Playing AAA games on my x250 thanks to Steam Link! With decent internet it works really well.

    @sam if you want a more general purpose tool, I’ve been using moonlight and sunshine - it’s an open source implementation which has been giving me much better image quality when streaming from my desktop

      Moonlight is great, not heard of Sunshine, will have to check it out! Since I had my kids, the only time I get to game is either in bed or when I’m pooping. Got an AliExpress controller that essentially turns my phone into a Switch, worked out the box with both Steam Link and Moonlight! Best shits ever.

      I’ve heard of moonlight, the only reason I went with Steam Link is that it was dead simple. Better image quality is definitely tempting, I’ll give moonlight a try soon!

        @sam it was less fiddly back when Nvidia had the game streaming server built into the Nvidia GeForce experience software - now you need to run sunshine as a server for it to work - but it’s letting me playing Baldurs Gate from my bedroom on my MacBook via my much more powerful desktop. Also means you can stream GOG games and the like.

      We have a physical Steam Link (and a Steam controller) that we bought way back when Steam Link was fairly new. Now an Android TV that has the Steam Link app which is also pretty nifty. But since discovering Moonlight and Sunshine, we’ve been using that exclusively because it runs so much smoother.
