases to cross-reference each other, so one can lead to another.

If the game is only on Steam, install Linux on a VM, install Wine in it, run SteamCMD through Wine, download the build you want, and move to your host OS.

SteamCMD is a minimalist/terminal-based version of Steam. The Windows version can be downloaded separately. However, it downloads needed libraries and I’m not sure how good Steam is at escaping Wine’s environment, so a VM adds an extra security layer. Also the command changes depending of whether it’s 32-bit or 64-bit, if it’s for Linux, MacOS or Windows, or even if it’s a previous, still public update, and it’s been some years since I used those and I don’t have the commands noted down, so can’t help with that at least right now.

If something’s allowed to be pirated, it can’t be pirated.

Haven’t seen anyone pissed about this yet, but in case someone appears, lest we forget Ani.Social’s issues with Lemmit.Online.

Beware not be under the influence of Stockholm syndrome, the mental issue of growing attached to someone who does you harm.

Looking from a safe distance, Reddit seems hellbent on destroying their own brand, death by a thousand cuts if I recall the expression correctly. So I wouldn’t put past them to be at the very least very aggressive about IPs.

People should seek to change their local laws to prohibit or severely limit this sort of things too, besides seeking alternatives. If only seeking alternatives, the person should soon run out of those too, if not even be considered a criminal for doing so.

Point 1 I’d say is the central point (pun not intended) of all of Reddit’s posts.

Most other points you list, you can find on the fediverse too. But there, if a certain aspect displeases you, you either have to endure it if it involves an aspect you want to interact with, or you potentially need to sever a rather big chunk of their network.

Here, specially if you use hybrid platforms thanks to tags besides communities, you get to lose very little in comparison. At worse, make a secondary community if one’s not around yet, use tags, and/or post to a miscellaneous/random topics community.

Context: this is a community mention. Makes it easier to find the community across instances.

Directly, not familiar with any (unless you’re willing to mess with SBC Android), but I would try using AntimicroX, a program to remap controller keys as keyboard keys and mouse commands, and then set it to auto-start.

When everything’s data that could be harvested for who knows what nefarious reasons, I’d rather not risk their “can’t read” to be actually “pretend not to be able to”, specially coming from Microsoft.
