It is a shame 3D Vision was phased away by Nvidia. I feel like it would have a better chance of success now that many people have VR headsets and no-glasses 3D monitors are starting to appear.

Making something like 3dsen is a much more difficult task than being able to display a game that is using a 3d engine and so would generally be fundamentally capable of providing a stereoscopic view. That said, most of them currently don’t offer it anyway and it’s still not quite zero effort to add such a capability.
It does seem like Valve are saying they want to let you view a game in a stereoscopic 3D if the game has support for it built-in already so it would be 3d support for flat games (meaning games primarily made to be run on a screen) but only if the game has support for it. That’s good but does mean there’s still a need for either developers or 3rd parties to make the changes needed for it to function.

FWIW, I didn’t get it at first but found it funny after reading the comment where you explained it.
- Comment on Valve looking into 3D support for flat games on Steam Frame 2 weeks ago:
This would be a dream feature for me as even many flat games become so much more visually impressive and immersive experiences when you are able to look at them in real 3D. Currently you can get a decent number of games displayed this way if you have a stereoscopy-capable device but it’s just a royal PITA that involves lots of fiddling with config so having that be easy on very comfortable hardware like the Frame would be game-changing as far as I am concerned.

The Firaxis Xcom reboot. Been doing retro a lot, a somewhat modern game is fun for a change and as a fan of the original this has been quite enjoyable.

Why surprisingly?

Been playing a bit of Close Combat 3: The Russian Front. Picked it up from the summer sale and I’ve been wanting to try this series for as long as I’ve known about it (I think I read about CC2 in a gaming mag when it was new). Fun game but not the easiest to get running and nobody seems to be playing the games in this series with Deck of even a controller so I didn’t really find any controller mapping for it. WNot a huge issue since the game is fairly easy to control even with just a mouse.
I tend to play lots of strategy games and such that usually rely on the mouse quite a bit, the deck is such a great device for this use case.
