#Steam #Valve I don't think most people that already bought the controller went back the store page. For archival purposes, here is what the Steam Controller reservation button looks like when you already ordered one at launch. Learn more just sends you here store.steampowered.com/news/group/4...

Harmless prank idea Turn someone's whole ass computer light mode!

Once people get that steam controller, I want to see people set up the grip sensors to be able to flip their hands up to move pinball flippers. The idea of moving your hands to control a similar motion in game is really interesting to me, and I hope people get really creative with it.

DS games, Pens, and other small shit that drops really just fall into the backrooms, don't they?

Some people's brains make up noises on the edge of being awake and asleep. For years, I've had the ability to manifest realistic sounds while I'm in that state. It's kinda cool.

This perspective of "you own nothing" seems more pessimistic than it needs to be. It's fair to say that there is less opportunity for ownership, but there are totally alternatives when you back away from subscriptions. GOG is DRM free, you can digitize your old media, etc. Just look and act on it.

People talk about The Year Of #Linux Desktop, but no one has set a threshold of what that means. Every year has such steady growth that I feel that we'll only know the year by reflection unless a threshold is set. Is the threshold what kicked off the growth, reaching a milestone, or does it matter?

YEARS, and only now am I realizing that I need to enjoy Sonic games by slowing down... FUCK

Also, LUNARK is human-made, frame by frame. No AI involved, just pure dedication and love for the craft. 🥰

www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi... I just found this performance today from this really fucking interesting wacko band. It's just two people rocking out with a looper and microtonal shit. Whatever this sound is really scratches my itch. It really rustles my jimmies. It really washes my cloth.

Weird thought... So the Steam Frame is going to have USB-C on the back for charging AND data. With it being basically a PC, I'm wondering how easy it could be to plug that into a dock with HDMI and make it a low powered PC outside of VR as well. I'm so curious about the use cases from this thing.

I feel like new AI-isms that will be spoted in games will be a reflection on what has been done over and over, because AI averages out to the nearest trope. This will most likely encourage devs to make even more unique projects out of spite. Indies & real art will always shine through. Fuck gen AI.

MAAAAAAN, I had a dream where I was using the Steam Frame. It was in my grasp, on my head, then I woke up. I didn't realize how much I wanted this thing. I generally abstain from feeling I need products, but like I've been saving for years for the potential that a new Valve headset would be a thing

YouTube Shorts are my doom scroll poison. I HAVE FOUND THE HACK TO DEFEAT IT!! I know it's convenient to have YouTube history on, but I really don't miss it when the exchange of having it off is far greater. You can adapt to saving videos in playlists if you really need to remember something.

@sodaraptor.bsky.social Hay, have you considered putting your games on GOG? With Steam's DRM, people (including me) have been getting more games on GOG and Itchio. GOG games have been more convenient to play compared to itch on Linux/SteamOS by using GOG through Heroic Launcher.

#Valve #SteamOS #SteamMachine #Linux For anyone worried that Mods will be difficult to get running on the Steam Machine with it being Linux, just know that R2modman has a Linux appimage and it works great. Nexus mods is also trying to get their platform fully working on Linux this year apparently.

#Linux #LinuxGaming The Linux community growing is great, but I'm confused when people talk about 'The Year of Linux Desktop'. People speculate that it will happen every year, but no one defines what the threshold is. What all do you think needs to happen for that "Year of Linux" threshold to pass?

#gamedev #accessibility Games on Linux using proton ATM can't reach out to screen readers. I tested the program NVDA, nothing. I just want to recommend devs normalize having a screen reader built in the game or lines prerecorded from a screen reader or a person, because in game should work on Linux.

Grant Kirkhope is making music for a Glitch show?! Every time I hear that Grant is doing the music for something I like, it's similar to getting excited spotting a voice actor in an animation like Rob Paulsen or Jim Cummings like "OH SHIT, IT'S THE LEGEND"! Kick ass, Grant!

