$600 for the machine, $6000 for the RAM.
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st! 1 week ago:
Yeah, it was a novelty when the Switch came out, but how often do those crappy little joycons actually get used separated? Anyone who’s planning to play local multiplayer a lot will have multiple regular controllers.
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st! 1 week ago:
It’s definitely not enough, I filled it in no time. SD card works fine for me, tho.

I haven’t had any issues just running games off a microSD card.
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 2 weeks ago:
I plan to plug my PS5 controller into this (I think its able?)
Yes, because everything runs through Steam, which support the DS5.
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 2 weeks ago:
On Steam Deck it just works, but that’s because it’s running through Steam.
- Comment on [Meta] This community has been renamed to Steam Hardware to include the newly annouced Steam Machine and Steam Frame 2 weeks ago:
I just checked and the name is what comes up when searching, not the c/ designation. So it probably won’t cause much of an issue.
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement - (This is wild) 2 weeks ago:
when the price falls.
No longer a given, but Valve did lower the price of the Deck while every single other console got a price hike, so there’s hope.
- Comment on Steam Machine 2 weeks ago:
Oh wow, that’d be super convenient! I keep all my non-Steam games on a card and my Steam games on the console.
- Comment on Steam Machine 2 weeks ago:
I won’t be able to afford the Steam Machine at launch, but it will probably be a long time before I can easily get one anyway. Pretty sure I’m going to be jumping ship from traditional consoles to Valve with the way the industry is going. They’ve really impressed me with the Steam Deck.
I wonder if I’ll be able to drag and drop the game and save files for my non-Steam games from the Steam Deck to the Steam Machine and have them just work? That would be nice!
- Comment on The Steam Controller 2 Got A New Icon And It Further Confirms The Layout 4 weeks ago:
One of the things I like about the Steam Deck, which would carry over to a Steam console, is that it has uniform specifications that every other one has as well as opposed to the hodgepodge of possible combinations of hardware that a regular PC can have. That means that you can find out the best settings and troubleshoot problems with less RNG getting in your way.

I’d rather have controllers that don’t smell, thank you.

Drug Enforcement Administration, but is illegal in some states. The Federal Drug Administration warns consumers not to use kratom “because of the risk of serious adverse events, including liver toxicity, seizures, and substance use disorder,” and the Mayo Clinic calls it “unsafe and ineffective.”’

Not that I’m aware of. I’ve never had a 4k TV.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 4 months ago:
No wonder performance has been bad! The Deck is not meant to be a 4k system.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 4 months ago:
I wish so many games didn’t default to the Xbox layout with no option to change it. Having grown up with the SNES layout, the prompts fuck me up every time.
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 4 months ago:
Oh, I fully agree - banning an account is one thing, but banning at a hardware level is complete and utter bullshit. I’m arguing against using inaccurate terminology for what they’re doing, not supporting them in any way. As my username implies, I used to be a fan of theirs. They’ve always had a shady side, but since Iwata died and Reggie left, it all pure corporate greed there now.
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 4 months ago:
That’s correct, a large portion of the games available will be unable to be obtained on a banned console (though previously downloaded games will still work). But some still will be, including, crucially, every first-party game, which is what people regularly say they bought a Switch 2 for. So it’s not a brick.
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 4 months ago:
They can’t get game updates, but they’ll function as their base versions. If it had no way to play ANY games, that would qualify as a brick, even if you could turn it on and navigate menus. But it still has a limited ability to play some games, so not a brick, just a severely crippled console.
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 4 months ago:
A brick is very specifically a device that cannot be used for its intended purpose at all. This is a banned console that has limited functionality, not a brick. The terminology matters because people are misunderstanding just how much power Nintendo has because of it. I thought that Nintendo made it unable to get past a boot screen when I first heard the term used.
- Comment on Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape' 4 months ago:
I’m willing to believe he might have learned from his mistakes, but he was 27 when he did the most egregious things. More than old enough to know better. The older you are when you do stupid shit, the harder it will be for people to forgive you.
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 4 months ago:
Yet you could put in a Mario Kart World game card and play the game offline. This is a console with restricted utility, but it is not a brick.
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 4 months ago:
You are correct. A banned Switch 2 is severely limited in what it can do, but it is not “bricked.”
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 4 months ago:
Fuck Nintendo, but restricting a console from downloading and updating games is not the same thing as “bricking” it. That’s when a console is made unable to function at all. A banned Switch 2 can still get firmware updates and play physical games (what few there are on Switch 2). The legal action is justified, but the terminology being used in these articles is incorrect.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #20 5 months ago:
Borderlands is shipping with Denuvo DRM (yuck), but they’re also applying Symbiote (2K’s custom DRM)
I wish companies would focus on putting out good games at fair prices instead of spending so many resources DRMing the fuck out of everything (looking at you, Nintendo).
