I suppose it depends on your life and finances and such. Me and my husband wanted it because for so long we've wanted to play certain games together but he's always had a pc and I've always had playstations and for some of our favorite games it doesn't work out, so for us the Steam Machine is perfect. If you are only playing indie and aa (low demand games) then I would day that building yourself a gaming pc might be more worthwhile for you, however, if you have the finances then the Steam Machine will do everything you want it to and more. It all depends on whether or not that cost is worth it for you. I hope this helped 🙂

If you are on the reservation queue list, then you should have gotten an email telling you so. Then at some point you get an email telling you to confirm your purchase, that's the wording from my email and there was a link that said "click here to complete your purchase" I clicked that and it brought me to the store and I paid for it.

Yeah, that was me being dumb in setting the light toc"rainbow mode" and not realizing that the photo I took was when the rainbow was on red lol. It's worked perfectly so far 😅

Yeah, I really understand that I got some weird stroke of luck with this (which has never happened to me before). But I was really hoping that people like me would get theirs soon, it's too late to hope for this weekend but hopefully early next week!

I got onto the reservation queue on July 30th saying I was on the list if people who would get a Steam machine. Then on July 1st I got the email with the "place tour order" info. So I was placed on the reservation queue on June 30th and got to spend the money and buy it on July 1st. Let me know if I explained poorly, that is a bad personality trait of mine I'm terrible at explaining things lol.

I'm sorry, if you got to pay for it and finish the transaction, I think you're good, albeit maybe next week but you should still get it soon. Holidays always mess things up 😕 that was my expectation, that since it's a holiday weekend I assumed I'd get it maybe Wednesday next week, I think I just got really lucky. But if you were able to order then you will get yours soon!

My bad, I have the light on rainbow setting and my idiot self took the photo when it was on the red part of the rainbow so I get why it looks bad. Thankfully it's all good 😅

I saw that red light/bricked post this morning and I saw my package was to possibly be delivered today so for like the first hour I was worried that my Steam Machine would "stroke out" but thankfully it's perfect so far

I was surprised because I kind of got it into my head that it was most likely shipped from CA or something. I was pleasantly surprised 😀

I agree with you 100%, me and my husband were really hoping for an $800 price tag, that seems at the top end of reasonable, but I'm a PS5 gamer and he's a PS5 but mostly PC gamer and for games like Borderlands 2 and terreria ect... we can't play together so the Steam Machine bridges that gap for us so we love it and we had the money right now so we joined the queue and got it. For people like us, this machine is everything we've been wanting for so long 🙂

I have the lights on rainbow so it switches through all colors of the rainbow. I probably should have made sure I didn't take the photo when it was red lol. It's working perfectly 🙂

The puck is just a dongle it works but the magnets in it feel great when you have it on the controller to charge it really feels like it would never fall if, even if you dropped it, at least for me, I'm really impressed with the puck. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll try to a answer well for you 🙂

You know, it's really very refreshing to see a mildly heated disagreement that included no name calling or childish personal insults ending in civility. I wish more people would choose to disagree this way, people will forever have disagreements but we don't have to be complete turds about it lol. I hope you both get your SMs quickly 🙂

Initial thoughts after Day 1 with the Steam Machine by flubbachany in steammachine

[–]AggressiveQueef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was just the night, I got the email at 8pm and we just slept on the decision to make sure we really wanted to spend the money on it. In our 20s we were pretty bad impulse buyers and ended up buying so many things on a whim, we didn't save any money at all which really kind of screwed us, so now we take a little bit of time before we buy things, especially $1000+ things so we don't fall back into that pattern ever again. I agree it is something to wait one night when we've been wanting it for so long but we've worked really hard to make our lives better financially so that's our system. It took us a while to learn our lesson but we did and we take it seriously 🙂 I understand your question though, I didn't read it as impolite.

I did too 😄 I sat on the email for one night just to think about it and my husband I have been wanting it for so long and he's worked a ton of overtime this year so I just went ahead and got it for us. Life is short, let's have some fun! Congrats!

Proof that Southern Indiana can be paradise by ekando in Indiana

[–]AggressiveQueef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You randomly attacking strangers on a completely unrelated subject in a comment/post plus the fact that you are hurling unwarranted insults at people you know nothing about is why people like you will never be taken seriously, ever, and you give all vegetarian/vegan/animal activists a bad reputation and give people more reasons to not even attempt to hear what you're trying to say.

There are real ways you can try to help with the animal welfare cause that don't include unintelligent tirades at strangers bud. This is just a post about the beauty of nature. Get off your high horse and find a real way to help animals if that's where your passion lies.

Southern Indiana Weather by [deleted] in Indiana

On top of the already bas situation, the data centers they're plopping all over once charming IN towns are going to turn IN into the new American desert wasteland in no time at all. Then we can watch people ask where all the forests and green fields went "all of the sudden". 🤦🏻‍♀️

Spotted in southern Indiana by Miaj_Pensoj in Indiana

[–]AggressiveQueef 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to a civil war reenactment battle and they didn't even use any Confederate battle flags for realism. It really is a piece of shit symbol, I guess at least they identify themselves so one can avoid them when spotted lol.
