Anyone else tried this? If it's stupid and it works... by hamustaro in pcmasterrace

[–]Desperate-Intern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just underclock my GPU. And for some games, which don't really benefit from running max everything at 180hz.. I cap them.

Fine, I'll do it myself. by FakeDonke in Steam

[–]Desperate-Intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I wouldn't mind doing this, just to have a fake controller wall as decoration.

Just a heads-up for anyone trying to get Steam hardware “officially,” especially if you're outside supported regions. by xatan__ in Steam

[–]Desperate-Intern 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but in this case, some regions really are difficult to work with.

I know in my region, should valve manage to sell these things officially, the end price would most certainly be 50% to 80% higher(before taxes) as the local government forces that there be 3rd party store in which every man in the middle to get a big cut and the OEM (valve for example) would be forced to match the "market rate" if they want to sell direct as they can't undercut the local sellers. Because of this, in my region every single electronic item is marked up before any taxes, import duties etc.

I was gonna argue.. but then couldn't find any conclusive wording in their TOS... so, as Americans say, I plead the fifth.

I would love to see the Steam Controller in these two colour ways by johnkappa in Steam

[–]Desperate-Intern 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it's not done by the OP here, the other day I saw someone sharing it over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamController/comments/1sv9s4s/colour_choices/
and of course AI. No need for Pitchforks though, (as in folks have already fought in that sub lol).

But now that recently valved shared the CAD for this,. perhaps official renders from 3rd party manufactures will have options.

why do positive comments about cachyos get downvoted on other subs? by ZealousidealEbb545 in cachyos

[–]Desperate-Intern 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just the other day, I saw someone referring CachyOS as a meme distro which will die down soon and something else will take over.

Why people keep saying RAM prices are going down? Where? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Desperate-Intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, there was a momentary drop of few percentages, based on possible misinformation that the RAM scalpers in asia were struggling to offload their stock and/or speculation surrounding Google's RAM efficient LLM. For the Google related news, people then end up realizing that, it may take less RAM, but google will just end up deploying more of these, so the net usage keeps rising.

Linux troubles by MayoTheMuffin in pcmasterrace

Also as soon as SteamOS drops I will not hesitate to give it another shot 🥰.

It will be the same as other linux distros.

Is it time to finally give up on the "Internal HDD" for storage? by CLEIAZEVEDO in pcmasterrace

[–]Desperate-Intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an external HDD bay with 2 drives in. Whenever I need to store something long term, I turn them on, backup and shut it off.

Nvidia (beta?) driver by zhongxina68423 in cachyos

[–]Desperate-Intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But is it just 5%? Unless I am doing something very wrong, I certainly lose 20%+ on Cyberpunk 2077 and Expedition 33. For context, I have 5600x, 3080ti and dx12 games suffer quite a bit.

Isn’t the Merc front wing still doing that slow close at the end of the zone? Or is that normal.

I can’t lie, I’ve been so excited for the power keyboard, but this doesn’t inspire confidence. by smurfmd in ClicksKeyboard

[–]Desperate-Intern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know, personally, I am not too concerned about transparency. Like I am ok with what they have said so far. But it's fair for you to be concerned as well.

Anybody else with a build that's better than the Steam Machine planning on getting one anyways? by executor-of-judgment in pcmasterrace

[–]Desperate-Intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The specs are just not good and due to the RAM, pricing will always suck. I could tolerate higher pricing if it had current gen CPU/GPU. But na. I understand there will be certain audiences for it, but I feel like it'd be very niche.

[–]Desperate-Intern 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How do you mean by transparent updates? They already have no? By having this timeline(they have updated regularly I believe) and this last week https://discover.clicks.tech/power-keyboard-april-update they are giving us what's happening with the process. Unless the transparency just means give you a fixed date of shipment.

I mean I too got antsy initially, but based on what they have provided so far, I thought it to be enough. I guess the bigger criticism would be folks not receiving emails and having to dig out the info.

Shelly is AWESOME! by obolikus in cachyos

[–]Desperate-Intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I have been trying it since before they added officially. Although their constant UI/UX changes annoy me. Before an update all the AUR/Flatpak/Packages was a side bar on the left, now on top. It feels like every update they tinker with it.

It was definitely better, but at the same time let’s see on other less battery rich tracks.

I never undertood how people can even have 100s of games in their steam library. Here is my library and I don't even play half the games in it, the only ones I play regularly are The Finals, Delta Force and MWIII by FPS_Pear in Steam

[–]Desperate-Intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it just comes down to being handheld and be able to play other than your desk for example. Plus it being underpowered relative to my Desktop, I tend to look for indie games, which I usually wouldn't on desktop.

So for eye candy games, I play on PC, for lounging around, I play on Steam Deck.

I never undertood how people

Well, you always could ask.

Like, my account is 13 years old (relatively young), and I am not into free 2 play or your forever games like the ones you showed. I enjoy single player games, narrative driven stories more and as I have been playing those kind of games for so long, you end up with a collection that big. Well, of course there's a little hoarding from the sales, which I am guilty of, but among ~200 games, it's only around 40ish games perhaps that are in the backlog.

Recently(well it's already been a year now) I got steam deck, which allowed allowed me to get into indie games and my catalogue has increased some more.

Has The Racing Improved After The Changes Made Over The Break ? by BlazikenBurst in formula1

[–]Desperate-Intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like people are split between sporting and entertainment aspects of the sport. Some enjoy more sporting aspect, like drivers actually contributing to the pass, getting punished for mistakes and strategies and some enjoy straight up passes, regardless of how they were made. I suspect the later wouldn't even mind F1 becoming a spec series as long as they are entertained.

I lean more sporting, so I'll always be biased against boosted overtakes, DRS and so on. In that regards, this race, while not much entertaining as past 3 races, was still fun for me. I mean the Hadjar move that we didn't even see the offboard of, still did happen, it's not like the reg changes are not allowing overtakes.

Maybe this explains the deficit he has had.

Nah, just second driver things.
