Year I don't expect it to be as good as the Apple one

I think the whole wired lighthouse thing kept me away...

I've been looking for a wireless one for years that's not made by Zuckerfuck

rip

I mean none of this makes much sense to me. I dunno why they don't just send them all at once...but it seems like sooner would be better than later.

Honestly I haven't really looked into many VR games other than Alyx and Beat Saber. I'll figure it out when it gets here LOL.

I'm also very intrigued by the whole "spacial computing" thing.

That seems...not good.

What does it mean if I received nothing?

Haha thanks, but my estimate was about 3 months out of date

Pretty much every existing streaming method is complicated and had poor results. Not to mention the lack of foveated streaming.

Super sour about the not included PSU. Hate it about the smartphone market, too.

I have like 3k of these things, so personally I'm very happy to not have to spend another $30 on a worse one that's just going to get chucked in a drawer anyway.

Almost a year after initial unveiling and they still haven't figured out streaming from their own hardware!?

I've been using one in a Pi5 for like 6 years.

It doesn't specify the length but it looks a lot longer than 30mm, so probably not.

I ran on a MicroSD for years with no problem. Doesn't need to be reliable, it's just for gaming.

tl;dr "We expect everyone in the reservation queue will have the option to purchase by the end of this year."

Good for the future of Steam hardware.

Yeah, autocorrect. Thanks.

Issue #1: The performance overlay is too small. I haven’t figured out which of the scaling options affect it (if any)

There isn't any.

Issue #2: Some games have it hidden when they detect they’re running on a “Steam Deck”.

Add 'steamdeck=0 %command%' to launch options

Issue #3: Proton.

It just uses the latest Proton available for all games, I believe.

I don't know what they check but my Bazzite desktop is often detected as a Steam Deck, which is infuriating because they apply all the wrong settings, and will even **remove** others until you reboot the game with 'steamdeck=0' and it doesn't even give you any indication that it's happening.

Should work just fine without any work. Just plop it in.
