It’s sorta dead - the TL;DR is that Sony cut a deal with the developer during the PSVR2 launch to create a crossplay port with the PC and PS5 players, and an unfortunate consequence of this was that mods had to abide by Sony’s content policies, which nuked steam workshop support from orbit.

It’s slowly been gaining more community content ever since (especially since the communities are split in terms of mod policies now and most PC servers are community hosted), but we haven’t reached the former glory yet. The core gamemodes and fundamentals are as solid as ever though.

Contractors on the other hand, never had this situation happen, but it is crossplay with Meta Quest users (so graphics aren’t the best and you have more squeakers).

Into the Radius and Half Life Alyx would be what you are looking for, along with games like Pavlov VR/Contractors (since you have human opponents).

Also, use PCVR. Avoid Meta’s ecosystem (almost all of their games are shallow AF)

That’s actually the same case with the Steam Deck, apart from the hardware form factor.

SteamVR/OpenXR has been a standard for a long time, so pretty much all headsets can work on the platform (and by extension, there are plenty of vr games that run both on Steam and off of steam using the standard, such as the Vivecraft Minecraft Java edition mod :D). As a happy Valve Index owner for several years I am definitely looking forward to upgrading to the Steam Frame and selling my old headset, although I’m not sure when that’ll make sense for me personally (since the index still works and plays games well).

Oh yeah some recommendations for good VR games:

• Into the Radius 1 and 2 (STALKER/Metro like experience but VR)
• Half Life Alyx (the one and only)
• Pavlov VR/Contractors (if you like Counterstrike/Battlefield style gameplay)
• VRChat (meeting so many cool people and exploring some crazy worlds)
• Way too many good mods that bring VR gameplay to desktop games (best ones are Vivecraft and SPT VR in my current experience)

It is, using SODIMMs (Laptop form factor)

Credit where credit’s due, Valve did that for the Steam Deck’s entry pricing. Although the danger for the Steam Machine would be potential abuse for massive orders (at Valve’s expense) for things like call centers and offices rather than individuals.

Have you seen most switch 1 multiplat ports? They’re absolute trash.

Yeah, it cropped up after people managed to install Linux distros on the hardware, but essentially there’s not much reason to so so if you plan on playing games and software that were designed for the base OS (Orbus) unless for noise or seek time latency (super niche).

Honestly unless the PS4 is in a “pirate everything and throw it under the TV as an entertainment center” situation, you have much better options for budget gaming.

You’d have to ask Sony’s engineering team. Perhaps it had something to do with power delivery, even though that makes very little sense.

I don’t mind - clarification requests are something I’m always glad to answer :)

Why Toby Fox went with Materia I’ll never get. Was it because of the console space? (If he stuck to just PC could he have remained an independent stakeholder?)

Actually swapping out the HDD for an SSD on the PS4 will do next to nothing performance wise, because in Sony’s “infinite wisdom”, the drive is connected using an internal SATA to USB 2 adapter. The only benefit you’ll get is instant seek times, but not better data transfer speeds.

(Primarily because Microsoft is contractually obligated to support Win10 IOT LTSC until 2032, and that support timeline only exists for security updates, since IOT LTSC’s target use case is places like hospitals, banks, etc…)

(Also, you’re not using a third party service that may introduce additional points of failure, and may not patch vulnerabilities at the speed that MS does for LTSC, since MS does not want to lose out on future LTSC contracts)

…you don’t need to? Massgrave’s website has the process explained pretty well down to a T.

…Isn’t pirated Win 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC both simpler to configure and just as stable/updated?

Alright, after checking Polygon, GamesRadar, and IGN articles, there are mentions of DRM but not the malware payloads (I guess the original article I looked at might have conflated this guy with someone else). I’ll retract that part of the statement.

It’s a bit of telephone, I got that segment from an article discussing the topic. Let me see if I can locate it.

Then it’ll be moved to a self-hosted git in a country where that doesn’t matter. Or the scene will host copies.
