Quoting: MangojuicedrinkerIMO VR for only gaming purpose is degeneracy.Let me just say that VR seems to be pushing buttons on some people.

AMD AMD Custom GPU 0405 0.18% -0.09%
It's not like the Chinese would install Windows 10 on their masses of new Steam Decks...

File transfer ist okish for me at the moment - device discovery is not even that. More like hit and miss. And it's still a favourite of mine. Looking forward for the improvements!

Quoting: rea987As it seems there isn't a .dll or .exe within the script. Can anyone try it with the native version? I really want to play this one without VR nonsense natively. :whistle:I understand "I can't afford it", "I get nausea" and even, to a lesser degree, "I don't want it". But "VR nonsense" is, well... nonsense. I don't own a VR device, but having tried it, it feels like climbing into the monitor and being inside the action after decades of just sitting on front of it and watching it. It's not suitable for everything, but where it is, it's a new level of gaming, comparable maybe to the change from pure text to images and from those to moving graphics. But I guess there's been people complaining about these "moving graphics nonsense" as well...

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo, given the potential problems involved with running Windows 11, let's assume that Valve, or even somebody else, get Steam OS running for this thing. Turning around the question that got asked so much before the release of the Steam Deck but then disappeared without a trace after a while, how many people will rip out Windows on this thing and put in SteamOS (or maybe ChimeraOS)?As long as the experience is fine, not many people will do either I guess (which is supported by the hardware survey for Steam Deck). "IJW" - it just works, and that's fine and that's it.

Quoting: hardpenguinAs a ROG product with these specs there is no way this will have a price point anywhere close to Steam Deck. I don't see it as competition at all. It will simply be its own thing, an expensive product with a niche.I remember Valve saying they'd be happy if other products help establishing a new device category, the handheld gaming PC.

Quoting: KlaasSome people waste years polishing their work so they never finish it. You have to know when you've done enough.You will, no matter how long you polish. I recommend to not ever look into it again. :)
On the other hand it's very annoying if you find a typo in the last paragraph just after printing and binding.
