• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OOTL I just found out about the valve Index. Whats the difference between valve Index and steam Frame?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Index is very old at this point and starting to show its age. It’s still functional, but there’s much better headsets out these days. The one good thing about it that a lot of modern headsets don’t do is lighthouse tracking. Essentially, little IR tracking cameras you place around your play space mounted to walls/tripods that super accurately track you in 3D space. Very precise and tracks from all angles.

  The Frame is a their more modern headset. Still not bleeding edge specs, but still lighter, smaller, and better functionally in a lot of ways. But it’s inside out tracking, meaning the cameras are on the headset itself. Good for tracking your hands/controllers right in front of you, but middling at tracking at waist level, and unable to track behind your head. This is the standard a lot of the industry is moving towards. Functional for 90% of games and all-in-one so no mounting, but definitely a less accurate technology.

  If you’re trying to decide between the 2, get the Frame. It’s more likely to be supported for much longer since it’s new and the Index seems to be getting phased out now.

  I know! We should build more AI and ask it what we should do to fix this problem!

  I just assumed the Half Life 3 bit was just the usual shitpost joke that plenty of people have done before. I at least didn’t put any amount of credence to it at all as being a “leak” or “official announcement”

  No mirror, but I watched it when it was still up. The entire video was narrated by “Dave Johnson” in a halfway decent Cave Johnson impression talking about their company being bought out by investors, showing a scene of these new owners (robots apparently, just people wearing those cheap generic sci-fi helmets you see advertised on social media and a black morph suit) using portals and portal guns at one point.

  The most blatant though was that it even featured extended scenes with pretty bang on animated models of GLaDoS, the turrets, and Atlas, including the GLaDoS model speaking in a vaguely GLaDoS-esque modulated voice that clearly wasn’t Ellen. It was legit well done enough that when the voices didn’t match I started questioning mid watching “Wait this seems unofficial. Are they…allowed to do this?”

  They were, in fact, not allowed to do this.

  Yeah but it’s also not your product and your IP to monitor. That’s quite literally someone’s job there

  I mean how could they not be? It was being shared literally everywhere previously as soon as it was announced. Someone from Valve had to have seen it, especially when they found it immediately upon launch and shut it down almost instantly. It was obviously on their radar

  The weirdest part to me is that this wasn’t a surprise. As soon as valve announced the steam machine it seemed the same day this was announced along with it. They knew it was coming. Why not say something then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Machine is still "on track" for its original release window, according to Valve’s chosen chipmakers⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Valve time planned on releasing in another 2 years regardless, so yes, right on time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CD Projekt plan to release The Witcher 4, 5, & 6 within six years of one another, and oh, are those pigs flying?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Released within 6, fixed of game breaking bugs by 10

  Didn’t become the richest in the world by sitting on their laurels and letting other people make money instead of them. That would be outrageous
