Good to know. Thanks!
I’m a waitlister so it’ll be a while for me. I hope you enjoy it!

Have you tried streaming over WiFi without the dongle?

I’m also on the waitlist :(
- Comment on You can now sign up for the Steam Frame lottery - 256GB model 1049€, 1TB 1279€ 2 weeks ago:
On the Frame itself, yes. On the PC side it’s encoding and sending an audio/video stream and receiving inputs from the VR device over a network. They have implementations for other devices, so it stands to reason that they’d have an implementation for their own device. Maybe there are some kinks to work out (nvidia hardware, Wayland implementation, etc. ), but I’m sceptical that it “doesn’t work”. Especially since game journalism is full of hyperbole.
Then again, maybe I’ll have an expensive paper weight on my desk for a while, but hopefully not! 😆

I find that hard to believe. I’ve been able to stream just fine from Steam to a Quest 2 for months. It’s worked for years if you include using ALVR.

I’m debating. This is one thing I’ve been really excited about for a while but I’m not sure the 1TB is worth the extra $300. But I waaaaant it!!!
Its so sad that AI is taking all of the fabrication time.

- Comment on Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC 2 months ago:
Another example that Valve is in a dominant position not through exploitation but the fact that they run a business people actually want to interact with, and the competition keep shooting their own legs off.

Sloppy Taxi
- Comment on Valve continue working towards the Steam Frame with a new SteamVR Beta 3 months ago:
At this point an arm and a leg is the discounted price. The slop machines have to eat!

So far my Steam Machine is giving me 0 fps.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant is coming to current-gen Xbox consoles this year 6 months ago:
I can’t wait to hear all the screaming about how this ran a perma-death character off a cliff.
- Comment on [TheGamer] Scott Pilgrim EX Update Fixes Progression, Trophies, And Softlocks 6 months ago:
I played the demo and really liked it, but I’ve held off on buying it because of the bugs. Hopefully this fixes the major bugs!
- Comment on Valve detail Steam Frame and Steam Machine Verified requirements at GDC 2026 6 months ago:
I like that they call out not saving graphics settings in the cloud. I ran into a couple games where I had to change options any time I switched from my PC to deck.
- Comment on Unity CEO says an upcoming Beta will allow people to "prompt full casual games into existence" 7 months ago:
Can’t wait to hear all the AI crybabies.
Why is nobody buying my game? I spent a whole hour engineering my prompt! 😭😭😭
- Comment on GOG did an AMA and here's some highlights - like how they'll continue using generative AI 7 months ago:
I used to like GOG but it looks like I won’t be supporting them anymore
- Comment on Arch-based distro EndeavourOS gets a new Ganymede release 9 months ago:
EndeavourOS is great! It’s pure Arch with a few of their utilities included (which are easy to remove). I like that it provides a good set of defaults for a fully configured desktop system, so there’s no fiddling with installing every thing else you need after the initial OS installation.
- Comment on Epic CEO wants Valve and Steam to stop requiring devs to disclose generative AI usage 9 months ago:
That’s why I used the word “decent” instead of something like “good”.
Valve (along with Itch.io) also removed several LGBTQ2S+ games recently due to some complaints from payment processors, and I think that’s terrible. (your first link is not working at the moment, so maybe that was mentioned there?) GoG, on the other hand, released some of those removed games for free.
Valve is absolutely not perfect and they have done other bad things before, but when you’re competing with Epic, or EA Origin, or whatever Ubisoft calls their shit, it’s easy to see why they dominate the market. GoG is probably the only other company that also behaves “decently”, has a good product, and is in a similar space with Steam.
- Comment on Epic CEO wants Valve and Steam to stop requiring devs to disclose generative AI usage 9 months ago:
Another example that Steam doesn’t maintain dominance via market abuse, but rather by being decent in a market where the competition is downright awful.
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st! 10 months ago:
Hence me saying games run fine off an SD card after a reference to a quote falsely attributed to Bill Gates 😁
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st! 10 months ago:
256GB ought to be enough for anyone!
I run most of my games off an SD card and it’s been fine.
- Comment on Steam Controller 10 months ago:
Touchpads on the Deck are really great for on screen menus for things like ability bars and whatnot.

It’s not lip service. The large platforms are now the official propaganda arm of fascism.
- Comment on 'Godfather of AI' says the technology will create massive unemployment and send profits soaring — 'that is the capitalist system' 1 year ago:
Tedious tasks are also great for assigning to juniors to help them learn.
I’ll often use tedious tasks as a testing ground for new technologies as well. Tedium leads to innovation.
- Comment on Leaks again hint at Valve doing a proper Steam Machine Console 1 year ago:
For a lot of people, building a PC is magic. It’s just not something they’re familiar with, even if we consider it easy. I have smart friends who buy the worst off the shelf laptops, but it does what they need and they choose to spend their time on other things. Meanwhile, I check my local PC part shop for sales almost daily. 😄
If this provides a good out of box experience, I can see the appeal.
Also, it’s nice that you could buy a pre-built one or build your own if you want.

I want less notifications.

- Comment on Tribes 3: Rivals already in trouble as developers shift focus elsewhere 2 years ago:
Early access wasn’t successful enough? WTF did they expect?
Another example of why buying early access isn’t great.
I was looking forward to this game too.
