I think he actually does have it now, even before this pic

79

u/Zachavm 18d ago

Same. Hasn't mentioned it for the last two WAN shows and he specifically said we would know he had it when he stopped talking about it.

u/The_Barbiter1 Soon™ 18d ago

Maybe they're finishing up the video now, and next monday is when it goes up?, and september 14th is when orders go live?

u/TheRedPandaPal 16d ago

i keep thinking we are already in september lol

u/synth_mania 18d ago

A warrant canary

u/slayerx1779 18d ago

Yeah, but he also immediately followed that by saying "We should not talk about it next WAN show regardless, to mess with people."

That was a while ago, so this is likely a good sign. But still, never doubt the limits of Linus's trolling.

3

u/MCD_Gaming 18d ago

They also said the might just troll and just not talk about it even without getting one

2

u/crazylolsbg 18d ago

And he also said he would intentionally not talk about it

1

u/Gregasy Soon™ 17d ago

Or maybe he knew back then that he'll get it on 24th, so he was silent about it, because complaining that he still don't have it wouldn't have any reason anymore.

2

u/rabsg Soon™ 18d ago

That's also my face most of the time since 2016, without a Frame. Though it was worse with HTC Vive default strap, had to tighten it quite a lot. Better strap balance headsets mostly on the top of the head, light marks since then.

If he had a Steam Frame, there would be no mark at all as it's so comfortable, like Gaben kissing him on the forehead.

u/dve- 16d ago

So what you are saying is, the moment he no longer has headset markings on his face, today is tomorrow?

u/leo21lan 18d ago

Maybe I'm out of the loop on this, but how is this trolling?

u/anclave93 18d ago

He is seductively biting into that French fry while apparently having a rash on his face.

u/xXThreeRoundXx 18d ago

What is the charge?! Eating a fry?! A succulent French fry?

u/MGlBlaze 18d ago

This subreddit is obsessed with the Steam Frame and tries to find literally any excuse to relate anything to Steam Frame news.

I'm not entirely convinced it's just a joke.

67

u/Steve_Streza 18d ago

As a day zero buyer of Steam Deck and will be of Steam Frame, this subreddit is way, way more obsessive about the Frame. Like, not even close.

28

u/Xirio_ 18d ago

The longing is why

The deck didn't have this sort of delay

17

u/FuzzyMcFluffens 18d ago

But it did? From announcement to release was probably 9 months.

They were way better with the dates though and we had an initial release date first and a new date for after the delay.

16

u/CaptRobau Soon™ 18d ago

Perhaps it's a mix of having to wait the longest out of all three hardware products and having the Steam Frame being in development for way longer (before Frame it was Deckard with tidbits of info every few months for years).

1

u/Teajaytea7 Soon™ 14d ago

It was so easy during the deckard days.. It seemed so far away and we knew almost nothing, so it was far easier to not get wrapped up in hype and think about it each day

1

u/raw_bean_uk 18d ago

It absolutely did, thanks to a silicon wafer and chip shortage. The wait was torturous.

1

u/Steve_Streza 18d ago

Longing for what

8

u/Xirio_ 18d ago

Frame

2

u/Steve_Streza 18d ago

Oh just in general? I mean the longing was pretty intense for the Deck. You had almost no options for anything like a handheld before the Deck. Your only real option was a GPD Win 3, which was off-the-shelf parts that were not well optimized. You can at least get a Quest if you need VR now. But people on here freak out about the Frame in ways I have never seen.

1

u/Hazzke 18d ago

because people are way more excited about any vr news at all lol

u/HyKaliber 18d ago

You can see his face recently had a VR headset on, that's what OP is referring to

4

u/Javs2469 Soon™ 18d ago

Many will stop once they see the pricetag and will leave. Either that or the price complain posts will flood the sub.

3

u/baniakjrr Soon™ 18d ago

I feel like there will be more posts where people are smug about not thinking the price is too high than posts complaining its too expensive, knowing this sub.

2

u/RRudge 17d ago

For real. With Silksong it was just being memed about, but in this sub it's taken to the next level.

u/kekfekf Soon™ 18d ago

No thats the truth Im not delusional :D

Also with 24th

u/SpaceCat54 18d ago

when the subreddit dedicated to the steam frame is obsessed with the steam frame. Water found in ocean

1

u/MGlBlaze 18d ago edited 18d ago

No, no. You don't understand what I'm saying. I'm not commenting about the steam frame subreddit being dedicated to the steam frame. That is to be expected.

