Wait, there’s another queue?

Waitlist (ಥ﹏ಥ)
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
Or, you know, producing enough to meet demand from the start. People have gotten so used to sought after items being in short supply, the thought that companies can actually gauge demand quite well and could produce enough stock doesn’t even cross their mind anymore.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
The lottery is fine, it’s the fact it’s even necessary I abhor.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
No, I’d love there to be enough supply for the vast majority of prospective buyers.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
Oh no, the lottery is the most fair way to deal with expected demand far exceeding supply, no question about that.
I just long for a time when there was enough supply right from the start. I can’t remember having to queue or wait weeks for sought-after electronics in my youth. I don’t even blame Valve here, it seems to be more common everywhere now.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
Price is alright given the market conditions, but the lottery really ticks me off.

I miss the time when you could just buy things.

When you actually receive one — in a acouple of months — it’ll work.
- Comment on LTT side channel Short Circuit has accidentally published their first 30 minutes with Steam Frame early. 2 weeks ago:
I’d hope so. Excluding Steam Machine from streaming would be a hilariously bad look.

By the time you actually hold one in your hands it’ll likely be fixed.

This is pretty cool, but the power draw is massive. If it could be optimized I could see myself using this.

Very cool! You known what would also be cool? Releasing the damn thing!

Oh how I wish that had been their actual statement.

Oh man, can’t wait for them coming crawling back once this bubble pops.
- Comment on Steam Machine Reservation eBay Listings Double Retail Price as Scalpers Take Hold of Valve's New Console 2 months ago:
Nothing makes sense anymore. People will buy anything if it’s just hyped up and rare enough, without any regard to it’s utility or intrinsic value. Everything has become bored apes.
And I don’t mean to dunk on the steam machine itself, it is a good device for a particular niche. But at twice the price? That’s perfectly ridiculous.
- Comment on I'm tired of GTA 3 months ago:
I had high hopes for GTA IV, especially with the character’s background. But the actual game and characters just completely fell flat for me.

- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 months ago:
I really wanted one, but at this price point I can build a considerably more capable mATX PC. If I had a living room screen I might consider it, but as a pure gaming PC it doesn’t work for me.

Sweeney is just so insufferable.

Not just gaming companies. I watch every prodct from a listed compny with suspicion by now.
- Comment on Anyone manage to order a controller? 4 months ago:
Here’s my confession: I will rarely use it and never sell it. It’s my second true collector’s item, much like the original. I’m perfectly happy with mouse and keyboard, I just want to own one for the sake of it.
- Comment on Anyone manage to order a controller? 4 months ago:
I did it! Spamming “Continue” actually worked! Now let’s see when it gets delivered.
- Comment on Anyone manage to order a controller? 4 months ago:
That was very smart, I’ll keep that in mind for when the next hardware drops.

Have been using bazzite for over a year now, got no complaints.
- Comment on The sequel to Garry's Mod releases this month, and Valve will let you publish your creations as standalone Steam games, like dafty Finn sim My Summer Cottage 5 months ago:
That’s certainly an interesting experiment.
- Comment on While the jury's still out on it, Highguard gets a temporary new mode that ups the headcount in matches 7 months ago:
The thing is, I’d have given it a chance if I could play it on Linux. But alas, I can only watch from the sidelines.
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 8 months ago:
I watched the gameplay video and it was just so, so meh. I see what they were going for, but it just falls flat on so many levels. Ironically for a Bond game, it lacks style. There was such a lack of consistency, of thought, it’s like they fed various better games to an AI and this is the result. It’s all over the place.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 9 months ago:
The inability to move the taskbar to the top was literally one of my main reasons to switch to Linux. Good work, MS product manager.
- Comment on [Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame? 10 months ago:
I’d appreciate one place to discuss the whole steam hardware ecosystem, so yes.
