- wccrawford 3y agoIt's hard to know without trying, but I would guess that it'd at least be good enough to do what you were doing before. I think Parsec is still free for the basics, so the only cost would be your time in setting it up and trying it.

You're correct in the notion that running these types of apps relies on your home Internet connection (along with your hotel connection or wherever you're located). This is almost certainly lower performance, lower quality, and higher latency than gaming from a Google datacenter via Stadia.
- wccrawford 3y agoAcross the continent that might be true, but when gaming from my office in town to my house, there was noticeably less lag on Parsec than Stadia. I tried Stadia both at home and work. I used it at home for months before using Parsec instead.
