I feel like half the stuff I'm seeing about the steam frame is "but the screens aren't as good as <headset that costs literally twice as much>"

It's kind of hard not to resent that some people seem to just have an army of others ready to reassure them and make them feel better when they stumble or are struggling with their own self-worth...
