So it’s obvious for you to only think about yourself? Gotcha.
- Comment on [Frame] Landed on the waitlist, two friends as well (Europe) 2 weeks ago:
So because it was better for you, you preferred the old method. Got it.
- Comment on [Frame] Landed on the waitlist, two friends as well (Europe) 2 weeks ago:
It’s the fairest solution imo. What would you prefer? A bot beating you to the punch?
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
The index costs about the same and requires base stations. That’s a very bad recommendation.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
And only twice as expensive, what a steal!
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
Do you have the BOM to substantiate your claims or are you just winging it? This device does not seem to be that much better than a pico 4 ultra to justify the price difference.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
Price is objective. Cost is relative. The price is high and the cost is poor when compared to other offerings.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
Pcvr?
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
Afaik, the list of titles you can do that with is around 130. On top of that, the “great on frame” baseline is 30fps at 720p. If you also take into account the fact that the snapdragon 8 gen 3 is already 3 years old and how little the Steam Frame battery lasts, then the whole idea starts to sound a lot worse.
Is it cool you can do it? Sure. Would you actually want to do it and will you have a good time? Not sure, but doesn’t sound like it.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
That doesn’t make this price not terrible. It just alligns with the terribleness we exepect nowadays.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
That’s so extremely vague that I don’t even know how to respond. What’s desktop class for you? x86? What type of “apps” would you want to run on a vr headset?
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
$1050 is not terrible for you? Ok…

I’m literally playing nfsu 2 and signalis. I also think ray tracing is dumb af and we’re nowhere near phitorealism. So no, you’re dead wrong.
However, I also want to play the latest RE and Control Resonant when it comes out. Not to mention that I play these games on a 1440p 170hz screen and would like to upgrade to alienware’s new ultrawide oled.
steam directly tests that hardware in steam os, so less likelihood of issues
Issues like what, exactly? Unless you have a pc that’s over a decade old, you won’t have any “hardware issues”.
not all hardware is compatible with each other when building either
There’s this thing called hwpartpicker. You should use it. Hw incompatibility isn’t rocket science.

I disagree on the hardware. I think that a custom apu with rdna 3 in 2026 and this anemic is basically doa. It can barely handle, 1080p and you can forget about high refresh rates.
Also, have you seen teardowns? It’s a very complicated device to service. Something as simple as replacing/adding ram is very much a non-trivial task.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
There’s no reason why a steam machine would be inmune to software/driver/hardware issues. I mean, it’s basically a laptop in a different form factor and laptops hace issues too.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
That has absolutely never happened to me in over 2 decades. Sucks for you I guess.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
The steam machine IS a pc.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
A device you can’t repair or upgrade is objectively worse than one you can. If you prefer the latter beacause it’s a bit smaller, then that’s subjective.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
No one owns the truth, we all have our own. Should I add “imo” after every statement? Don’t be thick.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
Not taking into account the cec bit, everything else is pretty objective. You’re trading in a few cm² for a lot of unnecessary inconvenience.

Doesn’t literally everyone post their own opinions? What a dumb comment to make.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
Nah bruh. No hate here. I guess I was bored at the moment and started posting without a second thought. This definitely is the wrong place, but I do think that what I said is true. This steam machine v1 will most likely end up like the licensed steam machines valve launched way back when.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
Fair enough.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
Electronic devices aren’t toys and them breaking is a fact, not an opinion. Literally nothing lasts forever. Accidents happen too.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
That’s literally a subjective opinion. You might need a thesaurus dude.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
Lol. If I wanted a steam machine, I would’ve bpught it.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
If you already have a gaming pc then this makes even less sense. Just stream the games to your tv using a laptop. Or even better, a steam deck. See that is a device that justifies its compromises by offering an actually unique form factor that lets you game on the go. The “form factor” of the steam machine is “itx but smaller, impossible to repair and just as expensive”. Yeah, no thanks.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
Same goes for literally every comment in social media. Solid argument there bud xD
Also, electronic devices always break. It’s not a matter of “if”, but rather “when” and “what”. I didn’t say that I wish it breaks, just that it’ll be a pia to fix when it does.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 2 months ago:
Not having cec control is such a minor inconvenience that I honestly don’t even care. Regarding size, between tiny, unfixable and unupgradeable and small but fixabla and upgradeable, the choice is pretty simple. Heck, the steam machine is not even better value than a similarly priced pc. It even performs worse. Hopefully v2 will be better, if there is one.

You can hate on facts, they’ll still be facts. Have fun ignoring reality, I guess.
