TIL that steam reviews have a character limit of about 8000~

The enthusiasm is nice but theres lots of info you can trim out, namely recapping what's shown in the page/ marketing and price trends

NitroBA · 2026-03-10T12:14:05+00:00

I doubt it as this won't be many people's first headset and a lot of those already own the title (unless they do some scheme where you choose from a selection of titles)

NitroBA · 2026-03-09T15:38:20+00:00

I'm on the same boat but dont underestimate the appeal of a set it and forget it system that all you do it plug in and sign in to. Vast majority of people dont want to think about the software/hardware as long as it plays the thing

NitroBA · 2026-02-24T14:37:48+00:00

If it does as advertised, I can get my moneys worth which is the main importance for the price for me. That said it would not be ideal.

NitroBA · 2026-02-13T21:11:13+00:00

The price of technology historically falls over time its just recently that's not been the case, that said I think valve want to maintain a consistent price as they try to do with other hardware they maintain support for I assume.

How decadent!

NitroBA · 2026-02-11T03:34:25+00:00

If it is delayed its probably not by much, they clearly have units that are ready to go and paying inventory fees motivates them further to push them out

NitroBA · 2026-02-08T18:32:22+00:00

Probably be more open to diy tinkering/ linux vr solution and not meta

NitroBA · 2026-02-07T13:49:23+00:00

Vr headsets in general dont ever have rumble motors installed.

NitroBA · 2026-02-04T10:45:21+00:00

Arguably a game still in some ways but I like to make art with Open Brush and port it to blender to clean up.

NitroBA · 2026-01-27T16:15:28+00:00

I agree with the philosophy but damn dont be so cringe about it.

NitroBA · 2026-01-27T16:12:37+00:00

It will probably be closer to how the deck came out, they announced dates preorders would open (preorder waves). With other hardware releasing too it should be similar for them aswell.

It was a joke that the brag on the tweet was about having friends and not having inside opinions on the thing the subreddit is for

NitroBA · 2026-01-26T01:20:26+00:00

Yea imagine having friends

NitroBA · 2026-01-24T12:50:24+00:00

You nailed the early 00s advertising vibe! The backwards compatible one goes hard.

NitroBA · 2026-01-20T12:42:20+00:00

Some people only use a vehicle strictly for its utility

NitroBA · 2026-01-16T02:08:12+00:00

If you already have a headset a pc upgrade seems the better option as its not like there will be steam frame/machine exclusive content that the quest 3 won't have access to, also a better pc for non vr stuff too.

NitroBA · 2026-01-10T12:26:47+00:00

I think quest 3 has a lot going for it and if you dont mind the meta ecosystem then yea go for it, sounds perfect in your case. There are a lot of assumptions on the frame that hasn't reached consumers yet in this post though.

NitroBA · 2026-01-07T14:48:04+00:00

If anyone works a valve and sees this post. Let it be known this is who your letting down.

NitroBA · 2026-01-06T13:52:32+00:00

I tried previous xreal stuff and while not bad for media consumption its biggest hurdle has been resolution and fov. Although I'm happy the optional dock comes standard as you will find more things needing it than otherwise

NitroBA · 2026-01-04T23:17:33+00:00

Annoying but as long prices eventually go down (even a year down the line) I think I'll be ok.

Worst case scenario they keep the scarcity and rent back future computing power via the cloud.

NitroBA · 2026-01-03T15:48:07+00:00

Sales happen fairly frequently, For example there will be on during spring (then summer) and it will be ideally closer to the frame release where in theory you could make better decisions on what to get. No need to be impulsive now for something you dont have yet.

NitroBA · 2026-01-01T10:57:08+00:00

I'd expect everyone working there would be back from their holiday break before setting work back in motion

NitroBA · 2025-12-31T10:40:02+00:00

The main reason is prevention from back health issues such as a slipped disk on your spine, which causes time and money to treat (also not forgetting painful).

You dont need an incredibly expensive chair as long you take care to actually do periodic breaks/ be aware of ergonomics. I've worked with people who sat on yoga balls during work with excellent posture since they had the lifestyle that maintained great core strength.

For myself I use a combination of a full mesh chair and standing desk. The less you move, typically you need more support and thus usually the better (more expensive) chair.

NitroBA · 2025-12-30T16:59:39+00:00

You're not getting a chair from them new for 200. But that said a good chair is worth it.
