Ecksell,

All of that is true, and makes perfect sense. It all depends on where you live, of course.

Ecksell,

You guys need to try out streaming from PC and/or PS5 to Steam Deck. Technically everything runs on the SD in this scenario. I’m playing FF7 Rebirth on the SD via my PS5 right now, and it is glorious. Helldivers 2 via the gaming rig is also pretty sweet.

Steam’s built in Remote Play and Chiaki4Deck are the best!

Ecksell,

That is so cool! I had actually forgotten about this game, until I saw it in this article that includes a bunch of other recommendations that are in these genres:

Got Chiaki4Deck up and running, well worth it! (lemmy.one)

Been doing quite a bit of in-home streaming from PC to Steam Deck lately, and decided to give Chiaki4Deck a try for PS5 to Steam Deck in-home streaming. Works like a charm; great graphics (including HDR), touchpad and haptics support, and QoL stuff like sleeping your PS5 when exiting the Steam Deck’s stream session....

Ecksell,

Just curious, when you do this in HD2, how do you use the mic?

Ecksell,

Basically the same situation here fellow Helldiver, thank you for the confirmation. Now lets get back to the front lines!!

Ecksell,

Valve is a very small company of dedicated engineers and developers. Im sure the folks making things work were busy, and the company just needed a marketing person to come in. Did I get the snark level right? XD Jokes aside, neat logo!

Ecksell,

Can verify as a heavy Remote Play user that the update indeed breaks it entirely. Luckily, Sunlight/Moonlight still works just fine.

Ecksell,

Been playing Helldivers 2, really fun game!
Question about it: It offers a curved HUD option in the settings, which is really neat in the YT vids I’ve seen, especially since I have a curved monitor. I’d love to enable this, but it doesn’t work at all for me. Does it for anyone else?

Ecksell,

I want to play an RTS and have Halo Wars in my library, so I’m trying to get that running over Sunshine/Moonlight and knock it off my backlog.

Ecksell,

Sure, valid question. I tend to set up all my in progress games for streaming, as I spend a good chunk of time playing within my home network. I get to enjoy the games with the horsepower and high settings of my main rig, and incredible battery life on the SD.

Ecksell,

Thankfully the stupid titles are still far away from taking over, only 2 on this one.

Ecksell,

What is that, like 0.000000001%? Slow news day.

How to introduce 5 year old niece to new things without 3 year old nephew feeling left out?

I’ve got a niece (5) and nephew (3). The niece is really good about finding ways to entertain herself and the nephew will always try and take it for himself and intrude, usually not in a compromising sort of way. Obviously, this is pretty typical kid behavior overall....

Ecksell,

Watch Bluey. They’ll like it, and you’ll learn a few things too. There is also a board game and a mobile game.

Ecksell,

I hope I dont need to upgrade my Sound Blaster audio card!

Ecksell,

Man of Steel. It was a shot in the arm for DC movies, and the Superman character in film. Why they didnt follow up with a direct sequel, and instead released that dumpster fire Batman v Superman instead, I will never understand.

Ecksell,

To add to the off-normal usage scenarios, I mostly play my SD at home and when doing so Stream from my main rig. In this method, the battery life is incredible. It’s basically just running the network card, screen, and registering button inputs, and it really just sips on the energy usage.

Ecksell,

Another dead end of “help” eh? Ignore this person

Ecksell,

Station 2 Station. I dont think its Deck Verified yet, but it runs great. Its so easy to turn off brain, chill to the music, and lay down some train tracks and bridges while the time just disappears. If you want, you can tryhard it, which is also fun, depending on the mood.

Ecksell,

I have never been off the Stable channel, switched to Preview just for this:

Fixed incorrect colors (gamma) when using Steam In-Home Streaming.

Happy to say it works perfectly!
