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.

  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.

  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?

  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.

  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.

  So… a Steam Link?

  source

  • Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I think you are thinking of the steam machines.

    source
  • JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Link only streamed.

    This is a Steam TV.

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