I assume it's going to be underwhelming without 1st party support from NV
glad they've finally released the linux .iso though
@ dan.k.meme
@RIBA hey there is a feet modeling software for your feet porn gooning addiction
its on sale apparently
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
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
people usually hold onto old TVs ofc
so there's going to be a lot of older TVs that are reused in an extra room
I am the 8%
lets go
I thought you had a Roku TV Pika
Yeah its not 4k
I'm surprised, I figured if you had a Roku one it would probably be 4K
I looked it up, apparently I am just retarded and it is 4k
RTRU4328-C here is my exact model
I am only displaying 1080p on it because my computer does not give me the option for higher
that is why I was confused
I realize reading it back, I sounded a bit like a dick
but cool, now you know if you hook your Switch 2 up to it you'll get that sweet sweet 4K mario ass
Replying to Polar_ #polar_ Have TVs invented a new gimmick yet or is it still just the Smart era
we're lucky that the 8k meme died
I mean, my switch 2 is hooked up to it!
and kirby does look good
Also, I looked it up, you can still apparently buy 1080P TVs, but the absolute largest one they make anymore is 40''
and I sorta get that, if you want a small TV for your kitchen/bathroom, it doesn't really benefit from the extra pixels
Who the fuck has a kitchen tv
we had one, mom would watch the food network while cooking
it was this retro 90s projection 12'' TV
interesting. I just walk away from my kitchen to stare at my actual tv/computer
since cooking does not require you to baby sit it every single second
I feel like if you really wanted, you could also just have you TV visible from your kitchen
since its all open
I did have it that way
then I reorganized my entire apartment because I thought it would look nicer since I was going to have company over (and also it made running my ethernet cable 15% easier than where my PC used to be)
@heir this was all your fault
unironically
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 we're lucky that the 8k meme died
You'd need a huge tv to even see a difference
Also used to be able to see my TV while shitting in my old setup
now I cannot
so it was both a bathroom and kitchen tv
Honestly
funny idea

there's a mina secret ending that players found pretty quickly, and the devs officially explain how to get it here
https://www.yachtclubgames.com/blog/mina-the-hollower-ending/
Replying to taxes #tzfi but its got a good concept to it
Rust with mecha spiders is a cool spin
It actually lokks like it runs decently too
