- Comment on Valve quietly tweaked the Steam Machine details removing "4K gaming at 60 FPS" 10 hours ago:
Remember: companies are not your friend.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 days ago:
The steam machine is based on RDNA 3 aka the RX 7000 series, and we knew it was heavily underclocked. Even thinking about the 9060 xt was a lofty expectation.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 4 days ago:
You’re still paying the premium for getting a low power parts in a small form factor. At half the price it’s a lot easier to justify to someone who doesn’t really care. But at almost twice the price that FPS per dollar difference is a lot higher.
This random ass power spec computer is going to kick the shit out of the steam machine. Again if size isn’t a concern. And I’m sure actual oems have smaller pcs with less compromised performance.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 4 days ago:
Obviously, no shit. I never meant to imply that this was targeted at me. But I know multiple people who already have a high end computer who would also like this for their living room.
If it was $600 like I’d originally hoped I’d be interested. I wasn’t going to get one day 1, but I’d have picked one up once they’re consistently in stock. But $1000 for mid specs is rough for anyone. Just like the steam controller, Valve has made another hyper niche device.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 4 days ago:
That was before the RAM shortage. It’s going to be at least 1 full year before RAM price start going down and they can offer discounts. Unless the AI bubble pops. And that’ll have huge economic consequences.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 4 days ago:
The frame sure aint gonna be cheap hardware. 0% chance it can match the quest in price. But since it doesn’t need as much storage I’m hoping it’ll be 700-800. But I wouldn’t blink if it’s $1000. Valve just doesn’t have the economies of scale Meta will.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 4 days ago:
Same for me. I was expecting like $1200 for the base model which nobody should pay that much for such middling specs.
But still $1k is way more than I’d pay for an HTPC. I’d much rather the steam link approach and use streaming to my already nice and powerful desktop. I guess this is a nice thing to point newbies who want a box that should “just work” and don’t already have something and don’t want to build.
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook warns AI-driven price increases are unavoidable 5 days ago:
How often are you creating new Apple IDs on phones without any previous cell connections?
And why not just create the account in settings after you set up the phone? There’s no reason to reset the phone just to make an Apple ID.

Does grub only allow one keyboard at a time by default?
- Comment on New Steam update shows four Steam Machine models, though we still don't have a release date 1 month ago:
It’s not really a console at that point. The biggest upside to selling a fully complete out of the box experience is you’ve set the floor. Much like how the steam deck set the floor for handheld performance. People have one point of comparison, how does it compare to the steam machine. Not how does it compare to a steam machine.
- Comment on Got my Steam Controller today 1 month ago:
I came from an elite 2 too. I think I feel the same about the vibration motors. I think the OG 360s are worse than the steams, but the Elites honestly seem about perfect to me.
Also I haven’t measured it, but do the elites triggers feel much longer than the steam? I primarily use a controller to play FH5/motorsport and they feel shallower.
- Comment on Some speculation on the Steam Controller and scalpers 1 month ago:
there’s basically no way you can find no difference between the trackpads on the Steam Controller, and the trackpad on the PS controllers
Never said there’s no difference, just that it’s good enough to navigate the desktop on a couch.
Does a PS 4/5 allow you to fully remap all the controls of a game to literally whatever you want?
Not natively, but they’re a normal directinput device so there’s plenty of software out there to do it. Plus steam input for steam games.
- Comment on Some speculation on the Steam Controller and scalpers 1 month ago:
How many people do you think really want a steam controller? It costs more than an xbox or ps5 factory controller. TMR isn’t unique to the steam controller, the ps4/5 controllers have a trackpad for basic navigating the desktop on a couch, and you can only use it with steam games. (GN review) For any normal person there’s very little reason to get it over the myriad of other great controllers out there.
Valve themselves even said they’re targeting a niche.

It was probably easier to spam continue in PC vs mobile. It wasn’t until I got good at hitting continue before it scrolled I got through.
- Comment on Steam Controller is Out of Stock 1 month ago:
No controller should be proprietary to one launcher on PC. This is classic valve being platform exclusive dicks.
- Comment on Steam Controller is Out of Stock 1 month ago:
Did you get the “There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction.” Error? Just spam continue on that screen. Don’t bother changing payment methods, it’s their processor that’s dying.
- Comment on Land ho, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced's system requirements have washed ashore 2 months ago:
Wow you need upscaling to hit 4k 60 on the 4090?
They also suggest the 7900xtx which is a lot worse so may be it just needs an ungodly 24 gigs of vram?

They connect to your phone via Bluetooth, or some with cables. You can’t really block Bluetooth without jamming. Idk about China, but in the US that’s highly illegal, and will break every 2.4ghz device (like WiFi)

25H2 still supports it. I just did the reset option on a fully updated 25H2 machine and it had no issues.
- Comment on Should I buy a used Steam Deck for Forza Horizon 5 and potentially FH6? 3 months ago:
FH6 is supposed to based on the same engine as the new Motorsport game. FH6s minimum system requirements are even more than Motorsport. And Motorsport runs like butts even on a higher end PC. 5 might be playable, but 6 almost definitely won’t be.

- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 5 months ago:
I know Video editing software uses it for things like motion tracking.
It’s all stuff your GPU can do, but the NPU can do it for like 1/10th to 1/100th the power.

I’m not sure there’s many DDR5 sticks of ram that are ewaste. Most probably still work just fine unless they were DOA and tossed.
- Comment on Valve is stopping production of LCD Steam Deck models, once sold out they will be gone forever 5 months ago:
This is a steam deck, a game console, not a normal computer. If your taskbar is visible 70% of the time I question what you’re doing with the device.
