  • Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’

    Jump

  • They could have an initial period where they lock it to one Steam Machine per active Steam account with a history of game purchases on it like I recall them doing with the Steam Deck in the early days, or as Nintendo did with their accounts for Switch 2 preorders.

  • I just saw the optical disk version of the PS5 on sale for the equivalent of ~US$380 at a nearby store. Presumably the digital-only version is even less. The Steam Machine has a slightly shittier GPU but is going to cost 2-3x the price, isn’t it? Why bother with the fucking thing if that’s the case.

  • Not the magician!

    Jump

  • Yeah, he’s a strong contender. Or it could be one of the Shopify guys, I’ve heard they’re also weirdos and would have the tech investment angle on Epstein.

  • Whoever introduced standpoint theory to liberals is the most successful anti communist force ever

    Jump

  • Just sectionalism then.

  • GTAIV had a Linux parody called Eunux

    Jump

  • They could have reused their environments just like Sega does with Yakuza/Like a Dragon/Judgment and made about 20 games since GTA IV instead of just 2 or 3.

  • Conservatives report higher happiness levels and self-reported mental health than liberals. No data charted for Hexbears

    Jump

  • What the fuck is that chart even supposed to be saying it looks like shit and it represents fuck all it’s giving me a headache just looking at it

  • what the fuck is wrong with prices of memory

    Jump

  • Probably, yes. We will see how it turns out performance wise in the end - given the large cooler the Steam Machine might be designed to run all of the parts quite hot. However the lack of VRAM in the Steam Machine will probably end up harming it a lot, just like with the Xbox Series S for a lot of games.

    There has been some developer optimization for the Steam Deck, but that has been extremely sporadic and is nothing in comparison to the kind of optimization done for the PlayStation. The Steam Machine would likely be the same.

    The various online writers who have breathlessly said that this thing will be as good as a PS5 Pro are delusional.

    Jump

  • Even then, since the Steam Machine will perform in some ways better and some ways worse than the PS5 (according to Digital Foundry at least), US$650 would be quite expensive in comparison to the competition.

  • I'm making a script to 'comicify' a batch of images (examples inside)

    Jump

  • Yeah, LLMs and generative AI are extremely problematic for lots of reasons, but critical support for DeepSeek. It does actually address many of those issues and perhaps most importantly shows the folly of the western approach to AI.

    Jump

  • Yes I do know, thank you. Note how I said “a few clicks”. Image batch processing is not something that has needed to be hand coded for a long time.

    Jump

  • You could automate this sort of thing with just a few clicks in a ~30-year old copy of photoshop using less computer power than a modern dishwasher cycle. Maybe vibe coding a script with an LLM wasn’t necessary.

    I don’t mean to be rude to anyone personally, but I feel that generative AI usage should generally be frowned upon.

  • "Another rigged year:" Former FPS pro Shroud responds to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 getting a Game Awards GOTY nomination over Arc Raiders, says "the world is just not ready for AI in video games"

    Jump

  • The ghosts in Pac-Man were actually piloted by tiny leprechauns trapped in the arcade cabinet by a witch’s spell. If you beat a secret level they get set free, but in return the player is imprisoned to replace them.

  • Good news people!

    Jump

  • Locked

    i am once again calling for the summary execution of anyone who listens to their phone without headphones on public transit

    Jump

  • The most popular and most heavily marketed ones do. Either way, sixty bucks is still a lot and those cheapo ones are still way more expensive than a free pack-in.

    Jump

  • It used to be less of a problem because phones used to come with headphone jacks and free pack-in headphones, and replacements were very cheap. It’s been long enough now that everyone has replaced their old phone with a new one that doesn’t have any of that and now phone manufacturers want everyone to spend several hundred dollars on wireless headphones. The result is more speakerphone music in public.

  • westerners dissatified with the way democracy is working in their country

  • No no, the gun country with flag pledges and hand on heart shit is the USA

  • Welcome to Target, I love you

    Jump

  • There’s an exploit where if you enter the aggro zone of a target worker from behind where they can’t see you to smile or wave they will go into a T-pose and float towards you, dropping whatever loot they were carrying to the shelves beforehand.

  • I always imagine the USA as the Fourth Reich

    Imagine if Americans displayed the Fourth Reich flag and dressed up as marines and ice agents at parades and football games.

    This is exactly how I see Americans who proudly wear the stars and stripes and wave the USA flag.

  • Shenzhen is the global capital for digital tech. SF has nothing aside from a collection of digital landlords.
