Thank you for watching #SummerGameFest in record numbers yesterday!
And thank you for all the nice posts and feedback.
These shows wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team and all the incredible game developers who trust us to share their news with you!
i am so tired of the public view/opinion on vr (no thanks to meta). the perception the average person has on vr is just "there's nothing to play" or "the last good game came out 6 years ago" (referring to hla) when there's SO many really high quality games, especially on pcvr.
while some of it is because some people don't bother doing any research on the current state of vr before speaking about it, it is undeniable that the mass popularity of the cheap, uncomfortable meta headsets like the quest 2 and 3S spoiled the reputation vr has, and it's ridiculous how meta keeps shipping this hardware and its software, knowing that people are gonna have poor experiences with it, and vr in general will probably leave a bad taste in the user's mouth. when people think of modern vr, they think of it being uncomfortable/causing motion sickness, the slop taglike games filled with children, ai horizon worlds bullshit, deranged predators in vrchat.
but vr is so much more than that, and i really hope the steam frame helps people notice it. there's very high quality games in every genre, whether you want:
story games (boneworks, the vertigo duology, behemoth),
arcadey/sandbox games (forefront, beat saber, bonelab),
multiplayer games (vail, pavlov, vmx),
puzzle games (red matter duology, moss duology),
relaxation/exploration games (kayak vr, brink traveler)
the list really goes on, and these are only steamvr games (not even including the great library of quest and psvr2 exclusives). so please, stop with the idea that there's "nothing to do" in vr. and hopefully, the steam frame (a polished, comfortable headset) can bring the amazing pcvr library to more people.
There are now so many young people on social media who are well-informed and politically astute. It honestly gives me hope for the future, despite moronic old bastards of my age voting for Reform, the Tories, and Starmer's Labour...
I honestly feel every generation needs their own My Hero Academia. A series full of heart, with fun characters and uplifting themes and stories in the classic shonen sense.
Series like CSM and JJK triumph in subverting the shonen genre, but I feel shonens like MHA are starting to disappear in favor of new trends.
