Question Where is this avatar from
I've had this avatar for such a long time maybe since I've made my account in 2014 and I have no idea where it is from. I could've sworn it was one of the default avatars you could pick from but can't find it now. Any idea where its from?

Discussion Steam's NEW streaming codec - at 4K - tested with Lag/image quality/gameplay tests - PyroWave now on the stable Steam client, streamed to Steam Deck - comparing to Moonlight. What's your setup?
PyroWave is on the stable Steam client! I like it a lot, and I tested it by streaming from PC to my Steam Deck and outputting to a 4K monitor. I used a custom 240 fps lag test timer, a sustained gameplay test, and an image quality test. I also tested it vs Moonlight (Vibepollo/nonary moonlight fork). It's a lot of data, but here are the results!
Lag test (4K60 → Steam Deck LCD, median)
| Link | Moonlight (HEVC) | Steam (PyroWave) |
|---|---|---|
| HDMI cable, no streaming | 0 frames | 0 frames |
| Ethernet | 17 ms · 1 frame | 17 ms · 1 frame |
| Wi-Fi 6E | 17 ms · 1 frame | 50 ms · 3 frames |
Gameplay test (FF7 Remake Intergrade, host logs ingested/aggregated)
| Link | Moonlight (HEVC) | Steam (PyroWave) |
|---|---|---|
| Ethernet | ~59 fps · 86 Mbit/s · stutter at ~2 min | 60 fps · 330 Mbit/s · no stutter |
| Wi-Fi 6E | ~58 fps · 89 Mbit/s · stutter at ~2 min | 60 fps · 329 Mbit/s · no stutter |
Image quality test (VMAF 0–100, capture control = 94.5, same on both links)
| Score | Moonlight (HEVC) | Steam (PyroWave) |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 81 | 80 |
| Gameplay | 82 | 82 |
| Gameplay, worst 1% of frames | 58 | 78 |
| Desktop text | 80 | 73 |
Opinion based on the data and the "feel"
For ethernet - I prefer PyroWave even though the frame lag was close - the picture just looked a little smoother and a little better to me! But I was impressed by Moonlight's latency optimizations for HEVC.
For wifi - unless you're really confident in your wireless setup I'd recommend Moonlight's HEVC (or Steam's) for most people you're going to have a better time. I put a lot of effort into improving my wireless network, but I still couldn't get the latency as low as I'd like. But I still prefer the PyroWave picture on wifi

Suggestion Please Valve! Good Guy Nick!
They removed the YouTube
achievements from Team Fortress 2 so people can actually 100% the game now.
I'm asking Valve to please look at Good Guy Nick and either remove it or change it so it can be attainable!
