The other day I was thinking of being lazy and playing games before bed in my actual bed, so it had to be some mobile device.
I recently gave away my switch because I hadn't touched in like a year, so started looking into a steamdeck...then I was like "wait a minute, I don't actually need to have a mobile device that plays things locally", I don't play games outside my home.
So then I figured maybe I can stream stuff from steam PC to a phone or tablet. My phone screen not that satisfying (6-7"), so tablet it is (10.5").
Problem is there not much in the way of bluetooth controllers that can latch onto it (too big!), except some random Chinese stuff you can get on Ali Express, such as the BSP D8 Pro controller, which is like $20 (LOL) but seems to get OK reviews.
The nice thing is I can also do TATE for SHMUPs, which is cool.
So anyway, if you were thinking of being lazy like me while also being frugal, this might be a nice thing to get, or if you have your own experiences to share about how you make your games portable, feel free to share.

It’s literally the only way I’m playing. GFN.

I played Vampire Survivors via xCloud for shits and giggles in December. I still find it to be a poor experience and not very practical.

I stream all the time from my pc but mainly from one pc to another that's hooked up to my tv. If i'm out of the house i do xcloud or steam link using a Razer Kishi with my phone. It's a pretty decent controller. Works great with emulators too.

I've tried it a few times. Mixed results but mostly positive.

I've attempted, but the input lag is unacceptable. The only use I've found for streaming so far is to get points for Playstation Stars by playing games I don't actually want to install.

Hell no, I don't even like when my partner watches me playing at home. It's not that I plain suck or anything, I just prefer for this to be my alone time with the game.

Not to mention I save scum if possible and watching lots of loading screens wouldn't be attractive for a stream.
