Except that just means they’d optimize for that specific hardware in the steam machine and still run like shit on anything else.

Power wise, they said the steam machine is equivalent to what 70% of the steam users already have and use. If developers arent already optimizing for that specific block, then one more machine out of thousands wont encourage it.

still solves the problem.

can someone kidnap this motherfucker and make him work normal labor job for 80 hours a week, for a year, and see how much he likes this stupid fucking pants on head idea after that

Yeah, that seems par for the course with current Paradox games the past few years…

Cities Skylines is 2 years old and still shit, too… Hell paradox is even going so far as to change the dev company working on it at the start of next year. Which is doing wonders for peoples hope for the future of the game /s

What? VTM2 came out?

When?

I legitimately did not know it was released.

Is that part of why its flopping?

Or is the gameplay bugged to fuck/story shit/etc?

Bullshit translator: “I want to sell more AI made games, so i can reduce costs by firing everyone, and being held accountable for using AI is gonna prevent me from bilking idiots to increase my fortunes by another billion or 5”

ah yes, every time they want to do something abhorrent, they cry “its for the children!” to immediately try and silence any critics.

yeah, if you’re interests are super narrow then yeah it wouldnt be good for you.

i mean… you can pause your month and skip the shit you have no interest in…

I think in 10 years of being subscribed I’ve only felt the need to do it like…twice? i think

i almost never buy games on steam itself anymore…Even on the steam sales. The sales are a poor imitation of the great values that they were 10+ years ago, and quite frankly…the quality of games coming out isnt what it was 10+ years ago, either.

I subscribe to Humble Monthly and, eventually, get almost every game I’ve ever wanted.

Yep, and since it has both system ram AND dedicated gddr graphics ram… its gonna be double dipped in the price gouging by the memory manufacturers

Yeah, I agree.

I detest Linus, but at least attack him for legitimate shit.

He was approaching linux as a basic idiot, like someone like me, and that is absolutely something a new average linux user would absolutely do.

iirc, that bug was known before hand, and no one bothered to fix it until famous man made video that got famous.

Eh, I dont want steam machine becoming a standardized PC.

having CPU and GPU baked into the board and unchangable will just increase e-waste cause it will age out much faster than a PC which you could, 3-4 years down the line, max out the CPU in, throw more ram into, or upgrade teh GPU, to keep it relevant for another 4+ years

It serves its niche purpose, but it should not become standard.

With all of that being said, it seems to me it’s very likely it will be around 800 but less than 1000

maybe more with the way ram prices are skyrocketing… because even though it comes out next year, they are probably being manufactured and stockpiled right now.

Yep.

Just cause it doesnt affect you, doesnt mean it wont eventually have an effect on you.

Lots of people shrugging their shoulders and going “Why should I care about spying? I’ve got nothing to hide” are exactly why we are where we are right now.

No, with a VPN the only thing your ISP sees is you connecting to a VPN server IP.

But browser finger printing, on the other hand, can identify you to every website you visit, due to info your browser hands over to every website… Such as OS version, Resolution, installed Plugins, browser settings, geolocation info, etc…which is often unique enough to identify you out of the whole of the internet.

Ironically, locking your browser down with more security features/settings/plugins often makes you more identifiable. Cause capitalism is god damned sure they are gonna track you and monetize the hell out of your information, whether its via your name, your user name, or just your digital fingerprint.

Yeah, I know I’m not the target demographic.

That doesnt mean I dont think its an interesting piece of tech, and I would like one as a toy/curiousity… but i’d only get one if I can get it used/second hand and dirt cheap (and probably broken, so i can drive the price lower and fix it myself)

If that was the reason and logic then every store would do that.

They don’t.

Everyone on earth but this one stupid ass gas station just does the 1 dollar precharge.

If that was true the steam deck would have already done it.

Both of you guys are missing the point.

He wasnt charged 150 bucks for gas.

The gas station is using a 150 dollar pre-charge to make sure the card is good. most places only do a 1 dollar pre-charge.

150 is stupid.
