Wouldn’t it be cool if Google had their own game streaming service to offer their customers!?

It’s not that we aren’t impressed. It is impressive. It’s just not useful.

It’s not a drug, it’s a virus.

I was not impressed in 2022 either when it was frequently wrong, didn’t back up anything it said with facts, sources or evidence, and business people kept hyping it immediately as some sort of revolution.
I spent a lot of time having an existential crisis before I realized I was not alone.

I was going to suggest Framework. You can buy them without any OS at all. But it’s going to be easily >$2k with a GPU.

People still say this about the Steam Deck 3 years later even though, as you said, there’s no evidence of that, so, good luck with your message LOL

Okay so they all come together to create a standard that they can then charge others to use. Brilliant.

I mean just about every computer and monitor supports DP, it’s only TVs that refuse to support it for some reason.
- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 1 week ago:
I honestly don’t understand why anyone (OEMs) use HDMI when DP is seemingly superior in every way. Why don’t any TVs come with DP? Why don’t streaming boxes come with DP? It’s confounding me.

95% of users are on Windows. If MS one day again decided they’re going to try to limit apps to their own store, much like they did with Windows 8 (which is what kicked this whole thing off) or like Android is suddenly doing right now, Steam will be absolutely fucked without an alternative. So SteamOS exists to give them that parachute. They can keep the freedom of PC without the dedication of creating an entirely new desktop OS.

I think MS is transitioning from XBOX = console to XBOX = MS gaming, and they’re just fumbling that communication.

Ask anyone who works in marketing is branding is important.

how many people cared about or even remember the original
The people who wrote this article do. And now so does everyone that came across it.

This is exactly why they SHOULDN’T have named it Steam Machine. The Steam Deck was released and no one talked about Steam Machines. Call it Steam Machine and suddenly everyone is reminded of the colossal flop all those years ago.

What part of “I’m gonna get rid of my xbox” makes you think they’re keeping their Xbox?

Brother I’ve just been running a plain old desktop PC with Valve’s Gamescope/Game Mode for years now. Why wait?
- Comment on Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge 2 weeks ago:
Yes, and as I said in the comment you replied to, no one is going to buy those “premium” options because it’s just AI trash.
- Comment on Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge 2 weeks ago:
Canva’s announcement stresses that the new Affinity app is “free forever” and won’t require a subscription.
Until the gov does something that holds companies liable for straight up fucking lying about this shit, I won’t believe it.

I pre-ordered a Slate. This is the only new vehicle you can buy that’s not bloated to high hell. The price is still not great but honestly this is one of those situations where I’m prepared to pay more for less.

- Comment on Stress testing and benchmarking tool OCCT gets an essential Linux fix 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t even realize this was available.
Picked it up and launched it on Steam. Wouldn’t detect GPU.
DL appimage direct from the site. GPU is detected but there’s no GPU benchmark available.
Go to run CPU benchmark and it won’t run without Patreon subscription.
No option to purchase a license. Lost interest.
- Comment on Donors for Trump’s $300m White House ballroom include Google, Apple and Palantir 4 weeks ago:
The government is demanding more and more stupid stuff for them to do, taking time and resources from more important tasks.
…like what? Keep in mind we’re talking about the federal gov, specifically. The ones that just declared Google a monopoly and then did absolutely nothing about it.
- Comment on Donors for Trump’s $300m White House ballroom include Google, Apple and Palantir 4 weeks ago:
They know that to be left alone they need to pay tribute to the king.
You make it sound like they don’t absolutely love this. Kissing his ass and personal donations are a whole lot cheaper than hiring lawyers to fight taxes or being held accountable for their shitfuckery.
