Comment on My steam machine arrived!
riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoRead 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.
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?

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