Afaik, the list of titles you can do that with is around 130. On top of that, the "great on frame" baseline is 30fps at 720p. If you also take into account the fact that the snapdragon 8 gen 3 is already 3 years old and how little the Steam Frame battery lasts, then the whole idea starts to sound a lot worse.

Is it cool you can do it? Sure. Would you actually want to do it and will you have a good time? Not sure, but doesn't sound like it.

Okay, but what are your other options?

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Ah. I tried.

How about this: use the Index.

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The index costs about the same and requires base stations. That's a very bad recommendation.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah, so what are your options you're looking at

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

it still seems like a good experience for flights

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl -1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Better bring a few battery packs. Battery on standalone lasts like 1.5hrs.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

Depends. Ltt put out a video where they said it even lasted under an hour in heavy usage.

most commercial flights on 737s I've seen do have outlets at the seat

your negativity wont stop us from running firefox and text editors on it. a wayland compositor placed in 3D space, anyone?

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl -1 points 5 days ago

That's not a thing exclusive to the steam frame. But sure, have fun.
