Will you upgrade your PC now that you have a steam deck? (links.wageoffsite.com)

Many people have, like me, realized that they use their deck more than their main rig.

For the last few years I've gone from 1080p to 1440p to 4k to 800p and don't think my main box will need to get beefier until the next big VR advancement. My machine is already three years old. I may rock it for another three at this pace.

How many of you will be laying off of CPU/GPU upgrades since handheld are so compelling?

That used to be a problem for me when I had a Steam link in Australia. I have not experienced that issue with the Deck at all. Are you using the Steam streaming service, or something like Moonlight?

A lot of people talk bad about the Steam service, but it has always worked fine for me. I just use Moonlight for things off other services like EA Origin, or for when I want to play some emulation stuff on my PC.

No issues for me on my end, I could just be lucky though!

I'm using the steam service, even for emulated games. I've just added the exe for yuzu (or whatever else I want to stream) as a non-steam game. Sometimes it does just work but the majority of the time I have to fiddle to get it going. It's definitely better than the steam link days though so hopefully it'll keep getting smoother over time.

I would consider moonlight for Yuzu specifically. Has made TOTK on my TV a flawless experience!

TOTK is exactly what I've been using it for recently, I'll definitely give that a shot

Yeah, definitely try it! Setup is a little bit of a pain, but once it is working I have had 0 issues streaming Yuzu to my Deck, plugged into my TV.
