Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open

i still added myself to the raffle queue. even thou the price is steep, I still see it as an option in the diy PC building landscape. it's a PC, free from the console ecosystem, I can install any os I want, games from my gog library, emulate freely, all in a tiny quiet box.

i think this price is not what they intended, and in the bigger picture valve is tiny compared to console manufacturers, they can't get deals in hardware like they can.

I also think valve could sell as option a version with no storage and memory, lower price, it would fit the diy/options community like a glove

Deus Ex lead says games are now “more Excel than passion-driven” as modern publishers “don’t have the same DNA” as before

The indie games scene is bursting with original games full of quirky ideas, mechanics and fun.

The AAA industry for years is focused in investors dictating what should and shouldn't be developed based on monetary profit. Couple that with them trying to replicate mobile predatory practises and movies, we get today's landscape. Games taking a long time to be developed, teams/studios of thousands, falling into the acquisition trap, uncooked games releases with promises of day one patches.

Layoffs were inevitable, and from the ashes the sentiment that Deus ex author miss will return

What apps do you use to listen music at work/on phone?

I ditched qobuz last week because they kept pushing hard for Brazilian music, which I don't listen to really, in from Portugal and mainly listen to hip hop, jazz, soul and r&b. So in a couple hours I got a new setup with Navidrome, soulseek, symphonium on my phone, feishin on my desktops, listenbrainz for playlists recommendation, audiomuse, very happy

well as a black man I say Dave is weaponizing being black. he's trying hard to deflect the Saudi money and avoiding responsibility for the trans jokes. If he made one show, just one where he would express being sorry for the enablement of aggression he provided, sure i would look at him at a different light. claiming that people are being hard on him for being black, kneega please
