idk, I am pretty weird, and not in a good “quirky” way…
- Comment on Anon likes a woman 5 days ago:
I don’t really think it’s that simple.
I think it’s about that weird thing people (not women) do that makes them attracted to strangers but not friends. I find it mentioned everywhere, both online and offline.
I think that’s what anon is experiencing too.
I really don’t understand why people just lose all attraction as soon as mysteriousness is no longer a factor. And I’ve seen it happen with my own damn eyes, to me AND others.
I don’t get it.
It’s as if as soon as I become readily available to anyone, I suddenly become much more worthless and disposable too… Suddenly every other aspect of theif life takes priority and I’m number last. I guess because other things are only available conditionally whereas I’m pretty much always available? Idk.
Also if I’m not interested in someone, that someone always wants to interact. It’s as if life constantly works to spite me.

This Dremor guy just hates everything that isn’t a PC.
It’s baffling to me how he’s commenting about it without knowing a sliver about the purpose of the product, or how it’s built.
And I’m a PC guy too. I’d never buy a steam machine, but compared to our usual consoles, the SM is a breath of consumer-friendly fresh air.
Also, releasing SteamOS is a fucking goated move by Valve. One that Sony or Microsoft would have never made with their consoles.

350 isn’t nearly enough.
Yea you get a single spike in power draw and that PC crashes. No way that shitty PSU can handle peak power draw if both CPU and GPU kick in at once

It’s really fucking sad that in making this thing repairable, and relatively modifiable, people now expect everything else a PC has and compare it to a PC unjustly.
Precisely what I described…except instead of my 2 examples, it’s the versatily of it that knocks it up a weight bracket where it can’t compete.
- Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 2 weeks ago:
what they said doesn’t change what the thing is
Them comparing it to a PC is an endorsement and a marketing tactic to promote the usual good aspects of a PC of their new hardware
You can’t tell me you actually believe that thing to be more a PC than a console when it comes to the use case…
- Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 2 weeks ago:
You are seeing it as a PC. It’s not. You have to see it for what it actually is: a console. You compare this to other consoles, not to a PC.
It’s really fucking sad that in making this thing repairable, and relatively modifiable, people now expect everything else a PC has and compare it to a PC unjustly.
It’s not a prebuilt either. If it were, it would have a sticker on the CPU IHS, the power cable wouldn’t be plugged in internally, and the PSU would catch on fire on the 69th boot.
But let’s see anyway:
- repairability
- freedom of modification
- "lifetime" support in the form of security updates, if I remember right; that older steam console still receives updates like 9 years later
- shared library of games, as opposed to a locked down ecosystem like the PS5 or Xbox S
- when it dies you’ve got yourself a linux server because again, it’s not locked down
- all parts are replaceable, clearly labeled
- you can easily upgrade RAM and storage, and they aren’t that weird rare form factor some prebuilts use, it’s just an LPDDR stick I think
- it’s pretty damn quiet
- it’s tiny as hell; in a living room this really matters
- Valve support is known to be top notch
- no online pay subscription
- an open source arch-based OS that you can know for a fact is not spying on you?
But what exactly are the points in buying a PS5, for example?
- having to pay to play online?
- having a dead box after it becomes unsupported?
- getting a shit controller that breaks if your little brother breaths on it wrong and that you can’t fix because it’s a POS?
- being locked into an ecosystem forever?
- have 0 privacy and need to agree to 10 billion TOS’s every time you do anything? That POS definitely records ALL the data it can about you. I think Steam does too but I think the level of scumminess is not the same.
All just so your games run a little better?
If you don’t like it don’t buy it.
If you have a PC you’re not the target audience in the first place.

Looks inside…
- dogshit PSU
- dogshit mobo
- dogshit case with airflow as bad as a cardboard box, light years away from the SM
- it’s the 9060 XT 8GB version, same vram as the steam machine
If I bothered to look at other specs like pcie lanes, usb versions, repairability, noise, I bet my arse I’d be disappointed.

Like saying screwdrivers are useful because I used one once to hammer in a nail because I didn’t have a hammer and I had no idea what I was doing… Doesn’t mean the screwdriver was useful in that instance, it just means I was too incompetent to use the right tool and knowledge for the job.

Hahah brilliant
My dad and his workmates just use a VW Sharan for construction work. By the stuff they do to it, it’s impressive that all 4 wheels are still attached.
It always baffles me when people say they NEEEEDED to buy a new work truck when I see how dad uses their sharan at work.

My truck looks like it shouldn’t be able to haul it but it can. Yours like it should be able to but can’t.
Best instagram roast of a modern truck guy I’ve ever seen.
