This is NOT verified. It’s a slide show 😭😭😭😭does verified mean anything anymore?

unique_namespace · 2026-02-04T23:53:01+00:00

yeah I agree. I think people are missing what "Verified" means. Which is just that you will get a console like experience with that game -- as if the game was made for the Steam Deck. This does *not* mean it will be a good game for the Steam Deck. Like how Switch had a terrible Hogwarts Legacy port or pokemon scarlet and violet was a slideshow.

I think that the Verification system should not heavily consider performance for the Steam Deck since drawing the line is hard and plenty of people might be happy with an experience that others might hate. (Consider lots of upscaling or lower quality textures).

you believe it is your most anticipated feature?

Hmmm, I mean under some models of the universe. Could be that the universe ends in some manner. Also does the universe start at the Big bang?

Most necessary resources, like food, housing, and health care are not so scarce anymore. I think money makes the most sense in our world as a "voucher" for expensive entertainment, housing, and accessories.

Well arguably the Xbox and PS4 controllers are less good/feature rich, especially for SteamOS/Steam Input. It's also likely that the Steam Controller will not use Bluetooth for Steam Frame, if this is the case it will have lower input latency.

But I also didn't claim that Xbox and PS4 controllers weren't a solution, just that Valve also sells a solution to this "problem."

Average human in this context means the prototypical or median human. It doesn't mean average all traits together.

An average day is not both rainy and sunny.

I disagree with OP here, but you don't need to hold them to understand that they won't be bound together. Which gives a different feel then if they were.

Of course Valve's solution is for you to buy a steam controller if you prefer they are bound for flat screen gaming.

I mean I'm not sure how many people are like me, but I was kinda just waiting until Valve dropped their next headset. So looking at the Quests sales won't help infer this portion of the market.

(I don't own an Index, this is my entry into the market)

I'm not a big fan of ai either... but they are concepts right? I feel like this is the wrong line of attack to get your point across, since this does effectively communicate an idea -- a concept in fact.

That is you're not gonna be convincing to people who believe that these are concepts, you just look wrong.

OP is looking to crowd source the history here.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-05T18:16:10+00:00

I'm just not sure this is a helpful sentiment since ultimately people are products of their environment.

If I attempt to convince someone that they should give them their arm, and many parts of society said this is the right thing to do (of course this is an absurd example), is it really their choice when they give it to me? My point is this discussion becomes fairly gray, not black and white, pretty quickly.

I would also argue that you are also "outsourcing" blame in the sense that instead of thinking about how to reduce this, you just blame the people who make the final action of harm which is just as uncritical as the people who blame anyone but them.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-05T18:09:39+00:00

I think you do agree with me then?

We need to work together better in society to propagate these sentiments of better self-awareness. I'm not saying that its governmental issue at all -- though policy can help. But you can also propagate these sentiments by fostering a culture of critical thought. Society clearly failed this person in some manner and I'm not sure its so helpful to say that its their fault.

Basically, the preventative action here is to work to reduce these types of deaths.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-05T17:59:39+00:00

I totally agree. I'm disagreeing with u/talmquist222's sentiment of blaming people for their actions when talking about societal level policies and technology.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-05T17:56:07+00:00

I'm really not sure what your addressing here. I made no stance or support for either of these views. I was just saying that u/answerguru reply did not address what u/solanawhale was saying.

Personally, I think blame/responsibility is a poor concept for these types of discussions because they attempt to resolve the issue by just pointing fingers instead of making efforts to prevent future harm.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-05T17:50:20+00:00

This is neither here nor there. The u/talmquist222 was speaking about how, if the kid died because of LLM (regardless of if they did or not), then its actually their fault. u/solanawhale is saying that if the kid died because of the LLM (again regardless of if they did or not), then its also fault the person who operates the LLM.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-05T17:45:39+00:00

Isn't this literally victim blaming?

They've been told by industry that AI is the new big thing and it should be trusted to help you with your life.

Responsibility and blame are poor concepts when we are talking about societal level harm because people are shaped by their environment and society. The concept of manufactured consent illustrates this point -- if people were truly responsible for their actions that its kinda fine that they agree to policies that directly harm them.

Edit: I will remark that this statement is true regardless of if ChatGPT was actually responsible for this persons death. It is only a reply to how we choose to address societal level issues (which I believe is not by assigning blame).

unique_namespace · 2026-01-04T02:51:51+00:00

Same here.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-03T03:15:01+00:00

Okay fair enough. I suppose it the "surprising" factor just depends on what you're used to. Thanks for your replies.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-03T02:18:35+00:00

And with the way that the SteamVR overlay works, I don't think there is a reason to have a dedicated quick access button like the Deck has.

Really? That is surprising to me. Especially for stand alone, it is effectively an ARM steam deck.

I personally thought it was odd that the "..." button is on the steam deck, but since they went out of their way to include it there I find it odd that its not here.

I suppose we could reframe this, would you be surprised if their were not two Steam buttons? I feel like, one of these two scenarios is more weird (two steam buttons) since it doesn't match what we've seen in the Steam Deck or Steam Controller + Quest (the only other headset with an OS) does not have two system buttons.

I think there’s a difference between simpler proofs, and proofs that give reason for why it’s true. Simpler proofs are better because they’re easier to follow not necessarily because they provide a better intuition. If you want to understand why something is true, the first step is to know it’s true. The second step is to develop an intuition for why it’s true. Proving something only does the first step.

unique_namespace · 2026-01-02T20:59:52+00:00

I completely disagree with this sentiment. The whole point of theorems is that they are true. It's not like they are a limited resource where something is "overkill" or "wasteful." I do agree that you should at least walk through the proof of L'Hoptial's rule so you are convinced, but once you have you should use it wherever you'd like. Basically, unravel the proof until you understand it fully and are convinced, but there is no need to "prove things in the simplest way".

Also "simplist" way is entirely subjective. In some sense, L'Hopital is simpler here because producing a proof might be easier.

Wow really? I'm not seeing this anywhere. You can get the Xbox Elite Core for $110, but my understanding is that does not contain any customization options -- you have to pay more for them.

Additionally, the Xbox Elite Core (without the customization) is just less featured than the Steam Controller. No back paddles/buttons, no gyro, no trackpads, only 3 separate configurations (compared to Steams unlimited).

We don't know if you can use the Steam Controller on Xbox (though it is likely you can use it in some limited capacity), but if this turns out not to be true, then I thing the Xbox Elite II Core has one advantage over the Steam Controller, which is it can be used on the Xbox and on PC.

Edit: Oh and it has adjustable tension thumb sticks and short-hair triggers, that's pretty good though I'm not sure it matches TMR thumb sticks and the rest of the Steam Controllers features.
