Huh?
- Comment on Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point 2 weeks ago:
I mean, true, and I am a Linux user. But my buddy managed to brick bazzite 3 times and has returned to windows, defeated.
I honestly don’t understand how, but here we are.

I’m just assuming but my assumption is that from the people that are active steam users, the ones that opt in on the survey are in general more involved in gaming than those who don’t, and if they are more involved, the chances that they invest more in gaming than those less involved are high, and part of that investment is the rig.
So, 3 assumptions there, but they make perfect sense to me. If those are actually true, then the survey has a overrepresentation of extra involved gamers, and those have an overrepresentation of better rigs. Thus the survey has a survivorship bias into better rigs, not worse.
If their conclusion is that, even with that bias, 70% don’t have that good rigs, I’d say that their conclusion is sound.
Mind you, I’m not saying that people who do the survey have good rigs, I’m saying that the amount of people that have good rigs compared to those that don’t is probably higher in percentage in the survey due to above.
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 2 weeks ago:
Oh, well… I usually prefer to watch those with an eye covered if you catch my drift…
Either that or we use our androidTV TV to watch them in the proper app.
In all fairness, it IS a valid issue, yet more minor than how you presented it xD. But yeah, it sucks if you want to have a Linux home cinema instead of using the smart tv, agreed.

Streaming of media won’t be a thing since most services have DRM that relies on HDCP handshakes these days.
Can you elaborate? I can listen to streamed music from streaming apps, I watch streamed videos via YouTube or other platforms like dropout or beacon, and I host a jellyfin server in a debian box which I then watch in my endeavour desktop no problem. I also stream sometimes via discord or twitch to me friends.
Which “Streaming media” am I missing?
- Comment on Steam Controller 3 weeks ago:
I agree, no way in hell we are getting it though lol.
- Comment on Steam Controller 3 weeks ago:
You say that because you prefer joysticks, but imagine using touchpad for camera movements and then going for buttons. Hella uncomfortable, something that was a plus in the old steam controller. Basically a downgrade.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 month ago:
If they don’t have two graphic card slots ofc you wouldn’t use that, I mentioned it because my mono has two. I’d be surprised if their PC only had two SATA/m2 slots overall though. If they do, they sadly are hardware bound, maybe they could buy a USB to m2 adapter (like a big USB case) and use the M2 like an external hard drive, but that only works well if the USB slot is 3.1 or 3.2, I don’t remember which.
All I’m saying is that getting a add for games like PoE, helldivers and keeping Stardiew valley on the HDD, or just keeping the current active games on the SSD (I did this since forever when I had a 500gb SSD and a 4tb drive bought 8 years ago) should improve their experience a lot.

Keep it in the 4tb disk? Or is it all games? You can keep videos or music on the HDD, it’s the resource heavy games that benefit the most from the SSD. They suggested getting a 1tb add ON TOP OF the HDD, you are assuming it’s to replace it. The HDD doesn’t disappear from existence when buying a SSD and I don’t believe their motherboard doesn’t have slots for another drive. I have a nvme risk in the graphic card slot via an after and it’s honestly as fast as an actual m2 slot.
This comment chain is super weird.
