Yes, it is. I don’t blame anyone for not knowing him, but please don’t share his videos here.

Konami is weird these days (don’t miss the stinger at the end)
Kind of strange to highlight David Hayter but then have Quinton Flynn be nowhere for voiceless Raiden
…ok, probably not actually
Konami lowered their number of new console game projects so all the money is going into Bomberman updates instead.

This just in: the Steam Link is hot garbage
oh no i spent $10 on one of these
shit
Ditto.
Maybe my bad experience with it was due to both having a bad computer and not being able to hook the Link up via ethernet cable, but I feel like a lot of what I didn’t like about it was unrelated to speed and performance.
For one, I had gone into this thing thinking that it would treat the TV as a separate monitor. It doesn’t. It literally just runs Big Picture mode your primary monitor and then mirrors it on your TV, so if you were expecting it to free up a screen while you game, I have bad news.
Another problem is that I feel like only being able to navigate Big Picture mode with the analog stick is a huge oversight. The d-pad does nothing in the menus.
Edit: Oh also, any input devices you want to use have to be plugged into the steam link itself, you can’t just use the ones attached to your computer, even though it’s just running it on your main screen and then dittoing it to another screen.

I generally was OK with the Wii U experience so I was hoping to use Steam Link in the same way. I don’t think any of these are showstoppers in that context. I tried with my phone but all the text and HUDs are too tiny there. If Apple just finally approves the app for iOS I’ll probably get a gamevice for iPad and see if that finally achieves household streaming nirvana…
Moonlight is fine on iOS! and unlike Steam Link it actually supports HEVC!
Yeah, Moonlight is just very finicky to get into a game fullscreen properly to start with, and I had a problem with the sound always cutting out after an hour or so.
Even if you just launch steam big picture via moonlight?
I didn’t remember Big Picture existed at the time; I’ll give it a shot if the Steam Link app never comes through.
Jonathan Blow’s company has announced the first batch of arts grants to puzzle game creators. Great use of his fortune and puzzle game good taste:

I was ready to believe in the game vice but the left half fits poorly and the buttons are third party 360 controller quality.
I did, however, figure out a hack for Nvidia streaming to let you just use a controller plugged in to the host pc.
Yeah I know that hack. Be careful never to update the NVidia streaming app from now on because it will clobber your config. (No security reason to update in this case.)
You have it on the smallest setting for the X right? I initially thought I’d have to use the larger one which fit a lot worse.

Much better!
You’re just lucky I recognized your camera bump positioning in that picture you posted of the G3 case a week ago

OK yeah this is definitely the way to go. Really good stream quality with moonlight. Just big enough for readable text.
