@vilujidiot @MizoChris It provides all the same control functionality as the Steam Deck, so Aperture Desk Job serves as exactly what you are requesting

@MizoChris I wish Valve would have released a small game to highlight the features of the controller. They did it for the Deck and Sony did it for the PS5

This is actually a bigger Steam Controller update than it sounds. • SDL3 now supports the new 2026 Steam Controller outside of Steam • That means games using SDL can work with it even if the Steam client is not running • Touchpads, stick capacitive touch, and grip sense support are part of the push • This is a big win for Linux and non-Steam use in general • Valve also pushed firmware tweaks for rumble/gyro and trackpad behavior

@Flat2VR Yet my understanding is that the proper VR Motion Controls conversion of Subnautica 1 never made it to a 1.0 release, and hasn't been updated for 9 months. Unless there is some other effort I am not aware of?

Fun fact: modding Subnautica into VR was the reason we even started the Flat2VR Discord in the first place. So excited for Subnautica 2! It's starting to come together already with UEVR!

@SadlyItsBradley Wow there is not even any ambiguity. It's objectively worse in all the examples.

I thought this was a meme making fun of generative AI making certain things worse But then I saw who posted it 💀

@MrDachi87 @jackhuynh @AMD That is down to the game devs. I would expect that knowing FSR 4 will be applicable to a much larger chunk of potential customer, will make implementation in games much more attractive/worthwhile.

@jackhuynh @AMD This is very good of you! Now please work on getting FSR 4.1 on more games! Thank you!

As a lifelong gamer, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to push gaming experiences forward across CPUs, GPUs, software, and games. My team and I have been working hard to evolve @AMD FSR 4 and bring it to more cards. We power over 1 billion gaming devices worldwide. It’s a responsibility we care deeply about. 🎮 This July, RDNA 3 players will experience FSR Upscaling 4.1, delivering sharper visuals and smoother gameplay than ever before. I’m grateful to our fans. Your enthusiasm and ideas inspire us to keep pushing gaming forward. FSR Upscaling 4.1 on RDNA 3 will be ready out of the box for Radeon 7000 Series players in over 300 supported games at launch. And for our RDNA 2 players, we have something exciting coming in early 2027. FSR Upscaling 4.1 will be coming to your cards as well, bringing sharper visuals and smoother gameplay to even more gamers. We cannot wait to show you what is next. Stay tuned 🚀

@jackhuynh @AMD This is fantastic news for RDNA 4 owners, such as myself. Uptake for FSR 4 in games has not been great, as it only benefited such a small sliver of potential customers. Wider applicability of FSR4 should result in wider support.

@LSToast Frame doesn't really replace an (presumably) Index though. SLAM Tracked Standalone vs Lighthouse Tracked SteamVR Native PCVR They're completely different product categories. Just get GripVR - I'm very happy with mine so far.

sooo.... steam frame any day now right?

@mick_tagg @tonyvaughanMP Ah - wasn't aware that some were inevitable. Parachuting someone in, is still a bad look though.

@zig131 @tonyvaughanMP There are two by-elections forthcoming, due to MPs resigning, that would suit, surely, his self-promoted dedication to all-things *north*.

The Labour NEC must make its view clear now and end the uncertainty. If a leadership contest is triggered, the Labour Party cannot exclude the most popular politician of any political party in the U.K. Andy Burnham also has significant executive experience as a former cabinet minister and successful Metro Mayor. The NEC and PM must be explicit that in the event of a contest Andy Burnham will not be blocked should he stand. This should be decided and communicated now. See my interview from Channel 4 below:

@RushHour3OnDVD @s8box AI companies are haemorrhaging money to provide AI services as free/cheaply as they currently do - hoping to get people hooked. I can't see the average joe, and small businesses actually paying subscription fees contingent with running a profitable AI business.

@s8box People need to get over AI generated content. It’s not going anywhere.

