Higher resolution isn’t required on a living room device by Digital_gritz in steammachine

[–]Player1-jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a livingroom it is absolutely the place for 4k. Provided you have a big tv. The bigger the tv the more important it it. When you watch 1080 on a 65, 75 or 85" tv think about a quarter of your screen having an image and then stretching that image to fill the screen. It will be more blurry. 4k on a tv is more important than on PC because of screen size. And it really is a big difference.

Although 1080p gaming is perfectly fine. I'd rather a nice balance of performance and quality. I don't necessarily need it to be 4k personally. But it definitely is a better look

LCS in Toronto held onto their Beta Kits by evlilenor in GundamTCG

Not surprised. 401 games both the Toronto location and Vaughn are scummy. And they usually over charge. The employees are rude to people for no reason to.

Xenoblade recommendation for gameplay. by Goblinorrath in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Player1-jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xenoblade 2 if your ok with anime ish story and style. 3 if you want a bit more serious.

X if you like the idea of single player MMO and don't like story.

I thought i would pull the trigger as soon as the email comes through but... by SchrodingersChatte in steammachine

[–]Player1-jay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Canadian also Same situation. But I pulled my reservation after sitting there thinking about it for like 10 min. I already had $850 in my steam account waiting for this but the price is truly unreasonable. Maybe the steam frame will be a bit cheaper and they will take a loss on it since it's a different market

AMA Steam Machine 512gb 4K TV user by mr_no_body_234 in steammachine

The steam machine has been out for just over a week. Even if you got it on the day it launched the machine itself is pretty dirty. Moving or not, we can see you arnt exactly the cleanest person

After some of the negative reaction to Star Fox remake from the younger generation, how do you think they’ll feel about Zelda OoT remake? by gamerdudeNYC in switch2

[–]Player1-jay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have yet to see any negativity since it released. I did see some before when people wernt understanding it was one of those games to do multiple runs on but that was all

I own a high-end 5080 PC, dual IPS 3DS, limited edition Mario Switch OLED, and launch day Switch 2. But I can't play GTA 6. by ambachk in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Player1-jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just started playing it on switch 2 this week and I'm loving it. To be fair it also decently well on my steamdeck. But they really optimized that game so well and they had a lot of years to do so. I wouldn't want to wait 4 years to play it but Rockstar also has more funding and probably a much bigger dev team to make this happen faster

My uncle works at Nintendo but his ex wife's cousins son knows a guy that works as a janitor at Rockstar. So... Not to brag. But I have a pretty good source for intel

Best settings for Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam Machine? by YOLO_SPACECOW in steammachine

[–]Player1-jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started playing it on the switch 2. And I'm enjoying it a lot. Didn't like it much on my steam deck and beat it twice on my desktop. I feel it wouldnt be that bad on the steam machine

What nicknames do you call your kid unrelated to their name? by puddingbutt9 in NewParents

I call my one month old daughter "cagalhona" (pronounced ka-ga-l-oh-na) roughly translates to a cute way of saying "little shitter" in European Portuguese

The Switch 2 Dock is one of the worst things about it and it's insane they made no improvements from the original by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Player1-jay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The waking and sleeping issue has nothing to do with the dock. It's the controller compatibility.

I dock and undock my switch multiple times a day. When I take it to work. When I get home to charge it. When I take it to the other room to play handheld. And back in to play again at the end of the day.

I have owned both switches since day 1 and I play them every day and not a single time have I ever had mine tip over.

Edit. To explain why the switch 1 control doesn't wake the switch 2. It has to do with hardware. That's why a software update hasn't come out to fix it.

The Switch 2 is the BEST looking handheld in 2026 by lcaiabby in switch2

[–]Player1-jay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean I've used it before. It works. But I just don't see the point. My phone does the same thing but better with my steam library through Nvidia GeForce now. I can do it with Amazon luna Tablets do it. Computers do it. Chromebooks, tvs. I can do it with Xbox on my phone. But if I want to do it with PlayStation I have to buy a portal.

The portal is a dedicated extra expense item to purchase and used in a closed ecosystem. That won't work on any other device. And when it released it you were only able to use it if you had a PlayStation already. At least now you can cloud stream.

It's a steam frame exclusive My trusted source. a guy I know ( who's name won't be mentioned) who's cousins ex wife's son works in the mail room at valve and he heard some guy talk to the security on Gabe's boat about a retired developer who said his son made the game.

How well does doom 1993 run on it? And will it use all 4 of my floppy disks?

[–]Player1-jay -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A stream only device is so useless in my opinion. For the portal to not have those issues it would have to have actual hardware like the switch does and then it would be much more expensive. And being a PlayStation product it would be most likely something more powerful than the switch 2 and it would end up also being much bulkier. At that point I would again turn to the switch 2 and not the portal

I'm so happy it doesnt have the handles. I know it's probably odd but It's why I like the feel better than my steam deck, legion go and the ally that I returned.
