I'm a Nintendo maniac and a Switch fan. Undoubtedly.

I love the Steam Deck. I've been blowing through old games like no tomorrow. I stream PS5 games and more intensive games from my desktop. It's been a delightful device. They really cleaned up the PC gaming experience.

I've had trouble getting my Stardew Valley working on it through Heroic because it's on GoG, but just may buy it on Steam.

Are you streaming cabled or wireless from your desktop? How is the latency?

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My PS5 and Desktop are wired but my Deck is not.

The latency seems fine but I'm not a very good gamer. Better gamers could be annoyed, but it seems fine to me. There's been the odd hiccup now and again with Chiaki (PS5 streaming) where things go gray but it doesn't bother me too much.

Ok, cheers, got the impression from some other posters that the latency was unbearable :-)
