Is anyone actually not switching because of the load times?

I thought it was because they have fever games to offer
and no workshop
and no proper friendlist + chat + voice
and no community tabs to share text, pictures and videos
and no community forum inside the launcher
and no way to personalize a profile
and no community driven groups
and no streaming
and no recording-tool

ok, i'll stop already...

Wait steam has streaming and a recording tool???

You can even stream and play from your own computer onto your TV or smartphone if you want. It's the Steam Link. Performances are a bit finicky though but it's getting there.

Don’t mind me as I play DD2 on my phone.

300 hours in project zomboid from my phone when my daughter was in the hospital. Thank you steam

u/Vici0usRapt0r 7h ago

Bruh that's crazy. Hope your daughter is okay btw.

She is! Spent 4 months in nortons children’s in Louisville ky. when she was born, because she was born 14 weeks early. But she’s a healthy 4 year old chaos gremlin now lol. Thanks!

u/senindekorundan 6h ago

does the 4 years counts the premature 14 week? or she is 3 years 9 months old

2

u/IndicaPapiGaming 6h ago

Counting. She was born 07/07/2022. She was due 10/13/2022

u/senindekorundan 6h ago

She is a strong girl. I hope all the good wishes.

Metroid Zero Mission got me through the 53 hours it took from my wife being induced to my daughter being born.  I was really good at speed running it for a bit.

Same, the button layout on my screen would distract me I feel

That and my fat fingers couldn’t possibly find the precision to hit the correct shoulder buttons

I got a dongle that lets me connect an HDMI cable, a USB controller, and a charger to my phone all at once. I've played through Dragons Dogma 1 and 2 and a bunch of Crimson Desert that way.

I stream to my Retroid Pocket 6, absolute best setup for portable PC gaming outside the Steam Deck (and a lot smaller).

u/donmuerte 12h ago

my AndroidTV can install the Steam Link app from the Play store and connect a controller via Bluetooth. It runs fine for me.

u/Vici0usRapt0r 7h ago

Yeah I did that but the performance were crap, like unplayable. Much better on my phone though, I might have to tinker with it a bit more.

Then you should run Moonlight/Sunshine instead. Gamestream is significantly better bitrate and lower input delay than Steam's version.

u/Somepotato 8h ago

With pyrowave, Steam blows moonlight and sunshine out of the water.

I'm sorry I wasn't up to date on a month old software

I did this so I wouldn’t get behind when New World launched, I was grinding my gathering skill from my phone

u/catwhowalksbyhimself 7h ago

I think they meant the other type of streaming, but it's hard to tell. Either way, Steam has both.

u/theBarra 6h ago

I use steam link to play slay the spire 2 when im in bed.

I like using it to play couch co-op games with my gf. Give her my Steam Deck while I play off the main screen. A lot less latency than using the online "play together" feature for couch co-ops.

Have you used it recently? I don’t even notice input lag anymore over wifi, over ethernet is pretty much perfect anymore. Sometimes I just steam link my laptop to go be lazy on the couch

u/Vici0usRapt0r 51m ago

Yeah, I had issues with steam link on my TV, but just tried with my phone recently and it's immaculate. I need to try again with my TV, cause I have no idea why it was so bad since the wifi signal is very good.
