Steam Link is $19.99 on Amazon right now. I finally picked one up as I've been wanting to try the thing for a while.

Nice! I think I may pick one up, even though it won't get much use. Anyone got any opinions on using it wirelessly? I've heard it works significantly better wired, but I don't know that I want to run CAT V around 150-200 feet through my attic and walls. That just sounds like a shit project.
Guess that means I'd probably need to buy a controller too.

You can use keyboard/mouse with the link I believe but yea a controller is the way to go. I don't have a link myself but I use in-home streaming through Steam from my gaming PC to my media PC, roughly equals the same thing. I have a pretty good wireless network and there's always going to be a minor delay. If you wire it I think you can essentially eliminate that but I'm not sure, haven't messed around with it enough.

I use my steamlink through a wired connection and get virtually no lag. When it comes to playing games, there's still some funky stuff that happens but it's usually on a game by game basis. Some games run perfectly, some will have graphical hiccups. You can also run a USB cable to it and use a PS4 controller if you dont want to shell out for a steam controller (and dont mind being wired to the thing).
I use my steamlink more to broadcast whatever Im watching via Acestream to my tv more than games these days though, but it's definitely worth 20 bucks.

Sucks because it's no different then any other sale now instead of a once a year event that at least had some buzz to it.

I haven't paid attention to steam sales for two years and I guess they aren't getting any better.

I still buy anywhere from 3-10 games per big sale (Fall, Winter, Spring I guess) on Steam at new historical lows off my wishlist. If you're looking for specific games, generally keeping an eye on other sites / bundles (or just isthereanydeal.com) is the way to go but if you just have 200+ games you know you want sometime, Steam sales are still good
Gonna pick up Witcher 3 GOTY for 29 I think. Have the base game but its on that stupid GOG platform.

Picked up a Steam Link. No clue when I'd ever use it but for $20 what the hell. Maybe I'll play the Batman games via the link.
Don't know if it's been mentioned before but thought I'd throw up a site I found today for tracking steam stuff Steam Sales · US highest rated games, highest recorded discounts, and bunch of other stats.
