Valve reveal the new Steam Frame, Steam Controller and Steam Machine with SteamOS

Regarding the virtual reality headset, I'm not a fan of this kind of technology to begin with. I'm a little worried that screens so close to my eyes might damage them over time... And since I wear glasses, I'm not sure they'd be compatible with such a headset. However, they've done a good job with its weight, it seems much lighter than the competition's. If its price is affordable, it will certainly delight fans of this type of technology.
This will have four digits(*) attached, I bet.

(*) of the US/EU kind

You can wishlist it already. Scroll down far enough on the new hardware page and they each have a star under them.
Doesn't work for me. I get a star... and then it's gone again.

Calling the PC "Steam Machine" again, is this stupidity or some severe balls?!? :grin:

Me this morning to family:

Yes, I'm going to get VR!

Then, misreading:

Oh no, it's just a streaming device!

Finally, reading further:

A pointless, amateur, project.
This almost sounds like amateur would be something bad.

This sounds like game preservation!

I found today that long posts in the activity page are shortened with a link to read more. Love it. There were games I took off my watch list due to too long news postings.

*edit* I don't mind if devs want to talk and show off. I just don't want to scroll a meter to the next game.

This game is tough to compare to other games, since it had insane levels of hype and wishlists, but I do wonder how many people gave up on it (as I did) simply due to frustrating difficulty. Are we a minority or a majority? Not sure.
Maybe it can be estimated by the percentage of achievements? Of course, some being in the game will still play on, but it might give a hint.

(I had a case with a point and click where you could choose the level to play. There was a certain amount of people who wanted to see the ending, but not play through all levels...)

Now I will download it to my NAS and own it forever! Mwuhahaha!
That's good of course, but usually you can still download the game after is has been "delisted".
