- Comment on Steam Frame Wait List is Moving 18 hours ago:
I would wage there’s less demand for the Frame than the Machine.

There is zero application for passthrough in a VR headset.
I mean, not having to take off the headset to walk to the kitchen, get a drink, and drink it, is a pretty awesome application of passthrough on a VR headset. Plus, talking to anyone else around you, checking your surroundings, making sure your dog isn’t right under you so you don’t smack it in the face.

Satisfactory has an accessibility option for people with Arachnophobia which makes the Stingers less scary to look at. Specifically, it turns them into like jpegs of cats.
- Comment on Heads up on physical PaySafe Cards as an alternative to physical Steam Gift Cards [DE] 5 days ago:
I’ve never heard of or seen PaySafe before.
- Comment on Discord announced a revamped global age verification system 1 week ago:
My group’s been using it since March.
- Comment on [Frame] I have to purchase the accessory replacement kit before I actually need it? 1 week ago:
Most people are mad about the power supply from what I’ve seen, but I can’t get over the fact that it doesn’t ship with hand straps by default. That seems absolutely insane to me.
- Comment on Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it? 1 week ago:
Pistol Whip and Beat Saber are some of the most fun I’ve had in years. Not CA$1,700 amount of fun, though. 😭
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
Before tax.
- Comment on You can now sign up for the Steam Frame lottery - 256GB model 1049€, 1TB 1279€ 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think you’re in any position to guarantee that, and people should not spend $1,000+ on a feature that does not yet exist.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
CA$1,529 for the 256gb, without hand straps. Gonna pass.

Your lips to Gabe’s billionaire ears.

They might sell it near cost
Zero chance.
- Comment on Steam Deck / SteamOS hit over 30,000 Verified + Playable games 4 weeks ago:
Take that with a huge grain of salt. There’s some games that are Steam Deck verified that are… dubious at best.
- Comment on Enjoying a Demon Souls playthrough. 4 weeks ago:
Well, it’s not running natively on the Steam Deck. They’re either emulating the OG, or streaming from PS5.
- Comment on Epic Games Store will get a Linux version sometime "soon" 1 month ago:
Competition is good for consumers.
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD Battery Spares Return to iFixit With Steep Price Hike 1 month ago:
It’s like 50% broken. I can still activate it but only from a specific angle and it’s not as clicky.
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD Battery Spares Return to iFixit With Steep Price Hike 1 month ago:
Back when the news dropped that they were potentially dropping the replacement parts for LCD, the news was focused on the battery. However mine needs a new LB, so I had been looking at that. Those also increased in price around the same time, nearly 150%.
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD Battery Spares Return to iFixit With Steep Price Hike 1 month ago:
Small nitpick, but any company that produces a product is also going to sell that product, they just may not be selling it directly to consumers. Companies that are selling to other companies still have someone in charge of doing that. Otherwise they wouldn’t make any money on the things they produce.
- Comment on The Steam Frame Officially Has FCC Certification To Sell In The USA - Steam Deck HQ 1 month ago:
Look, I want it bad. It was actually the one I was most excited about, a little bit more than the controller.
But, yeah. Look at every tech release of the past four years. Look at SSD and RAM prices. Hell even spinning platter drives. Everything has a wait list, or gobbled up by scalpers. And if you do win the wait list lottery, it’s going to cost a goddamn arm and leg. It’s depressing man.
- Comment on Valve says iFixit will keep selling Steam Deck batteries after all. Valve won’t be sunsetting the battery yet. 2 months ago:
Makes me wonder how much of it was bad timing.
- Comment on It looks like iFixit won't be getting any more Steam Deck LCD spare parts 2 months ago:
As long as Gabe can afford a single yacht, as far as I’m concerned.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Goddamn, it’s two and a half times more expensive than the last time I looked at one. And many other parts are just full out of stock.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Article really only mentions battery. My LCD model has needed a replacement LB for a while, and I’ve been putting it off. Looks like maybe I shouldn’t do that now
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Why don’t you blame Valve particularly?
iFixit said: “To add clarity: it’s not that we’re choosing to not stock these anymore. Unfortunately, Valve is just starting to sunset these parts.”
- Comment on The Steam Machine calls itself steamdeck in my network 2 months ago:
SteamOS in seems to have references to the deck all over the place, if I recall correctly from the GN video I watched. It was one of their criticisms. Overall I’m not sure it was really fully baked before shipping.
- Comment on Is Denuvo's Dominance Finally Beginning to Crack? A New Linux-Based Breakthrough Suggests It Might Be 2 months ago:
Could, but that might be a hard sell to publishers with the popularity of deck, machine, steam OS, and just Linux rising popularity lately in general. Still a minority of the gaming market for sure but growing.

- Comment on Valve Steam Machine Review - Gamers Nexus 3 months ago:
This review made me not even really want one anymore.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 months ago:
They have absolutely had sales on their hardware. I am pretty sure they’ve put deck on sale every year since it came out.
As for building my own, yeah I know, and I’ve considered it many times. But I absolutely dread working in small form factor, and this thing’s size was one of the main appeals for me.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 months ago:
I really wanted one, but now it’s an easy wait for at least some kind of sale.
