Equivalent doesn’t mean much when it’s not a standard, upgradable PC. This device competes with consoles, not desktop PCs, and needs to be in that price bracket, as the equivalence is not on the hardware or performance, but just “can it play current-gen games?”

Fair pricing means a reasonable profit on the base cost. Trying to gauge what people are willing to pay means that you want to maximise your profit at all costs, consumers be damned.

I understand that’s what Americans consider “fair”, but I don’t fully agree.

They’re letting us discuss this ad nauseam just to understand what prices people consider acceptable for these devices

My Shepard was celibate, can’t waste time on romance when you’ve got:

• A galaxy to save
• Garrus’ calibrations to review

I mean, isn’t that part of the point? Decentralization to smaller systems

I also self host, but I can’t claim to have better uptime than Cloudflare

Maybe it’s regional

And then Microsoft or Sony would bulk buy 10k steam machines to use in their server rooms

They’d need 10k steam accounts tho

I thought you meant attachments

Windows upgrades sound like a nightmare anyway, no way I’d trust an upgraded installation. Fresh install or nothing.

(I don’t think it works for audio/video?)

it does

I want them all, but mostly the Frame. Finally decent Linux VR? On a standalone device that can also stream from a PC? On ARM?! It seems too good to be true.

You always could, but they don’t get to take credit for that

And explaining actions in text is much more difficult than just showing them

which came out in '97

unlike many printed guides, gamefaqs guides came out some time after game release, because average people didn’t have preview versions of the game to play

OpenAI is a non-profit

In the past, before Proton, if a game was available at comparable prices on GOG and on Steam, I’d buy it on GOG, also because no DRM meant better compatibility. After Proton, my purchases from GOG went way down.

C’est frainçaise

It’s 3. 3 was good.

From the video it looks like they’ll test on Bazzite, it’s probably more stable than Windows for that, just choose a snapshot and it’ll always be the same

Roger Wilco!

Why don’t you guys make signatures to improve the life of homeless people? Stop putting ads everywhere?

Let me guess, you’re from the USA

If they want money for game preservation, they should spin-off that initiative in a non-profit.

Hilarious

Well if he’s the one who decided for epic exclusivity, yeah, otherwise no

No no please there’s a chance it’ll kill EA, don’t stop them

Idk friend, for something like that I’d ask an expert. Like ChatGPT.

I mean it’s got air in the name so it’s gotta be all right

I advise against inhaling your phone

I’ve bought Sony devices for years, but nowadays the cheap ones are shit and the good ones are way too expensive

I like to tinker more than they allow.

I keep reading this, but it’s never clear what people mean. I still haven’t found anything I’m not allowed to tinker with, it’s just done differently.

It’s also got a badass soundtrack

I haven’t played it in years, but I have fond memories of FreeSpace 2 and its open source community version. A quick search turned this up.

Yeah, again, my opinion may be influenced by my age, once upon a time computer users were, on average, skilled enough to do simple stuff in PS.

No need to convince me, I quit using Adobe before they even introduced Creative Cloud.

I’m just explaining what I see.

It may be me being a millenial, but I’m used to Photoshop being widely pirated. It used to be Adobe’s strategy to let people do that because that meant more people who knew how to use it and therefore more business sales.

I went from Nobara to Bazzite, Nobara worked but felt super janky, Bazzite is on another planet in terms of polish.

Lol, CAD on Linux at 90% of what is available on Windows? That’s straight out dishonest.

Your statement doesn’t contradict OP’s

Well, Adobe is not “household” software. :-)

it is when everyone pirates it
