  Yeah we can only hope it’s going to be better, each type has their pros and cons, but Valve is also known to innovate, so… Cross your fingers I guess

  We wouldn’t want them to run out of money… Or life, would we?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently the thumbsticks were actually shite? Mine never went out, but I’ve heard from other people.

  I think what they meant was the actual tracking of the headset and controllers, since the index used base stations PLUS accelerometers, giving them VERY precise location and movement. Whereas the frame controllers seem to be only inside-out optical, maybe with accelerometers?

  We will have to wait and see. With them being better or worse than the index, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m still excited.

  The entire index kit was 1000 before all the bullshit… iirc, you could buy just the headset for like 650, because the base stations were like 100 each and the controllers were separate too. My memory is a little fuzzy on that… But let’s say 1000 for all of it. Putting the frame, with all extras at like… 800 target price point before all the fascism scarcities, and considering the about price-doubling of ram, would put it at right about the same price as the steam machine? Maybe if they were targeting 600, it might be like 1000 now?

  Yeah same. Just checked again, nowhere near as many listings. Maybe it was all one person and they got banned

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Steam Controller ran out faster than we anticipated" Valve say, surprising no one, promising to get more stock in⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I just search exactly just steam controller, then filter price to over 100 usd, there’s several hundred results, some of which are the original one, but the vast majority are not.

  Try ebay.com, rather than .de? A lot of the listings I saw were from Australia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Steam Controller ran out faster than we anticipated" Valve say, surprising no one, promising to get more stock in⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Search Steam controller on ebay. Set minimum price for msrp.

  There are hundreds.

  I hope valve finds them and cancels their orders and bans everything about them.

  Scalpers are scum.

  This feels like a joke, but…

  All three pictures in the right column go higher by going down the page/list. It’s the exact same. Numerically higher and down on the page.

  Discord has bad judgement and are bad people.

  Like Trumpers, they only express regret when punished, then turn around and IMMEDIATELY triple-down.

  Discord is 100% AI reading everything you do through their app, profiling you and collecting data, and they want MORE.

  Bad bad bad bad bad

  No, uh, unfortunately for me, my healthcare was politicized and made illegal and now it’s bankrupting me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i cant wait to get a steam frame⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some finance stuff fell through recently for me and I will no longer be getting any of the steam hardware when it comes out. Maybe next year.

  I have a vive and an index, and even just the difference between those two is monumental

  Maybe he’s really drank the kool aid and ACTUALLY thinks people want ads and no privacy.

  I think the truth of the matter is just that a lot of people don’t care. And if they know that JKR does what she does and contribute to her rampage, entirely does make them antagonists to the cause of good.

  And then there’s the matter of willful ignorance. That’s something I can never forgive but is all too common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Hogwarts Legacy Adds FSR 3 and XeSS 2 With Mod Fixes in New Update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly just let it die like the rest of the actual cast of the movies.

  There are plenty of other great things to do with your time.

  1. don’t support things that support nazis

  2. jkr is very very rich, and very very actively a transphobe

  3. she VERY actively uses her money to degrade society

  4. “you’re just one person and don’t matter” is not good logic even if it were the logic here, which it’s not, because she’s so rich and powerful.

  Honestly, take your head out of your anus and see that you’re justifying doing a shitty thing. She’s got garbage cancer and needs to gtfo. Let the ip die, she ruined it.

  You wouldn’t say the same shit if the main proprietor were an ACTIVE Nazi. Or maybe you would also apologize on her behalf? Or does it just take some other level of mental gymnastics to justify your own ambivalence to massive injustices that aren’t at your own expense?

  Fuck jkr and the pieces of shit that give her money.
