Quoting: RoosterMac gamers are mysterious people to me.

Lol. Nice they made a Mac build though. The more support the better for all.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo, rich morons?

I was thinking media. Like critics or a cooperate account for reviews.

I think that make sense for the number of games and hours played, especially if the account is used by multiple people.

Quoting: denyasisIt's always a little dad to see projects fail, but, perhaps it's me, but I did not, and still don't, understand the appeal of playing a pC game on a mobile device. It's mostly a screen size thing for me. Too small to really enjoy.

For me, it is more about the MASSIVE library of games that I have in Steam. Or emulation, etc. Being able to play those on the go is an appealing idea. But so was the idea of the Switch, but mine mostly just sits on its dock because I don't actually go anywhere...

I get that and also have a switch. But the games made for the switch, I would assume, target the switch and it's tiny screen. I feel like the PC, without the advantage of the monitor, can't compete using a switch-like against something purpose built with games targeting that form factor. I'm trying to imagine playing a hardcore PC game, like Dominions 5, or KSP, or Rimworld and I think it would be difficult to enjoy.

You make a really good point about the emulsion though. I hadn't thought of that.

Quoting: HoriSo... the battery's not upgradable? Unfortunately, for me, a long-lasting battery is the whole point of a laptop.

I see it's replaceable, so hopefully that might mean a juicier battery is in the future, as soon as the cram in more battery cells.

I'm both intrigued and disappointed the "upgrade modules" are just USB adapters. Although the intagrated slot part is nice, fewer dongles hanging off.

Edit: I configured a modest setup, 16GB ram, 500gb SSD. $935 USD. I think that seems fairly reasonable, right? Might have to save up for one

Quoting: JuliusBut yes, right now the SteamVR headsets require Steam to run even for software launched outside of Steam itself

Quoting: EhvisNon-steam games work though. A native non-steam build of a Unity VR app will pick up SteamVR just fine.

Thanks for the info. I was curious and, honestly, a little worried some of the hardware devs would try to tie the hardware to thier "platform". I'm glad that's not the case. Hopefully it won't ever be.

Yeah, I think having a checkpoint or save setting might be nice. Especially for a game this epic, although I understand the idea that one shouldn't experience everything in one play through.

I like this game, it reminds me of one of my favorite games, Morrowind, in terms of lore and scope. If only I weren't so bad at it, lol.

Thanks for the article. I'm glad you like it so much!

Might sound dumb, but since this is hardware, does it "just work" in Linux for any VR game, or is it Steam exclusive? (Ie, will work on non steam games or with out steam at all)?

XCOM: Enemy Within. I remember when the original came out and thought it looked corny and dumb when I looked at the box in Babbage's.

I am very wrong. The remake is a lot of fun. For no smart reason I'm only playing ironman so, I'm on my third game. Hopefully all my dudes won't die... Again.

No Man's Sky. I finished the main quest and uninstalled. It was a good game, but the survival-craft thing doesn't seem to be a genre I enjoy. I think I still find games that rely on random generation exclusively rather unfulfilling.
