@Lychibe The tolerant side is never very tolerant. Just know you are (probably) fun to be around.

She literally has my build irl. Thanks for fueling a bunch of insecurities about women! Didn't know my body needed fixing Tons of cosplayers get accused of being children for being petite and flat. You guys are insufferable and I hope you know it fuels people's body dysmorphia and actually I dealt with this growing up to the point I felt ugly and wanted to die.

Pick your poison valve/steam cry babies. - take 30% of all sales - $10/mo charge to use steam for all users I'll take the 30% of all sales. They can't do this shit for free.

That's actually the only serious knock against valve I have seen in this discussion. They are bad at negotiating. They probably just vibe it and place orders with no contracts. Meaning price rises hit fast and hard. It was probably out of stock for months because they were trying to figure out how to price it now that they had to pay an extra 150 or more for ram alone.

Their supply model. Nintendo buys up a lot of supply up front and has a large stockpile of supplies. They can better absorb costs over a longer period due to contracts and such. Valve meanwhile buys in smaller batches without long term contracts. It normally keeps prices much lower but it's volatile to market prices. In a normal market, this works fine. But thanks to the AI scam, we all pay now.

It's only going to get worse. I expect all but the steam deck to rise anywhere from $100-$200 by EoY. Valve is in a weak position when it comes to component supplies compared to the other, they are susceptible to rises faster than the other companies that have huge backstock of components and contracts to rely on. But those will meet their end too soon as supply dries up for them.

People will still buy it at that price. People still pay more for a laptop with lesser specs. It costs about $1000-1100 to build a PC with the same specs as the steam machine with today's prices. So people will still go for it as long as it stays under what you can build it for.

At this point if the steam deck price is that expensive @valvesoftware might as well not release the steam machine cause it is going to be way too under powered and way too over priced!

@Peach_Fightr ROG is on its way there too. But asus is in a stronger position than valve when it comes to components and supply contracts.

@brown_john18944 @ZanderTheBoi Someone is retarded. Ram prices up. Ssd prices up. Gpu prices up. Just wait until the other consoles do the same. Valve doesn't use the same supply lines, so they are getting hit faster now that their internal supplies have dried up.

@ZanderTheBoi A ram shortage isn't enough to justify 300$ increase, cope more

Dave is living 15 years ago. A used car is marginally cheaper than new. Cars are not depreciating like they used to. You have to get into the 100k+ for there to be anything meaningful. with a new, you get warranties and guarantees that don't come with used (or they inflate the used price even more). I have this happen every few years. I go to look at used cars, see the price of one with 36k miles, then see the price of a new version of the same thing that has full warranty, and every time I go with the new.

I think Dave Ramsey is wrong about cars. There is no way to assuredly buy a "cheap and reliable" used car. You can gamble on one, but you can't be sure that's what you'll get. It's smarter to buy new. It's *extremely* hard to save money without predictable monthly expenses.

@NikTek "You will own NOTHING and be happy" Do you think this didn't apply to gaming? Home consoles? Home PCs? Cloud Gaming is inevitable and this is the first step.

> a 1TB OLED Steam Deck now costs $950 now > PS5 Pro now costs $900 > Xbox Series X costs $649 > a 32GB DDR5 RAM kit costs $400 > PS Plus prices have increased 10-13% this month > $80 games might become the standard soon Gaming is slowly becoming an expensive hobby isn't it?

Facebook's algorithm is hot trash. You can't even properly get notifications for people or groups (like MiStormChasers) that you've turned everything on for. Many times I end up with notifications hours or days late. I've mostly given up on using it as a platform. About its only use is marketplace. I mainly use X and YouTube to see your content now.

Michigan Storm Chasers@MiStormChasers·
The Facebook platform continues to make things harder for creators. New updates pushed in March & April of this year have reduced the reach of creators significantly. We've conversed with several large platform creators over the last few weeks and it has become evident that something is just off. Our daily views have dropped by 50%, meaning you guys aren't seeing our posts as often, which include our forecasts. After research, we've found that Facebook is pushing and rewarding creators who engage their audience in long form reel (video) content about niche topics to compete with other similar platforms like TikTok. Clearly we here at Michigan Storm Chasers do not fit that mold of what Facebook is currently rewarding, and neither do a majority of creators on this platform. So we're coming to you today to ask you.. do you see our posts regularly? If not, you can train your algorithm to show us more often. There are two main ways to do this. 1. Reacting to our posts. See a post of ours in your feed? Hit like, or a heart. This tells Facebook that "Hey I like this content/creator and want to see more of it! Every time you do this it trains your personal Facebook feed to show us more often. 2. You can set us as one of your "favorites" here on Facebook. You can do this manually by going to our main Facebook page profile, you'll see a grey button with 3 dots "..." click this button and find the "favorites" button. This will open options for you to set us higher in your feed as a favorite creator. You can also do this on any other page you like to stay up to date with. We appreciate you taking the time to read through this and we appreciate your support of Michigan Storm Chasers.

@seithrveined So what's your excuse going to be when Nintendo raises the price of the switch 2 by $250 later this year?

@Justin__NC @ShitpostRock2 Ok, then they might as well not make them then. Stop producing them, because you think it's dinosaur hardware. Meanwhile, it still keeps selling out. It's either stop making them at a loss (even older hardware has gone way up in price) or raise prices.

@ShitpostRock2 Because it’s dinosaur hardware, man If it was the steam box I think we’d all begrudgingly understand but $300 on dinosaur hardware is diabolical greed. EA wouldn’t even be so bold Imagine if the ps4 doubled in price today

@ljcasonlover He doesn't care. He's faking caring for the camera. His attitude is garbage, just like his calls on the field are. You can see it on his face, especially when they are playing and you see him in the dugout.

I hate ajs attitude. He goes to a presser and acts like we did everything we could and just came up short. Not a single player or coach has publicly shown the desire to win baseball games and their record reflects that
97.1 The Ticket:@971theticketxyt

A.J. Hinch on Will Vest throwing 34 pitches in the 8th: "He’s the right guy. ... I know we don’t like it when it doesn’t happen, but he can get that out." And costly miscues in the field: "The Vierling one, he got caught not playing fast enough."