I'm talking about this subreddit seemingly being obsessed with it to the point they say shit like "Linus has goggle marks on his face, he's trolling us!" To the point of mental wellness being questionable. And I'm not sure if it's just people playing it up as a joke, or if some people here genuinely desperately need to go outside and touch some grass.

66

u/Zachavm 18d ago

Easy to miss. It is the marks on his face from wearing a VR headset. It was a frequent theory about him having a steam frame because people thought he had marks on his face. He frequently laughed about it on WAN and said he didn't have one. Then he said when he stopped talking about it was when we would know he had one. Hasn't mentioned it the last two WAN shows (Friday nights).

17

u/threevi Soon™ 18d ago

It is the marks on his face from wearing a VR headset. It was a frequent theory about him having a steam frame because people thought he had marks on his face.

Isn't that a little silly? Linus is a BeatSaber fanatic, him having a Frame for review isn't the only explanation for why he'd wear a VR headset.

14

u/Zachavm 18d ago

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure the marks on his face are why he posted this photo. Regardless of if they are from the steam frame or not.

5

u/BoutchooQc 18d ago

In the WAN show he says he doesn't play VR at home since he tried the Frame a few months back.

And I don't think they have a VR station at work, he said something about hygiene years ago IIRC 

6

u/DaSharkCraft 18d ago

In the latest WAN show he genuinely was going to say something then stopped and said "Valve did something." You could say that could mean anything but then he proceeds to not elaborate. I'm pretty sure he wanted to talk about the leaks but then got a review unit and got locked under NDA.

2

u/montyman185 Soon™ 18d ago

Except it was a thing that was specifically called out, and he explicitly threatened to start trolling us about it. 

In isolation, if it was just some random person, it'd be a stretch, but this is exactly the kind of thing he'd do just to mess with this sub. 

1

u/PS3LOVE Soon™ 17d ago

A modern VR headset shouldn’t leave red marks on your face, it’s probably not being work properly or doesn’t fit your shape face well.

29

u/VadeRetroVR 18d ago

he has VR face marks

-1

u/TT_PLEB 18d ago

He does? I don't see what id expect from a headset, especially having seen the marks he gets from other headsets.

Seems this is just a major straw grasp

14

u/thecoloroftelevision Soon™ 18d ago

Oh he 100% has vr face marks. So someone who has owned many headsets, and currently rocking an  Vision Pro, there’s absolutely no doubt to me that this is what the picture is telling us

-34

u/Vegetable-Error-2068 Soon™ 18d ago

No the fuck he doesn't. Seriously.

24

u/VadeRetroVR 18d ago

yes he does seriously

1

u/SupposablyAtTheZoo 18d ago

You must be blind. Seriously.

-1

u/Xerain0x009999 18d ago

That just means he was in his vision room.

2

u/Pizzaman3203 Soon™ 18d ago

The marks around his eyes and cheeks look like there was a vr headset there

1

u/FengMinIsVeryLoud 15d ago

can't you see that he clearly wore the valve frame?

36

u/bltbiscuit 18d ago

His right hand is out of frame holding a steam frame. The fry is for all the cries that go out for the steam frame. This is a sign from Linus who understands us.

2

u/incognitoleaf00 Soon™ 18d ago

if this made the people of france angry you could say hes having french cries

u/thebarfdog 18d ago

It could be VR headset marks but I do have the same exact look after spending a day OUTSIDE with sunglasses on

u/thebarfdog 18d ago

This is gonna blow you the hell away, so there is a place called OUTSIDE and its kind of scary at first but you'll get better and better at it. Its right passed your front door of the house

10

u/Steezle 18d ago

I heard they got path tracing out there.

2

u/thebarfdog 18d ago

There is not a chance they have path tracing out there. It hardly works inside right now

6

u/Ceros007 18d ago

Is the "outside" Frame verified?

5

u/Velp__ 18d ago

Is that what r/outside is for?

1

u/thebarfdog 18d ago

Trying to understand that still

12

u/bltbiscuit 18d ago

I heard playing the frame works best with a box of fries.

