Sounds like a plan. Thanks!

I think I’d agree with that. Tinkering with settings can get me a bit of a boost, but anything not exceedingly well optimized from the PS5 generation gives my deck trouble.

What would you consider a Steam Machine in that case? Been considering saving up for one.

Been playing the demo for Final Fantasy Resonance!

It’s a beefy demo, with about 7 hours of content, and the save data transfers over.

I played the heck out of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, which is where most of this games assets come from. But this is a non-gacha game reimagining of it in 3D 2D, like octopath. So I’m really excited for it. Probably won’t pick it up on Day 1 for 50 USD, but it’s the first launch day game I’ve been tempted to grab for full price in a long time.

If you can connect headphones to your TV via Bluetooth, might be a reasonable workaround fwiw. That’s what I do.

In fact I generally have to remote play to my phone/tablet and connect my Headphones to that and use the audio from there, since I keep my Xbox hooked up to a computer monitor that does not have any built in speakers.
