@knnbccbfb @mooreslawisdead You're paying a separate margin on every component and don't have bulk discounts like Valve has and it's still cheaper.

@mooreslawisdead Gamer's Nexus reviewed it and valued the components at 979 usd (without considering shipping etc.) there's no way it could be 800. Ignorance is a bliss.

The world has not changed. Gabe has.
If the Steam Machine was $800 or something, we could argue about if they were purely screwed by RAM prices...but at $1050 he's just planning his next yacht.

@mooreslawisdead It is crazy expensive based on our preconceived notions. But the world has changed. This is the new normal. Best deals are on Macs and Switch 2.

@RobinPoedev How do you so consistently have the worst takes imaginable.

Cant think of a single thing that looks better in the new version

@Pirat_Nation so... performance issues ARE THEIR fault
English
Epic Games has released a major Unreal Engine 5 update that runs twice as fast on Nintendo Switch 2.
The update introduces a new lighting system called Lumen Lite. According to Epic, it is “twice as fast as Lumen High Quality” and is designed to “preserve much of the visual impact at a significantly lower GPU cost.”
Epic also said that this makes it possible for “games that rely on global illumination for artistic purposes” to run on Nintendo Switch 2 at 60 FPS.

@Brother_O4 @TheCartelDel That huge performance cost is a non issue for smaller games. I'm almost never cpu limited in UE games.
English
@TheCartelDel blueprints are about 50 to 100 times the performance cost over c++.... so if anyone wondering why ue5 is cpu heavy. blueprints, lumen, and nanite.

Lara Croft new design from February 2024 vs December 2025 (almost 2 years apart)
Notice anything?

@jackofallgames7 When you update your driver every game has to recompile shaders. You get stutter while it compiles. It should go away after a while of playing.
English
Reminded why I moved away from PC gaming 🫠
Decided to jump on PC for the first time in a while, updated all my drivers, and every game now has significant stutter.
Only to find out my PC just installed a broken update and claims it’s the latest one 💀 What do I even do?

How is Compulsion Games doing bros?

Bro, this guy worked officially on the game South of Midnight and is now confirming that Microsoft actively discourages artists from creating curvy female characters in its games The pattern has seemed obvious for a while. Look at his Lara Croft Someone should interview him

@ViolinSpeedruns Kh1 combat is dogshit and is purely carried by nostalgia
English
I've been seeing people arguing about KH1 vs KH2 vs KH3 combat, and I'm here to argue that all three of them are amazing in their own right! Each KH game has a unique and fresh take on the combat and gameplay, and that's what I love so much about the KH series.

@MeklordPrime @Okami13_ They don't undo them they store them and switch back when they have a chance to combo.
English
@20yoBoomer @Okami13_ They are horrible and ruin the pace of the fight. Funny you say that because most of the gameplay from “pros” would immediately undo the transformation to avoid the nonsense
English
@Okami13_ Absolute trash man, they should have stuck to the KH2 formula not the garbage formula from KH3 with its transforming keyblades and overcinamtic finishers. Hard pass.
English
@WiggerMaggot They looked like completely different people it wasn't just graphics.
English
“Guys, the 20+ year old games that had enormous graphical leaps in between releases looked different to each other, so the new game is allowed to be ugly now”
Crymson (CEO of the Mark-VII gang)@Crimson_Knyght
"Why does Cortan look so different? Why can't 343 get things right?" Bungie had like 3 designs for Cortana. She looks fine and can't wait to see her in motion
English
@Pyri_4451 @EmpireEnemyy I pick Steam as well when it's an option. I'm just not a manchild that will throw a tantrum if it's not there.
English
@20yoBoomer @EmpireEnemyy Why would anyone go for the less superior platform, known as Epic Games Launcher? When Steam has much more to offer?
English
You’re literally holding Rocket League, Fortnite, Fall Guys, the Unreal series, Alan Wake 2, and more all hostage from any actually good gaming platform you fucking idiot

@EmpireEnemyy All slop with 0 impact on my gaming experience. I guess steaminput is nice if you use some random controller without xinput.

@20yoBoomer The icon that has no good achievement support, no community functions, no steam input, no workshop, no Linux compatibility, it doesn’t even have a fucking screenshot button dude come on

This is a thing thats done quite often in eastern europe.
But what i find fascinating is that leftist who are usually pro abortion even in the last trimester, and claim its just a clump of cells, become very upset when someone does an abortion if they find out the child has down syndrome.
So it stops being a lump of cells when it has a disability?
Like before "not a person" after disability "personhood"?
I need a leftist to explain this to me if possible.

Asmongold Says He Would Too & Doesn't Understand Why People Would Have Moral Problems with This After Reacting to YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and His Wife Revealing They Had an Abortion After Learning Their Unborn Baby Had Down Syndrome 😬👀 “I don't even think about this. To me, it's such an obvious decision. I can't even comprehend why a person would have moral problems with this. What if it's your kid? Of course I'd do it”

"Perception is greater than reality."
Looks like you fell for the brochure. It's a shame because I despise when corporations lie to consumers with false advertising but gullible people like you just swallow it up with ease.
