- Comment on DLSS Multi-Frame Generation Is Now Easier To Enable On Steam Deck, And It Makes Gameplay Worse 2 days ago:
That one is a bit different because it’s intended to fill in hitches and small dips. It’s not magic. It won’t take you from 60 to 90 fps the whole time. That won’t be a nice experience.
In fact, people usually turn off the version valve made for SteamVR when using VRChat because VRChat almost never meets frame rate in most busy worlds. And it’s better to just have a lower frame rate instead of warped and interpolated frames. It’s counter intuitive but true.

Strange. That seems like it would be a good combination. I have friends who use Linux for VR regularly, and usually the issues described are around software compatibility. Not overall basic functionality.
- Comment on DLSS Multi-Frame Generation Is Now Easier To Enable On Steam Deck, And It Makes Gameplay Worse 3 days ago:
Exactly. Frame gen is trash if you can only hit like 28 FPS before turning it on. But if you are already over 60, it can be fine.
But there is always a latency penalty, and that’s why if you can’t make frame rate without it, you are just digging a deeper hole latency wise.

Is this before you enter a game? Or only in the game you tested?
If it’s like that in the dashboard, then it might be a distro thing.
- Comment on Intel and LG Display may have beaten Apple and Qualcomm with the best laptop battery life ever 4 days ago:
People don’t understand that Apple just never chose to compete in the $500 laptop range, until, well, this year…

Actually, no, fewer people are having sex these days.

This all sounds like what I described. Yeah.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t the “Lego” part kinda just the batter casing with bumps on it, though?
Just for conversation sake. I don’t think disposable legos are cool or anything.
- Comment on Oh dear - ARC Raiders was logging your private Discord chats 3 weeks ago:
It’s easy to over-provision permissions. Just look at all the wide open S3 buckets people report on every few months.

Thank you! It’s divination in my opinion.
- Comment on Banning children from VPNs and social media will erode adults' privacy 4 weeks ago:
It’s frustrating that they act like it’s private right now. The whole situation is typical absurd human behavior.

Why can’t SKG do those things? They all seem… oh. ROSS IS AN AMERICAN. I see.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Update Indicates Positive Outlook in EU Battle Despite Roadblocks 5 weeks ago:
What political affiliations would be used against them if they were just part of SKG?
- Comment on Steam is giving some players refunds for Ashes of Creation, which had the biggest MMO Kickstarter campaign ever, after leadership resignation and mass layoffs 1 month ago:
MMO games and Kickstarters don’t seem like a good idea. They never work out.

5k and 6k is where it’s at. Get hip.

This one’s all on Logitech.

No Mans Sky will not run well on the HMD you’ll want to stream that one from your PC.
- Comment on Steam Replay is out, share your deck stats 3 months ago:
I guess so! I do use steam input. I bet it’s because I is a PS5 controller with Destiny 2. Even though it’s a Sony game, I don’t get native support.

This is in part because of electron.
Even Steam is a chromium app. 😥
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 3 months ago:
VRChat is the most popular “metaverse” and it’s still growing every year.
So it’s weird to call the metaverse dead when Horizon wasn’t even in the lead among its competitors.
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 3 months ago:
Yea, and asset ownership will make federated Social VR awkward. As in, few will put in time making spaces and games that can be instantly duplicated and rehosted.
It’s an upside that platforms have, they can do at least some moderation regarding content theft. It’s never perfect, but it’s better than a free for all.
- Comment on Steam Deck lead reveals Valve is funding ARM compatibility of Windows games “to expand PC gaming” and release “ultraportables” in the future 3 months ago:
ARM is so hot right now.
Seriously, consumer devices are all slowly moving in that direction. Valve sees where things are going.
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 3 months ago:
The Steam deck is portable first. So I assume they don’t expect you to dangle a drive off of it.
That said, I bet the Steam Machine will get them to rethink this, and hopefully the changes come to the Deck too.
- Comment on [Meta] This community has been renamed to Steam Hardware to include the newly annouced Steam Machine and Steam Frame 4 months ago:
I think a migration to a properly provisioned community is a better idea. It seems Voyager and other clients don’t display whatever you supposedly changed by default. (I know, the display name).
Changing the display name isn’t enough.

That’s a really good ratio considering the people surrounding the issues.
