Plex
Plex is best known as a media-streaming platform for live TV and music, as well as content from an attached hard drive or host computer via the Plex server. But now the company behind the app is aiming to draw more users with the addition of a subscription game-streaming service that offers iconic old-school Atari games. Despite such assertion, Plex insists it is not trying to use its name to sell offensive content to kids.
"We have heard rumors in the media, which we find too terrifying to quote, about the kinds of things we're allegedly going to offer," the company wrote in a blog post. "We prefer to sit back and let someone else write the story," it says, before adding that it will only stream "game videos with working controllers," "vintage video games," or "gaming-themed entertainment" "with associated titles of their own."

"The NSFW description feature at the bottom does not work without a VPN. Please make sure you are using a VPN when watching," Plex warns. NSFW means "not safe for work" in l33t english slang, so for non-native speakers in North America, Plex will find particular application here.
Don't worry about it, since the streaming affects only the original content of the games, not torrents or karaoke remixes. Plex has been working on full game streaming for some time, though this is the first time it will be working on entrenched old-school systems. Effectively, it's a way to force cord cutters to reload their copy of iOS Safari 4 or Windows to update their app to enjoy Chromecast support.
I remember when I woke up on January 26th, 2013, one of the first things I remembered doing was unscientifically smashing my coffee mug down and crying.
Soon after I humbly packed up my life in NYC, and I moved south for over 2 years to attend a business school in South Carolina. What happened next defined the last 14 months of my life, and has shaped me to the extent that I now find myself where I happen to be through openness of mind.
I himself had struggled with depression at the time, for a long time bu noticeable depression in work conditions. After questioning all aspects of my life in business environments over the past 12 months (especially my career), I have finally found something that makes sense, and I will share it with you here.
The illusory bubble
Within the context of consulting organisations where I previously lived, plans were falling apart left and right. Finding similar experience elsewhere, and only subsequently realizing that in certain situations things could work out differently, it became clear that something was fundamentally wrong with my present approach. Something was fundamentally wrong with everything. Something unsustainable
