IMO set him up with some of the modern engines and tutorials… Godot 4, Unreal etc…

actually if you are looking for some stuff to have ready for him.

If he has access to youtube there’s also lots of really good tutorials etc… out there. Heartbeast has some awesome ones for godot etc…


also worth going further on library size. There’s twice as many steam deck verified games, than there are ps4 titles. Not counting any titles that work in steam deck but haven’t bothered to be verified.


In the US the law does that. Even reaction videos that basically show the original are generally OK. The problem is that generally places for the general public to post things, don’t want to spend the legal costs of checking every claim. So they do a guilty until proven innocent approach where if someone has a registered business if they accuse someone it gets yanked immidiately, and then it’s up to the users to prove it’s not infringement.


Seconded here, at the bare minimum you need a VPS or similar. Quick detail here, if you say you are using it to “sail the seas”. and you are talking about self hosting.

Point of a VPN for piracy purposes is best explained. In short, You connect to the VPN host, the VPN host connects to the tracker or whatever pages you are going to. Should an anti-piracy bot connect to the tracker and follow the leads, it will find the VPN instead of you, and hopefully the VPN isn’t keeping logs and has enough people connecting to it that they can’t keep a specific link to someone.

Problem with self hosting, is it kind of misses that value. If the same happens but instead of finding your computer, it leads them to… a computer in your living room. Well obviously the same is going to happen as if they found just you.


Yeah to me the obvious end days was when the “half priced but with ads” plans came out. It’s going the route of cable. the patern is so predictable.

Year 1: Ad free - 5-10,

Year 2: Ad free 10-15

Year 3: ad free 10-15, low price ad tier 5-10

Year 4: ad free 20-30, ad tier 10-15

Year 5: ad tier 25-30, ad free 75

Year 6: Due to low demand, ad free tier is removed. ad tier 40-50.

That’s of course counting the shitification of their being 20 services, which are equally sharing shows of every genre so that no matter what type of shows you like, you’ll need to use 3-4 services to get the main shows you want.
