@demodisc.zone I know you were looking for things to do with the AYN Thor at one point. This worked pretty good on a couple Galaxy phones, maybe worth trying? droiddeck.app

To be fair here, assuming this was in the original release, that would mean it’s a 2015-ass book found in a 2015 game lol

Unironically the AYN devices can run SteamOS now like a Deck. It can’t be too long before an ARM Mini PC can.

It definitely sometimes feels like everything after about 2015 has had increasingly been able to be ignored by any one given person such that any conversation about a new thing has to start with an explanation about what the thing even is, often with “oh it’s like OLD_THING but new!” somewhere

Just make a Steam Frame graphics setting that replaces all the sosigs with retro pixel art 2D jpegs like a Doom mod /j

I feel like I’m preaching to the choir on this but it isn’t just YouTubers that people get parasocially bent out of shape over - there’s people mad LINKIN PARK has moved on after a singer died… when the rest of the band is the one that made the decision to move on and they even waited >7 years to.

Took me way longer than it should to get it to work but it works now. Oasis Driver has a Linux version now and, at least for this guy doing the basics of controller tracking and display, it works

Got sent to the bottom of the waitlist for Steam Frame so I spent $60 and got some Lore instead
Acre Mixed Reality headset. It’s labeled “Lore” in sharpie. Unpictured, the headset itself has Lore labeled on the head strap with a label maker

SteveHeist @steveheist2.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
It honestly probably looks like the Steam Frame but instead of a headset it just has an HDMI port

No… the yes’s would be gray and the cancels would be bright blue from experience. Other than that yeah this looks like what leaving Edge feels like.

Turns out it came back by installing an updated version of @postmarketos.org on the device... downside is holy crap is the Allwinner A64 trying it's hardest and not meeting the mark lol

On that same note, my iPod Touch 5th / 6th gens booted right up when I charged them and still retain a charge so IDK.

SteveHeist @steveheist2.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
higher-output charger from my Steam Deck rather than the 5V 2A charger it was on... although I don't have much hope for that because trying to measure the pos / neg leads with a multimeter got dead 0. Guess that's what happens when you leave a doohickey in a drawer for half a decade.

I pulled out my old Pinephone Community Edition, and the battery is flat. OK, that's fine, installed JumpDrive to an SD card and left it plugged in overnight. That changed nothing. Battery is still flat and the device shuts off if mains power is removed... so I've got it hooked up to the

Still too gunshy to get into the controllers though lol

Frame is nice because it is inside-out tracking - instead of all the lighthouses, there’s IR cameras on the front of the headset itself that track the controllers.

The open sourcing of all the upstream doodads to get their stuff working (already this is noted as being a part of Steam Remote Play but also this is definitely either already a thing or soon to be with the Frame) is cool.

I haven’t fiddled much with Gamescope on not-SteamOS so I wouldn’t know… but doesn’t the ”gamemode” flag do something similar to Gamescope? IDK I’m a horrible person who just hits play and sends it lol

I think the “build software against Steam Deck because Steam Deck is what people have” is actively self-reinforcing, so breaking the cookie jar comes with its own hassles. Should people work on more than just SteamOS? Sure, choice is good… but if it works on SteamOS you’re…

read this, had a gander at the Steam Hardware Survey, and I think the answer sits in latent demand as a result. ~20% show SteamOS Holo. ~10% self report as the Steam Deck GPU. ~25% report as having 1GB VRAM - likely a symptom of an SoC situation rather than a bunch of people with antiques

If you’re staying on UTC-7 (ie, Pacific Daylight Time ie not changing the clock back in November, which it sounds like is the plan, you’ll be an hour later than those places (your noon is their 11am). Upside is, if I’m right, you’ll have the same time as Arizona all the time :D

I haven’t played it myself so salt liberally but the gameplay I have seen seems to aim for 3rd place on Yahtzee’s bland list. Just a safe 3rd person action game, which is fine but not anything worth… caring as much as the GamersTM seem to xD

…so much as to render those warts nonexistent in 2 weeks or whatever the pre-launch review prep time is. That being said, I think if marked improvement is seen a 1-year-later type “rereview” to highlight the improvements and wartsanding is also nice when I find them.

SteveHeist @steveheist2.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
There was a review I watched from someone in the 3d printing space and he said “I review products, not promises”. I feel like that’s a good philosophy - explain the warts of your pre-launch experience in your launch review because while things will probably improve they probably won’t change…
