Legion Go 2 vs Streaming from desktop

I have had a Legion Go S 32gb running Steam OS for the past few months and loved it so far. I recently bought Subnautica 2, and it has some trouble running the game at the level I would consider acceptable without heavy FSR. For me acceptable is 50fps on medium graphics. In the case of Sub 2, that’s also turning resolution down to 1280x800. My benchmark is generally Fallout 4, which I know is a significantly older game, but can run at Ultra settings at 1920x1200 50FPS almost consistently.

Last week I bought a desktop with the intention of streaming games to my Go S. The streaming has been pretty reliable so far, with a few hiccups here and there and the occasional artifacts from streaming which are to be expected. I don’t really ever envision myself sitting and playing a game natively off of the desktop.

The research I have done points to the Go 2 having 10%-20% uplift over the Go S. The desktop and Go 2 are about equal in pricing right now at roughly $2200 after tax, which is the upper end of my budget. At that price the desktop is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than the Go 2, but if I’m only using it for a streaming box then I’m kneecapping it either way. Battery life doesn’t matter all that much to me as I’m normally always near a charger or have an external battery.

After all that backstory, my question is should I return the desktop and get a Legion Go 2 instead? Would I get a better experience running things off the Go 2 than streaming from the desktop?

Unequal System Heating and Cooling

So I have one AC unit for the upstairs of a house. Half the upstairs is a bedroom/bathroom, and the other half is kitchen and living room. In the summer, the bedroom hardly cools but living room cools no problem. In the winter, the living room barely gets heat and the bedroom gets too hot.

If it were unequal airflow, I would think one side of the house would consistently be getting more airflow, not have one side get too much of one and the other get too much of the other. Sure the temperature of the air will change some flow properties, but would it be enough to cause night and day difference like that?

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Think This is Slime Mold?

Found what Google tells me is slime mold, but want a second opinion since I’ve found the image search to be less than reliable in the past. Located in Lake Ouachita State Park in Arkansas. It’s the only bit of this mold I’ve seen anywhere in the park. Does anyone know why it would only grow in this singular spot out of an entire forest? If it is slime mold, is it the type that you can do fun things with like solving mazes and such?
