- Comment on Valve have apparently already prepared individually packaged spare parts for the Steam Frame (my spacer was broken due to mishandling during shipping) 21 hours ago:
Yeah, they had these with the index too. But I don’t think that they were branded. They are usually good about taking care of existing customers with the VR stuff.
- Comment on Programmer ports Super Mario 64 to Microsoft’s Zune HD media player — the 2009 iPod rival runs the game natively on its Nvidia Tegra chip, with touchscreen controls and saves 1 week ago:
AI strikes again.

AI is making anything and everything run on anything and everything.
- Comment on Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots 2 weeks ago:
It’s so disingenuous how these phased things can be planned out by professionals. I hate it.
- Comment on Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots 2 weeks ago:
Aaron Swartz helped create RSS too.
- Comment on FromSoftware's first experiment with, of all things, horse armor DLC runs awry, as Elden Ring players manage to spawn free duplicate items in multiplayer 5 weeks ago:
Classic networking issue.
- Comment on Beat Saber is now Steam Frame Verified 1 month ago:
Well, it wasn’t ARM. And it wasn’t something that had onboard processing. So, it didn’t do anything for Linux broadly at all, really.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 months ago:
Mice don’t need sealed in batteries. What the hell…
- Comment on dBrand Companion Cube cancelled: 3 months ago:
Well, the sport you are talking about is seeing how much you can steal and get away with. So…
- Comment on The dbrand Portal themed Steam Machine case has vanished 3 months ago:
Lame.
Someone like dbrand should be well versed in IP rights. Making deals should be a core competency.
This should make anyone question their quality and legitimacy.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney blasts Steam for putting AI tags on games — says move is ‘irresponsible of Valve’ 3 months ago:
If people don’t care about AI, then it won’t be a big deal, Tim.
- Comment on "It's too dangerous for us to speculate": Valve don't know if Steam Machine prices will drop in the future, after admitting that "some people are going to priced out" 3 months ago:
I trust the prices will go down if they can. On all of their hardware.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 months ago:
Is there another option that’s cheaper for someone who wants this form factor and to not fuck around building a PC and wants to move away from consoles?
It’s not like it’s expensive in a vacuum. Gaming is just expensive these days.
I think you are forgetting what the goal is here.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 months ago:
Yup, the times are a changing.
- Comment on The Steam Frame Will Have An Enthusiast Kit With A Hot-Swappable Battery 3 months ago:
Eh, rumors are the battery life will be low in the device. So, this addresses that.
- Comment on Questions about the steam frame 4 months ago:
Yeah, I need to use similar for those.
- Comment on Questions about the steam frame 4 months ago:
A short, like 2 or three foot, USB extension cable might help you out if you do run into USB 3 interference issues.
- Comment on Broadcom gets early start on WiFi 8 with next-gen wireless routing kit 4 months ago:
Maybe it’ll have all the promised WiFi 7 features.
- Comment on Australian Teens Impacted By The Social Media Ban Are Getting Less News 4 months ago:
Israel is committing genocide, but I don’t think this ban was for that reason.
Also, I’m a dumbass and spelt genocide wrong, and I just noticed that iOS seemed to refuse to offer suggestions for correcting it no matter how I tweaked it. That’s weird. Maybe I’m overthinking it.
- Comment on Australian Teens Impacted By The Social Media Ban Are Getting Less News 4 months ago:
My friends who post “news” with links to Twitter always seem to post an aggregator account that just posts a screenshot and a blurb, never any links to further details or sources or reporting. I sometimes press them to share a better link.
- Comment on Alleged Steam Machine specs according to Chris Mizo 5 months ago:
It’s a shame it’s only 8GB of vram. But that was already constrained before the memory apocalypse.
- Comment on Steam's NSFW and Mature tags ditched by Valve in favour of "more descriptive" ones like Sexual Content and Gore, as part of wider revamp 5 months ago:
“NSFW” is a terrible label and people should stop using it.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
It was just a meme bro.
- Comment on AI data center bans are rapidly multiplying across the US — 69 jurisdictions block new builds, with four moves noted as permanent 5 months ago:
Yeah, it has to do with scale. That’s the difference. The scale is just bonkers.

That doesn’t sound too fun, other people were the point for me.
- Comment on Kevin O'Leary says opponents of his Utah data center are 'professional protesters' — and some are powered by AI 5 months ago:
“I call anything I dislike AI.” Is becoming an obnoxious trope. It a wide range of contexts.
- Comment on Please Rockstar and Take-Two, push GTA 6's price up to $80 for the good of "the entire industry", Bank of America beg 5 months ago:
It’s not even clear if GTAO will be included at launch. It wasn’t for GTAV. But GTAO also wasn’t the most profitable game in the history of all games yet either. So… GTAO2 might be there at launch.
- Comment on Anyone manage to order a controller? 5 months ago:
It’s 2026 and we still don’t have the technology to support server demand surges like this in a way that is appealing to implement.
When I first saw such things happen over 20 years ago, I figured it was always incompetence. Now I know it’s just reality.
