• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I paid about $450 for mid-range Mini PC and another $450 for a smallish egpu that should match the performance of what’s going in the Steam Machine. That was before the Rampocalypse, and I would still expect valve company to have contracted with manufacturers and component packages upstream from the public announcement so I’m still crossing my fingers people can buy these things for sub $1000.

  Hot take: I think they should only allow any one Steam account to purchase one or two units total and require at least one paid game purchase in the account history, thus frustrating the efforts of scalpers.

  Necro-Bump, but Steam announced this last week, that they’ll unleash the Steam Frame in 2026, which will make use of the FEX efforts they have been working on. This thread is a great read in that context, since there is still shockingly little chatter in consumer corners of the internet about this exciting tech.

  You are describing in-game settings.

  Folks are recommending you check up make sure the deck isn’t making ALL games more jagged with higher level settings, as described.
