I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.
Currently on Earth for 8 years ensuring steps to unite humanity and usher us into the galactic civilization just so I can see my boyfriend again.
- Comment on Nobody talked about the most useless feature of the Steam Frame 2 days ago:
The Quest has this too, but it sounds like it works a load better from your description than the Quests. There are a few times when having that pointer work well would have been super nice. Like when just watching videos in VR and you want to pause or change videos really quick without having to use the controller or enable the wonky hand camera controls.

So it’s just running native inside the headset?
That is also pretty nice. I forgot it could do that for a second lol
- Comment on This may be the best way to play 2D games* 4 days ago:
I sometimes played games like this with my Quest just so it felt like playing on a gigantic screen. The only thing that sucked was the occasional lag from streaming it.
How is the latency with the Frame? I expect it having it’s own dedicated dongle for streaming makes it super good.

Plenty of people have had them for months; just not the general public.

If you’re not side-stepping protections meant to prevent installing the software, it’s just regular loading, not sideloading.

What is the difference between cracking this security chip and all the softmods that allowed unsigned code (invluding pirated games) to be executed?
- Comment on Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it? 2 weeks ago:
Currently? VRChat. Only thing I was playing on my Quest until I sold it. Alyx was good, but it’s not really long or replayable.

I’d rather pay $1000 for the machine to play my games on than pay $1000 per game. 🤷♂️

They always make sure to give you extra semi-colons, in case you lose one.

I choose Nomad because nothing is walkable so at least I’ll have a car.

It does bum me out that the only thing from cyberpunk fiction we actually have are smartphones and the dystopia. I wanna be a fuckin’ cyborg damn it. 😬

If that’s true, their fantasies suck.
- Comment on Enjoying a Demon Souls playthrough. 4 weeks ago:
I feel like that actually would make it easier since you’d be able to enter frame perfect inputs as the frames went by 1 at a time.

You can stream PS5 games through a linux app that recently made the news. I assume they’re doing that.

I’ll just stick with my Bug Assault salt gun. Much more fun when it takes your own skill to hit the bastards.

I only ever open Edge to play the surfing themed SkiFree clone it has hidden in it.

GTAV has been only $9.99 in my region for years now and they also have given it away free at least twice.

if you can’t wait 6 hours longer for a fucking trailer, maybe you have a problem. Like jesus fucking christ, does it really matter? More than half these people would still buy the game even if Cockstar never released a single image or video of the game.

Been playing Caves of Qud recently. Hadn’t played it since I hit the current endpoint in early access (IIRC it ended after Bethesda Susa) so I am catching up to the current version. Just looking for a god damn zetachrome weapon for my golem to climb the spindle. Fucking things never drop 😩

Was gonna make a joke that they were taking a bold step by starting up production of brand new games on Genesis carts, but bringing back the Dreamcast would be way cooler.

And if it was a 360, those had an inherent overheating issue regardless of what you did, but adding another layer that insulates more than conducts heat wouldn’t help, even if the vents are free and clear.

Was the accessory for the GBA cart real and actually released? My memory around the GC is foggy af. I might have even had the thing, but I don’t remember.
- Comment on Can I Hotswap A Steam Deck SSD Into the Steam Machine? 2 months ago:
I do believe you can install one, but I don’t think you could hotswap it. Keep it unpowered while doing stuff like that. Hotswapping means replacing the part while the machine is running.

- Comment on SKG Publisher Warning — browser tool that warns you when a publisher kills games 2 months ago:
Technically, Steam could also have this happen if the rights holders demand they stop distributing their game entirely, unless they have a clause in their specific contracts to let Valve keep giving it out to people who bought it forever.
