  • Sunshine is a host application on your computer that replaces the Nvidia Shield streaming app. Since Nvidia removed that function from the current builds of the Nvidia app you can use Sunshine instead. It also works for Intel and AMD GPUs.

    Once you have Sunshine installed and synced with your steam deck you can add any application to Sunshine to allow streaming. In the Xbox PC app find your game executeable location by going to the game page you want to add, then go to More Actions menu>Manage>Files>Browse>Game Folder>Content folder. Add an Application to Sunshine by going to the Applications tab and +Add New. Copy the path of the executeable to the Command field and type in the name of the App. That’s the minimum required to run it, but you can also add boxart. Usually it can find it automatically though which is nice.










  • I went back and played (and beat) Super Metroid finally a few years ago. It was an amazing experience that I’m sorry I missed out on as a kid, but I don’t think I would have had the patience to beat it then. I ended up on a Metroid binge after that. Played the Samus Returns remake and Dread, and am currently playing the Prime remake. I think Metroid has been stuck in niche consoles for so long a lot of folks haven’t been exposed so I appreciate the remakes.


  • I missed NES games almost entirely. I was exposed to Super Mario (at friend’s houses for a few minutes at a time) and literally nothing else until decades later. I would have liked to have played the greats like Mega Man, Metroid, or Zelda.

    I think I really would have liked to have played Zelda the most. I loved ALttP but imagine I would have loved the first one a lot too. It’s really hard to go back now when my experience of newer games sets my expectations. I still get frustrated today trying to navigate and survive when playing it.

    I also completely missed out on Sega, but to this day I still don’t feel like I missed out on much.


  • I feel like I almost completely missed out on PC gaming from the late 80s to the early 2000s. I played a few mil-sim games from Novalogic and Jane’s but that was about it.

    I wasn’t exposed to an FPS until half-life was a few years old. My first real gaming PC was built for Half-Life 2.

    I totally missed Doom, Quake, Descent, Diablo, System Shock, Deus Ex, Wolfenstein, Fallout. I didn’t even know about Elder Scrolls, Myst, Riven, Maniac Mansion (or any of the other Lucasfilm or Tim Schafer games like it).

    I did catch some lower spec games like Sim City, StarCraft, Worms, etc., But it seemed like none of them really caught my attention longer than a few hours. I was mostly interested in SNES and PS1 around that time I guess.
