Pretty sure there's a way to do it through Steam Link, but I think with non-steam games it becomes finicky.

You could also download Parsec (Parsec.app), I use it to play HCTP with mates living on the other side of the country. You can use it to share your screen with multiple people and link up controllers and the like. The latency is super low too making fighting games actually viable.

It should be able to run TEW without any sort of issues, it's free, and it works with any game rather than it being vendor locked.

Ok, I will have to look into that. I work through my lunch sometimes and it'd be nice to be able to pop onto TEW or CIV 6 or a non frantic, real time game for a few minutes to catch a break.

I think it depends game to game. 

I know, for example, that if I played Binding of Isaac on my computer, logged out and opened the game on my laptop, I would play from the same save file. 

@JMarushin... I decided to not be lazy and find the answer for you. 

It is called Steam Cloud. Look on the Steam Page to see if it is activated.

Spiritfarer is on sale on Steam for $20, Katana Zero for $9 right now

There's a game that has just come out called "What the Dub"

It's very similar to the Jackbox games in the sense of one person needs the game and you join the room with a code and then you watch a B movie clip, there'll be abit where you have to fill in the blank of a scene which is then played out via text to speech. Its based of old B Movies, PSA announcements etc. Played it with a few mates tonight and we've had a good laugh with it. Would recommend as a party game 

Think it's about roughly £5 

[Bobfoc]

That sounds good to me. Apparently, you can add your own clips as well with a bit of tinkering.

It's clearly the input lag from his wireless keyboard and mouse.

Jeff Kaplan is stepping down from his position with Activision Blizzard after 19 years. Aaron Keller, who has been on the Overwatch team since the start, will be replacing him as game director for Overwatch.

Now if we could just remove Ion.....

Playing Divinity: Original Sin 2. Killed a witch by distracting her with my amazon tank while my team covers the ENTIRE battleground with oil, then after getting everyone to a safe distance, lighting the oil.

Quote

The hairstyle has drawn criticism from players, who pointed out that there are many other MMA-inspired hairstyles to draw from. As well as the issues around cultural appropriation, the fact that a Black hairstyle has made its way into the game before a Black female hero has been a point of criticism. While Overwatch 2 will introduce Sojourn, Blizzard has not released a Black female hero in the game's five-year history.

Glenn Rane has left Blizzard to work at LightForge Games, a newer studio founded by ex-Blizzard and ex-Epic employees. Rane was the art lead for Hearthstone and Diablo Immortal, and a principle artist for WoW - if you remember the box art for the Burning Crusade (way back in 2006), that was Glenn Rane.

Was just coming in to say that. Downloading now - no idea if my laptop will handle it. 

[Malenko]

I did. I didn't get it at the time it came out because it didn't have the best reviews and I already had 2k20 anyway, but 0.00 is cheap enough.

Snagged Emily Is Away Too since it's on sale on Steam - for the next 4 hours still - at $2.49 USD. I'm enjoying it. These kind of narrative games are right up my alley, I loved Depression Quest and the original Emily Is Away, and one of my favorite games of the past year or so is a tiny indie narrative game that came in the itch.io Bundle For Racial Justice.
