@swordsmanluke@steamdeck Having a gaming PC in the house is still useful for me. I use it to remote play games that don’t run great on the steam deck or eat too much battery. Like Starfield or Baldurs gate 3. Only issue is there is currently a gamma bug in remote play making everything dark. I hope valve fixes it soon.
I’ve streamed a few games but I’m on wifi and it’s… fine? Like it works better than it has any right to, but anything that requires fast inputs has been iffy.
Even BG3 I generally preferred playing on the actual hardware instead of streaming.
@swordsmanluke I guess it really depends on your wifi quality and lag tolerance. I have my PC wired in and really fast Ubiquiti Wifi AP’s so it’s not really noticeable here.
I’m on wifi end to end unfortunately. Because reasons my internet comes into the basement and my main diet is down there. My PC and the Deck are both on the main floor and have decent signal strength but the extra latency and occasional dropped frames make real time games… less fun for me.
Still, I can go play games on my PC when needed. It’s literally less than twenty feet distant…I just really like the Steam Deck. :)
