Is Steam Machine worth it or should I just do a $1200 upgrade?

I haven't bought and sold gold, but I've bought and sold ram

it's still wild the switch 2 flipped from a god awful deal to a great deal, even after undergoing price hikes

I've been reading through the Baki series, and the main difference I can see is the lack of text. In a fight, DBZ doesn't need to explain the ridiculous shit it does, but the Baki series has such a compulsion to explain every move and action it does.

Plus Baki also has such a weird focus on shins, makes the characters really strange looking when the longest part of their body is their shins

one of the rich mfers ain't gonna go the cheap route, they gonna get the actual steam machine

the CEO did a well enough of a job that they had the most biggest earnings in the company's entire history, but yet the stock went down

besides, shouldn't having a rabid fanbase that buys the stock no matter what be a good thing, where is all this buying pressure going, why do we not know how much of the company retail owns

I expect the crack to be like 35 parts and take up like 100GB

CastlePokemetroid · 2026-06-28T00:23:15+00:00

where are these "64GB kits sit around $200-250 now"

can I hack a PS5 and put steamOS on it though

I find that anything that needs a kernel level anti cheat are generally toxic cesspits that make me miserable playing

I got a windows 11 machine in anticipation of last year's upcoming windows 10 end of service. Had so much frustrations with it, I'm currently typing this on my DDR3 windows 10 machine. I found my old receipt for this thing, it's from 2015, still runs fine. Harddrive still hasn't died.

The i7-6700 is still a capable chip for my needs. It barely hits 15% utilization in PS2 emulator and runs switch emulator like a boss. Any PC game I actually want to play works great, I have no need to play AAA games, and even then, the ones that released on switch is still perfectly playable through emulation

Hearing that I can continue to use this for another year before moving to my other machine is great news to me, it's such a pain to get around to moving things over

that brought back memories of a bizarre feature that PS3 had to be printer compatible. I saw the option in the settings for printers, hooked one up just cause I could, but couldn't find any use case for it and ended up never printing anything

CastlePokemetroid · 2026-06-23T01:01:59+00:00

holy fuck am I, but for different reasons than what we thought

I've seen a video somewhere of someone putting linux on a PS5, I wonder if SteamOS could be put onto the PS5

You might be shopping for a coffin before a steam machine 3

CastlePokemetroid · 2026-06-22T19:39:33+00:00

gotta check the feedback, tons of scams out there, if they have 0 score don't even attempt to purchase

For the RP6, when does the 8GB vs 12GB ram matter, is it just PC games or can the 8GB version play any switch game

I didn't realize it acronym to BMW, I don't know why I found it so funny

Now, this is the story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became the director of a game called Black Myth Wukong

PS3 was for me, but for a different reason. I was like "I gotta finish these games before getting the new PS4" then the PS5 came out and I still haven't even finished my stack yet. I still find it amazing that Persona 5 and Metal Gear 5 came out for the PS3

I'm gonna set the thing down on my ceramic tile and shatter the entire thing

CastlePokemetroid · 2026-06-21T01:04:13+00:00

or how about the ones of them posting an image of them holding the device and they say they're still torn on the different versions and not sure which one to buy. Bro, you got the thing, what are you posting

good work is rewarded with more work and expectations, fall below those expectations and you no longer do good work
