- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 3 days ago:
Neat, hope you like it! I was interested in one as an upgrade to my Steam Deck since I mostly use it docked, but even before the RAMpocalypse pricing, when Valve said it would be priced like a PC I knew it would too rich for my blood. I’m guessing it was supposed to be around $750, still too high for me to justify.

Because it’s a new thing from Valve.
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 2 weeks ago:
The RAMpocalypse has widened the price gap between console makers that subsidize their hardware and Valve more than ever.

I’m hunkering down with the hardware I have and hoping I’ll be able play the games I really want to for the next 10 years.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
Although we now live in a world where hardware can be reasonably priced and still too fucking expensive for what it is at the same time.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
Much as I would love an upgrade to my Steam Deck (which I mostly used docked), I can’t justify more than $500, much less $1000. Glad I snagged the $400 LCD Steam Deck when I did. The Steam Deck price hikes are what prompted me to get a Switch 2, as I don’t see any other new sub-$500 consoles coming out for a long, long time.

Expensive, but cheaper than I expected. Even at its original price point it probably would have been more than I was willing to pay.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
Apparently Valve said to look at the Steam Deck price hike for a clue. So probably around $750 for the base model.

And you can always just pirate them too, of course!

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Alan Wake II ran like crap on the Deck.

Epic Game Store games can be played on Steam Deck via Heroic Launcher.

This asshole has more money than Gabe. People who ride in glass megayachts shouldn’t throw stones.
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
You could almost buy 2 LCD models last year for the price of a single 512 OLED now. Crazy!
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
The bright side is that Valve partnered with iFixit with the Steam Deck, so if certain parts need replacing, you can do it yourself without it costing too much. If anything happens to higher end guts, though, yeah, that would be very bad!
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
My understanding is that Valve was hoping they could wait it out and not have to raise the price. Guess they decided that selling expensive Steam Decks would be better than selling none.
- Comment on Remedy's new CEO doesn't want to "change the DNA" of the Control studio, but he does still think their games "could give a lot more" 1 month ago:
I loved the worldbuilding and atmosphere, but hated the difficulty. I soldiered through it because I wanted to see what would happen next. They fixed it with difficulty adjustments a year after it came out.
- Comment on Shelve your hopes to play Ghost of Yōtei or Saros on PC, as PlayStation boss reportedly confirms plan to stop porting narrative-driven singleplayer games 1 month ago:
I liked it better than Tsushima, myself. It probably didn’t catch on because it is pretty similar to its predecessor gameplay-wise.

- Comment on Denuvo has been broken, company promises countermeasures against new DRM bypasses — zero-day game releases become norm as security concerns mount over hypervisor-based bypass 3 months ago:
Hypervisor is too much of a security risk for me to want to use it. I’ll either get the game without Denuvo on console, wait for it to be removed, or not play it at all.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - April 2026 3 months ago:
Marvel Heroes Omega via the Project TAHITI private server. It has a lot of frame drops despite being on the lowest settings, but it’s playable. I’m surprised a game from 2018 runs this rough on the Deck.
- Comment on What game had you like this? 3 months ago:
I remember I was playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey around the time I tried RDR2 and I was hooked on the former. I’m just not patient enough for it, I suppose.
- Comment on What game had you like this? 3 months ago:
2 was just so slow compared to 1. I know they were going for ultra realism, but it made it not fun for me.
- Comment on What game had you like this? 3 months ago:
Red Dead Redemption 1. 2 I unfortunately was never able to get into.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was a great time! The ending hits you hard in the feels.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2026 4 months ago:
These past few weeks I got Switch and 3DS emulation running pretty well, so I’ve been bouncing between various exclusive games on both platforms lately. I just found out this morning that Puzzle Quest got a new release on Steam last September, though, so I’ll probably be playing that for a while as it always sucks me in when I start a playthrough. Planning to get Scott Pilgrim EX soon and play that as well.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2026 4 months ago:
Switch or Wii version? The Wii one runs a bit better, but is more of a pain to set up controls. The Switch one is perfectly playable and gyro even works.

Fallout’s premise is “what if the American dream went wrong?” Explains why it feels so familiar nowadays.
