Anyway, I was just expecting a neat new headset that was too expensive and sat on the shelf next to the Quest.

What I got was a whole dream thing that WILL be way too expensive, but is so cool I can't WAIT to see what people make with it.

Expected a candy bar, got a feast.

This is fine.

AND a controller that can be customized as an interface FOR THAT PC in any configuration you can imagine because it's Valve and they're the BEST at controller accessibility and experimentation.

ANYWAY I needed good news today.

THINK OF THE ACESSIBILITY

CUSTOMIZABLE PCS WITH VR FORWARD INTERFACES AND CONTROLERS THAT CAN TAKE ALMOST ANY IMPUT SHORT OF A FULL KEYBOARD

I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE GAMES OH MY GOD

Imagine if you're paralyzed or whatever, now your PC can EASILY be displayed wherever you want.

Valve is one of the most user-friendly 'Make things for us and we will help you sell it, or just...provide it to people, and not be jerks' companies in the whole gaming space. The most tolerable monopoly

THE MOD KINGS

THE ORIGINS OF INDIE SPACES WORLDWIDE

VR just got roped into that HARD.

The lack of Oled is disappointing, but I've never been a quality snob? After about...1080p I can't tell quality well. That and I'd love to hear more about the AR? If it has Quest 3 or above level AR it's over

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THE DOORS THIS OPENS IN VR-AS PC INTERFACE NONSENSE?

I have been waiting for news about the Steam Frame (I thought it was going to be called 'Deckard' from the early rumbles, but I see the theme, for ages. I have been hunting for it, I thought it was just gonna be a Quest with bells. NOPE THIS IS COOLER

It's just BUILT TO DO THAT make your PC and VR as steamtable to each other as possible...GRAH...

MY PC's not even bad, but it's like four years old at this point IF I WERE RICH OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS.

HA one of the MAIN USES my headset gets is as a VR office space.

GETTING IT TO DO SPECIFICALLY THIS always feels like trying to kick start an old car. Figuring out Fluid could make my BT mouse and keyboard talk to my headset AND PC was a godsend

THIS IS JUST THAT

Also I don't need Pepe to be a snake, that's dangerouss...

Or perhaps some kind of...skunk snake, probably something akin to 'Gtskunkrat' if you're familiar with his work. But...broader, a big broad skunk tail with a fleshy segmented underside...maybe sight Appa energy...really lon-

SO if you 'Acquire' skunk cartoons, and can clip an mp4 or MKV it is fairly quick to produce pretty good looking gifs, you just have to be careful about the size.

From: Someone who wished they knew that when they started downloading lots of gifs from Tumblr at random

This being the one I use? So basically if you can download any cartoon, clip what seconds of it you want, then shove in here, you can a small-ish gif fairly quickly. AND it also has optimization.

I used to use Shotcut to make gifs, but they changed it in an update. Adobe premire can render gifs, but that's a subscription, in anycase Id' look for free MP4 or MKV to Gif options around the net. If you can capture a clip of a cartoon, you can put it into clients and make it a giff painlessly.

Ya know, I've seldom seen someone that makes me go 'How many gifs do you HAVE?', because I myself am a gif hoarder, but WOW

HA you might have the most extensive collection of skunk gifs and screengrabs I've seen.
November 12, 2025 at 7:34 PM
All estimations say 1.2k, which is...quite an ask when you can pick up a Quest 3 for 350 (And 250 recently on a sale). THAT SAID HOWEVER

It seems like its got some cool kit, no facebook, and Valve is like...the one tolerable monopoly, so if I can move under THAT umbrella...

AMEN
