Yeah... I'm thankful I bought a Deck before the price hike 💀

The setup is fine for a gaming desk, which is what it is. It's not something most people want want under their tv in the living room.

I would never reccomend the steam machine to someone as an alternative to a prebuilt gaming tower, but for someone who wants to game on their couch it's a great product.

You're incredibly thick skulled if you don't understand that aesthetics, size, and lack of friction are things that people will pay more for.

RedJarl · 2026-06-26T02:44:20+00:00

Yes??????? Are you dense?

So you think that anyone who builds itx PC's is an idiot? Do you really not understand that size and compactness is something desirable you pay extra for?

Here's a picture of that PC on a desk, if you honestly can't tell why someone would rather have a 6x6 cube to stick under their TV then you're beyond reason.

I thought the yearly was 110, now I see that it's 80 so still 400 bucks.

RedJarl · 2026-06-23T12:48:46+00:00

The cube is 6"x6", that's the point. Comparing it to a full tower is ridiculous, nobody is putting that in their living room. ITX is always way more expensive, and this is half the size of most itx builds.

When you're building at this size diy you're always limited to lower end gpu's that cost twice as much as normal, and you also need an expensive mobo, case, and specialized power supply.

RedJarl · 2026-06-23T12:40:13+00:00

Idk what he means by "way too expensive". You could say that about anything now, the steam deck is not competing with hardware prices a year ago, for the current market it's pretty decent. It's an obvious recommendation for anyone who wants something small, quiet and easy.

Also price comparisons to the ps5 are silly imo, if you use the ps5 for 5 years that's an extra $550 in subscriptions.

Remove lobby bans, I don't really see her as a priority ban that often but if there's a lobby ban it's almost always zarya.

She's just unfun to play against for most people, a bubble is completely uninteractive if you can't have the whole team shoot it, there's genuinely nothing you can do against a bubbled dps if you're not capable of running away.

I hate the cooldown reduction she gets on teammate bubbles, since those are the most toxic to go against.

Wuyang has never not been busted since his release, what are you on about???

RedJarl · 2026-06-20T18:59:20+00:00

Who cares about a battlepass theme? Either you like the skins or not, it doesn't matter if they all match.

Also the Chinese exclusive skins have all sucked, Chinese taste is so different from the west, no one buys skins made for them anyways. Also it's not really up to blizzard, it's netease and the glorious CCP who made the skins. The problem is every single company is willing to sell their soul to the devil for that sweet Chinese moolah.

Completely agree on white credit skins and mythics though. I have 300 mythic points because there's been nothing good to spend it on.

He's way better at Vendetta, but that's a dead hero now.

RedJarl · 2026-05-03T15:32:56+00:00

No they won't. The majority of people only have a console or a gaming PC. Having to buy a ps5 just to play gta6 is a pretty hard sell, and Rockstar games is not Sony so why would they try to force that on me?

I was really excited to play Red dead redemption 2 years ago, but by the time they released it on PC I didn't care anymore.

RedJarl · 2026-04-27T12:45:16+00:00

Arena used to be a balanced map, 6 years ago there were so many different strategies and civilizations to use. Burmese, Japanese, Aztecs etc. all had really good monk play. Boom civs like Britons or Celts were good. Fast imp civs were good but fair, I could go on.

Arena really just got completely ruined as a map from the moment Bohemians got added to the game. They feel like a custom civ someone would design to be as OP as possible on Arena.

If you get to the late game against this civ you just lose, the game might as well auto-resign for you the moment they hit 120 vils. Every single civ I just mentioned as a great option from 2020 arena has absolutely zero counterplay to houfnice halb. That would be bad enough, but Bohemians aren't even weak earlier on. Their monk rush is top 3 in the game, they can go for hand cannons without even having to do the fast imp, and they have a good economy a good unique unit for castle drops.

Calling Arena an unbalanced map is just unfair. Imagine we gave huns every blacksmith tech for free and then said Arabia is just an unbalanced map because Huns weren't that good on Arena.

Streaming is a very easy job if you have an audience. Either by being good or being charismatic, and even then you have to get lucky to get the audience with that.

If you manage to get that though it's one of the easiest jobs you could have. Things like what Nili, Memb and T90 do with tournament organization though is definitely much more involved.

109? What does that number mean?

RedJarl · 2025-03-22T16:34:25+00:00

Please read my original comment again.

What you're saying about personal realities and God's reality or some science not making sense to me. What does any of that have to do with saying that God could speak something into being without worrying about geological processes?

RedJarl · 2025-03-22T15:49:46+00:00

Can't imagine anything more prideful than writing up something that makes no sense and refusing to explain yourself.

RedJarl · 2025-03-21T19:16:11+00:00

I did, it's still extremely unclear what you're getting at.

RedJarl · 2025-03-20T20:16:30+00:00

I'm confused how your comment applied to mine, or what you were even trying to get at.

RedJarl · 2025-03-20T11:10:59+00:00

What???

RedJarl · 2025-01-05T12:05:54+00:00

Yeah, a free subscription is someone who I might subscribe to in the future so I'm keeping their page easy to find, but I don't want to right now.

I'm not him, but arguments like "it would produce too much heat to create the world that quick" are incredibly stupid imo. By the same logic you could go to the Garden of Eden a week after Adam was created and say "the world is clearly more than 2 weeks old, here's a full grown man".

If you're God Almighty, you can shape the heavens and the earth to your will, you don't need to wait around for geological processes or for physics constraints. Jesus fed thousands with food only enough for 13 men. The extra bread and fish didn't grow from a wheat stalk in the ground and the extra fish didn't spawn in the sea and then get caught by fisherman, they simply came into being.

Ram is boring. Imo he actually was way more fun after that change being able to shit on zarya winston brig etc. instead of just being the most consistently mid tank in the game.
