[3349.22 --> 3351.22] This was percolating in my mind. |
[3351.22 --> 3355.22] And I was like, you know what, it's funny because it must have been about a year ago my |
[3355.22 --> 3363.22] co-host and I were sitting in my garage talking about Nvidia Grid and how we wanted like a |
[3363.22 --> 3368.22] centralized streaming device within our homes that would turn anything from a computer, |
[3368.22 --> 3372.22] like a normal desktop computer to a Raspberry Pi into a full-fledged gaming system. |
[3372.22 --> 3377.22] And I went looking for the article and it had been, it was one year exactly prior because |
[3377.22 --> 3381.22] Nvidia had announced it at GDC the previous year. |
[3381.22 --> 3386.22] And like I sent him the link to the timestamp within what was before called Livestream but |
[3386.22 --> 3387.22] is now WAN show. |
[3387.22 --> 3392.22] And as he's watching it, he's like, yeah man, you were like right on, like way ahead of your |
[3392.22 --> 3393.22] time. |
[3393.22 --> 3396.22] But like imagine this, blah, blah, blah, like Raspberry Pi. |
[3396.22 --> 3401.22] And then like 30 seconds later he gets to the point in the video where I'm like, blah, blah, blah, |
[3401.22 --> 3402.22] blah, blah, Raspberry Pi. |
[3402.22 --> 3407.22] Imagine, you know, you could have a LAN just by everyone bringing over like, you know, |
[3407.22 --> 3412.22] their favorite peripherals and like Raspberry Pis and like boom, you're set up. |
[3412.22 --> 3416.22] And like with stuff like Oculus, which I wasn't even talking about at the time, all of a sudden |
[3416.22 --> 3417.22] your display's here. |
[3417.22 --> 3422.22] All you need is like a game controller and a Raspberry Pi and everyone could be running |
[3422.22 --> 3426.22] like seriously HD plus graphics on their heads. |
[3426.22 --> 3428.22] I mean sitting, okay, tell me this. |
[3428.22 --> 3431.22] Is VR gaming with a group of people socializing? |
[3431.22 --> 3432.22] Whoa. |
[3432.22 --> 3433.22] Okay, hold on. |
[3433.22 --> 3435.22] That might be a whole separate topic. |
[3435.22 --> 3436.22] Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
[3436.22 --> 3438.22] But anyway, they added a bunch of really cool stuff. |
[3438.22 --> 3440.22] So that was a really cool conversation with him. |
[3440.22 --> 3441.22] Super cool guy. |
[3441.22 --> 3445.22] He talked a little bit about what it's like working for the almighty Lord and Savior, Gabe |
[3445.22 --> 3449.22] in and how, you know, he like came in like right when he first started. |
[3449.22 --> 3451.22] He's only been there about a year, which is really cool. |
[3451.22 --> 3452.22] Yeah. |
[3452.22 --> 3458.22] He went from like not working there to like creating one of the headline features of Steam |
[3458.22 --> 3460.22] OS in my mind in like a year. |
[3460.22 --> 3461.22] Welcome to being a Valve employee. |
[3461.22 --> 3462.22] Exactly. |
[3462.22 --> 3464.22] So he walked into Gabe N's office and he was like, yeah, this would be really cool. |
[3464.22 --> 3466.22] And Gabe N's like, go build it. |
[3466.22 --> 3468.22] And he's just like, oh no, I don't feel ready yet. |
[3468.22 --> 3473.22] So we went and worked on TF2 for a couple months and then did some work on Steam OS and then |
[3473.22 --> 3479.22] like had another conversation with Gabe N, who he calls Gabe, but I feel not worthy. |
[3479.22 --> 3481.22] So he had another conversation. |
[3481.22 --> 3483.22] He's like, yeah, I really want to try this. |
[3483.22 --> 3485.22] And he's like, make it so. |
[3485.22 --> 3490.22] And so he started trying, he started out trying to prove that in-home streaming wasn't |
