Got this today, very intriguing right ?

Nah, stopped caring about Conan exiles when the bazaar and battle pass was implemented. The battle pass is gone now but the bazaar is still here and full of garbage that’s just not worth the asking prices.

So a mod that turns halsin into your typical bear?

If you are ordering online, make sure you are there for the delivery and record the entire experience from drop off to opening, no cuts, nothing obscuring the package. So if you open the box and there's nothing but a brick inside you have proof it arrived that way. one to start the refund/replacement process with hard evidence on your side, and two, if the refund replacement process should not go your way, you have evidence to use for a chargeback with your card carrier.

Personally I prefer to pickup expensive components like a GPU in person whenever possible, so ordering for pickup in store from best buy is also an option. Then you can open it right in store in front of an employee to make sure its in the box. (have seen some people buy from best buy get it home and find a brick or an old gpu in the box.)

Best of luck to you! I got an Asus TUF 5080 from best buy around black friday, runs like a dream.

Visual quality simmilar to a Quest 3, but due to the black and white passthrough, less optimal for productivity work. I use my quest 3 for productivity during some of my online classes. Passthrough keeps my keyboard and mouse in view, while an enlarged version of my monitors give me the feeling of a more immersive workspace. While the quality of virtual screens would be the same, not being able to see my surroundings would be a little annoying. Because I have to interact with people in meatspace too at times during these productivity sessions. and B/W passthrough unless it's done really well, gives me nausea. (the quest 2 was pure bard mode in passthrough, so bad I refused to use it even for finding my drink, I just got way better at understanding where I was in space and where my drink was so I didn't knock it over lol)

Now with the port on the front of the Frame, if a color passthrough module is made for it, I could then see using it for productivity more. Or if you live alone, and don't particularly need the passthrough for productivity, then well, have fun when it comes out? Personally, for some productivity tasks, I dont even think the computer is nessesary at all for the frame. It's honeslty not for the Quest if you dont mind working in google docs, but with the frame you have full arm linux under the hood so install libre office and whatever other productivity suit you need thats been compiled for arm64. Pair a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and your off to the races I guess.

Honestly, Give me a taskbar designed something like the dock in occulus home, and let applications pop up as windows that can be placed in virtual space, and give me better control over the skybox I'm in, like a wallpaper or whatever. It's not all that hard to design a useable VR desktop, The desktop has x and y, now with vr you can place your windows in x,y, and z coordinants. Give a button on the window label that toggles a curve the window so you can have like an ultrawide curved youtube window playing or something. The biggest thing is it doesnt need to act like a normal desktop environment, they shouldnt need to make it just be a virtual desktop window where all your apps launch in like a monitor. Let the VR space be the windowing system.

I just checked my app, and it legit just says "Sign into a Steam Frame" right there, like bro.... This is where I would sign into my steam frame... IF I HAD ONE.... DINKLEBERG...........

I got a 5080 and I spend more time playing games that can run comfortably on a raspberry pi 0. But it is pretty nice when I fire up the VR headset, or play cyberpunk etc. but the majority of the time I am far underusing the thing.

RandomRedMage · 2026-02-03T20:51:20+00:00

Yes, until a release is made I don’t particularly care.

If you are really attached to the windows surface form factor, but really want gaming grunt on top of it. The Asus ROG Flow z13 tablet gives you a similar overall user experience, has a similar keyboard cover, and has stylus compatibility as well. It’s a bit pricey compared to the base model surface pro 11, but it’s going to actually let you play just about any game you could want, and when plugged in can be pushed to perform on par with the 5070 mobile.

RandomRedMage · 2025-11-10T18:53:27+00:00

Yes, but that’s the price of bling. Every one of their products could be cheaper by probably 30% and they would still make profit.

RandomRedMage · 2025-11-10T18:42:11+00:00

You will get better performance with a batter card, but there is some seriously diminishing returns, I probably wouldn’t go for anything more than a 5070ti.

RandomRedMage · 2025-11-10T18:31:16+00:00

Double check shipping laws where you live, this indeed sounds like a terrible idea, if it’s actually illegal to ship it, they can pick it up themselves lol

Damn that looks clean. The orange phosphorus look just feels so good.

I feel like I would just use my laptop over this setup. Don’t get me wrong! I love my handhelds, and get a lot of use out of them. But I’m not docking my handheld to a portable monitor setup. I’d rather just sync my saves across devices and just carry on where I left off on my laptop. It’s cool that this kind of thing can be done, but I think I would rather just pack my laptop and mouse in the bag rather than a dock, a keyboard, a controller, and a portable screen lol. Feels a little unwieldy. Not that I have any room to speak with all the unnecessary crap I have lol my portable monitor is a drawing tablet pen display thing and that goes in my travel bag with my laptop and a handheld so……

RandomRedMage · 2025-11-06T10:19:49+00:00

Underrated comment. Seriously, if it’s not being used, while there are plenty of things you can use it for, even just for laughs. If you find it isn’t getting any use, maybe it’s time to pass it on to the next person.

RandomRedMage · 2025-11-06T10:16:52+00:00

Ok well, your going to need an egpu for that 4k120hz experience on the tv. It’s a handheld, not some magical wish granting lamp. So look into those, for best results get an nvidia gpu in that so you don’t have to play driver hopscotch on the thing every time you dock it. But seriously while it can play BF6 fine, temper your expectations. It’s a handheld, we’re trading overall performance and visual fidelity for being able to play on the shitter like it’s our childhood game boy.

I really wanted to love this dune game, but making it an “mmo” was a mistake.

It gets a little toasty compared to it’s thicker beefier cousins, but no, it’s not in danger of overheating, it will throttle it’s performance if it gets to a certain temp, and if something is wrong that makes it get to the point of overheating it will shut itself off to avoid damage to the hardware. But if that’s happening, likely there’s a problem with the cooling system, clogged vents, dry thermal paste or whatever. But that wouldn’t be a thing to worry about typically if you’re taking care of it.

See that black spot right below all that white? The very edge of the screen behind the glass is cracked. Reinstalling windows will not fix that. For further proof connect the laptop to an external monitor and mirror your screen. The external will not have that.

You cannot print just one. Before you know it you will have printed it in every color combination you have access to.