I just realized that if the first announcement of Beyond Good & Evil 2 was a person, it could vote. Still ain't out. WOOF

Jungle beats will never die .....

Dude, almost everything I'd want in the Steam Machine I can do with a docked Steam Deck. The one thing I'd want it for is as an extension of the Steam Frame VR headset. Other than that, this is my first time using the Deck docked on a big screen, and it's rad as hell.

Dude, this game called Marble's Marbles made by @destined.com looks amazing. I'ma have to snag this beauty. store.steampowered.com/app/4137920/...

EVERY SONG IS A TWERKING SONG! Twerk to a sad song, twerk to a happy song, twerk to intense metal music. If it's possible, it's a twerking song.

#valve #steammachine Ay, can we not spread misinfo about the Steam Machine. The "leak" came from a site that used a placeholder price, and prices up refurbished goods. Valve sells their physical items on Steam itself. I'ma wait for Valve's words on the price rather than going "$1000?! Valve bad"

It's such a beautiful game. Being a stopmotion nut, I had to visit a world like this in VR. It was worth it! Even my friends watching my gameplay outside of VR were in awe. Stunning and recommended!

I hope everyone has a tolerant year. We will survive the pain out of spite.

SurvivorVR! I'm surprised this episode is over 30 minutes. I'm gonna keep my eye on episode 2. This was surprisingly cool to watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1Ld...

This world is from @sodaraptor.bsky.social and I'm posting this to remember it for later. I love this person's games, and had no clue there was a VRChat world. This is rad as fuck! vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat_world紹介 #VRChat

A dream I had may be a really funny moment in a Harley Quinn thing. Outside there's many people dressed as Joker. Harley is offing anyone that looks like Joker in a rage. Then a clown goes WOOP WOOP. She pauses then skips him. She says "woop woop mother fuckers" as she walks off to whack more Jokers

People shouldn't worry about the AAA gaming scene stagnating and in some areas financially flopping. Just because the bigger companies fail, doesn't mean gaming is dying. Indies and actually good AA studios are thriving and they don't need the success of big companies to justify their existence.

I don't get the perspective that you should get the newest PC hardware or you should upgrade every couple years. If I said how old my computer is, there will be people that say "WHAT? How are you able to use that old shit?" when what I have does everything I need it to do. Older hardware rocks!

I mean, outages happen. It's usually quick to be fixed, cuz they don't want it to happen either. I'm often someone who says "big company bad" but I don't see this as a reason. I'd rather shit on cloudflare if they're manipulative or being shitty to employees. I'm not bothered to wait for outages.

Steam Frame TLDR *More compute power vs Quest 3 *ARM Linux *Desktop Mode *Standalone *Open ecosystem *Micro SD card slot *Android APK support *Eye tracking *Play flatscreen games too *Easier connection to Linux PCs *No hand tracking or color passthrough, but users may add features w/ expansion port

Weird thought. If spinal fluid goes up to clean the brain as you sleep, is that like the human version of refreshing ram on a computer?

Why do people say that someone's mask is off when they get mad? Do people want to dehumanize so bad online that people insinuate that every other emotion expressed was disingenuous? All of the emotions together make someone deeply human, why diminish that?

So if the Steam Frame can be used like a PC, I am very curious if people will challange themselves to use it as their main PC for a week. I'm up to try. It would be rad to test discord, browsing, 3D modeling, photo editing, coding, audio editing, documents, and whatever use cases I can think to try

"all video games should have ___?" ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS!!! Damn dude, more games should have blind accessibility as well. Even as a sighted person, I want to advocate for this as much as I can.

As someone that loves tech news and videos, I'm eating like a fucking royal after the Valve hardware news!

youtu.be/OmKrKTwtukE I am.... in love

Dislike AI? You can add this block list to Ublock Origin that gets rid of a good lot of ai sites from google search, bing, and duckduckgo. It's not everything, but it helps. I wish everyone the best with avoiding AI! github.com/laylavish/uB...
