But, hey, my aging PC isn’t qualified to run Windows 11
That sounds like a good thing tbh
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 1 day ago:
That was in the middle of memory prices going vertical, and I still got down voted to hell by people claiming that they were expecting $600-$800 tops…
I was getting really tired of the people that kept insisting that Valve would take a loss on the Steam Machine despite their repeated statements that they weren’t going to do so.
At least now they’ll shut up about it, though a lot of them are probably the ones getting mad about the actual release price. But that’s their fault for convincing themselves.

There’s 2TB NVME drives on Amazon for less than the price delta. Worth it

It’s supposed to be limited in capability compared to streaming from a separate pc fyi
- Comment on Steam Machine and Steam Frame shipping "this summer", Valve now rolling out verification systems 2 weeks ago:
at this point might as well redesign from ground up to be a tether device
That’s literally my point. Let me buy the non-Meta headset now, and upgrade it with more ram in 2 years when the prices aren’t as stupid
- Comment on Steam Machine and Steam Frame shipping "this summer", Valve now rolling out verification systems 2 weeks ago:
They’re not the same. The OG Steam Link isn’t a VR headset
- Comment on Steam Machine and Steam Frame shipping "this summer", Valve now rolling out verification systems 2 weeks ago:
I wonder if they’re going to have a sku for the Frame with drastically reduced ram that’s required to be tethered to a host PC and not run anything on its own until upgraded.
Being a standalone unit is nice, but I wasn’t planning on using it that wqy, and being able to save money by reducing ram would be nice
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney throws shade at Valve / Gabe Newell for Steam Deck pricing 3 weeks ago:
“Painful” could easily (and mostly likely) refer to extremely low profit margins that would take several years to pay off the development costs. And that quote specifically refers to the base 64GB version. The price difference between that and the 256GB version was way more than the increase in storage costs, despite that being the only difference.

I though that was Shia Lebouf
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney throws shade at Valve / Gabe Newell for Steam Deck pricing 3 weeks ago:
They were definitely selling at a huge loss with the original prices
No they weren’t. There is literally 0 proof of that. Quit spreading misinformation

- Comment on Valve make adjustments to Steam tags, and they settled the Vampire Survivor-like argument with Bullet Heaven 5 weeks ago:
Vampire Survivors and games inspired by it are the inverse of the bullet hell genre. Hence the the name “bullet heaven”
- Comment on Not only will the new Steam Controller scream at you but it can play tunes as well 5 weeks ago:
The reason none of your haptic controllers played tunes is because the programmers never got to have fun with it, not from a lack of ability.
Go look at 3D printers, most of them use their motors to make little beeps and jingles as feedback to the user. I even have custom gcode that gets added to every print so a tune is played when the print is done. That’s actually useful because I don’t need to wonder whether it’s done and check on it like a pot that’s about to boil

- Comment on Steam Controller: Dropped and doubled inputs?! Bad connection?! 5 weeks ago:
Finally, the pairing process is straight up laughable. Connect the controller to your puck to try to pair it, and it prompts you on screen to confirm? How am I supposed to agree to pair it if my controller isn’t paired in the first place??
Who doesn’t have a cheap-ass mouse for stuff like this?

Require an account three months old, at least one verified purchase in the past year, ten hours played across any title(s).
Most of this was already implemented. Valve required accounts to be at least 1 year old with at least one purchase. They did the same for the Steam Deck
