@Dying2Retire @rawr_meowlol I'm appalled that you would even consider spending time with your grandchildren as free daycare... Would it kill your generation to do something selfless for someone after you, if you continue like this none of your children will visit you on your deathbed

English

Dying to Retire@Dying2Retire·1h

Actually, it looks like there is something else going on as well. Possibly, unappreciative adult children looking for free daycare, or still asking for mom to pay everything (looks like grampy is gone), or a combination of things. Go back to campaigning for Bernie and AOC's tax the 'rich' and BLM's demands for reparations. All from the same cloth?..

After enough of these boomertales you realize the boomer grandparent views the (grand)kids as another retirement leisure activity like golf or pickleball or going out to eat instead of becoming a part of a busy, functioning family unit. They literally cannot comprehend it

@GamerNate20 @aelita1917 Steam just won a lawsuit against the roschilds they are definitely looking for something to crush them with

"why doesn't Valve just subsidize the Steam machine" because in their position, that's a direct violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Using the profits from their monopoly position in one sector to vertically integrate or expand into other business lines is illegal

@Serbrus1976 @SYACVG I'm aware of timings, but with the specs of the machine and ram availability it's just not a huge deal

Serbrus@Serbrus1976·7h

@umaoron @SYACVG Well it’s not that simple. There is a reason they sell them in pairs.

Steam machines will have 16GB of RAM, but due to supply issues, they will either have two sticks of 8GB each or a single 16GB stick. The former may have a negative impact on performance.

@terderrer Congratulations, thats what steam is encouraging

It just feels like it would be better to get a cheap gaming pc and just download steam on it

Thoughts on Steam Machine after price reveal? Are you still going to buy it, not going to anymore, or were you never going to?

@hellspatisserie Dude it's a computer, you can use what ever emulator you want, and yea it doesn't support kernal level anticheat but that's the devs responsibility and decision, not valves

Like, at this price point I’m asking questions about how restrictive the Steam architecture is going to be. Half of what I’d want to be playing is straight up not allowed on that platform. What about an emulation setup, will it let me do that?

𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎@hellspatisserie

For my part, gaming-wise a lot of what I would like to play are games that straight up don’t have official Steam support and may not be able to run, and once you cross the $1k barrier I start asking questions about actual productivity value

@MjTheHunter Never take it down, any gamer will download your demo then buy the game or not, if they HATE the game they don't hit you with a negative review

Gamedevs, at what point do you think its reasonable to remove your demo from your store?

@maki1300 @SmilodonnaVT You try telling that to his wife 😬 I agree it's niche, but alot of people will buy it because they want it

maki1300@maki1300·20h

@umaoron @SmilodonnaVT The noise and size do matter in some living room setup. Steam machine is a niche product for those niche use cases with niche pricing

wait people are actually defending the steam machine? what?? it's just an underpowered and overcosted PC, why would anyone go for this over an ACTUAL pc

@opinali @digitalfoundry The reason this happened is because steam got stiffed on ram also you WANT the single channel stick because when you have MORE money you can upgrade it to 32gb

Osvaldo Pinali Doederlein@opinali·1d

The detail about the Steam Machine configured with single-channel RAM, despite board supporting a second stick, is really the last straw. Amazing you'll pay up to $1.4K and they still do this last-minute cost-cutting move to further nerf that CPU/GPU. (Image from @digitalfoundry)

@afoxdesign No, that's not how valve roles

Andrew Fox@afoxdesign·1d

Couldn’t they have locked Steam Machine down to Steam access only and effectively made it a subsidised games console? How many people are really gonna use it for anything other than Steam 🤔

real question, is anything actually going to buy the steam machine? If you are, please say so and what your use case for the hardware is meant to be. If not, please tell me what aspects of the hardware lost your sale?

@Cernovich It's the same reason it's ILLEGAL to feed wild life in public parks, it gives them a population boom and creates a dependent population

My whole life we have been told, "Feed the African children, they are all starving to death," and yet somehow there are billions more since those Sally Struthers commercials. Something is not adding up.

@GnomeSongBotani As a guy who does CNC machining for a living... You never should need to turn your rotors, your brakes have deteriorated to a point where you probably don't have the mechanical competence to do such a thing

English

GnomeSongBotanicals@GnomeSongBotani·1d

x.com/TacticHall/sta… guy says he aint cut out for working on his own car because his 100$ brake job turned into 600$ then goes onto say he wasnt actually doing his brakes but attempting to turn his rotors on a cnc these are not the same thing

Matt@TacticHall

I've learned yet again that working on my own vehicles is a pointless endeavor. A 2-hour $100 brake job turned into an 8-hour $600 ordeal, and the brakes still aren't fixed. I ain't cut out for automotive work.
