Don't even need the hardware anymore. The Android app is really good on its own. I can even play games while not on my own home network with minimal lag so long as I am on 5G or wifi. I use it to play a few rounds of Civilization when waiting at the doctor.

Kolanak, I've seen you comment on so many threads on Lemmy. I thank you for A. Being an active commenter, B: having valuable opinions and instigating discourse and C: having your name in emoji format so people clearly see you.

Well done.

Emoji format? What client you on?

FWIW Jerboa looks the same as what Sync shows

I too am using Sync and this is indeed what it looks like 😄

I sideload the app onto fire sticks. Works fine for the most part. Played games like plateup and RPGs without issue

Android app is so buggy though.

Right now for whatever reason it refuses - on two different android TVs - to stream from either Steam Deck or desktop (for Steam Deck I get sound but black screen, for desktop it genuinely crashes). Tried with Steam Link hardware and it's fine for some reason. But that's just the latest issue.
