Cops getting arrested? In the US!?
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 17 hours ago:
Haha that’s fair.
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 17 hours ago:
Well they didn’t say launch price…
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 18 hours ago:
If we look at the Steam Deck, it got a ~43% price increase. If we apply that same increase to the $750 Index + controllers, you’re looking at ~$1075.
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 18 hours ago:
I feel like 1200-1300 was probably likely before the price bump.

Dude that’d be so sick!
- Comment on Valve Gives The Green Light to Install SteamOS On Desktops To Create Our Own Steam Machines 19 hours ago:
Allowed and available, but not endorsed.
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 19 hours ago:
Yea…. That was then.
Yeah… That’s what you said?
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 19 hours ago:
You can still buy and use the original base stations and they should work with the new headset.
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 19 hours ago:
They said it would be cheaper than Index at the time, so no.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing and launch announced and yes it's pricey 1 day ago:
For an uneducated consumer (which is most) it looks like a really bad deal when a PS5 is $800 or whatever.
- Comment on [Eurogamer] Steam Machine review - an utterly lovable, probably too niche, definitely too expensive gaming curio 1 day ago:
Its definitely less niche than a traditional gaming PC. It has some features that no other gaming PC has but its nothing that traditional GPU manufacturers couldn’t provide, if they could be arsed.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 1 day ago:
Sad, but expected
- Comment on ARC Raiders is broken for some Linux / SteamOS players - but a fix is on the way 1 week ago:
Pushes a breaking change without testing
Don’t worry, you can only not play the game you paid for temporarily!
- Comment on Questions about the steam frame 2 weeks ago:
No.
- Comment on Questions about the steam frame 2 weeks ago:
Yes but 6GHz is still used to support entire buildings. It’s gonna be fine on the back side of a PC.
- Comment on Questions about the steam frame 2 weeks ago:
the only USB 3.0 I have on my computer is on the back. I remember reading this thing has poor obstacle penetration
Where did you read that? It’s just WiFi. It should work anywhere WiFi works. Including through walls and such.
- Comment on God of War Laufey and Wolverine are snubbing PC, as rumoured, but I bet they come crawling back sometime after the launch of PS6 2 weeks ago:
There’s no justification in the article for the second part of the title. Console exclusives have been a thing for decades because they work.
- Comment on Privacy isn’t dead: it’s just that tech companies have made it inconvenient 2 weeks ago:
I can’t inconveniently ask mobile carriers to stop tracking my location 24/7. I can’t inconveniently ask credit card companies to stop tracking my purchases and a lot of places simply don’t accept cash anymore. I can’t inconveniently ask my car OEM to stop tracking me, and eventually there will be no old cars left or no parts available for them. I can’t ask my bank to disable SMS authentication. I can’t get a good job without forking over intimate details to sites like Indeed. I can’t inconveniently ask websites not to use browser fingerprinting to track my activity across the web, and there’s really no way to even block that effectively, either.
In some ways its inconvenient, in other ways its nearly impossible. Or expensive.
- Comment on Control Resonant release date? Yeah that's nice, now move aside so I can look at its system requirements and ohhh that's a lot of SSD space 3 weeks ago:
Its like double that, yeah
- Comment on Control Resonant release date? Yeah that's nice, now move aside so I can look at its system requirements and ohhh that's a lot of SSD space 3 weeks ago:
100GB. Its a lot but not really that unusual these days.
- Comment on Tesla's own AI trainers don't trust 'Full Self-Driving' or its safety stats, Reuters finds 3 weeks ago:
If you treat it like driver assistance its fine but probably not many people are capable of that, and the advertising is plainly fraudulent so…
- Comment on "What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" Gabe Newell reportedly once shouted at one of Valve's Lionel Hutzes during Steam porn debate 3 weeks ago:
This is clearly a clickbait hitpiece
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney throws shade at Valve / Gabe Newell for Steam Deck pricing 3 weeks ago:
Alternative title: guy causing hardware prices to go up insults competitor for raising prices.
- Comment on Intel Arc G-Series processors announced for next-gen handheld gaming PCs 3 weeks ago:
They seem to still be selling the $2k models just fine, and those cost 2x the top tier Steam Deck

Jacobin Mugatu?
- Comment on What is the aim of all the AI investment? 5 weeks ago:
The CEOs are getting paid. In America, that’s the only thing that matters.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
This doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with AI, but rather a Doordash integration that gave contractors transparency into order statuses. Which they then exploited to optimize efficiency for themselves.
- Comment on The PlayStation 5 Linux project has been upgraded to support more firmware 5 weeks ago:
This doesn’t really seem like a big deal. As of right now it only works on PS5s that have been stuck in a closet for several years. At least that’s my understanding.
Plus, why wouldn’t you just buy a PC to run Linux? Its not like PS5s are a great deal, financially.

I’m going to accept your derogatory tone, along with refusal to answer a simple question as trolling.
