Steam Link Love

Damn. It’s so awesome.

I mucked around with HDMI direct to my TV but amazingly after some work the Steam Link app is a far more streamlined experience.

Everything can be managed from remote controls, or with a wireless Xbox controller.

Now my MacBook Pro running Bootcamp is tethered to my router, and Apple TV also connected via cable. TV set to game mode. Remote play set to beautiful. And I just have this amazing lag free console like experience.

I even have my Bluetooth headphones connected to the Apple TV so it’s just such a chill wireless couch setup.

Granted my library being on a 2.5 inch spin up drive does take some time to load, I actually went and bought a T7 SSD this weekend, but had a pretty bad experience with it. Real slow while writing, and also didn’t seem stable running games. So I returned it and will just put up with the slow load times for now.

My laptop from 2017 is showing its age on games like ACOrigins, but running that in 720 is an ok fix.

Otherwise I kinda can’t believe I had almost all the tools lying around my house to just plug this all in and get it setup, once I thought about it a bit. Destiny 2 is a riot also and can’t believe I can just jump into that for free.

Anyway, feels like a nice PC gaming renaissance for me.

So, thanks Valve, for Steam Link :)
