Steam Deck Brick Mod: No screen, no controller, and absolutely no sense, just a power button and a USB port.

  So a steam machine.

    A very compact, portable steam machine.

      With battery too

  Just makes me think of Voidstar Labs. It’s useless, it involves 3D printing, and it could turn an entire gaming device into wearable tech. Amazing.

  That actually is something that I’ve been contemplating doing. I never use the built-in display - HMD glasses are just much nicer.

    Recommendations?

      Previously, I’d have recommended Xreal Air but the company is allergic to open-source and doesn’t have a great track record of supporting their own software. At the moment, Viture seems a better bet, from those that I’m aware of. For screen replacement, the high pixels-per-degree of birdbath optics, like both use, are extremely advantageous and cause much less eye strain. And that’s while being far cheaper than waveguides or pancake optics.

    I can’t believe he got robbed. That Nvidia pc was so awesome.

  I can’t help but figure it’d be cheaper to custom build a device instead of stripping down a Steam Deck. I suppose it was probably gotten used, but still.

    If you buy a refurbished one on sale it’s pretty cheap, I double you can make a comparable powerful device that compact for that price.

  If you hate your Steam Deck. :D Jokes aside, I am always flabbergasted by the ingenuity and knowledge of extreme modders like him. He has a use case and first it sounded stupid, but after reading a little bit it makes sense for him. I guess there is no solution like this one can buy, right? Or is it too expensive? It just hurts me personally seeing the Deck crippled like that (just jokingly talking here, man I am funny as hell today). But there was some really cheap refurbished old Decks sold on the Steam site.

  Interesting project, but not my taste to be honest.

    Reminds me of mods like the GameCube Nano. I dunno if it’s possible, but it would be kinda cool if someone figured out how to shrink the Deck further.

  That’s so sick. How much did this cost all up and would it be more economical to buy the parts from scratch instead of using a steamdeck?

  So isn’t this just basically what the Valve Deckard is going to be?

  Can the Deck even drive VR graphics? It’s a powerhouse at it’s native 1280x900 resolution but it tends to struggle when the most graphically intensive games, much less VR.

    VR has to render the game twice to give you depth perception, which is a big part of the increased resource requirements.

    This isn’t trying to do that, it’s only displaying the game once. The effect of the glasses is supposed to be like having a TV a few feet in front of you.

    I say “”””yes”””” you might disagree. Here’s my findings startrek.website/comment/13646875

    The PS4 could drive VR. I suspect this would be similar. A bit fuzzy, crap framerate in places.

    You could run the simpler games like Beat Saber well enough.

  So… a Steam Link?

  • Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I think you are thinking of the steam machines.

    source
  • Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Similar form factor, but no network or remote PC required.

    source
  • JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Link only streamed.

    This is a Steam TV.
