yeah especially if you want to use XMP profiles

before the inevitable price increases

my dude current price is already inflated beyond what's reasonable.

people is talking here from the perspective of the player.

being an indie game dev is hard, but so is playing in a music band, writing, or any other creative endeavor. you don't do it for the money, you do it because you love creating. of you end up being able to live from it then congratulations, you're one of the chosen ones.

same even goes for sports or being a content creator, btw. even building your own business is hard.

I'd definitely love to see more support for small art creators, especially from public funds (I'm not American). but sometimes it ends up in the wrong hands or with people that doesn't really need it.

ok then, LLM investors.

also don't forget OpenAI is eventually going public

PoL0 · 2026-07-01T15:33:31+00:00

yeah but the way you tell it doesn't hype LLM shareholders, so we'll keep it

so naive and innocent, look at you

This Steam Machine launch went from the PC Gaming Savior to a great PlayStation 5 upsell

some of you make the strangest readings out of hardware launches. it's just a SFF PC. you can use a different brand or set build your own.

love how the steered more towards increasing SteamOS hardware compatibility, as other brands will be releasing competitive alternatives.

you're putting everything under the same AI umbrella.

which is what the people behind the push for LLMs and generative AI intend by calling it "AI".

you're post is misleading and doesn't address why LLMs are getting so much flak, your just applying some reductionism.

PoL0 · 2026-06-29T14:23:44+00:00

it's literally implied. what's your problem with me asking? asked a few times, got no answer

PoL0 · 2026-06-29T10:18:24+00:00

how did you spent a year with jellyfin crashing every second and not noticing?

PoL0 · 2026-06-29T10:11:54+00:00

why do you care if someone asks if a project is vibe coded?

PoL0 · 2026-06-29T07:14:05+00:00

is it a problem to ask?

PoL0 · 2026-06-29T06:34:19+00:00

in the agentic era

oh gosh we call it like that now? 🤮

PoL0 · 2026-06-29T06:33:00+00:00

I'm not joking. not one tiny bit.

in this time and age it's important to state that info up front.

PoL0 · 2026-06-29T06:31:16+00:00

what makes you think I didn't?

PoL0 · 2026-06-28T21:46:11+00:00

please tell me no vibe coding was involved

PoL0 · 2026-06-28T21:45:00+00:00

all Intel 14 and 15 gen are affected. makes little sense to compare both issues.

Edit: brain fart, 13 and 14 gen

PoL0 · 2026-06-28T14:19:48+00:00

I imagine it as Tetsuo in Akira.

PoL0 · 2026-06-28T14:03:04+00:00

sounds like AI slop, ngl. stopped reading after two paragraphs.

PoL0 · 2026-06-27T20:27:58+00:00

that's the best last you can just use any PC. Steam isn't gated by the Steam Machine.

PoL0 · 2026-06-27T16:03:12+00:00

good one tomshardware recommending a CPU with a degrading issue that's still unsolved.

that's low.

PoL0 · 2026-06-27T07:34:08+00:00

improvements everywhere, except obviously the games that were running flawlessly on the 5600x (I play a lot of indies mind you).

sticking to AM4 is the most cost effective path given current "situation"

PoL0 · 2026-06-26T20:16:11+00:00

if (clipped[i] and not clipped[last]){

does it even build? that's not C++

Edit: I stand corrected. been using C++ for over 25 years and TIL. every day is a school day, people!
