It’s a bit more complex than that. But for streaming at 120hz from a PC to the Frame it’s barely over an hour in “quality mode”. They do have a “playtime mode”, but it’s like 72hz with worse visuals, so not really worth using.

But that’s one more cable you have to route through your shirt (which annoys me sensation wise). They always skimp out on batteries.
Nah, I’ve never had a VR headset at home, so when it comes to actually playing games I’m a newbie. Though I heard the only really ‘good’ VR game is Half Life Alyx. Plenty of warnings that if you play that one first, all the other games will feel like crap :-/
Also curious about Blade and Sorcery.
I actually have a horror game on Steam developed for the Valve Index (we had several 10 years ago in university). Never was impressed enough back then to actually purchase one for myself (so I also didn’t have much playtime). Bad display quality, especially for texts, uncomfortable, stumbling over the cable, …
That’s why I was really looking forward to the Steam Frame for a year now. Barely over an hour of battery life dampened my enthusiasm already :-/
I did get a notification for Steam… that I’m on the waiting list, yay :(
Overall it’s a tiny bit underwhelming (not even talking about the price) when you look at all the mixed reviews of the most popular VR titles. I still want to mess around with it, but I guess now I just wait.

Android@lemmy.world•Elevating app quality: Reducing memory usage and improving device migrationEnglish
2·2 months agoI just got this as notification in the Google Play Console. After checking the details (trying to see if I had to change anything for my game): The memory limits are so generous, I don’t think most app developers have to do anything?
Like even on a 4 GB phone you’re allowed to gobble up 2 GB RAM in the foreground and 1 GB in the background, which should be plenty.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft's Windows 11 push backfired, so it's quietly keeping Windows 10 alive for another yearEnglish
1·3 months agoOh, I already did that in the past. But with dual booting you first start to set everything up twice (I want to check my email at any time for example).
Then you have a game or two that only work in Windows (Apex Legends). And over time you start to mainly boot into Windows just on the off-chance you want to play a quick round.
I still use Linux on my server of course. Recently I also got a MacBook Air for portability. But Windows really is just my “everything works” box.
Hell, even Nvidia GPU features I use on the daily (Like Broadcast) have no Linux support. So the switch isn’t worth it for me while Linux support is still seen as an afterthought.

2·3 months agoHuh, cool that The Finals work, seems like developers can enable EAC for Linux. Bit dumb that not more do it.
I’m hoping with the Steam Machine getting more popular that we get even more of a shift in the future.

I’d love to switch over, but a lot of games don’t run on Linux (especially multiplayer games with anti-cheat). Yes, it’s mostly on the developers, but it’s annoying as hell.

3·3 months agoNah, they did that in the past, then demand suddenly went back to normal. That’s why my 64 GB DDR5 RAM was 200€ last year.
They are scared shitless to expand, because if they do and the AI bubble bursts they won’t make their money back. So they obviously prefer to constrain the supply, rake in massive profits and just wait it out.

You collect ingredients, brew potions and sell them. With the gold/reputation earned you can buy things (skins, pets, buffs).
And you can decorate your neighborhood :)

2·3 months agoI had a look at those apps / communities. They mostly try to sell a service to you. Like weirdly enough the app hides all reviews, but when you dig deeper the reviews that are there are “I paid for the service and got my app approved!”
Really fishy.


I’ve started my own project a few months ago (fully free mobile game on Android and iOS), it can be a fun hobby, but when it’s not so fun you burn out even quicker. So I guess it depends on if it’s just a small project for yourself or if you make it public…
