I’d say this could apply to a lot of new cars too. But yeah, it feels pretty unusual to see an industry shit the bed like this.
- Comment on If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ?? 1 week ago:
Yeah same, less than I thought : 1445, but I’m pretty sure that includes my OLED steam deck. Savings a little over 2k.
- Comment on Single player games 1 week ago:
Yeah, right. I seem to be a slow player too - at the mo I’m 160 hours into baldur’s gate 3 and still only just in act 2. I think Amy multiplayer game with me in it would be frustrating for everyone. I prefer doing my own thing at my own pace.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 week ago:
Yeah, a lot of people wait a few months for the bugs to be ironed out.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 week ago:
I mean, it’s not likely to run on the steam deck and that’s my only gaming device, so. . .
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 2 weeks ago:
I have much less screen time now as an adult. But games have grown in every way and are now a legitimate art form. It’s hard to say if I had more fun playing jet set willy on my 48k Sinclair spectrum, or playing cyberpunk on my steam deck. Both were great, in different ways.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, nostalgia is a big thing here. Past experiences that were amazing just don’t hold up compared to modern tech. In most cases anyway, some stuff is fairly timeless.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 2 weeks ago:
I had the original Gameboy, and that was cool as fuck at the time. Later I had a PS2, loved that shit, spent an entire summer sat in a squat with my site boy mates, smoking crack and playing vice city. And silent hill, on my own, in the dark. Great machine, great memories.
But really I think my favourite is the one I have now, the OLED steam deck. Nostalgia aside, it’s amazing to see how tech has progressed in my lifetime. (My first computer had 1k RAM lol). Steam deck is, IMO, the best so far, certainly best I’ve had. I’m just pleased to have lived long enough to see things come so far from pong and pacman.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, wish I’d thought of it. There are always fools with too much money.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’ve built PCs before, could do it again, but I’m busy and I can’t be arsed. Also, it would probably cost about the same as this machine, just with me doing the labour. Plus, this device looks nice and valve have so far got a good record of making quality hardware, at least IMO.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
Valve seem to have been pretty good so far about keeping scalpers from becoming part of their distribution network. Compared to the shit we saw with the PS5, for example.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m on a similar salary. The only reason I could afford my steam deck is because I live in a van. Housing is most people’s biggest expense. Reducing that means I have a bit of disposable income, even a small savings account. But it’s not an ideal situation, and not feasible at all for some people.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I live in a small space so the steam deck is my only gaming device. Never tried VR but was considering the steam frame just for the big screen experience.
- Comment on Am I just bad at games??? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah just recently. Never played this type of game before but I’m really enjoying it.
- Comment on Am I just bad at games??? 2 weeks ago:
I always seem to take at least twice the stated play time to finish a game. Yeah, I think I’m just a bit slow. But if I’m enjoying myself, no stress. I’m playing baldur’s gate at the mo, 140 hours in and I’ve only just started act 2.
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but my 386 had a turbo button!

A turd in a brown paper bag makes a good shit grenade.
- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 2 weeks ago:
Lol yeah that could be true. I’d definitely be first in line for a steam deck 2, the first one is a great little machine.
- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I tried 5 recently, it held up okay for a fairly old game.
- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 2 weeks ago:
It’s very unlikely to be playable on the steam deck, so I won’t be playing it. That’s my only gaming device. Looking forward to seeing others enjoying it tho.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a blast from the past! I used to play it on the Amiga in like 1990. Loved it too.

Maybe they see it as a loss leader with the exclusives thing?
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it’s quite in the same category but I’m playing baldur’s gate 3 at the moment and really enjoying it. I’d definitely recommend that.

Yeah, it was really a spaniel, and he didn’t ‘pat its back’ with his hand.

The splatter of a lobbed turd in a paper bag is an effective means of expressing dissatisfaction.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I loved 2016 but couldn’t get into eternal at all. I’ll probably try the dark ages in a couple of years when it’s on sale for a few quid, I’m less enthused as it’s not Mick Gordon doing the music and the music was such a big part of the vibe.
- Comment on Valve Reaffirms Steam Machine Summer Launch 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I know it’ll run stuff itself - Snapdragon processor yeah? But I’m not sure how that will do with graphically intensive stuff, I guess that’s why it’ll steam from a PC
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I got about 10 hours in and was enjoying it but then baldur’s gate 3 went on sale and I’ve not touched it since.