[3490.22 --> 3491.22] possible. |
[3491.22 --> 3492.22] And it kept not done. |
[3492.22 --> 3493.22] He kept on like fixing it. |
[3493.22 --> 3496.22] Kept not working or kept working. |
[3496.22 --> 3497.22] Yeah. |
[3497.22 --> 3503.22] The disproving kept not working to the point where now we have this very usable service |
[3503.22 --> 3506.22] and this latest batch of improvements looks pretty darn impressive. |
[3506.22 --> 3509.22] Hardware accelerated encoding via QuickSync. |
[3509.22 --> 3511.22] QuickSync isn't the best quality encoding in the world. |
[3511.22 --> 3512.22] Nope. |
[3512.22 --> 3514.22] But what it is, is extremely fast. |
[3514.22 --> 3515.22] Which is what you need. |
[3515.22 --> 3519.22] And on pretty much any Intel processor in the last couple of generations, as long as |
[3519.22 --> 3520.22] you're on a mainstream platform. |
[3520.22 --> 3524.22] They also added mouse emulation mode for controllers toggled with guide A. |
[3524.22 --> 3526.22] There were, ah, see, ah, see now. |
[3526.22 --> 3527.22] Okay. |
[3527.22 --> 3528.22] I'm just going to go through this list. |
[3528.22 --> 3533.22] Cause I talked to him about a bunch of other crap that like, is not on this list. |
[3533.22 --> 3535.22] And I, so maybe shouldn't cover it. |
[3535.22 --> 3539.22] I don't want to accidentally talk about anything that's like going to be a problem for him. |
[3539.22 --> 3541.22] Don't want to bring that bridge before we get to go to Valve. |
[3541.22 --> 3542.22] Yeah. |
[3542.22 --> 3543.22] Yeah. |
[3543.22 --> 3544.22] Yeah. |
[3544.22 --> 3545.22] Yeah. |
[3545.22 --> 3546.22] Okay. |
[3546.22 --> 3548.22] Something I did talk to him about is like, could we maybe like get an invite down there |
[3548.22 --> 3549.22] at some point? |
[3549.22 --> 3553.22] And he didn't promise anything, but like he really liked our video about in-house streaming. |
[3553.22 --> 3556.22] So seriously, I think it like made his month. |
[3556.22 --> 3557.22] That's good. |
[3557.22 --> 3560.22] To have us make that video and like get it. |
[3560.22 --> 3561.22] And we want to do an update. |
[3561.22 --> 3562.22] Yes. |
[3562.22 --> 3563.22] Just not now necessarily. |
[3563.22 --> 3564.22] I'll probably wait until it's out of beta. |
[3564.22 --> 3565.22] Yeah. |
[3565.22 --> 3570.22] Um, the other really cool stuff that they added is a 30 megabit bandwidth option, which |
[3570.22 --> 3576.22] was before the maximum with an unlimited bandwidth option that's been increased to 100 megabit. |
[3576.22 --> 3578.22] So we could be seeing better image quality. |
[3578.22 --> 3579.22] We wanted that. |
[3579.22 --> 3581.22] That's something we noticed when we were testing. |
[3581.22 --> 3585.22] Um, settings to, uh, enable traffic quality of service priority and the advanced host options. |
[3585.22 --> 3588.22] Um, honestly, it's getting better, like almost daily. |
[3588.22 --> 3592.22] That was one of the challenges when I was benchmarking it was the, and I told him this, I was like, |
[3592.22 --> 3595.22] dude, the bloody thing was changing while I was trying to test it. |
[3595.22 --> 3601.22] I managed to find like two days where you didn't do an update and I got my video done and then it updated the next day. |
[3601.22 --> 3604.22] He was just like, like, colon D. |
[3604.22 --> 3607.22] Thank you. |
[3607.22 --> 3612.22] Oh, for some reason I signed out of my Google doc. |
[3612.22 --> 3613.22] Anyway, in-home streaming got an update. |
[3613.22 --> 3615.22] So that was, that was the point of all that. |
[3615.22 --> 3617.22] We can stay on the valve idea. |
