Okay, the AYN Thor is pretty rad.

You can just run Steam games natively on Android. Wild.

    haven't heard about this device at all but i'm amazed to hear that android is capable of this!!! is it via proton or something??

    My partner has one and they LOVE this thing. You can also stream from PC to Thor (look into Apollo/Artemis streaming clients) so you can PC game on a handheld if it’s got controller support.

    Also has android app support for things like ereaders, YouTube, twitch, the normal suspects.

      It’s such a wild device. It deserves all the praise it’s getting. Has a great base purpose but also because it runs android it suddenly does SO much more.

    👀 I don’t need this but I want it now — what are you playing from? Steam Link, remote play, something else?

      GameNative. You MIGHT need to tinker with settings on a per game basis, usually the “use known config” button works, but it’s essentially downloading the full Steam games to your device and then running in a Linux on Android environment.

      Fully local, no streaming.

      Some games are janky, but most lightweight games work, and most of the ones listed as “Compatible” are indeed running fine.

      That being said, at some point I’m going to get Steam Remote play setup And try that out.

      Steam remote play can be hit or miss, if you find the experience suboptimal I've had better experiences with sunshine and moonlight
