- Comment on Off to the mandatory company picnic we go... 1 day ago:
Wouldn’t you know after months of no field work I had field work the day of our summer party. I’d have to drive past home to get back to the party. I did the math and, with gas prices how they are, it was cheaper for me to drive home and drink the beer I already paid for that it would have been to drive to the party for free beer. So I went home.

This meme is coming full circle with the push by all MLM douchelord slopjocks to make sure no one has an actual computer in their house anymore.
- Comment on Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog 1 day ago:
This is one of the biggest changelogs I’ve ever seen. They added two new ingot types and two new spheres along with tons of other stuff. It seems like every aspect of the game was touched in some way. Played last night and it feels good.

- Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 1 week ago:
Believe me, I’ve tried. They do not care. People who have only used consoles their whole lives will not deal. I’ve tried with different people forever. Even the people I’ve convinced to want one still won’t get one. They’d probably get this. Not for a grand though.

I’m aware that you can build and even buy a better machine for cheaper. This has always been the case, even now to a degree. Probably why I’m on my third self-built system, but I digress.
That said, if you already have an Xbox or Playstation, then the Steam Machine works right out of the box. You plug it in to your TV and you have a controller.
Compared to this where you will need, at least, a mouse and keyboard. Then potentially monitors and speakers or a headset, whatever you want to do.

I imagine this applies to other windows as well, as long as it’s normal glass.

Idk, Dyson Sphere Program maybe. Been playing the shit out of Satisfactory recently.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
Sure, it’s a huge jump. But it’s also a mostly lateral jump if you already have a PS5 or Xbox. That’s why I specifically state that this is for people who have a console but no PC. Software availability semantics aside, BeamNG coming to PS5 makes my desire to have one of these in the living room close to zero now. Unless it can run Cities Skylines 2.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
I have friends who only have consoles. This is who I think should be looking at this. People like me who wanted a second PC for the living room may pass on this because of the price, though. I don’t need a second PC that bad. But for my people with no PC, no monitors, no keyboards, this is pretty decent. Not to mention the it’s an alright deal when pricing out a build yourself.
- Comment on A Loss To The World - Legendary Doom Wolfenstein 3D Composer Bobby Prince Has Passed Away 3 weeks ago:
I was about to say he wasn’t even that old. But 81, damn. I love his stories on Doom. He had never really done any metal before which is why so many of the tracks are similar to real songs. Also Into Sandy’s City being done with piano until he set it to a harpsichord as a joke and bam, instantly iconic. Like most of his work at the time, really. RIP to one of the guys that gave me the music taste I have today.
- Comment on Any other games that have a similar vibe to My Summer Car? 4 weeks ago:
Raft is kind of like this. You’re basically told nothing and you’re out at sea on a raft that you can then build with stuff you find.
It was not for me, but almost entirely for the reasons you want a game like this, from what I’m reading.

- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 4 weeks ago:
Seems to me the only fixing they’re doing is fixing the prices lower than other clients.
Rather than what you usually hear with price fixing, where prices go up. Like Amazon with Levi jeans.
- Comment on Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers 4 weeks ago:
Only thing is gullible boomers are way less likely to buy a gift card online. Because they won’t be able to figure it out.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Sure, but if you want to do no work and go on trips all over the world for free, all you gotta do is take a gander at some Instagram “influencers” to see where I’m coming from.
Alternately you can just be born rich. That usually helps.

Have you tried being hot and having your online bio say you’re an “influencer”? Because then it’s easy.
