games

screaming frog SE is my favourite item on this list

is this from Touhoufest?

that was like this weekend

yeah, I saw it on my TL

Touhou apparently lives on in 2026

That's within driving distance of me and I briefly considered going before I realized I don't think I want to associate with Touhou fans

Sorry, you must be Filipino or own 3 fumos to be allowed in

darn I only have 2 fumos

Me going to this just to try to talk about touhou 1 with as many people as possible

and then saying I do not like the other games

I can almost guarantee you none of these people have played Touhou 1. Let alone ANY Touhou game.

^

that 2nd part esp

Nice, I would have objectively been the biggest actual touhou fan there

with 1 game completed (not 1cc'd) and 1 game dropped

When people ask me what my favorite Touhou character is, I can say YuugenMagan

That is the boss I suck the most at

Is that the TH1 song that you really like?

His theme is The Positive and the Negative I think? It's not my favorite. I like the final boss of Makai's theme, which is called Now, Until the Moment You Die.

I lost 200$

Bomberman slots sucked

Overall -3100

Not terrible

That's higher than the leak by a lot

Yea idk where our poll was when we tried to gauge the price

But its far more expensive, idk how you'll convince someone who doesnt already have steam to go in on something thats 2X the price of a base Ps5

"Think of the savings in the future!" Is not a great motivator for a lot of people id imagine lol

If games were maybe designed with the Steam console in mind maybe id see that as a point. I know a good amount of my non-PC friends like console because they know if they buy a game it'll just work

The price leaks were 799 for base 512MB and 1049 for 2TB

Oh

I feel like the steam deck is a better value

I still think there were some ways they could have structured it with Steam account funds, to make it more reasonable

Yeah if it was that but you got 250 dollars added to your steam account (that you have to spend with them)

I think that'd be a decent deal

But I get them not wanting to subsidize these and lose $1B on-launch, by just eating the price differences

I also think the value prop of a Steam Machine Lite, that is maybe 200-300 which is just a streaming stick tier device

Would make sense

If reggie somehow finds an exploit and gets 100 of them for pennies on the dollar, I'll take one Kappaa

well i guess if you have an extra pc laying around thats nice, you could always just do big picture mode but w/e

I am curious about steam OS

I know it is just a linux fork, but I trust valve to not be as retarded as most linux maintainers

only AMD bothers to release/support consumer drivers on Linux rn

and there's a big change underway since the x11 to Wayland conversion is happening upstream

I'm surprised they're going for Nvidia

I come back to this video every once in a while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYWzMvlj2RQ

I assume it's going to be underwhelming without 1st party support from NV

glad they've finally released the linux .iso though

bigger news

@ dan.k.meme

At me for real coward

@RIBA hey there is a feet modeling software for your feet porn gooning addiction

its on sale apparently

Thanks

See if you didn’t tag me I would not have known

Not tagging you was a strategic move, forcing you to search out the things you truly desire

you could almost say, forcing him to stand on his own 2 feet

You know, we never considered this during our many debates on the topic, but loosing an arm over a leg makes sense if you are a disgusting vile foot fetishist

so +1 points for my team I guess

that is quite the price tag

Valve apparently told IGN (and Spooky's favourite Canadian tech channel) that the original price was upped by about the same ratio as the steam deck price hike, which if you backwards math is about 750 for the base model (matching the rumoured price)

The twitter discourse about the gabecube is funny though

I think people are bad at articulating the core issue: The performance level of the Steam Cube is not good enough for TV gaming (4K)

How is it for 1080

TVs aren't 1080p

is the issue

My TV is not 4k, I know that

Considered as a standalone PC, the price is actually in-line with the hardware cost, but the price is not reasonable for the target experience you'd want to have. It's in the no-mans-land of computer hardware.

For 1080p it's *fine*, but there's a reason even the Switch 2 focuses on 4K output now

imo the secondary function of it as a Streaming box/media PC with Steam-specific features has a value proposition of ~$300, and then there's the added value of the community around it and it being something you can tinker with

this was always sorta the rub, even when they announced it

it was going to be underpowered, but you can sorta justify it as a low-end console that you intend to use for other things too

I think a higher end cube would make more sense, that's slightly larger and actually has a modern performance baseline or the lower end cube I suggested before, that's for local streaming and to just run the OS

also, the last datapoint I can find was from 2022, that 92% of TVs sold were 4K or above and that 80% of households had at least one 4K TV at that point

pretty sure my family's TV is not 4K

people usually hold onto old TVs ofc
