Noisy Pixel - Gaming, Etc.Dread Meridian Review – At the Mountains of Badness

inamruzuiDoes anyone want a quest 2 headset since I don't really want it and I plan on replacing it with a valve headset when it comes out
Its cooling modded and has a damaged volume button
It also has a comfort strap
If you are in the Colorado front range area I can ride it over in the car
Will need help with shipping if outside Colorado front range area and the quest 2 is being sold instead of being given away due to eventually replacing it with a steamframe as a vulpine labs devkit

Thinking of selling the modded quest 2 in preparation for getting a steam frame
It has a 3d printed vent mod which is meant to improve airflow
The only non-working thing is the volume buttons if anyone wants it and can help with shipping let me know
Anyone in Denver/Boulder/Loveland/mountains I can also drive it over to
And feel free to boost this around

@StarkRG Granted, #Valve does address these things and also worked towards making it a better "standalone #VR system" than the #OculusQuest by packing in a lot of power and making it run #SteamOS.
- And I'm shure games like #BeatSaber will just run perfectly smooth on it!
I just hope their "investment" into #LinuxGaming will playout longterm and that the #SteamFrame will be a better alternative to the #OculusQuest and certainly be more useful.
- At least there seems to be both support for external, "belt-pack batteries" (using USB-PD) and "tethered" use for it, so folks who live in "extremely RF-noisy envoirments" or just wanting to use it as a face-mounted screen may be able to enjoy it that way...
Valve Steam Frame Engineering Deep-Dive: Water Cooling, Thermals, Power, Acoustics
@Sh4d0w_H34rt yeah, obviously #Valve will have everything up and running pre-announcement just because that's the norm.
But even if we assume #AMD gave them a good deal with some #binned-down chips (cuz the specs hint at that being the case!) I'm convinced they'll easily need more like $500 for mainboard, CPU, GPU, VRAM, case & PSU (#California made #80Plus Gold mandatory!) on top of RAM & SSD.
- So I do expect the #GabeCube / #GabenCube / #SteamMachine (2nd Gen.) to cost at least $999,-- and a full bundle with the #SteamFrame or a 4-Pack of Steam Controllers to be close to $1.499,-- which depending on how you look at #GamingConsoles and #PC hardware pricing, would still be in what they claim to be "Not a Console, Entry Level PC pricing"…
Granted I do expect production to be just ramping up cuz otherwise schematics would've potentially leaked beforehand to "certain websites" known to fill in the blanks that #Apple and others leave fir repair technicians.
- I mean, I do wish for the Steam Machine to be successful and #SteamOS too.
If Valve were to launch it with #HalfLife3 included they'd certainly steal the crowd from #GTA6...
- Either way I hope for the success of it simply because #LinuxGaming really improved and the Steam Frame may just be the better #OculusQuest!
@asie if it was like €499 like the bare #ValveIndex then I'd see it as the "death kneel" to the #OculusQuest!
@Polychrome granted, #Valve had to follow the #OculusQuest in terms of being "accessible" to #Normies…
- Even at the expense of precision, as your use-case (for better or worse) is an edgecase…
Meta & VR: Crimes Against the Face
Tobias HellgrenDamn, #Valve are releasing not only the new Steam Controller but also a new #Steam Machine (6x the power of Steam Deck) as well as a #OculusQuest competitor that is PC based. Coming early 2026!

-karlos-Nach langer Zeit nutze und lerne ich mal wieder #Java. Eigentlich mit dem Ziel, um 🗺️ OSM-3D-Renderer auf Kodlin umzustellen. Aber als erste Übung soll es eine einfaches 2D Spiel mit #Simulation von realer #Gravitation - sein (nur Newton). 🪐Umlaufbahnen darstellen und Raumschiffe arcade mäßig steuern.
Der Gag dabei ist der Predictor zum vorhersehen der Flugbahn. Und die Möglichkeit Triebwerks-Zündungen zu planen und somit auch ganze Satelliten-Missionen 🛰️. Ob ich da bis zur Möglichkeit komme, einen 🚀 #Starship Flug zu berechnen ist fraglich; da müßte ich ja die Wirkung der Atmosphäre simulieren. Ach was, ich lande auf dem Mond🌙
Die Grafik könne man auch auf verschiedene SF-Serien gestalten, wie #UFO oder #StarTrek. Oder #Raumpatrouille 🛸, statt Moonlander dann Mura-Lander :-)
#Kodlin soll ja übersetzen für alle Handies, Betriebssysteme und Browser. Auch für 3D-VR-Brillen wie #OculusQuest ? Mal sehen, wie weit ich da komme.
