I'm going to go against the grain and say it's their VR hardware they've been sitting on for years now.
Steam Frame, and then calling glasses "frames" is common.
Either case it seems like a bad name, but I'd reckon it's their VR/AR device.
Edit: also to add they've been working a lot on Proton for ARM as of late, as well as proton in general which they initially set out Proton as being a universal translation layer, not just x86-64.
Might catch flak for this, but Starfield.
I just wanted something mindless where I could mix FPS with base building and RPG elements. I know there's Fallout 4, but I want my bases looking nice. Starfield isn't exactly the best for looks either, but it's the best I have in my library for these aforementioned things. I'm open to suggestions, but until then I'm just going to randomly kill things on Starfield.
After the hiccup I ended up getting back on the horse somewhat. Pumping a whole hour into Japanese, Spanish and Irish, which was more than what I was doing before. 30 mins of that is immersion/listening practise though so it's less intense than the more direct study is like. I can't understand anything in Irish besides a few words, but I'm hoping the early immersion is helping train my ear more for the different sounding words/dialects.
Using TG4 for my Irish immersion, and sadly it's not available outside Ireland like I thought it'd be. Good resource though, for sure.
Many thanks for the list. It'll take me some time to get through it, but still should be worthwhile. Cheers!
Doing better now. However instead of doing Japanese, Spanish and Irish for 30 mins each, I ended up pumping at least an hour into Japanese and Spanish and next to nothing into my Irish.
I recently found out about Dreaming In Spanish, and have been addicted to that for the last few days. I can understand most of the beginner videos, but I still need a lot of direct studying to do too. So I study for 30 mins then indulge in content for 30 mins.
Nothing close to DiS for Japanese or Irish, but I wish there was.
It's not the end of the day, so maybe I'll pick up my Irish in about 5-10 mins, after I get some more tea. Also Spirit City: Lofi Sessions released their latest DLC today, so I have been slowly accruing the latest pets there. At level 56 so already have all hints unlocked, just putting time into unlocking them now.
Edit: Was told of cijapanese, which is simmilar to DiS, so I've only begun using that. I'm more confused at to what the beginner Japanese is saying compared to the Spanish, but otherwise I get the gist of somethings.
Sort of cratered yesterday, so only managed to do my Japanese and a bit of Spanish. Been awake for roughly 20 hours at this point and still need to stay up since I have things to do today, so won't have energy in me for the full work until maybe a sleep or 2. Will still stick to JP/SP until I'm back on track. If it wasn't for MaruMori and Duolingos streaks, I'd probably have a few missing days.
(I know Duolingo isn't so good, but I use it mostly to keep the habit).
It'll be worth it in the end. Wherever that end might be. I'm sure. Enjoying the journey is a smart move too.
Thanks. I tried college in the past but never managed to make it far at all. Working on myself these days for growing as a person firstly, but also have better temperment. I have mental health issues where I can hit rock bottom on a dime, so it's a constant struggle to maintain anything, but I guess I'm finally learning how to manage myself better.
Unfortunate you also go through stresses and pressure, but good to know the meditation helps. Keep on rocking on in your own journey too!
I use a website called MathAcademy, it's very expensive but I've found it's best for me and motivation. There's better structure to learning than KhanAcademy I've found. Khan teaches you something but doesn't really reiterate over it later, so you might learn something a few months ago then have to relearn it to get past the next Khan questions. What ended up making me ragequit it completely though was having no idea what I was supposed to search for when they were talking about a maths problem, using maths I had learnt but forgot, and I spent ages trying to find it to not be able to find it. Mixed in with the only weekly streak keeping you going on Khans, it didn't really motivate me very much, but this other website I use, the daily goals of reaching 30xp or 50xp keeps me active. It constantly reshuffles older teachings into your pile too, which is better for longevity in that knowledge, and the lessons are sort of short and to the point. It felt on Khan, I'd spend about 15 minutes on a lecture to do 5 minutes of maths to have to repeat it, so I also wasn't very fond of the nature of having to sit through mountains worth of videos to progress.
Long rant, but Khan is free and it's good, but if you can afford it I'd say mathacademy is probably more worthwhile. I feel like if they lowered the price, I'd probably stick to it long after I'd need it for college based things.
My routine, when my days are stable include: Japanese, Spanish, Irish, Maths, Programming, Blender, Exercise, Meditate. I do projects like VRChat worlds/avatars and stuff if I'm tinkering in Blender, Godot/boot.dev stuff sometimes with programming. I'm actually not good at most of these and still have to rely on friends for input for various aspects like Unity quirks/baking, languages/meanings, programming and the like. The meditation might seem like what's the point, but I've often ended up thinking about what would help me, and it tends to be the main thing popping back up as potential solution, so I also give that time too. I've also been on and off these tasks for various years, but I think what I'm learning the most about this trial is just learning to dedicate time towards it and be consistent.
I'm not working at the moment, so I'm sort of preparing myself for a full college life when the time hits. I sort of expect a lot of these tasks to run off into the abyss (except the maths/programming and Japanese/Spanish). So I try keep a rigid schedule so I'm a lot less overwhelmed by college when it starts. I have study sessions with a game developer friend as well as my GF. We all do separate things.
The apps I use to study Japanese are MaruMori and Busuu. For Spanish it's Duolingo and Busuu (in the near future, also Conjugato). For Irish it's a mixture of Rosetta Stone and physical books, sometimes Duolingo if Rosetta Stone annoys the crap out of me, because those audio screenings are terrible. Maths is MathsAcademy. Programming is boot.dev, YouTube tutorials (ClearCode on YT is fantastic for starting off), misc other tutorials and friends help. Blender I use Udemy and YT tutorials, along with asking a Blender guru I happen to know. Exercise is my bike/dumbbells. And Meditation I use GuidedMeditationVR (no voices), or Playne, if I don't want to enter VR, I just put on some low disturbing ambience music then try meditate for 30 mins.
Wall of text. Sorry.
I'll check out some gameplay footage of it later today. Thanks for the suggestion.
Cheers!
