- Comment on Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone 2 days ago:
800 Euros is $930 US which is probably close to reality, but the problem is gaming pricing as a rule looks at the number as being comparable without conversion.
So you get sillyness like the PS5 Pro launching at $699 US but £699 and €799. Even though that conversion comes out to be $699 $937 and $930.
I could see them launching at $1,000 US and then trying to go “Well, that’s the same as £1,000 or €1,000” when it’s not.
- Comment on Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone 2 days ago:
For real! And you see all those comments about “Why isn’t it priced like a console?” and I’m like “My brother in Christ, have you SEEN console prices lately?” $600, $650, $700, $750, $800?
Handhelds are even worse.
- Comment on Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone 2 days ago:
I love all the articles going “It’s going to cost more than you expect!!!” and I’m like “Really? Because I ‘expected’ around $1,000…”
It’s like people haven’t been watching pricing in the last year or so…

- Comment on Valve has plans for a travel case that charges your Steam Deck, leak reveals 1 month ago:
I’d think, at least for the existing Steam Decks, it would involve some kind of internal modification as well since they don’t do charging like this.

See how they run on the Steam Deck and then consider the Steam Machine is apparently 6x more powerful.

- Comment on There's no "spyware" in Borderlands 4, Take-Two insist, following upset over terms of service 3 months ago:
Is it worth buying though? I felt burned by Pre-Sequel and 3 was kind of “Meh”.
Not concerned with Denuvo since I rarely buy or play games on PC, I just want to know if it’s worth playing.

If you replace your junior staff with AI, where will future senior staff come from? 🤔

- Comment on Former Dragon Age producer posts tell-all video about the messy birth of EA and BioWare's Anthem 5 months ago:
Anthem hurt because the initial demo looked so promising then the Alpha came out and absolutely shit the bed. I had been looking forward to playing what the demo showed. :(
- Comment on Does anyone know what this part is called? 6 months ago:
Looks like the haptics connector bracket on the right button board according to iFixit:
“Exercise caution when lifting this connector—pry up on the connector itself, not its housing.
Use the pointed end of a spudger to lift up on the haptics cable to disconnect it.
Alternatively, you can leave the haptics connected to the button board and flip the board up and over the edge of the shell and out of the way.”
Lots of comments along the lines of:
“Please remove this step. It is virtually impossible to remove this without breaking the housing and it’s ultimately not necessary.”
Looks like replacing the board as a whole is around $141.

- Comment on Cable ISPs compare data caps to food menus: Don’t make us offer unlimited soup 1 year ago:
Except that unlimited soup or salad costs the business money to provide.
Data doesn’t. It’s simply 1s and 0s.
It doesn’t cost an ISP any more to provide the 4 trillionth 1 than it does to provide the first one.
Consuming data also doesn’t deny data availability to someone else, unlike electricity or water.
If I decide to fire up a hydroponics operation and start using 4000x more electricity and water than my neighbors, that could impact them negatively. If I run a torrent farm? Not so much.