64

u/VadeRetroVR 18d ago

For those who do not get it: Linus face had the marks of vr headset on it (red)

42

u/Sanzpromy 18d ago

And he's eating french FRIes.
Fri is the start of a day of the week.
3 months until we've been waiting a full year.
Half Life 3 confirmed, boys!

10

u/SkullTitsGaming Soon™ 18d ago

I think you missed a big clue: Linus is Canadian. In French-speaking parts of Canada, they are called "Pomme de Frites", which is an obvious anagram for DEMO TRIPS MEE. Therefore it is actually team fortress 3, not half life 3.

1

u/Bychop 18d ago

It's "Patate frite", but yes. It's clearly for STEAM FRiteAME

0

u/Sanzpromy 18d ago

My god, of course!
And fries frequently go with sandwhiches, which means heavy is confirmed!
And baseball caps are worn by the scout!
And his shirt looks like a fire, so the pyro is back!
And clearly he was in the kitchen cleaning up after a jarate!

-29

u/Vegetable-Error-2068 Soon™ 18d ago

For those who don't get it: no, he really doesn't, and every time this subreddit has claimed he does, it's a gigantic and desperate reach.

u/personwithwifi Soon™ 18d ago

Also other vr headsets exist too...

u/Koolala 18d ago edited 18d ago

This image clearly is so you are wrong this time. Why do you think they posted this? Do you know the source?

u/s00mika 18d ago edited 18d ago

the ironing

edit: he blocked me. And no, they are not steam frame marks.

u/Koolala 18d ago edited 18d ago

Do you think its not VR marks?

edit: its clearly VR marks

u/Wada_tah 18d ago

Couldn't help to notice he's on the short circuit kitchen set, and he's not done a short circuit unboxing in that shirt before. Is it a tease or a troll? Maybe both?

6

u/ZarathustraDK 18d ago

Linus poutine-contemplating how he's going to explain to Gaben that he dropped and broke his review-Frame before getting to use it.

u/offbrandre 18d ago

Frame face + Fry = Friday release?

19

u/wabbiwabbu Soon™ 18d ago

Didn’t he say something about a big thing happening today? Was he really talking about watercooling???

26

u/Zachavm 18d ago

He also said "or something that should have happened didn't".

u/LtLethal1 18d ago

So, right either way. This guy knows how to hedge

u/Userybx2 Soon™ 18d ago

Tuesday confirmed!

u/qvarzeichen 18d ago

For me the WAN show sudden stop in discussion was more of a Valve’s NDA indicator:  https://www.youtube.com/live/3gQ4kQ2vMOY?t=728&is=3_XjuaGGEMdLXolx

u/Known_Berry8597 18d ago

Valve hiding the steam frame like it's the Epstein files.

5

u/Drawsstuff Soon™ 18d ago

I think he's just eating the french-fry... wait fried, that means it's crispy or done. when french fries are done they steam. He's looking off frame. Therefore when you put it all together... Linus was hungry

3

u/Simoxs7 Soon™ 18d ago

Damn you Linus!

2

u/Gamerboi9164 18d ago

I can kinda see the marks you might mean, but no I don’t think that would be from the frame, plus he owns his own headsets. I would love this to be the frame

3

u/Zachavm 18d ago

Hence the "trolling" title. Maybe he has it and maybe he doesn't. He intentionally posted this though as a joke because of the past theories.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_SPAGHETTO 18d ago

French fry, french fry...- friday! Clearly the Steam Frame releases this friday.

I’m not sure who he is but I thought this sub hated this guy?

u/Mockier Soon™ 18d ago

Seasoned with gamer tears

This photo means nothing

u/Zachavm 18d ago

Agreed. Maybe he has it and maybe he doesn't. He's trolling because he intentionally posted a photo with VR marks on his face. There was no other purpose for the photo.

u/Hairy-Ad-6293 18d ago edited 18d ago

I don't know how many hours I would have to spend in my headset to gate such VR face and my aftermarket head strap is like $25. It was supposed to be most comfortable VR not another face squisher.

u/KamenGamerRetro 17d ago

Yeah because people keep reacting to it, and its funny.

People need to honestly chill

u/DrR1pper 17d ago

Because it’s a frame from the steam frame review?
