  • It’s really about the type of network connectivity between where you are playing and where the PC is.

    Eg, I have my TV ethernet hookup to my PC. Typically, I get less than 15ms latency, and I think it’s usually about 8ms added at 120fps. I’m comfortable using Sunshine/moonlight for any game on this setup, and I can’t tell the difference between playing on the PC or via moonlight on the TV. Fortnite or any other type of FPS is totally playable. 15ms latency might matter to hardcore or competitive FPS, but it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever to my crap reaction times or shitty skills.

    Now I could also play that same FPS using moonlight on my phone while I’m overseas, on the train, using mobile data in a crowded area via a vpn across the internet to my home PC, and I’d expect that to be pretty bad.

    If I played that same FPS at a friend’s place across town, on moonlight on their PC that is ethernet connected to his router, with my PC running Sunshine as host, the lag is going to depend on how good the connection is between his house and my house. If he’s on fiber, and I’m on fiber, and there’s no traffic congestion, then it could be under 30ms. Which would be unnoticeable for all but the most extreme of game requirements.

    Also, what you are running moonlight on matters. Different devices will decode streams faster or slower, which can add to latency.

    I guess what I’m saying is that it’s about the power of the device you are running Moonlight on, and the quality of it’s connection to the Sunlight PC, more than the type of game.



  • I.d rather take any website than being continuously forced to download apps, or being told to go to Facebook for some business’s information.

    There’s 2 things a website should respect - simple do it more often -, and not doing these will earn you my wrath:

    • you should be able to at least zoom/shrink text. Some websites have things so locked down, I can never read their teeny tiny text. Fuck you ESPN. Why would you let desktop zoom, and stop it on mobile where my screen is smaller and I most need it? (I’ll leave alone the original intent of the web of separating presentation from content for another day).
    • Browser Back button should take you back to the previius ‘page’. I’m terrified to use it because you’re really showing multiple ‘pages’ on 1 real page, so who knows where I’ll end up.
