Is this better than steams built in streaming system?

Honest question, never used anything else

Hmm maybe I'll have to look into it again. I remember trying it once a year or two ago, and running into some known bug where it looked like it was gonna work, but never did. Updates happen though. I'm fine with doing it from desktop mode, if it works. Kludgy, but I can understand it's not a priority to implement.

Have they still not fixed or properly implemented adhoc Wi-Fi yet? Seems like a fairly big deal. Especially if you and your spouse are on a plane or train or something.

I mean, you could always use one of those pocket Wi-Fi routers. I keep one in my travel bag at all times for hotel Wi-Fi that tries to limit the number of devices, and to bypass the Wi-Fi login screen for my Chromecast that I also keep with me.

I remember. I was like, wait, people paying for this? Good times though, definitely fun.

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 🤷‍♂️

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

This is me 100%.

Though I'm probably right, I'm fine with being wrong. I don't want to spread untruths. I'd rather learn the true thing and try not to forget it.

Finally started horizon forbidden West, I like it so far

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.

Maybe, possibly, but more likely I'll just give steam more of my money 😬

Thanks for the tip

No? I mean, that's basically what the wiiu did. Stream the screen to the pad.. hmmm.. I'll look into it and let you know if I do it

Looks like it can be done! Just a little hacky. I might still try it 🤔

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.

You're not wrong!

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

True facts

Always use two fuses! Need to fuse the ground lead as well because the antenna is bonded to frame of the car!

POTA is fun. Everyone is so chill. I only get out a few times a year these days, but I love setting up in the woods. I should do it more.

To add to that, if you learn Morse code, you can use the lowest license level to use all the bands, and talk around the world with quite low power. The radios for this are cheaper, and the whole thing can be made even cheaper with things like 3d printing.

Now I know most people aren't gonna do that. But it's interesting that Morse code not only still exists, but is thriving. Right now, as you read this, people are having conversations with Morse code. Literally 24/7 around the world, over radio. Pretty cool stuff.

It's hard to learn, I've technically learned it, but I never got super proficient, and now I'm rusty haha. There are apps for keeping sharp, I should do that.

Do it! It's great fun. Dipoles work well. I've found verticals to be even easier to set up, and perform good enough for POTA
