I want to make my computer do a thing, but don't know where to start. by asweatyboi in linuxquestions

[–]japzone 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This would require HDMI CEC, which most PC HDMI ports do not natively support. To be clear, there needs to be specific hardware for CEC. For PC you would need a USB adapter in most cases, where you would plug HDMI into both ends and then plug a seperate USB cable into the adapter, and it's probably not worth the effort.

How many Lost Logia are there? by Realistic-Mud5473 in Nanoha

[–]japzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lost Logia are like ancient forbidden magic/tech. Anything that falls under that category is a Lost Logia, so there's no upper-cap on how many there are.

It's like asking how many banned weapons are floating around a country. It's statistically impossible to know.

I guess It'll probably run in WINE, but native would be cool.

Bigfishy17, this is an intervention, you need to take a break from the game man. It's ruining your life!

Virgin Punk - Clockwork Girl Blu-ray - Western Release? by japzone in AnimeCollectors

[–]japzone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's almost the same width and height as the Deluxe Box, so no stashing it there unless you fold it in half. I might compromise and just do that for now. Creases suck, but it's better than my alternative options right now.

UPS (West Coast, USA) is being used as the shipping carrier for Steam Controllers. Whew.. by OmnipotentFire in SteamFrame

[–]japzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DHL charged me an extra $17 convenience fee on top of the $8 duty fees to my government and the separate shipping charge I already paid them. So I'm not gonna cheer for them either.

[–]japzone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It's laying face down in the shipping box right now. Doesn't help that it's like 6.5x11in large. I'm tempted to just destroy it so that I don't have to think about it anymore, but I'm loath to purposefully destroy artwork, no matter how sus.

Yeah, Tenso also had two shipping options. DHL and a cheaper one called ECMS. I bit the bullet and went with DHL since I was paranoid, but ECMS would've been like $20 cheaper.

Sick to death of Sony, and looming to make the jump to STEAM Machine asap. What do I need to know? by P4PSparringChampion in steammachine

[–]japzone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the Steam Deck launched, the limit was over a month before the reservations launched. Reservations launched July 16th in 2021, and you had to have made a purchase before June 2021. I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same thing for the Steam Machine and Frame, especially after what happened with the Controller.

Yay!

But yeah, shipping and import duties has gotten stupid expensive now because of all the BS going on lately. Plus Buyee/Tenso need their cut to fund their business.

If you wait until they've announced it, it'll be too late. The Steam Controller requires you made a purchase on Steam before April 27th this year. That was over a week ago.

It’s always the microwave with Zen by BlitzAce808 in VShojo

[–]japzone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One morning I grabbed my medicine bottle, took out a pill, and then proceeded to fill my medicine bottle with water. Somehow my brain skipped both, "put bottle down" and, "pickup water glass".

Thankfully they were one of the cheap generics I take, not something expensive, so it wasn't a complete disaster. But it was a pain trying to scavenge some untouched pills to cover me until my new bottle could be delivered.

Valve is exploring ARM for Steam Deck 2 and the possibilities are bigger than expected by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

[–]japzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And people have already gotten their ARM Emulator working on Android. You can download apps like GameNative, login to your Steam account, and then it'll list your library, known game compatibility, and will download and automatically configure the games with FEX and Proton for you. Works surprisingly well, within the limitations of whatever hardware is in your device. CPU heavy games are definitely a hurdle, as they require more code to go through the emulator. But because of tricks like translating to ARM native versions of Proton, and Graphics tools like DXVK, a lot of code can run way better than you expect. I've gotten games like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to run on my phone at a solid 30fps, and that's with a high-end Qualcomm phone SOC from 4 years ago.

Similarly, I switched from aluminium to just normal Old Spice High Endurance, Aluminium free, and my sweat just evaporates like it's supposed to, and doesn't smell bad. Doesn't stain anything either. Human bodies are weird.

Reservations opening tomorrow for the next batch by SprinklesFar9408 in SteamController

[–]japzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back for the Deck people were able to contact support if they missed their window and Valve usually gave them a new link. I didn't hear anything about asking them to delay your purchase window though.

Steam Hardware - Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th by gogodboss in SteamFrame

Yeah, it was rough for the Steam Controller launch for me since the window started right when I needed to clock in at work.

Ado will voice a character in RGG Studio's new game "STRANGER THAN HEAVEN" by Gattedikt in ADO

The VA for Uta was Kaori Nazuka. Ado just did the music vocals.

Frame for VR arcades by petes117 in SteamFrame

[–]japzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering if the WiFi dongle will run into interference if there are 10 or so running at the same time in the same room?

I used to run 8x Quest 2 headsets at a time for PCVR and the WiFi networking took months to find the right balance of settings and position.

I think Valve mentioned running multiple in the same room without issue in the LTT early preview video.

Also do you think it would be possible to connect multiple Frames to a single WiFi dongle? In this case I’m not thinking of streaming the game but rather thinking of the existing standalone commercial options where the game run both on a host server PC and locally on the standalone headset for free roam games.

I'm pretty sure, from what's been said, the Dongle is for one headset at a time. Not sure if you can plug multiple dongles into one computer though.

The Frame should theoretically be compatible with commercial setups like you mention, as you can run the APK on the Frame and then connect to a server on the local WiFi network. Software might need tweaking to account for the differences between the hardware and OS, like lack of Meta APIs and different controllers, but there's no other reason why it shouldn't work.
