I also got excited. However some time ago I set up waydroid and once I got it all running smoothly I was like "what now?"

I didn't know any app or game that I wanted to play over the games that I have on my PC.

So my question would be: what do you want to play?

You can say fsck in the internet

Although, I’m not really sure fsck yesss is a valid syntax

Stop censoring yourself, just say fuck

That's a fun fantasy, but this is almost certainly a way to get Oculus games running on the Steam Frame.

They're 100% coming for Oculus' lunch with this one.

I wouldn't mind a Steam Whistle, if it lets me have privacy and security.

It's at least settings things up for a real Steam Mobile, rather than it being a companion app for PC. I've been on the Valve Phone hype train since the Steam Frame information came out. Most companies wouldn't do it, but I know Valve does a lot of things just because the employees wanted something and they ended up making it a product. I could easily see that happening with a phone.

Instead of a text messager, it hits my steam messager.

I open a browser, steam store opens up.

I click on where to download apps, it opens up steam.

I use my bank, it takes it out of my steam wallet.

I have a button to call Gabe.

Christ I want to leave the duopoly so bad

Please Gaben, let this be true.

You can emulate it by opening up your mouse and carefully ripping all of the button switches other than the left one out. Then go into your BIOS, underclock your CPU (or alternatively, go to the store you got your computer or parts from and just give them more money).

Then get some plaster and just cover up most of the ports on the back of your computer. Don't worry, you'll replace them with dongles, there's a nice selection available for purchase!

Then uninstall proton and go around claiming that your computer is the only one that can handle making art (doesn't matter if you're an artist, just smugly insist this is the case).

Oh also forget that your computer is a computer. I don't know what you need to think it is, but only nerds use computers, you're not a nerd, you're cool because you're on a mac. Or pretending to be on one.

For what, exactly?

quest native VR titles are usually android

I'm hopeful this leads to being able to play older Android games.

One of the things that sucks about Android is that as the versions march on they raise the API requirements (ostensibly for security), which leaves old games being unable to run on new devices.

I have a bunch of games purchased om Humble Bundles over the years that now just refuse to run on my Android devices as their API target level is too old.

Man, it's going to be forever until we get boson.

That already exists, look up winlator. It's just that the overhead is god awful.

Roblox already works that way. Check Sober. I doubt fortnite would work cause Tim Sweeney will go to great lengths to stop it

You're completely missing the point of this. Oculus Quest uses an Android OS, which means every VR game released for Oculus Quest is an APK, which means there's a version of the game already optimized for a portable VR headset that can be run with Waydroid/Lepton. Valve is making the same move they did with the Deck, we can't convince studios to build native? Okay, we'll run whatever version it is they have already published.

This in conjunction with Fex makes it so that they should be able to run any VR game that could possibly be run in the limited hardware, and they're giving studios a way to release a "native" version that they already have laying around for better performance (or even to make their first release on Steam).

And let's not forget side-loading, most games on the Quest have already leaked their APK, they don't care too much because they're the only Android portable VR, but because the frame is an open platform people would be able to just install those files manually very easily. So if the studios won't do the minimal effort to bring their games to the frame the community will. I was momentarily sad when I realized that robo recall (which I own for the Oculus Quest) is not available on Steam, less sad now.

While I too believe the medium has been poisoned by all the mobile slop I think phone games can be fun, just the same way the game boy games or the DS games were fun.
