Yeah, I’ve got a few games on my laptop that I’m going to try streaming tonight but that will be on my travel router and hotel WiFi so I don’t have high expectations.
Satisfactory runs…satisfactorily on the headset, but it’s not the best experience, and the headset is really chugging.
Alyx locally, on the other hand, was an almost otherworldly experience for me in terms of smoothness and immersion, but again I’m new to VR.

Honestly haven’t had the chance to try it yet. It arrived hours before I was leaving on a trip so all of my impressions have been on the road so far

I’m hyper aware that I’m just a few days into it and totally new to VR, so I’m actually interested as well in how long I feel this way.
I’ll provide updates.

Oh that’s cool. I’m not arachnophobic, I think they are just really well designed.
But I’m a cat dad and I’m not sure I could shoot at pictures of cats - even in VR where my cats can’t see. They’ll know.

The back/underside paddle buttons on the Steam Controller are way better than they are on the Steam Deck in ways that are tough to describe, so I’ve found myself using them a lot. Being able to essentially squeeze to activate my jetpack or reload my gun, depending on which hand, really made it easier for me to get around and engage in combat in Satisfactory.
I think it’s because the “handles” on the controller are quite a bit meatier than the side handles of the Deck. My second and ring finger seem to slot perfectly onto them.

I may have been one of the earlier lottery windows but I got mine Friday after getting a shipping notice on Thursday.

I beg your pardon

I honestly don’t know if I could handle a jumping 5x stinger in VR. Those things are scary as fuck on a TV screen 10 feet in front of me.

It’s the only way I’ve ever played it for 200+ hours

That’s definitely my plan for flat games when I get home from the trip I’m on.

I know right? I could barely make out the letters on the paperback I was trying to read while traveling in game.
I’m considering asking for a refund.

- Comment on Somewhat useless infos about the Steam Frame that I didn't see anyone cover 5 days ago:
I just got mine yesterday, right before going on a trip, so I’m trying to get some time in at the hotel, but I can’t wait to really sit down and get into it.
I can already tell this could be my favorite way to play/stream 2D games, just from a comfort perspective.
I’m happy to answer questions or test things out on people’s behalf though so let me know. Be aware that this is my first VR system overall, so I’m not sure how much to be impressed by the frame itself.

Just completed my purchase! Now to wait some more.

This has been my exact Sunday.
- Comment on [Frame] Landed on the waitlist, two friends as well (Europe) 1 week ago:
That reminded me to check my email and I’m in queue for the 1Tb. I think this might rate my first woot in over a decade.
Woot!

Knew it was Chicago. I really hate these things but I enjoy faking them out when I pass them. It’s the little things.
- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 7 months ago:
I would really have to sit and have a long hard think about what my price ceiling is for any of the new Steam lineup. I know I have a maximum price I’m willing to pay but I only have a hazy idea of what that might be.

At the moment that statement applies to all 3 products.
- Comment on [Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame? 10 months ago:
I’d suggest a separate community for each hardware variant and a Steam OS community acting as a broader hardware indifferent Steam gaming community (which I believe exists already)
this is just a forwardlooking estimation that it will be easier for moderation.

They don’t even acknowledge that it is a problem.

I can finally have that bone surgery I’ve been putting off because my surgeon is an idiot.
