  • Valve engineer says Steam Machine performance beats 70% of PCs, and can play all games

    Jump

  • I mean a big difference there is that the switch can only play games that run on it. There are going to be games that don't run on the steam machine (or at least we'll), just as there aren't games that run on the steamdeck.

    I think it will still do well, but that's a big difference between the switches approach to low power vs the steam machine.

  • Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

    Jump

  • Valve didn't make Fex, and while it's a compatibility layer, that doesn't mean it runs everything.

    Just look at Proton and you can see after years (and focusing exclusively on games) it's still not near 100%.

  • What's a non-traditional candle scent you would like?

    Jump

  • Bakery/the smell bread makes while it's rising.

  • Major cities around the world

    Jump

  • Yeah, I know that can be an issue with comparing across countries. I know in the US we tend to count the surroundomg suburbs in these metrics, while that is less common elsewhere.

  • The Right Is Now Transvestigating Charlie Kirk and His Wife, Erika

    Jump

  • Ah, she must have also seen Bend Her - the Futurama episode where bender changes genders to win at the Olympics (and subsequently woos calculon).

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • Yeah, it was. So it had more features than most controllers at the time and I think was still cheaper.

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • The original steam controller was $50, I would hope they'd be able to keep it under $100.

    Not to mention a steamdeck is $400, and that's got a lot more going on than just a controller.

  • Red Dead Redemption Coming to Netflix, iOS, Android, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm surprised the original commentor is getting downvoted. This console generation has been terrible, PC is doing better, but really only due to smaller indie games.

  • Red Dead Redemption Coming to Netflix, iOS, Android, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2

    Jump

  • I think you get access to mobile games through your Netflix subscription. I know they released some games that were only playable on android through them.

  • Reddit mod jailed for sharing movie sex scenes in rare “moral rights” verdict

    Jump

  • The qoute says the "authors", so this law is not exclusively tied to actors, but generally works of art and the people involved in creating it. Thats why I called out things like remakes.

    And while you are right that in many of my examples there would probably be contracts to avoid these issues, my point was to show how easy it is to break this law (and that copyright owners do it all the time themselves).

    Also, fair use for parodies is not a thing in all countries - not sure if it is in Denmark.

  • China’s Belt and Road Initiative Sinks into $1 Trillion Debt Trap as Its Aid Diplomacy Reaches Limits

    Jump

  • That only works up to a point before nations push back. Additionally it assumes there is value in those assets. If there really is a train that stops in the middle of nowhere, you're probably never recouping those costs.

  • Reddit mod jailed for sharing movie sex scenes in rare “moral rights” verdict

    Jump

  • Yeah, it also seems weird cause things like remakes, parodies, trailers, etc. all would technically violate that law.

  • Why Trump's 50 Year Mortgage Scheme Is an Even Worse Idea Than You Imagined

    Jump

  • They make it sound like lenders game the system to make the fixed rate loans not super beneficial (refinance costs/etc.). I have no idea how true that is, but even if it is, having a fixed amount you owe each month is so much easier for the everyday person.

    I can't imagine having a variable rate loan and then finding out due to the Fed raising rates that I know owe another couple hundred per month.

  • The True Cost of China’s Falling Prices

    Jump

  • Deflation can be really damaging because it disincentivizes things like investments and longterm projects. Here are a couple of examples:

    • One of the biggest issues with mortgages is if you are under water (can you pay off your debt if you sell the house). With deflation, you could buy a house today and owe more than the house is worth tomorrow.
    • If the total cost to manufacture a car is $X, but by the time I can sell the car the market would only pay $X-50, then I'm actually better off not making the car.

    Essentially, high deflationary pressure causes people to hold their money and not spend it. It's what happened in Japan around 1990s-2010s resulting in basically negative growth in their economy - Source

    Hyper inflation is a similar issue, but on the other end. The value of money is lost so quickly that things like life savings can become worthless due to money losing its value so rapidly.

  • Just want to not feel like I'm running on fumes

    Jump

  • It's a common trope to joke about the use/misuse of the Oxford comma - Examples .

    So the responder is extending the joke to make it the Oxford "coma". Since the original person was asking for a long sleep in between life and death, a coma sorta fits their description.

  • Just want to not feel like I'm running on fumes

    Jump

  • It says Oxford Coma. So it's coma (someone who can't be woken up) vs comma (punctuation).

    It took me way to long to notice the missing m.

  • Social Security employees grill management during tense shutdown meeting

    Jump

  • I mean, you don't get paid everyday, missed paydays are the metric of pain people are feeling.

  • Shots fired at Border Patrol agents on Chicago's West Side, DHS says

    Jump

  • Surprisingly, actually two different agencies. You have CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) which do - customs and border patrol, and ICE (Migration and customs enforcement) which do - mostly immigration stuff.

  • What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?

    Jump

  • I absolutely agree with you, I got to a point where I had solved the "main" puzzle, but was struggling to complete other puzzles (that I knew the solution to) simply due to room draws.

    I wanted to love the game, but it held itself back on the RNG design. It can be so detrimental to the game that I wouldn't recommend it to most people.
