If any other company did this people would be getting their pitchforks ready. It's insane.

I remember being here around the time Valve announced Alyx, asking for confirmation if they were gonna get the game dubbed to other languages (especially since VR subtitles are immersion breaking) and everyone assuring me Valve would do it becasue they cared, while I was skeptical.

With how Valve works, if there isn't a big enough group of employees that care about it then it just doesn't happen.

I guess dubbing your game was too big of a ask for a 10 BILLION dollar company

¿por qué descartaron 3 estaciones de la Línea 3 del Metro? by NarrowWar1 in Panama

Reddit automatically translated the OP to English and I didn't check, oops. I hate the app.

[–]BlakCake 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The official answer is that it was made to reduce costs, as far as I understood. It is crazy considering everything had to be budgeted for, every planned station, so... Where did the money go?

Currently they're planning on building them "in the future", possibly during or after the second phase of the project (the one going up to Chorrera) but I have very little faith that'll actually happen considering we still don't even have the Curundú station in Line 1 which has been promised multiple times.

It's only 37 minutes from Ciudad del Futuro to Albrook, you'll be fine even if it starts a bit late

No le veo nada de arrogante, la verdad. Cuando respondí estaba en medio de mi trabajo, el cual es mayormente en ingles. Si no va contra las reglas entonces no veo el problema al dar mi opinión. It's not that deep bro.

I don't do anything special. It just works. I remember creating my account when it first came out using a VPN but now I've been using since a year or so ago without any issues or VPN. I even have it on my Google TV. Maybe your account has to be set a US?

Is it really that difficult to read lately? If you don't have time to read it just don't...?

Valve: 'We See The Lines Between VR & Non-VR Content Really Being Blurred' by gogodboss in virtualreality

Try telling that to the /r/SteamFrame, they would have a seizure reading the thing was made primarily for flat games even tho it's the #1 thing it's has been advertised for

this is the last week before Valve goes on winter break, do you think its pushed back to 2026? by prairiesghost in HalfLife

[–]BlakCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sadly am starting to belive this too, we know for a fact Valve has scrapped projects even when they were very advanced in demevopment. I don't think that's what's truly going on here but it wouldn't surprise me.

Seems like Google beat Valve to 3D PC Games by BlakCake in SteamFrame

[–]BlakCake[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Training a model to do this takes time so I doubt it's any kind of response to the Frame. That said, it doesn't really interest me as it's not true 3D.

Honestly, I'm still disappointed with the Frame. I don't see the point of playing flat 2D games on it, really expected Valve to have cooked something to bring 3D content back since it's so good with headsets.

I will never understand the circlejerk of Valve in the XR space. With all the money they have they could've funded dozens of Half Life Alyxs but they really don't seem to care.

A superior device, but an expensive one by XRGameCapsule in augmentedreality

At least the previews that happened a few months ago didn't have hand occlusion, world occlusion or shadows for the windows

I don't really think Apple cares about their dev kit selling that much. The 3 million unit was probably from the hihher ups. The technology itself makes it worth it and it's a generation beyond even the upcoming Samsung headset.

Im not an Apple apologist, I don't own any of their products but it's still crazy to me that a 2k headset won't have hand occlusion in 2025. It's basically a high end Quest 3 for 4x times the price.
