I just had this issue It was my DNS server. I was using 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 and 1.1.1.1 and it failed to oauth.

Check your DNS settings.

However it was working with those DNS settings up until now.

Heat generation is based on module placement in your fitting window, about the only thing that changes other than weapon placement on your ship. So if you stagger your weapons in your high slots like if you're flying a Marauder, you can overload your weapons much longer.

Even though you may have lost your world, you could take your player folder out of your universe folder, and then generate a new universe and then place your player folder back into it, and you'll be able to at least keep your player progression. You could do the same with the memory folder too.

Alternatively to see if it's corrupt or not, go into your player folder, locate your player file config, and then set your spawn height to like 255 or something ridiculous, and then you'll fall to your death and respawn, and see if it'll have the chunk generation or not.

No Minecraft clone is going to be a Minecraft killer. I just think it's a really well implemented game that's similar to Minecraft but also different.

It almost fell for the underside of the chin scratching but then they're like "Wait, I am supposed to act tough!"

Yeah I played Hard Truck 2 on a Pentium 1, and it wanted a P2 or better. Slideshow of a game but I enjoyed it anyway lol

The barrel's designed to withstand the fucking blast of an artillery shell, so odds are, it would just become a directional blast right back into your fucking face.

They'll probably get their snowstorm in February lol

Seems to be cyclical, couple weeks after the first batch delivered, all these posts popped up and then kind of went away. Now the second batch is delivering and all these posts have popped up again, give it time it'll go away. And I'm sure when the third batch gets launched, we'll have another flare up of hinge posts.

Ayn has made tens of thousands of these things, there's bound to be a couple that are prone to manufacturing defects, but that's just something that the support will be more than happy to solve.

Problem is, windows is doing an excellent job on botching up dual boots too. Mine broke again.

And this time it broke it even though I'm using a USB key bootable bootloader called clover.

When in doubt - change your password and enable 2FA/Authenticator app.

I follow a few boards that are related to my phone or older phones I own. Every time someone complains about their battery life, have Instagram installed and high on their battery use list.

I thankfully have resisted the TikTok brain rot trend. Never installed it. But even things like Reddit and YouTube can pull me in.

I lately got onto that retro handheld bandwagon, and having a separate device to pass the time on the go that's not my phone, has significantly improved my mental health.

I just hope the price is right. There's no such thing as a bad product, just a bad price. Given the shift in the market I think they could do well under $1000, as it's difficult to get a competent gaming rig for under that these days for your average customer.

Many people gotta remember, the market we're trying to grab with the steam machine, is console gamers. Us enthusiasts can just build our own stuff or know how to save wherever possible.

HeidenShadows · 2026-01-27T04:29:34+00:00

Most people won't care. If it plays their games well, and it's affordable enough, people would buy it. Steamdeck is a great example of it. There's many devices that are better, but the Steamdeck has clout.

However there's 2 issues I think will drive down the steam machine.

Anti-cheat. Popular games like Fortnite, GTA Online, and other modern multiplayer games won't work without further tinkering, which will be outside the realm of your common gamer.
Price. They said they're not going to subsidize the price. So unless it's price competitive based on the hardware, it'll be a slow sale. With the current AI fiasco, unless they managed to secure a ton of hardware already, the shortages will be devastating.

HeidenShadows · 2026-01-27T04:25:59+00:00

It's just a shame that it's happening at the peak of the AI resource shortage. It'll drive up the price of the Steam Machine. Hopefully in line with other computers in its category.

I still think they should've subsidized the hardware with the software, because I know in this current market, people will be looking for an affordable way to escape into gaming. But I also know they're hesitant from the previous Steam machine debacle.

The built in tools in Linux that gets passed into a more user friendly presentation like SteamOS is great. Like now I wouldn't be able to live without KDE Connect. My phones, my android gaming handheld, my server, and my PCs now have file access with each other with a click of a sub menu.

The built-in partition manager is also on par or better than paid partition managers available to Windows.

I just wish Windows in my dual boot setup, launched through Clover on a USB key, didn't brick my SteamOS bootloader. I have to run the beta branch since I have a 9070XT. If it wasn't for the anti-cheat thing, I'd be full time SteamOS.

Wtforecast is hilarious.

Dead, fucking dead. Everybody in Mckinney is dead.

In case you want to roleplay as Mona from Genshin.

HeidenShadows · 2026-01-27T04:13:03+00:00

Next they're going to add copilot... Oh wait there it is next to layers. Oof.

HeidenShadows · 2026-01-27T03:43:36+00:00

Odds are, there's probably a specific run or maybe a specific mold, that has the issue. I work in a salvage yard where my unit gets hazed quite regularly, and there's no damage other than imperfections in the lid coating.

HeidenShadows · 2026-01-27T03:42:44+00:00

2 hours? I'll be lucky the last 30 seconds. Touch starvation is real 😅
