- Comment on Steam Families has officially launched with a big Steam Client Update 3 months ago:
Worse than that, the slot they left is also locked out for a year. Although you can return to your previous spot freely, so break up and make up is fine.
I get why, if it were too flexible publishers would fear sales loss and opt out en masse but still feels rather long.
- Comment on LawBreakers Is Making An Unofficial Comeback Thanks To Fans 8 months ago:
FYI this is the kind of awesome thing big studios like Ubisoft would like to ensure is never possible again.
- Comment on Tecno Pocket Go is like a Steamdeck that replaces a screen with a wearable display 9 months ago:
As someone with video glasses like those included here, it might be a step forward but it has a lot of room for improvement before it will survive mass market.
For starters, unlike a screen, these glasses must be tailored to your eyesight. If you wear prescription, you will need to fit double glasses or have some ability for the video ones to be prescription. And a huge problem in the market right now is pupil distance, or eye spacing/head size. Mass market wants one-size-fits all, but that means those outside the designed size will have difficulty using them if they can at all.
These are problems currently experienced with the current market like Rokid, XReal, and Viture.
And then of course there’s power, if we keep to 1080p we’ll need more computing power and battery than a Steam Deck screen, which some handhelds might be able to accommodate, maybe more so depending on the weight and shape trades of the new style. But so far it might be disappointing, especially if it has the appearance of a huge screen and still needs to low-res upscale/FSR to meet performance.
Just my thoughts. Still cool, but no confidence in it as a winner yet.
