I’m sorry for asking instead of Googling. For one, I’m not a techie person. For another, I scoured this Reddit and found SO many conflicting comments.

I was under the impression that, as a standalone device, the Frame could run HL: Alyx. Some YouTubers and articles have said yes, others have said no. Some comments on this very subreddit have said yes, others have said no.

So what’s the answer? I haven’t played HL:A since my old headset gave up the ghost.

And can I play traditional games with my mouse and keyboard, standalone? Or is that a streaming thing only? If you want to help give me some perspective, let’s use my favorite series as a litmus test. Can I play these games standalone: Half Life 1? Half Life 2? Black Mesa? HL: A?

Tl;dr confused about what the Frame can do on its own vs. streaming from another PC. I thought the Frame WAS a PC. Thank you for taking the time to help me!

Hi,

I’m really excited about the SF. From what I’ve read, I’m expecting my hopes on this to be dashed. I’m wondering how practical it would be to use the SF for productivity.

I don’t mean anything too intense. I mean like, while wearing it, can I have one virtual screen with Netflix playing while I have another window that lets me edit a document, a spreadsheet, write an email in outlook, use Claude etc?

Assuming I just do some basic office work, could I use this thing as my primary PC? Hope I’m not asking the dumbest question ever, and if I am, hope you can go easy on me.

Thanks!
