  • Steam Machine – Powerful Enough?

    Jump

  • Yeah I checked myself and Bazzite has an Nvidia version now. Installed it last night and it is working great. No Steam Machine needed it seems. The Frame does appeal to me still.

  • Steam Machine – Powerful Enough?

    Jump

  • Using 1440p, I've not had any major issues with 8GB. It has been a bottleneck that has forced me to turn some resolution/texture settings down though. Indiana Jones is an example that stands out for running poorly, but I'm not buying a new system for that game to run better.

    Jump

  • I'd argue it's also for people who want sleep and resume on a PC for that console experience. I have a 3070ti system, which is older and mid now but still smokes the steam machine, and I'll be "downgrading" to this because I consider quick resume an upgraded experience. Most games I play don't even need that power.

  • Nearly half of US kids want in-game currency this Christmas

  • Kids want to play what their friends/community are playing.

  • Thunderbird Adds Native Microsoft Exchange Email Support - The Thunderbird Blog

    Jump

  • I read the article and still a bit confused (I'm no email expert). Is the practical benefit of using EWS? I've got a Microsoft account email, but it has been working fine, I presumably set it up with IMAP/POP?

  • The Game Awards 2025 Nominees

    Jump

  • Looking at the sheer number of nominations e33 has gotten, I would be absolutely shocked if it didn't win game of the year.

    It's defined as "Recognizing a game that delivers the absolute best experience across all creative and technical fields."

    While that's pretty nebulous a definition on its own, the fact that seemingly every other creative and technical field has its own award category, and E33 is nominated for most of them, speaks to it being a shoe-in for the GOTY category.

  • Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs

    Jump

  • I'm not disagreeing. Epic's 12% would still be hugely profitable for Valve.

  • True that text is small files, but some Skyrim saves are easily in the dozens of MB for example. I'm sure you multiply that by millions and it adds up. Surely them needing to store many copies of the game files themselves is a larger file size footprint for them though.

  • Lol yep they're an extremely wealthy company with that 30%. But it seems like almost every other storefront operates under those margins for digital sales (not just in gaming). I do value the cloud saves, I think those would actually add up a bit for their storage requirements as well as hosting all of the game files in presumably many locations globally.

    15%, they'd still be a multibillion dollar company

  • Well, I agree that the writing is really good. But the gameplay hook is what really makes it a great game tome.

    Jump

  • I suppose so, but maybe they don't want to grow too large. Microsoft absolutely devouring studios the last few years has not produced any truly great games. Valve clearly know how to make a good game still, when they want to.

    Jump

  • I agree mostly, but Valve employees are reportedly paid an incredible amount of money compared to the market average, so underpaying would probably only refer to the hefty (but industry standard) 30% cut of game sales they take from game publishers.

  • Also, I'm pretty sure Portal 1 was in development by a studio that was bought by valve when they saw the game prototype. Not exactly "Gabe Newell making Portal". Though I do think that was a savvy investment (Portal 2 being the better game also).

  • Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

    Jump

  • I see what you mean, but this device is a little overtuned for an office PC, at least GPU wise.

  • What's your comfort movie?

    Jump

  • Howl's Moving Castle, but really any Hayao Myazaki film.

  • Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console

    Jump

  • As an NVIDIA user, I would love an AMD system that supports quick resume like the steam deck. To me, that's the killer feature that Valve has nailed with SteamOS. Raw performance isn't a priority for me given AAA games have been shit compared to Indies the last few years.

  • People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?

    Jump

  • If that feels fine for you then more power to you. I'm just saying why I don't personally wear headphones in public.

    Jump

  • It depends how much exposure to Tech you have and whether taking a break is important for you. For most people the exposure to constant stimulus is too much.

    Phones and technology have essentially eliminated boredom from our lives, and I don't think that's a good thing.

    Jump

  • Just birds chirping, wind blowing, leaves rustling, all as I walked the same path I walk all the time<

    This would be one why I don't wear headphones outside. Hearing the natural ambience of a space is rewarding.

    The other personal reason is that I'm in front of a screen about 12 hours a day and crave those few hours of respite from being hooked up to technology.
