This is either b8 or you’re just not a very nice person.

People losing their jobs should never make anyne happy.

Wish I could share that optimism.

I’m literally playing nfsu 2 and signalis. I also think ray tracing is dumb af and we’re nowhere near phitorealism. So no, you’re dead wrong.

However, I also want to play the latest RE and Control Resonant when it comes out. Not to mention that I play these games on a 1440p 170hz screen and would like to upgrade to alienware’s new ultrawide oled. Something like the steam machine would not be enough for that.

steam directly tests that hardware in steam os, so less likelihood of issues

Issues like what, exactly? Unless you have a pc that’s over a decade old, you won’t have any “hardware issues”.

not all hardware is compatible with each other when building either

There’s this thing called hwpartpicker. You should use it. Hw incompatibility isn’t rocket science.

I disagree on the hardware. I think that a custom apu with rdna 3 in 2026 and this anemic is basically doa. It can barely handle, 1080p and you can forget about high refresh rates.

Also, have you seen teardowns? It’s a very complicated device to service. Something as simple as replacing/adding ram is very much a non-trivial task.

There’s no reason why a steam machine would be inmune to software/driver/hardware issues. I mean, it’s basically a laptop in a different form factor and laptops hace issues too.

That has absolutely never happened to me in over 2 decades. Sucks for you I guess.

Classic reddit comeback to feel superior. Clown.

The steam machine IS a pc. I’ve also been “pc gaming” and haven’t gone crazy or had unsolvable issues. When you can’t fix something it’s usually user error or ineptitude.

A device you can’t repair or upgrade is objectively worse than one you can. If you prefer the latter beacause it’s a bit smaller, then that’s subjective.

No one owns the truth, we all have our own. Should I add “imo” after every statement? Don’t be thick.

Not taking into account the cec bit, everything else is pretty objective. You’re trading in a few cm² for a lot of unnecessary inconvenience, and you’re not even saving any money.

I don’t. I hate working in coffee shops, but I’ve been forced to do so several times for different reasons. Maybe put your best foot forward next time and consider that the other person didn’t have a choice. Funny how you asked me if I was ok, but you’re the one scoffing at strangers for no good reason.

Doesn’t literally everyone post their own opinions? What a dumb comment to make.

Nah bruh. No hate here. I guess I was bored at the moment and started posting without a second thought. This definitely is the wrong place, but I do think that what I said is true. This steam machine v1 will most likely end up like the licensed steam machines valve launched way back when.

Fair enough.

I’m perfectly fine. It’s just kinda annoying when people assume that the guy taking a zoom call in a coffee shop does so becuse he chooses to. A lot of times the people doing that didn’t have a choice. And, after all, it’s just a person talking to another person. If they’re being loud, just tell them.

A coworking space

A lot of them don’t have day/week passes.

A library with a meeting room/quiet study room

You’d be surprised by how many cities don’t have one of these.

At your home

What if I’m travelling?

At your company’s satellite branch if they have one

They don’t.

In the shade under a tree at a park away from people

No wifi + might be unsafe depending on the city.

Thanks for nothing brub.

Then stay in your house. Problem solved.