We're punishing AI thumbnails - if your game looks like generic slop, it'll rank lower 📉 We also talk about our Steam reviews 🫠 Plus FSR3 upscaling, a big physics update, review tag filtering and way more. sbox.game/news/update-26…

@mixedrealityTV @DPVR_Global Since when did "sexy" mean actively bad. What is it with HMD designers going for form over function. DPVR had a fantastic opportunity to dominate sub-£1000 PCVR - learn from the mistakes of the E4 and make something actually good. Instead they make another 4K microOLED HMD 🙄

And here we go! Live from Shanghai VRAR Expo: this is DPVR's new PCVR headset, sporting 4k microOled panels, passthrough and extremely sexy form factor. I will go hands-on later. Share this for more coverage of the launch! @DPVR_Global

@raf_nogueira @SadlyItsBradley Frame Gen adds latency. It regresses the key reason why a higher frame rate is desirable. Definitely not something you want in VR. Reprojection and space warp are different - they're predictive instead of interpolative. Reprojection doesn't result in frames being held back.

@SadlyItsBradley FSR combined with frame gen and the eye tracking dynamic resolution will make possible Steam frame to run AAA games. This will be huge

Valve added new documentation for Steam Frame’s compatibility requirements “With the release of Steam Frame, we're bringing the Steam library to a new portable form factor” It hints to Proton improvements over time, and how to enable improved reprojection tech for your VR games

@Noah_A_S @martydudeVR @magicleap This isn't a haptic gloves - it "just" does finger tracking, which IMHO is far more important for immersion than per-finger haptics IMHO. My opinion is that haptic gloves are a fools errand, outside of high-end training setups.

@martydudeVR A Haptic Glove will be the future of XR Controllers. Especially in AR. I should know. As an authority on all things @magicleap, I know that they patented the haptic glove long before they launched Magic Leap One: Creator Edition.

The fact we just casually have tech like this is so awesome

@libriscent Yeah peeps be like "just sing an octave lower" but I can't help but try and hit the same notes the original vocalist did

Any other autistic people sing by mimicking? Meaning, I don't just sing with my own voice. It's like my brain tries to sound like the song. Does that make sense to anyone?

@PolitlcsUK Seems foolhardy when there is no viable successor lined up. I'd much rather Starmer than skeevy cretinous Streeting, Burnham is not an MP, and Rayner is tainted by the stamp duty thing.

@ArabDas31313 @MarkSharon_DP @but_cyclists Traffic Lights are suggestions when it comes to pedestrians - it's perfectly reasonable to use your ininitiatve. The pedestrian likely saw the car in the Left turn lane slow/stop, and very reasonably thought they were good to go.

@MarkSharon_DP @but_cyclists Pause the clip at 4 seconds and try again.

A trained and licensed motorist correctly gives priority to a pedestrian who is mid way through crossing the road

@54JohnBull @but_cyclists The pedestrian saw that car slow/stop, and fairly thought they were good to go seeing as it was in the only lane that should be turning Left.

@but_cyclists Everything wrong with almost everyone, including the pedestrian crossing on the red man. Only the grey car that stopped for the red light on the left was correct.

@JankyByDesign Can I convince you not to instead, by pointing out that one of the Capitol Rioters had the Outsider's Mark on thier hand

Someone convince me not to get Corvo/Emily's mark tattooed.. because every time I play Dishonored it starts feeling like a better idea

@tinybnuuy I remember you ran a VRChat meet once to celebrate a major new version, and so many people showed up.

sometimes i wonder if my existence matters to people, i question all the time if im even memorable to people. i try so hard to be noteworthy by making software nobody else wants to make or that i want myself. the silence is deafening.

@AntonHand If you'd used the kind of human facsimiles possible in VR on mobile hardware, then peeps would be complaining about the enemies looking uncanny instead. Getting the right balance of cartoony to avoid the uncanny valley is hard. Hot Dogs are a good call 👍

*taps the sign*

@digitalfoundry Why has no journalist outright confirmed you will be able to install Steam, and other arbitrary software on it? How it will be open enough to run Steam, while having exclusive back-compat capabilities is the big unanswered question. Could back-compat come to all Wondows PCs?

Project Helix: console, PC or both? Will non-RT fallback modes get worse over time? And what's going on with Lego Batman's 30fps frame-gen spec recommendation? the DF Direct Q+A Show returns: youtu.be/CFVeOQjEokY
