I've played 100 hours of Elden Ring streaming and the difference between steam and moonlight is night and day in my experience. Steam struggled to hit 60fps streaming (definitely not the computer's fault: it's their streaming codecs or something) while moonlight is rock steady 60fps.

Without constant sources of distraction -- I'll have to come to terms with the consequences of my actions and experience guilt
Figured I'd interpret for everyone here.
The internal politics still haven't recovered from January by all accounts. They probably won't recover until Sundar is gone.
Yes but others are talking about steam streaming, which is also my comment here.
It's tangential but worth calling out in this discussion, especially as you can do remote play with moonlight (haven't personally tried it though)
In 33 years that's what functions best for me and the other ADHDers I know.
But it's far more of a spectrum disease than people think and there are a ton of flavors to ADHD.
Ymmv.
Heads up for anyone still using steam streaming and an Nvidia card.
Install Moonlight and run that instead. Way smoother experience overall.
Victim blaming, so got right now.
there were options available for them short of living in that car.
Yeah buddy? State them out loud. What are the options? No hand waving: what is the place to go for a homeless toddler to have a safe experience?
Cause I can only think of 1: home.
When it comes to resources if I look somewhere and don't find it then I'll be sure to place it where I first looked on cleanup.
It usually amounts to a chaotic system with only a marginal amount of sorting but it's all out of sight most importantly.
The visual noise of things everywhere is maddening.
My system may not work for you: make changes and make it yours.
But as a kid with raging ADHD diagnosed at 8 and never been medicated: this is how I function, and it works well.
It drives me nuts when I visit my mother's house (also raging ADHD) because it's chaos everywhere.
I have 2 categories of things:
Resources and Reminders.
Resources are always put away. When I'm working on a project my mind can easily recall where a resource is. I can then track it down. Things like specific bolts, old Ethernet plugs etc all get packed up out of the way.
Reminders can never be hidden. Things like my keys and wallet are easy examples, but reminders also include that book I want to read next or that coding project I wanted to work on. Reminders are always front and center on my desktop, they're right by the door (sometimes on hangers attached to the door in the case of wedding rings) and I don't forget them because they're obvious.
So things you need to do? Reminder category. Set calendar events for the things that need temporal reminders, or have to be put away.
Resources? Keep them out of sight.
ADHD isn't functioning in chaos. It's causing chaos while functioning.
Big difference.
If you have ADHD you should make special efforts to keep your place cleaner than average, at least in my experience.
It's a lot easier to manage stimulation when you have things tidy. It's just extra effort to get there.
Until the January layoffs the company was fairly even keeled. Most of the Google equivalent of an all-hands meeting were concerned around the layoffs happening with other companies.
Initially the message was "no, there won't be layoffs". Around November it became "we can't predict the future".
And then 12k employees were laid off via email without even telling their managers. The first that team leads heard about it was if a laid off employee sent a farewell email.
There wasn't a list anywhere of who was laid off and all their corp accounts were active until the final day of their 60-90 day warning period.
So sentiment now is essentially: fuck you Sundar, and I know productive and smart devs who have done essentially 0 work since January, in part because they're upset but also because their managers got laid off/roadmaps changed/etc
The mass layoffs caused a lot of fear so even high level managers started dropping their roadmaps to focus on anything that would look good for them specifically.
The tldr is it's all a mess and the bubbly happy sentiment is a thing of the past.
