This article is about EAC, not their new app.

It has been an upsetting thread to read; in frustrated on your behalf OP. I think many commenters here have not worked in the kind of environment you’re describing, and “get another job” is deeply unhelpful advice.
- Comment on Lying/laying down mode for the Steam Frame 1 week ago:
The correct version here is “lying”
- Comment on Frame deliveries - don't hold your breath 1 week ago:
Valve kinda shit the bed with all the hardware this year. I was hyped for all three when first announced, and started a savings fund for all three.
Every new detail that came out killed that excitement a little bit and each launch I decided to pass ultimately. I know this won’t be popular, but decided to pick up a NS2 with the savings instead.
Hopefully they are still making the controllers in two years and I’ll pick up a couple on sale.
- Comment on Discord announced a revamped global age verification system 1 week ago:
It’s no more difficult than Discord, as it is pretty unashamedly a Discord clone. Its UI and UX is very similar. I find it more user friendly for a complete newbie than a Matrix community.
We use video calling 2-3 times a week for TTRPGs and sometimes other group hands. It’s gotten a lot more stable and better over the 6ish months we’ve been using it. There are still some weird tech issues on occasion, normally fixed by dropping out of the call and coming back in. I’d say this happens enough that it is noteworthy but not enough that it has made me rethink using the service. I think we had to cancel a session once, very early on, due to the service just being completely down, but not since then. Their mobile support was extremely lacking at first but past month or so they have come a long way and now mobile works great, even though it’s still in beta.

Sure, any specific questions? We use it for text chat and group video calls.

Mealie has been great for my partner and myself.
- Comment on Tasks app recommendation with notifications? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t use the notification functionality so take this recommendation worth a grain of salt, but I’ve been liking Donetick.
- Comment on Steam Frame Wait List is Moving 2 weeks ago:
I would wage there’s less demand for the Frame than the Machine.
- Comment on This may be the best way to play 2D games* 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on This may be the best way to play 2D games* 3 weeks ago:
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] 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never heard of or seen PaySafe before.
- Comment on Discord announced a revamped global age verification system 3 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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 5 weeks ago:
Before tax.
- Comment on You can now sign up for the Steam Frame lottery - 256GB model 1049€, 1TB 1279€ 5 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 5 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 1 month 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. 1 month 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" 2 months ago:
Competition is good for consumers.
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD Battery Spares Return to iFixit With Steep Price Hike 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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.
