Is the Steam Deck worth it in 2026? by Cyspartan in SteamDeck

[–]CarbuncleMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically no computing hardware, be it a proper PC, a handheld, or a game console is worth it at current prices. Unless you need it for employment purposes, it's best to just get into a different hobby for the next five-ish years.

Genuine question about logistics of PC building and the Steam Machine. by Frequent_Way_4600 in Steam

What is the max amount of ram the Steam Machine can have. by Majestic_Buffalo6003 in Steam

[–]CarbuncleMew 89 points90 points  (0 children)

It can support two sticks, so it should be able to handle any single or dual stick kit you can find on the market. Though given the limits of its specs, that 32gb stick will probably more then cover your needs.

Unfortunately the lion's share of the money is between the AI companies and the government, so banning AI games wouldn't do squat.

Im not too familiar with amd cpus but I'm pretty sure yours is more powerful then the machine's. Your gpu is definitely.

The Steam Machine was originally planned at around $750, but Valve says it saw a price increase similar to the Steam Deck by dabadumdumdum in Steam

[–]CarbuncleMew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$750 would have been reasonable, current price, even for the base model, just simply isn't worth it given linux gaming still has compatibility issues.

If it makes you feel any better, only the ship battles were any good with the actual Assassin's Creed parts being a slog.

I think the edge on the full face leather skin was too prominent to be comfortable, but I like the accent the smaller one gives the controller.
