    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    I see that now. My brain for some reason skipped the third paragraph, I apologize. I do wish there were some regulations in place to make digital purchases a bit safer from delisting and bans. I think there are a few regulations in EU markets(I know the EU specifically allows players to...

    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    Any game that requires a download, even if you have physical media, is essentially the same thing as a digital download. A good chunk of new physical media releases on the Switch 1 and consoles dating back to the 360/PS3 era are like that. Eventually the company that owns the console will no...

    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    Will note that Steam OS out of the box supports the KDE discover application that allows you to install all sorts of Linux applications(though it is missing quite a few). You can also install distrobox on it and install/run applications from other distros. Heck, it can run Heroic Game...

    The Random Image Thread

    Reminds me why I'm so happy to not be working retail anymore. I still have to deal with annoying people, but without physical exhaustion.

    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    While the processor and GPU can't be upgraded, apparently the storage is just a bog-standard NVME drive and is user upgradable and the system ram is on standard sodimms. It's more upgradable than a mac mini at the very least. It would make a great home theater PC, if the price is right.

    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    I like the idea of physical games, but it's not deal breaker for me these days. It's rather simple to copy games on steam to backup media for archiving. Only tricky part is stripping the DRM out in case steam goes under or turns into a typical tech company.

    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    So Steam announced that they are bringing out a new Steam Machine, this time designed in-house. https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steammachine IF they can hit a decent price point I think they might actually be competitive in the console market this time, especially if Microsoft does try and...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Yarvinites WANT that to happen.... As long as they get to be the CEO lords anyway.

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    We'll see how effective enforcement of a vpn ban is.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Feel bad for their kids that they drug along with them. Uprooted them from their home, made them leave all their friends behind just because their parents were afraid of a few gay people.... How much you want to bet at least ONE of those kids is queer and is now stuck in a country that won't...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Yea, It's been a year since the 2024 elections and both of those names aren't really relevant to the current situation.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Tanks aren't driven by AI yet. They have to have crews for said tanks and maga is starting to piss off a lot of military personnel. There aren't enough loyalists to fuel the military machine.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Last night's election results give me hope. Probably STILL gonna be stuck with Andy Harris as my rep after the election next year, but still, looks like things are starting to swing in the right direction.

    AI don't trust techbros

    Even worse, he actively goes after people who point out issues with his products by sicking his followers on them and sending his lawyers out. Goes beyond just not caring, it's actively malicious.

    Misc. European politics

    Wonder how much the backlash against Trump worldwide affected the results. If so, there's a silver lining outside of the US at least.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    True. I'd imagine blocking the import of Teslas and banning X would be a step in the right direction at the very least.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Muskrat left out the important part. Should have read 'Civil war in Britain is inevitable because I'm spending part of my fortune to make it happen.' The UK should ban him from entering the country at this point. He's not a British subject and he sure is doing his best to interfere with the...

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    I'd say King Kong(1933) is at the very least proto-kaiju. It was once of the inspirations for the film. Yea, the creature in the Broderick film is a giant radioactive lizard and they call her Godzilla, but outside of that she doesn't feature many of the qualities that would classify her as...

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    The 1954 film was serious. It wasn't until the sequels that it started getting super cheesy. It was those later films(well, two of them anyway) that MST3K riffed. It was the OTHER Japanese kaiju series that MST3K really leaned into(Gamera). I wouldn't say it was their bread and butter...
