Someone came over and asked what I was using the PC in the living room for. I told him -- it's the Cities Skylines Mainframe!

If you have a spare desktop lying around, it really helps to do the simulation "in the cloud."

What do you mean exactly?

You run it on the desktop and remote play it using remote desktop or steam’s equivalent on your laptop?

I used to do that with my powerful desktop, leave it in my home office and remote play CS from the living room. Lag was good enough to play.

Precisely. Latency on LAN is very good, especially for a non realtime game like Cities.
