And the thumbsticks are hall-effect.

THANK YOU.

See, nintendo? It's not that hard!

*TMR. Which are actually better than hall effect.

It's a cube, but for gaming!

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe we could call it GamingCube!

That seems a little long. How about just gamecube?

Nintendo has issued a lawsuit

Perhaps GabeCube then?

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If we do not collectively agree to call it the GabeCube, I'm gonna riot.

From a company owned by Gabe.

I really hope the Frame can work together with Bazzite - sounds awesome. And the new Steam Machine will definitely get customers that don't want to build their own.

Absolutely awesome drop.

Unfortunately no pricing has been announced. I think that will determine if this hardware is worth the money. The design is pretty cool though. The big downside is 8GB VRAM and GPU is AMD's RDNA3 which is bit old. Otherwise it's an interesting concept.

It's not hard to make users happy when you're not a greedy pig trying to control everything.

I think naming the VR headset the Steam Frame is a bit weird, TBH. Unless it'll be hella moddable or something... Cuz in my mind, the word "frame" kinda implies it's a base for a more complicated thing, you know?

Not a big deal or anything, just my initial thought about seeing that it's a VR headset.

So just the one? Damn. Most VR shoots for a minimum 70 a second. 🤷‍♂️
