Holding Out for a Steam Frame

Sung to Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero”

Where have all the good games gone

And where are all the mods?
Where’s a hardware vendor been That fights for users and not for frauds?
Isn’t there a headset built for something other than greed?
Late at night, I toss and I turn And I dream of what I need

I need a Steam Frame

I’m holding out for a Steam Frame that’ll make VR right
It’s gotta be cool, and it’s gotta be slick And it’s gotta be comfy and light
I need a Steam Frame
I’m holding out for a Steam Frame that’ll make VR right
It’s gotta be moddable, gotta be soon
And it’s gotta be built for Half-life
Built for Half-life

Somewhere in a warehouse

It’s been waiting patiently
Somewhere, just beyond my feeds
Some hardware’s reaching back for me
Reading all the headlines
And every single tweet
I swear I’m gonna lose my mind if it doesn’t launch this week, yeah

I need a Steam Frame

I’m holding out for a Steam Frame that’ll make VR right
It’s gotta be cool, and it’s gotta be slick
And it’s gotta be comfy and light
I need a Steam Frame
I’m holding out for a Steam Frame that’ll make VR right
It’s gotta be moddable, gotta be soon
And it’s gotta be built for Half-life
Built for Half-life

I need a Steam Frame

I’m holding out for a Steam Frame that’ll make VR right

I’ve had enough of Meta looming above

I’m ready for a device that’s free
I need an OS that isn’t always watching me
Through the headaches and the sweat and eye strain
And the terrible HUD
I can feel it’s approach rumors come like a flood
(Rumors come like a flood, rumors come like a flood)
(Rumors come like a flood, rumors come like a flood)

I need a Steam Frame

I’m holding out for a Steam Frame that’ll make VR right
It’s gotta be cool, and it’s gotta be slick
And it’s gotta be comfy and light
I need a Steam Frame
I’m holding out for a Steam Frame that’ll make VR right
It’s gotta be moddable, gotta be soon
And it’s gotta be built for Half-life

I need a Steam Frame

I’m holding out for a Steam Frame that’ll make VR right

Why is this a long code block? Quoting would’ve likely fit the markdown more suitably.

OP

I wasn’t sure how to preserve newlines in the Lemmy markdown, but I think I got it now. Thanks.

Isn’t it worse than the index?

The two things that are “worse” are that it uses inside out tracking and WiFi 7 for streaming from a pc instead of using base stations and a tether cable. The displays and optics are both straight upgrades and honestly having used a quest 3 I think the inside out tracking and wireless connection are really important for room scale QOL. I imagine the tradeoffs for ease of setup and portability are probably worth it. You’re probably losing sub millimeter precision and a couple milliseconds of latency at most. The unit also weighs like half as much as the Index, and neck strain is real.

tl;Dr yes but also no, it depends who you ask
