I’m just not an idiot with prioritizing
Ok, that’s good. You had me worried there for a bit.

8gb works fine for most games at 1080p.
Nobody buying this is doing it to play competitive FPS games on a 4k 144hz monitor.
I’m running a 12gb card and I haven’t found a game yet that completely saturates the GPU’s memory. But then I don’t play most games with maxed out settings. And I have a system with 16 cores on the Zen5 arch and 96gb of RAM.
All you’re doing here is being an elitist and ignorant chud.

I literally said “it has to be more than a 10% price difference”. And if you’re bad at math, that’s more than $100.
And that extra $100 gets you warranty from Valve, a sleek compact form factor, and a ready-to-go system.
The price from GN is less than a $100 difference. And their point was basically to show that you can’t get much cheaper than Valve’s price, and that it is actually competitive.

Yes, you absolutely would pay more for less. I saw on the comment thread you linked to a 4th gen Intel as an example. What a joke.

i suck at picking parts and never know if they’ll fit my build
Just use pcpartpicker.com
It’s very good at telling you if parts aren’t compatible.

Money grubbing monopolistic shit bags.
Yes, those money grubbers making probably $50 on each unit. How dare they!
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
And pay more?

At this latitude?

This is overpriced for the hardware.
I challenge you to build out a parts list with comparable performance for cheaper. And it needs to be more than a 10% difference. You can’t just show a savings of $50 and claim victory, because there’s a lot you get in convenience and guarantees when you buy hardware from Valve.

Ya, there’s no way Apple would allow it in their app store

Yup, and it was a shameless money grab.

- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 5 months ago:
Not sure what to tell you, but a Mac is the last platform to go to for gaming. Apple has zero interest in gaming and have made the platform virtually hostile to gaming development.
Steam regularly has sales (really good sales, like under $5) for fairly modern games (within the last 10 years).
Wait for a sale on something like an AMD Beelink and use that.

It wanted me to make an Embark Studios account. And yes that is a big deal.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
You are aware that you see beforehand whether the game requires a separate account (at least on Steam)?
No, because as I indicated in my post, I didn’t buy it. I installed it from someone else’s account within my family group.
Also, how else would you enable crossplay/crosssave?
I don’t know, but not my concern.
And you don’t even need to use separate credentials. You can log in with Steam just fine.
Not according to the prompt I was shown.

I installed Arc Raiders from my family sharing group, fired it up then closed it and uninstalled it as soon as it says I need to create YET ANOTHER account just to play this game.
I’m done creating an account for every single game.

I had a hairdresser once that told me about her young daughter getting scratched by a raccoon. I asked if she took her to get the shots and she said “no, she’s fine”. We’re all doomed.

Even that case is highly contested as to what happened. It’s often debated that she might not have had rabies to begin with.

LLMs can actually be a useful tool for populating out unit tests.
My experience with this is the LLM commenting out the existing logic and just returning true, or putting in a skeleton unit test with a comment that says “we’ll populate the code for this unit test later”.

And not all anti-cheat is malware. I was referring to the kernel level anti-cheats.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 8 months ago:
As of now, you have to make an effort to find a game that won’t work through Proton, aside from games with malware (anti-cheat).

Why would a company create a piece of media knowing it would be unpopular with it’s core demographic?
<Looks sideways at Disney and Star Wars>
But that’s a whole other bag of worms
- Comment on Interview: ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Director Talks Challenges Of Shooting Kirk’s First Time In The Big Chair 10 months ago:
about laying the backstory for TOS.
I wouldn’t really look at it like that. There was even a nurse Chapel and doctor M’benga in TOS. This story is about Pike, but we already know what happens to him, just not the exact “why” or “how”.
And obviously when Pike’s accident happens Starfleet wouldn’t just replace the whole crew. So there has to be a sense of continuity from one captain to the next. Technically, we’re still on our 2nd chief engineer and Scotty is just a technician. We haven’t met or even heard of a McKoy, Chekov, or Suli.
This story is about Pike, and all the main crew of the Enterprise when Kirk took command would have known Pike and even worked with him.
I think this show is being done brilliantly and is the first real Trek since Voyager (I haven’t watched lower decks yet, and Picard was very odd feeling).

No. Just some weird guy in a trench coat behind a Giant Tiger offered me some white-ish looking pills. I woke up the next day with half my head shaved and my wallet was missing.
