Oh no!
Anyways

Didn’t he dress up as a “space cowboy” in one episode?
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Steam Deck/Machine/Frame? - November 2026 1 week ago:
Just finished Spider-Man 2 on my PC with my Steam Controller. That was the first time I really used that controller and damn, it’s really good! I kind of don’t want to go to the Steam Deck anymore. It’s so heavy.
On the Frame I’m playing Jedi Outcast via JKXR and having a blast. Some bugs are present but nothing I can’t work around.
- Comment on Frame deliveries part II - we're done here 2 weeks ago:
Wait, is there a third “dunno, lol” category? I thought there was only this year or next.
- Comment on Frame deliveries part II - we're done here 2 weeks ago:
Or just fewer and fewer people bother with using this site. Especially after they got their Frame and forgot that they ever reported being on the waitlist.
- Comment on Frame deliveries part II - we're done here 2 weeks ago:
There have been several reports of people in the 2027 category getting theirs now.

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 6 Download Size Revealed To Be 210 GB 2 weeks ago:
Ugh, installing World of Xeen was tough. Needed to free up a whopping 50 MB of space or so. But at least the install of Darkside of Xeen had some dancing stick figures you could look at while swapping floppies.
- Comment on Steam Frame kernel updated with external CD-ROM drive compatibility just one day after a user asked Valve for it 2 weeks ago:
My CD-ROMs.
- Comment on [Frame] Foveated streaming and rendering not working well? 2 weeks ago:
The one that pops up when you click on the clock in the dock. (what a sentence) In the power tab. Put the system profile to performance.
- Comment on [Frame] Foveated streaming and rendering not working well? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen some reports that it degrades much with power savings settings. See if you have enabled those and disable them.
- Comment on Steam Frame gets kernel-level CD-ROM support a day after a community member asked for it 2 weeks ago:
OOP wanted to watch some movies on the go which they had on disc. And install an old game.
Though another blocker was that the Frame’s USB port didn’t deliver (enough?) power for the drive. So even with the general support it doesn’t solve their specific problem.
- Comment on "System Shock and Deus Ex, they were RPGs. People called them RPGs": Gloomwood's publisher isn't too keen on using the term immersive sim despite it being one 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. Nobody felt comfortable calling them RPGs. Because apart from character stats they were far removed from other contemporary RPGs.
Saw a YouTube video the other day about what genre we’d put Doom in if we didn’t call it FPS. And they also arrived at RPG because Doom was basically a continuation of first person dungeon crawler games. They just weren’t as deluded as OOP.
We could call most story driven games nowadays RPGs And that’s simply because that’s the root of many games. A lot of nerds wanted to bring their favourite TTRPG onto the computer and so invented a myriad new ways to do so which has been iterated on ever since.
Calling every game with RPG elements an RPG is like calling every mammal fish. Technically correct but massively oversimplified.
- Comment on [Frame] Does anybody else have issues with streaming after yesterday's beta update to the Frame? 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t Beat Saber standalone? I’ve only been playing standalone games, tethered to a power outlet. A battery pack should also work.
- Comment on [Frame] Does anybody else have issues with streaming after yesterday's beta update to the Frame? 2 weeks ago:
I remember there being a setting to disable multi-link. I think then it should stay with the dongle.
Can’t test it though. My graphics card (Vega 64) seems to be too old for streaming. Gotta get around to making a bug report about that.

The vulnerabilities go back that far. You’re not safe.
- Comment on Has anyone managed to use their Steam Frame with an external monitor? 3 weeks ago:
Nearest I’ve done was to use it via Steam Link. Go to settings -> remote play on the computer where you want to see the frame and select the frame from the list of available devices. For the first time you’ll have to enter a PIN but then you can kind of use the desktop mode from the PC. You just have to position the headset so that it can see the desktop.
- Comment on [Frame] Is there a way to configure the input on desktop apps 3 weeks ago:
So far you can only change the controls of things added to Steam. You should be able to right click the .desktop file of Tux Kart and select add to Steam. Off the top of my head it should be in
/var/lib/flatpak/share/applicationsor something to that effect. - Comment on Steam Frame still missing after 2 shipments 3 weeks ago:
Average GLS experience.
Ok, maybe not that bad but I had plenty of bad experiences with them myself.

This targets the parents more. My son started out on Linux but has since moved to Windows because that makes it easier for him to play games with his friends.
- Comment on SteamOS 0.5.6 Beta for Steam Frame makes adding apk files simpler 4 weeks ago:
That’s because of me, I wrote the bug report! Woohoo!
- Comment on Frame Troubleshooting 4 weeks ago:
Yes, it works perfectly!
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
You should be able to use most of the Frame UI with it. Much to my surprise the Frame controllers themselves default to gamepad mode for the UI. You explicitly have to activate the laser mouse, which is mildly annoying.
So you should be able to control most of the stuff except for window positioning and size.
Hmm, haven’t tried if the touchpads can be used as a global mouse. Probably not at the moment.

- Comment on [Deck] 4 weeks ago:
Unless you need HDMI CEC, want the small form factor or can’t put together a Lego kit, building your own PC will probably be cheaper and/or have better performance than a Steam Machine.

Don’t you count the current solutions as workable? People have been playing Steam games on their phones since about the Steam Frame reveal.
