Strange, for me it only says that you are limited to one *purchase* per household. Nothing about the signup.


FWIW the Quest 1 is still capable and has been rooted recently so that you can use it without the Meta shit. Should be able to find a used one for quite cheap.

Oh, thanks, didn't see that. I wanted to sign up everyone in the family.

As of now it does not work with the Steam Machine, which is kind of embarrassing. Though I expect them to fix that ASAP. Hopefully at least a beta version is available when customers get it.

I think some of the best VR games are unofficial ports of flat games like Jedi Outcast or Alien Isolation. In my opinion VR is the definitive way of playing Doom 3.

Yeah, but think of all the VR porn!

Maybe they've changed it by now. Heroic is also working on itch integration, so I'm holding out for that.

I wonder if the headless mode has anything to do with Heroic's upcoming itch support. Heroic would only add stores if they could utilise an external cli program to use it. Not sure if that is still the case.

The trouble with the Linux support is that you could only download games with Linux versions with it. And I think only those that have been uploaded in a very specific way.

Especially with games that are on console I cannot fathom how they don't have the option of displaying huge texts. With the Steam Machine (or any computer) hooked up to a big TV the fonts are still often unreadable.

I mean, there is. Just with two levels instead of three. Playable and verified are the two highest and on top of that we have Unsupported for everything where we know that it doesn't work and unknown which can be pretty much any of them but more often than not plays well.

You could try looking for local listings of SSDs. I saw someone selling their 512 GB Steam Deck SSD on ebay for cheap because they had upgraded.

There are ways to recalibrate it, maybe that's all you need to do.

The built-in controls are already pretty good.

Man, I love open source! Great work!


There is a way to inject FSR 4 into games but only if they already support another upscaling algorithm like FSR 3 or DLSS. Don't know about the Steam Machine/Deck specifically but in general it's called optiscaler. I bet there is a Decky plugin to make it easier to activate.

Someone could make a custom front plate with a vertical disc drive.


I guess some of the games falsely seeing the Machine as a Deck check for Proton.

Well, I was shocked when I couldn't use my Quest 1 controllers on my PC. But luckily Valve is much more open.
