Thank you to whomever told me about Moonlight because this shit works greatThe only problem is my Steamdeck now feels completely and totally useless. It was always too big to take around on trips so I only used it to play games in bed, but now that I can do that with this there's really no point to it. I can't even really justify using it as an emulator because any modern phone is just about as good at emulating stuff
>>737492186Same ive been using cloud gaming and it makes the steamdeck look like a 40yr console What controller is that anon?
I'll never understand playing games like these on a portable.Everything looks tiny, the detail at the distance is completely just gone, even at a high PPI. It's like watching a movie on a fucking phone.Anyways I would say this isn't a bad solution if latency is as low as it is with moonlight/sunshine on the deck
>>737492186This is why I got a Odin 3 over a Deck or ROG. They're just too bulky and battery dies asap. My Odin is lightweight and lasts for days without a charge even going heavy on it.
>>737492186Most soulless way to play vidya is with a phone controller
>>737492186Enjoy video games and stop complaining about your past decisions.
Remember HVEC is for home, AV1 is for long trips. Knowing these two makes all the difference in the world.
>>737492186>flip phonehow's your transition going?
its been a game changer honestly OP
>>737493052he's already using troonlight so pretty good I'd bet
Sell the deck?Honestly rather than play with a garbage telescopic controller with added android latency and having to fight notifications and the urge to charge the thing (unless you never use your phone for anything else), I would grab one of those premium chinkhelds that can still be used for this purpose and are considerably lighter than the deck without going stupid small (and with better controls for sure).
Deck still mogs all chinkhelds and has 8h of battery when streaming
>>7374933378-12h is the typical battery life on these premium chinkhelds playing real games. streaming will last you days is the equivalent of watching a youtube video but without the network rape from google.
>>7374922628Bitdo Ultimate Mobile
>folding phoneI really hate this shit.
>>737493052Folding phones rock
>>737493546Yeah but you're running android, the most soulless OS imaginable
>>737493337>has 8h of battery when streamingWhich still isn't as good as a typical phoneIf you're planning on streaming there's no point to having a deck
>>737492186PSP, Vita and DS Lite are the perfect size handhelds. Give me a steamdeck that's a size of one of those and I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
>>737493785Deck is nice because it does it all
>>737493648These handhelds support Linux. They have MESA Support just like Steam Deck.
>>737493962I feel like you're not telling the entire story
>>737493852jack of all trades master of none. Deck is the rainbow neos.
>>737492186Just install moonlight on it lol
>>737494106What does it not master
>>737494040Elaborate because every Snapdragon device is basically a Linux device.
>>737493618>rockthey can't even survive sandactually not even a fingernail
>>737494204What about x86 games
>>737494271not him but winlator exists
Always remember you're necessarily talking with the brain damaged who can't feel massive latency.
>>737494196deck is a rdna2 device it doesnt even do av1 encode, fsr4, or any of the modern shit.
>>737494306Sounds like a nightmare to have to juggle another translation layer on top of wine
>>737494271Have you been sleeping under a rock? DXVK works on Linux/Android. The only requirement is a competent Vulkan driver (RADV on SteamDeck, MESA on Snapdragon).
>>737494398winlator and forks all use proton/dxvk which is from valve/steamdeck.
>>737494382I don't need FSR4 and av1 only comes in handy if you use your device mainly for streaming >>737494490DisingenuousWinlator.dev/games-list
>>737494354system latency is a system issue aka user error.
>>737494578Notice how every game on there is DX11 or older because thats what DXVK is designed for.
>>737493618>rock
Like I said, brain damaged. Always assume everyone but you is stupid because they are.
>>737494642Why are you such a disingenuous, shilling faggot. Incredible to be honest
>>737494271The new Proton version has FEX
>>737492186>buying a flip phone to play wide screen games on a square screen with huge black bezels covering half of the screen giving you nearly the same image size that you'd get from using a single phone screen horizontally
>>737492186have you tried using the steam built in "play in mobile"?
The steam deck has always been a useless gimmick>too big and expensive for a streaming device>too weak to run any games on it's ownThere's no reason to ever use a steam deck instead of a phone or a cheap chinkheld that will be running the same indies and retro games people play on the deck
>>737494187And play with a worse, smaller screen and have to carry around something way heavier in exchange for having no advantage>>737494354If you're streaming in your own home it isn't worse than a Wii U gamepad
>>737495159Indie games I guess
>>737494881OP here, it is in fact bigger than it would be in horizontal mode, I've used bothThat said I hope Google makes a wide folding phone at some point
>>737495159>There's no reason to ever use a steam deck instead of a phoneBrownest shill yet
>>737495648you're the one shilling useless garbage when everyone already owns a better alternative
>>737496808You're a third world nigger that plays on his phone, your opinion does not matter
>>737497016Explain to me how Moonlight is any worse than playing on a Wii U gamepad
>>737497291Continue playing on your tiny screen, it works well for you obivously
>>737492186Moonlight still has too much lag.Even over an ethernet connection between computers I can feel it being slugish.Not even playing games, I used it to remote into another PC to use blender.
>>737497404Do you think I'm going to lug my 65" OLED into my bedroom to play before going to sleep
>>737497475Keep "enjoying" your tiny screen lil blud
>>737497693Are you drunk or retarded?
>>737498000Tiny screen ass nigger
>>737498094>>737497693>>737497404ANON SHIELD YOUR EYES
>>737498183Glad we moved past that
until games start automatically detecting you're streaming to a portable device and letting you use a separate config for it (like hud scaling for example), streaming will always be a mild pain in the ass
>>737492186streaming has never once worked for me
I use moonlight on a cheap handheld
