TL;DR: Valve launched the Steam Frame VR headset with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip, aiming to run Half-Life: Alyx natively and streamed from PC. The new hardware features a “Frame Verified” status for optimized games, while rumors suggest two upcoming Half-Life titles supporting PC and VR cooperative play.

    “Valve reportedly cooking”

    Ever since “cooked” became a thing I have been unable to understand titles like this (or really the slang use of cook)

    Based on the article, it looks like Valve is creating a native Linux version of the game.

      someone is cooking (in production) vs:

      someone cooked (completely did a thing)

      someone is cooked (game over, bad decisions were made, here comes the result)

        Thank you.

        At the risk of sounding like grandpa, I could have sworn in production used to be “is cooking UP” instead of just “is cooking”.

        The fluidity of language.

          A lot of slang tends to be shortening of phrases, its happened with lots of older slang, though I don’t have any examples off the top of my head right now
