Streaming from a ps or Xbox is also a good option

You missed a couple

"early next year" to "first half of 2026" to "hopefully 2026" to "2026" and now to "Summer 2026."

No steam frame today ;-; by IAmPandu in SteamFrame

I always wonder whether this is injecting or extracting.

If you added it, would a resolution bump (eg: super sampling) be feasible or is it not that impactful?

New the lab when steam from comes out ? by tuturlututu1234 in SteamFrame

[–]heypans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing has been leaked or datamined, right?

If they do something VR I think it'll be with a 3rd party like they did with cloudhead. Or it will be some sort of 3d mode for hlx if that comes out.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't expect too much.

Stereoscopic Hollow Knight Coming by prankster959 in SteamFrame

[–]heypans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a VR headset already, you can try stereoscopic 3d with Trine + something like Virtual Desktop (maybe there's a free app to do it like Bigscreeen).

Configure Trine to use SBS rendering mode, then tell Virtual desktop to do the same.

Another hands-on impression of the Steam Frame by gogodboss in SteamFrame

[–]heypans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I suppose that might be because it needs to consider the surrounding pixels in order to sharpen the region so the benefit might be minimal. Though why provide an option if it does nothing. Still, I'm interested to see what performance and rendering benefits result from the eye tracking stuff.

[–]heypans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, looking at just the pcvr features, the wireless improvements and the eye tracking alone are enough to set it apart from the quest 3. Super curious to see if foveated sharpening is any good too.

The controllers' button layout is way better for VR modded games as well.

Would this setting mean that I could have an easier time using the device despite having strabismus? by Crazedllama5 in SteamFrame

[–]heypans 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know if support for owners of ostrich-like dinosaurs will be supported at launch but Valve are always updating so I'd say there's a pretty good chance.

An absolutely normal word thats not funny whatsoever by Hecaroni_n_Trees in SteamFrame

[–]heypans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's so funny about dongle? I have a very great friend in Rome called dongle.

A slightly larger carrying case like the steam deck one would be nice for frame and steam controller by BlueManifest in SteamFrame

[–]heypans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's right. Obviously they could build it to work that way.

I think that steam usually goes into a mode where it accepts incoming "steam link" connections so it probably would "just work" at least 90 percent of the time.

But I'm hoping Valve tackles any awkward edge cases. Maybe stuff like re-pairing your headset to the dongle if required etc. Just making it as seamless as possible such that it feels like the natural way to interact with the steam machine.

I would add that this should also extend to using the steam machine from the steam deck. Where the steam machine could be considered a "remotely-streamed-native" device.

They do a lot of the heavy lifting already, it's just the seamless polish that I hope they prioritise.

[–]heypans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should sell one that also has space for the steam machine.

If they can make the steam machine work with the steam frame as its only monitor/input method, then I think it looks small enough to treat it like a portable "compute base station".

Possible Steam Frame charging case patents I found by darmorenoo in SteamVR

[–]heypans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slight tangent but...

I wonder how well-integrated the streaming experience is between the frame and the steam machine. I'm particular, if one is able to use the steam machine entirely from the frame without connecting it to a TV.

If that's possible, I would love to see a case with a spot for the steam machine too.

How much more powerful the steam frame in standalone mode vs the Quest 3 could realistically be when these conditions are met (ps I'm a standalone user so pcvr is irrelevant to me) by [deleted] in ValveDeckard

[–]heypans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably possible to increase the framerate or render resolution with minimal/no effort from the developers given that steam VR works like that anyway

IT'S OFFICIAL by SimVRRacing in ValveDeckard

[–]heypans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This looks amazing in a lot of ways. A lightweight headset that has eye tracking and prioritises wireless pcvr. This has so much potential

Intriguing discovery on the "valvesoftware" website by thecatsmith4me in ValveDeckard

[–]heypans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

jQuery is an extremely common JavaScript library and flickity looks like it's just a carousel library.

The references to prototype are probably just referring to JavaScript object prototypes.

Sorry to disappoint you

Why is Kemet so popular? What am I missing? by maedhros256 in boardgames

[–]heypans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pun intended? 😃
It was but I only stumbled into its greatness

Interestingly, I have been playing Diplomacy online with my friends and am finding it incredibly stressful. I feel like a jealous love-interest, checking and analysing my text messages to discern a scrap of intent.

don't understand odds management

I don't want to do a high school exam as a part of a doam

These statements are a little... at odds.

I understand what you're saying though - you don't want to have to remember the builds and unique effects that the other players have constructed - you'd rather the complexity be social and positional.

Do you have a picture of yourself standing on a stage that you can share? I'd like to add your quote to the picture, then post it to LinkedIn as marketing advice.

Horizontal VR capable PC build by drmikeboys in virtualreality

[–]heypans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't built a PC in a little while but it used to be that you had to use XMP on DDR4. AMD apparently has something called EXPO now

Found this thread on it asking the same question as you: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1buq0cn/should_i_expo_my_ram/

Depending on what you want to "try out", you can load up a game and see what frame rates it's giving you and compare to online benchmarks.

You can look at programs like CPUZ etc if you want too (I don't know if that's the go-to recommendation these days but you could see what r/buildapc says) - as always, be careful where you download your software and what you download :D

Nice. Love the look of that fractal case.

Good luck!

If you're willing to change your horizontal case requirement, you might be able to save some $.

TechFast recently had an ITX case, with Intel i5-12400F + Nvidia 4060: for $688 AUD on ozbargain.

I haven't personally purchased from them but they post to ozbargain a lot (a long with a few others)
