  I have a Steam Deck and a powerful PC, it’s… a Wii U.

    Oh man, can you hack the Wii u game pad and stream steam to it?

    I have one of those laying around, I could totally do this

      I really don’t think it’d be worth it if it was possible

  Good enough to get me through until we can justify a second Deck 😬

  Do you buy the same game twice, so a second copy for Switch? If yes, subtract the cost of the games off a second Steam Deck with family sharing. That was my justification back then when the Steam Deck was announced and I actually ended up with a number in game prices higher than the cost of the hardware.

    Nah, the switch games stay on switch, we don’t have much that we play together.

    We do share games in a steam family though.

    We definitely need another deck. It’s on the list to do, when we can. We have zero desire for the new generation of switch. Until there’s a new Zelda, at least. I’m not into that but she is.

      CES is next week. Maybe an interesting 3rd party SteamOS device comes out or you make a console from cheap PC components and Bazzite as operating system.

  I’ve done a bit of streaming from my PC to my deck, and I get occasional but noticeable stutter, which I don’t understand, because I can stream Xbox game pass perfectly. 🤔

    All my stuttering and audio issues went away when I switched to gigabit LAN, FYI

    That’s weird. Just yesterday my stream audio started cutting out randomly. Very very annoying. I’ve fiddled with the settings, but so far no solution but to wait and hope it stabilizes. And if it doesn’t? Sometimes it cuts out completely for 5 or 10 seconds? Restart the stream and it comes back.

    If this keeps up I’ll have to consider the experience a failure.

  I experienced the weird green bar recently when streaming to an android tablet with AV1 enabled Worth a look

    Turns out it was my resolution settings. I updated the OP to explain, but basically steam was using my crappy low res auxiliary monitor as primary somehow 🤷‍♂️

    Thanks for the tip

  I’ve been streaming to my Retroid. It works pretty well! Like having a more powerful Deck in a smaller lighter form factor.

    Are you using Moonlight? Considering going for the RP5. I have a 3+, but streaming doesn’t work great on it.

      Yep. With Sunshine as the server. I’ve been pretty impressed by the performance.
