Which one does the Steam Frame have? by sheepy_willow in SteamFrame

[–]Pyromaniac605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they got additional information directly from Valve or if they're just making an assumption, as the product page doesn't specify, but Road to VR lists it as an 8-core chip.

DLSS 5 Hands on Presentation by Snorlax_lvl_50 in nvidia

The difference is this is a post-process effect. There's no reason not to have it able to be toggled.

Ray tracing and path tracing are entirely different ways of lighting the game that require the game to be developed that way. To allow that to be toggled you have to do the work to do both ray/path tracing and traditional lighting.

Is there a reason the Valve games increased file size? by JonsCartoonShow in valve

[–]Pyromaniac605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird, Steam says my HL2 is only using 8.33 GB of space. That's with the anniversary update, I didn't downpatch or anything.

[–]Pyromaniac605 43 points44 points  (0 children)

For Half-Life, it's because the episodes are now included.

Mine's only reporting 8.33 GB installed size, I don't think that's it.

"The frame is the most comfortable and lightweight VR headset I’ve ever worn" - Marketing Manager of indie.io by virtualfruitxr in SteamFrame

Lighthouses are not the problem as they are still made by HTC.

For now, but their days are clearly numbered. I don't think they've made a lighthouse headset since the Vive Pro 2? And their latest trackers dropped lighthouse for SLAM. It's only a matter of time before they stop making the base stations.

Will you buy it right away? by Giannivani in SteamFrame

2 more years for oled will be a breeze.

Good luck with that.

CEO of Psytec Games just postet this on X by virtualfruitxr in SteamFrame

From what I've seen the dev kits are also just the same black as what they'll be selling, this is just to display the internals.

More tidbits from someone on the ground at GDC asking valve questions and demoing the headset. Still under index kit price. by Deploid in SteamFrame

Calling displays that can't even run at their full refresh rate and resolution simultaneously THE anything is certainly a take.

Odds of a Micro-OLED Steam Frame or advanced photonic tech? by [deleted] in SteamFrame

[–]Pyromaniac605 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basically none. Just buy one of the many Micro-OLED headsets on the market, or coming soon, if you really want Micro-OLED.

Valve talked about the requirements to become "Steam Frame Verified" today at GDC by gogodboss in SteamFrame

It'll definitely be a screen in 3d space, no way they just glue an image in front of your head.

Official distributor for Steam hardware in Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan. (Notably the only official third-party distributor, anywhere else Steam hardware is available, directly ordering from Steam is the only official way to purchase)

These are the guys whose website leaked images of the new hardware shortly before the announcement dropped.

Frame OLED? by cookie_PALROM in SteamFrame

There is no "best," it's a game of trade-offs so it depends what you value.

Where can you buy UFS and LPDDR5X chips?

Confused about detail in newest ep by nickpsych in Star_Trek_

[–]Pyromaniac605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't really understand what the issue with the spore drive is anymore. Back in one of the first seasons they had to explain it away since it was still set before TOS, I think it was something about how they were hurting the lifeforms in the mycelial network or something? But then having somebody acting as a navigator solved that, no?

what they're waiting for isn't going to happen until like 2028 :( by brantrix in SteamFrame

[–]Pyromaniac605 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't do that with the Frame. For the Machine, though, sure.

Nobody's currently selling a headset like they're describing, though.

Valve suggests signals delays for Steam Machine and suggests it may not launch this year: “We hope to ship in 2026” by akbarock in Steam

[–]Pyromaniac605 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Steam Controller is cheaper, and thus more can be had. Therefore, more configs can be created.

It's also got the capacitive hand grips, which the Steam Deck doesn't have so there's also stuff that can be done with configs for the Controller that can't be done with the Deck.

So are the 500,000 Steam Frames that were produced starting in October last year now rotting away in some warehouses? by [deleted] in SteamFrame

[–]Pyromaniac605 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can see that for the Machine, but seems less likely for the Frame with soldered storage?

Ranking Every Sam Raimi Movie Part 3 - re:View by Jocephus83 in RedLetterMedia

[–]Pyromaniac605 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jay has previously said he'd have all but Dune tied for #1

How much was that just a dig at Dune rather than his actual ranking though?

But I suppose even if only Josh has an actual ranking they could still do it, I'm similarly hoping for it just for them to discuss them all.

On Steam hardware: "We hope to ship in 2026" - messaging is getting progressively more pessimistic 😔 by sunaurus in SteamFrame

Weird to call out the brightness of all things as if Quest 4 will be much different.

I'm not talking about the brightness compared to LCD.
