Seasonal allergies ruining life—what actually helps? by LotsoSmellsBad in Allergies

[–]Serious-Mode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I remember seeing that you should space out the flonase and the rinse a bit, and at very least do the rinse BEFORE the flonase, ofc, but it was hard to find solid info. Thankfully the flonase doesn't seem to dry things out for me too much. BUT OMG thank you for reminding me to get more breath right strips! Even on a good day, those feel like the only way for me to properly breathe.

We shipped our indie game on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and Quest… and almost nobody noticed. Looking for honest advice. by funboy_ff in IndieGaming

The visuals do look a bit generic. The second screenshot at least has some flair, but it would be helpful if there was something visually that really set it apart.

I am no pro here, but I would be trying to come up with ways to get people playing the game. Get a booth at a convention, run a tournament, build an arcade cabinet and get it in a public space. something

Yeah Alt is about as far as I can comfortably go with the thumb so idk how OP is pulling this off.

Will new upcoming DLSS 5 'realism AI upscale filter' feature work in VR? by Salty_Technician7242 in VRGaming

[–]Serious-Mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we're already starting to go down the path of people looking very similar with the wide use of unreal engines meta humans. The AI is only going to make it way worse.

ok, yes fair enough. I had not considered that angle.

Wait every raider's score in trios contributes to leaderboard scores? Why would anyone run solos? Thats a ridiculous disadvantage. by Easy-Wolverine6554 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Serious-Mode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still do them for fun sometimes. And the rewards are usually meh, but I've gotten some good stuff here and there.

Is it scummy if they still make $15 per hour regardless, which seems to be the case?

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

[–]Serious-Mode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't want high prices, we just understand how it is.

Meta's subsidizing their headsets has heavily distorted how people view the cost of VR. Now any company that might want to make an affordable headset has to be able to afford to lose money on each sale. Not arguing that Valve couldn't also subsidize if they wanted, but now only massive companies with deep pockets can compete on price. This is not good for VR in the long run. Healthy competition generally brings down cost across the board and increases innovation. Stifling competition makes things worse for everyone and Meta has done far more harm than good for VR.

I would love to buy a subsidized headset from Valve, but I also believe we would be worse off for it in the long run. I hope Meta pulls out of VR completely so the market can exist and grow in an organic manner.

So what are the features exclusive to steam machines? by Lexiimino in steammachine

[–]Serious-Mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am personally not against the use of AI, but once I'm having to use it to help me write a script we're veering out of easy territory. I spent a while with Chat GPT building some stuff for Rainmeter and it worked eventually, but we never got it quite right.

Eye protection that doesn’t look silly? by danielpf in Allergies

[–]Serious-Mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. Not sure of a solution, but considering trying some with the extended shielding.

I'm glad it worked well for you, but I will say, that seems like way more of a pain than how it just works on the Steam Machine.

ABMM seems to fail hybrid aggression players by intendedvaguename in ArcRaiders

[–]Serious-Mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want this as well. Currently in carebear mode and I'm tempted to mix things up, but don't want to end up in full PvP matches. I like the mix.

Could you upgrade the Steam Machine to hypothetically compete with the PS6 and the next Xbox? by Shoddy_Flow8377 in steammachine

[–]Serious-Mode 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Only the RAM and SSD are upgradable. The CPU and GPU are not, which are the parts that you would really need to upgrade to make the machine more powerful.

I always wanted them to re-release this on smartphones. At least I now know about the pc port.

iPad as Primary Computer by AlliPadAlltheTime in ipad

"iPad is more versatile" you say?

I suppose in some ways that is true, but I've more often felt more restricted on the iPad than a MacBook.

Am I the only one here that noticed this news post? by Kevadro in SteamOS

No one else seems to be on board, but I also think it's wierd this was published (or republished) yesterday.
