    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    Not directly Steam Box related, but Valve has also contributed heavily to the FEX project to allow them to run x86 windows games on ARM powered Linux devices. They did so so that a good chunk of the Steam library will run on their new Steam Frame VR headset. I could see a Steam Machine 2...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Probably pretty cheap for them, to be honest. The company already produces dummy security cameras so they likely had the molds and someone in marketing came up with an alternate use of it and they ran with it.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Given their other products, I'm pretty sure it's either the former or a product meant as an ironic joke.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Not talking about those, I'm talking about the novelty gift boxes you can buy that have some fictional product printed on the outside, kind of like this:

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Looks like one of those joke present boxes. At least that's what I HOPE it is.

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    Noticed today that my waist is shrinking!!! The fact that almost all of my body fat hangs around my midsection has been a major source of dysphoria for me and seeing that reduce is GREAT!!!

    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    Yup, it uses flathub as its back end. You can also install distrobox on SteamOS, which can be used to install containerized packages from other major distros, though I haven't really messed with that. Between Microsoft turning Windows into a massive surveillance system and Apple telling people...

    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    You can't The EU says it's allowed, but they stopped short of requiring the storefronts to implement a system to actually do so. Which is why I said the ruling is kind of moot. Essentially your legally allowed to transfer the licence(heck, not just transfer it, but to resell it) but no...

    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...

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

    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...

    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.
