• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond Steam Machine: Why Valve's New ARM Support Shouldn't Be Overlooked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just nuts to me… My first laptop came with 512MB of RAM and only supported up to 2GB. They were still selling Macbook Pros with only 8GB of memory a year or two ago.

  12GB SHOULD be enough to do everything, especially if it’s running a linux OS. But I guess we can’t have nice things because of memory hogs like Chrome.

  I was confused about what it meant by “Lossless” since it’s frame gen… there’s no compression, or anything to lose, it’s starting from nothing.

  As far as I can tell it means nothing, it’s just the branding for the “Lossless Scaling” tool on Steam. There’s no new lossless algorithm involved here.

  And it makes the 64gb models on ebay actually a good deal since you can upgrade the SSD and it have a full performance 2TB Steam Deck

  There’s actually an official transparent case Steam Deck too. They had the limited edition OLED when it first came out.

  Are you serious? I bought GTA5 for PS3 in 2013 and later the PC version in 2015. That ship has sailed.

  Story mode is at best 50% of the content at this point. Where’s my 50% refund?

  You’re basically arguing that a square isn’t a very good representation of a rectangle because it’s more than a rectangle. But the fact is, a square is a type of rectangle, just like a Steam Deck is a type of PC.

  It’s not “proper gaming” unless your 1000W water cooled gaming rig is heating up your entire room to 100°, just to show you the latest in ray traced puddles /s

  That’s the 512gb version even. You can get the 64gb version for $296 right now, which is a great deal. Upgrading the SSD later is pretty easy too.

  You can still install whatever OS you want on it, unlike a PS5. It would be nice if you could get into desktop mode without signing in once, but that’s not the end of the world. You need a Steam account to even buy it in the first place, and they’re not tracking you nearly as much as say Microsoft.
