I very much included that context.
Lemmchen: “Wow steam machines are gonna be expensive”, on a thread specifically about a massive price hike on Steam Decks (due to memory pricing)
Your comment just now once again reaffirms that you were trying to make the case that the machine’s lack of screen, battery, and optional controller will indeed offset the expected price increases of the memory.
Everyone here is just trying to tell you that they disagree with your expectation/prediction.
But that’s all any of us is doing, after all, is predicting.
We think that the memory increases will be more impactful than not having a screen, battery (super negligible because it needs a power supply anyway), and optional controller, leading to a steam machine that will be over €1,000.
If you do also believe that, absolutely none of your comments make any sense.
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 5 days ago:
The conversation so far has been (paraphrasing) …
- Lemmchen: “Wow steam machines are gonna be expensive”, on a thread specifically about a massive price hike on Steam Decks (due to memory pricing)
- You: “Well maybe not, machines won’t have OLED screens, battery, and optional controller”
- Femtek: “yeah but those things aren’t why steam Decks are having this huge price hike. They are going up because of memory” memory is a shared component between Decks and machines.
- You: “yes, those things will impact the price, but these other things that the machine won’t have will also impact the price.”
- Femtek: “not by the same amount”
- You: “I wasn’t arguing that”
What point were you trying to make if not that having no screen/optional controller would offset the increased memory prices?

Valve didn’t “fuck up” […] It is the scalpers and only scalpers to blame.
This you?
It was wrong from Valve to not do the pre-order dance and special ordering process they already did before.
Make up your mind. You said you agreed with the commenter above, said Valve was in the wrong, and then when I suggest it’s okay to be mad at multiple parties, you switched your tune about Valve being in the wrong.
To counter your analogy, it would be a like a shop owner had been robbed before and knows the method by which they have been robbed. They also have, in the past, successfully combated the robbers. Then, the shop owner announced a highly sought after new product and… took no precautions against the robbers. In fact, this is less of an analogy and just… what Valve did.
You can be mad at the robbers and also be pretty annoyed with the shopkeeper for not doing the thing they had done in the past to successfully counteract robbers.

Instead getting mad at Valve, one should be mad at scalpers and UPS.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Your comment admits that Valve fucked up the first wave, then circle back and say people shouldn’t be mad at Valve. You can be mad at more than one thing.

I’m not sure where you live, but in many places it is the legal responsibility of the seller to ensure that the goods you purchased arrived safely into your hands. You do have options.

The person you’re replying to is not the same person that was originally asked. They are just chiming in with agreement of the first person, stating that they do not use Retrodeck because they do not like ES-DE.

Any instructions? Do you just download the whole repo in desktop mode then run the install script?
- Comment on PRAGMATA Gets The Steam Deck Verified Badge To Show It's Great On The Go 1 month ago:
I think it’s important to note that this is not, in fact, a crack. The hypervisor bypass method is not a crack and does not work on all systems (e.g., Linux). This is particularly work mentioning imho on a thread about a game being played on Steam Deck.

I would still take with a big grain of salt tbh.

Out of stock in Canada as of this comment.

Also, like, I’m not sure it holds up when thinking about FOSS. Is Nextcloud anti competitive against Microsoft because you can self host the software for free?

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for explaining it.
- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 3 months ago:
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not (Poe’s Law, and all) so just to be safe I’ll remark that releasing a product at an affordable cost is the opposite of anti competitive.

Gabe could afford to eat the price spikes of the components and sell a reasonably priced machine.
But he won’t.
- Comment on The sorry state of saving (mostly a rant) 4 months ago:
I actually find that the save methods of a game can influence its vibe. It might sound really dumb to everyone else here, but I don’t think Stardew would be quite the same game if you could save at any time. I think that’s true of some other games, too.
- Comment on The sorry state of saving (mostly a rant) 4 months ago:
Of course. It auto saves after every chamber.

Already got them all! 1800 is my favourite and I’m itching to play 117 but I can wait.

Regrettably Anno is Ubisoft. Love that game so much.
- Comment on Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone 4 months ago:
I’d expect at least the first wave to not be affected by slopocalypase pricing. To target a 1Q26 release date they had to have contracts well in advance.
