- Comment on [Frame] Does anybody else have issues with streaming after yesterday's beta update to the Frame? 5 days ago:
It’s not, but I wanted to point out my issue wasn’t due one of them being a slower port (e.g. 2.0).

I’m running:
- Fedora 44 on AMD CPU/GPU
- Dedicated Wifi 6 travel router with only the Frame connected wirelessly
- WAN port to home network
- PC - > USB ethernet adapter - > ethernet cable -> said travel router
- Steam Link dongle
The weird thing the dongle is really picky about what USB port it’s plugged into. And before anyone says anything: they’re identical USB 3.2 ports on the same controller

Play with adjusting the height (up/down) of where the frame sits on your face – I noticed mine has a tendency to sit too low. I strongly recommend DIY or 3d printing parts for a top strap if you don’t have the ergo kit.
You might also want to play with the angle (up/down) it sits on your face. People have wildly different face shapes and it might be tilted.
Oh, and clean your lenses.

Got mine.
… currently reinstalling linux on my gaming rig because it won’t stream to the frame. Looking forwards to getting my graphics drivers working again and screwing around with sketchy scripts to get the wireless adapter working.

… I exclusively run PCVR on linux. Most of my games surprisingly run better under Linux.
- Comment on Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it? 1 month ago:
To add to what IamSparticles said: a lot of the good VR games are either limited in scope mechanics based games or tell a linear story – Half Life: Alyx for example. I.e. limited replayability.
Multiplayer games, simulators, and open world games are the ones that are ones that get hundred of hour. It’s a smaller pool, but they’re out there.

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Into the Radius 1 & 2.

Musk naming SpaceX ships after ships from Iain M. Banks Culture series was a hilarious lack of self awareness. He either didn’t actually read the books or has his head so far up his ass he didn’t see how he’d fit in that universe.
Elon Musk, if you’re reading this: you more resemble the kind of men in Bank’s books that frequently unpleasant ends via The Culture’s “Special Circumstances” group as The Culture tried to drag a society towards utopia. The blindingly intelligent, utilitarianist “Minds” you named those drone ships after would not be your friends. They would not like you.

I’m a huge VR fan, but gave a way my quest 3 and haven’t used VR since.
Fuck corporate surveillance, fuck Zuckerberg, and fuck walled gardens. I will gladly pay 3x the cost for a similar device that isn’t a locked down, walled garden, surveillance nightmare made by a company owned by an unrepentant fascist.

If there’s water available you don’t have to carry it in. Treatment tablets and filters are lighter than water, and let you make potable water as you need it.
