What do you mean with "I... rented a machine to play games"? Is it a online service? Would you mind talking a little bit more about that?

Parsec, allows renting of cloud computers with quadros. Either via amazon or paperspace. It's rented per the hour. Storage costs additionally flat each month. I usually spent about 10 to 20 a month. For several nights a week with an hour or two gaming.

I'm still a fan of the service. I'm using their software for hosting my in home network gaming setup.

Do you have any examples of games that worked well with Parsec? I have a super fast home internet but don't want to invest in a high-end rig.

I'm guessing "parsec" in OP's comment is the parsec gaming service [1], which is basically Stadia.
