    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    It’s here and it’s pretty good. No CEC, no sleep mode (and therefore no controller wake-up), pretty noisy compared to deck or SM, but also pretty performant

    7.61 PS5 or actual PC for $500?

    There’s also the BC250 if you’re into DIY.

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    I made my decisions: BC250 en route. I might see about some kind of HDMI CEC dongle, but I already have a steam controller. It’s coming with bazzite already installed so first things first I’ll need to enable the extra CUs and tweak the OC. If this plays E33 at 1440p without being ugly af I’ll...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    I’m definitely at a point where I need something to upgrade from the Deck. There are enough games I want to play that don’t run well enough for my tastes. I have a case, PSU, and SSD already. I can get a mobo, 7500x3d, 16GB of RAM, and a 9060xt for $800. A bc250 ends up being like $500 when...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    I’m pretty torn. A “real” PC will 100% be more powerful but will also draw far more power (this is more a problem for the adults than the students or people who don’t pay their own power bill), it will be far noisier and larger even with mITX and noctua. That same $1050 goes a lot further...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    I’ll probably get the base model and throw a 4TB that I already own in it. It’s about $200-$300 more expensive than I want but a DIY equivalent build in this market is within about $100 and won’t include HDMI CEC or be small enough for a TV stand. Not to mention things like driver support and...

    Homebrew PCSX ReARMed compatibility list

    Adding frameskip can hardly be considered playable but the compat list is old/outdated/incomplete/bad. I’ll try WA1 later but I’m willing to bet it runs fine with the tweaks Using the PCSX RA core (not the forwarder) I get 60fps locked with good audio in WA1. And WA2 boots no problem. Mostly...

    Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa explains Switch 2 price increases in recent Financial Results Briefing

    if that’s how they thought then we would never see a purple_bandit post again.

    Star Fox 64 remake for the Switch 2 announced in surprise Nintendo Direct

    Nintendo has struggled to make a good starfox since 64. It being basically the perfect starfox experience I think it makes the most sense to revitalize the franchise. If this sells well they can get experimental again.

    The COVID-19 vaccine in retrospect

    I’d say I wish most of this thread got long covid, but I’m starting to think that’s why they say such stupid shit in the first place.

    Give-away A controller for your thoughts - win a free controller!

    1. Mina the Hollower 2. Final Fantasy IV - Free Enterprise 3. I”m really interested in the Steam Frame and all this FeX X86-ARM translation stuff.

    "Star Fox 64" unofficial port to the Dreamcast has been released

    Seek a psychiatrist. You’ve had multiple mods tell you to stop. Your special interest may be the SEGA Saturn but until you’re willing to boot up an IDE and get your hands dirty you’re only spouting fanboyisms

    Nintendo surprise drops a new GameCube title onto the Switch Online library

    Hilarious levels of copium ITT

    Greta Thunberg banned from Venice for dying Canals green

    ITT: conservative pearl clutching because a protest was widely and publicly visible. Get fucked.

    What 3DS version should I buy?

    Any N3DS for the beefier emulation. N2DSXL don’t feel great but come in a lot of styles and can be had cheaper than n3DS/XL. I prefer the smaller one with faceplates though
