gollark: Idea for a better internet<->game chat relay:- people sending messages generate an asymmetric keypair of some sort- they send signed messages over skynet or something- to comply with the chatbox-related restrictions, users would sign up to receive messages sent by some public keys- users ingame can also associate their key with their username
gollark: With a VPN, and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse, it should be possible to play ~~factorio~~ games anywhere using only stupid amounts of battery life and data!
gollark: Fun fact: there appears to be a Steam Link thing available for android allowing playing games on your phone using a computer running Steam.
gollark: Or at least a near-infinitely small fraction of it.
