Comment on My steam machine arrived!

• riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Read the room buddy, this is a celebratory thread. We’re excited the machines are shipping. This is a happy place. (With some gentle joking out of jealousy.).

  You threw a big 'ole damper! OP is happy they got a thing and you respond with “have fun when it breaks!” You’re going to get some funny looks when you do that.

    You can hate on facts, they’ll still be facts. Have fun ignoring reality, I guess.

    While I am not one to shit on peoples excitement and personally I kinda want a steam machine (and especially want the controller), I do also think its fair to say the fediverse absolutely loves to be anti-consumer until its consumerism that appeals to us as a group 😅

    Still not gonna be antagonistic about people’s joy though 🤷🏻‍♂️ I kinda want one, I’d be jazzed if mine just showed up too

      I feel sorry for anyone that doesn’t have at least one area they are enthusiastic enough about to splurge a little in. Still, can we really call it consumerism when Valve releases hardware so infrequently? Seriously. 11 years between controllers? 7 years between VR headsets? 6+ years expected between handhelds?

  I mean you could have made your comment about that and not “lol I hope your $1k cube breaks.”

    Same goes for literally every comment in social media. Solid argument there bud xD

    Also, electronic devices always break. It’s not a matter of “if”, but rather “when” and “what”. I didn’t say that I wish it breaks, just that it’ll be a pia to fix when it does.

      Someone here never got a single quality toy from their parents. That explains some things.

        Electronic devices aren’t toys and them breaking is a fact, not an opinion. Literally nothing lasts forever. Accidents happen too.

  Lol. Don’t assume I’m going into these purchases on blind fanboyism, and don’t confuse “niche” with “bad.” I just have very good experiences with their hardware going all the way back to the OG Controller, Link, and the Vive (which I consider theirs more than HTC’s), and that informs decisions that follow.

  “Objective”? Any objective person would have come through the thread, and then move on. There’s nothing objective about you except for the fact that you’re and objectively sad individual who is probably going through some bad life situations. By the way, I’m being as objective as you, in case you’re wondering.

  What a fucking moron 🤣

    That’s literally a subjective opinion. You might need a thesaurus dude.
