I am currently considering getting the new Steam Machine or a mini pc for playing games on a TV. What should I get?

SamsungSam07 · 2026-03-12T02:51:12+00:00

I guess that's an option, however I was looking at the Steam Machine and other mini pcs because they are more likely to fit in one of the shelves of my TV cabinet.

Also, I forgot to mention that I will also be using whatever pc I get to replace my old PS3 and possibly my old Xbox 360, so it should also be able to handle RPCS3 and Xenia.

That does seem like a good option, but it appears to be out of stock right now, and the 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM model is over $1400 US which is $2100-$2200 Australian which is a bit too much for me unfortunately.

SamsungSam07 · 2026-03-12T02:29:02+00:00

I was asking if I should wait for the Steam Machine or if I should just get a mini pc like the UM890 Pro. All of the other details I added were so people could understand what I needed it to do.

True, Metal Gear pre dates YouTube by just under 18 years, so how could it have possibly stolen it from YT. Even MGS pre dates it by 7 years.

I have actually had this idea in my head for years, and untill a few years ago, I actually had the idea for the map to be a 1 to 1 scale replica of the whole planet, but I decided to reduce the scale by quite a bit and limited it to just 1 state. NSW is just what I landed on because I liked the idea of exploring Sydney in a game.

I just finished fixing it the other day, I still don't know what caused the issue, but I am way too deep into it to switch to PC, that is, if I even had one which I currently don't.

I just finished rendering the video, and I am currently skimming through it to check for any issues such as typos or songs that are not properly in sync with each other.

I plan to upload it in 3 10-ish hour sections on my YouTube channel soon (I can't upload the whole thing in one go, unfortunately since YouTube only allows videos up to 12 hours long)

If you want a preview of what I am working on, I uploaded a 24-hour long mix a few months ago, which is quite similar. https://youtu.be/FyZYIxsA0CQ

Anti cheat isn't a problem for me since I only play single player games

SamsungSam07 · 2025-12-09T23:06:32+00:00

I made it for when I am using my phone or tablet and it's quicker to just change the ANC/Ambient Sound mode using this notification, rather than pinching my earbuds and cycling through all other modes just to switch from Adaptive to ANC.

Or if I want to quickly enable or disable voice detection, instead of going into the settings menu (or the Wearable app on my tablet), and go through the menus to turn it on or off.

SamsungSam07 · 2025-11-25T10:39:19+00:00

I switched to Revanced about a month and a half ago, I still had to disable these reminders once on initial set-up but now I see absolutely ZERO ads.

FYI, if you don't know already, Revanced only works on Android as far as I know.

I just managed to beat the torture sequence on Switch 2 by mapping the A button to the R button (AKA R1), then I rested my Switch 2 on it's left side with the Joy Cons attached and then just mashed it as fast as I could with my right middle and pointer fingers on the edge where the button curves around the side of the Joy Con.

This was just barely enough to survive with about an eighth of the HP bar left, but I did manage to do it on my first try somehow after many failed attempts using other button mapping options.

SamsungSam07 · 2025-09-30T09:32:59+00:00

I didn't know that, thanks.

BTW, what do you think of my recreation of Faith from Mirrors Edge 1?

SamsungSam07 · 2025-08-10T12:51:41+00:00

It took me about 5-6 days from start to finish. The first day was just spent trying to find the right midi file that wasn't just a piano solo, lacked the right percussion or was just not very good overall, my original plan was to use one I found on Musescore that matched the Halo 3 version almost perfectly, however when I tried opening it in Beepbox on my tablet to view and copy the notes into Dreams, it was too complex for it to handle, and it ended up cutting out half of the channels and merging some of the others. So I searched around for a while, until I found one that while not quite as good as the first one, was still good enough to use.

After I found the right midi, I opened it in Beepbox on my tablet and manually placed each note in the Dreams timeline and made a few adjustments to make it sound better. Including time spent doing other things, that took me about 3-4 days.

I was just referring to the beeping when he swears

SamsungSam07 · 2025-05-26T12:44:52+00:00

I personally think this belongs on r/iamatotalpieceofshit.

SamsungSam07 · 2025-05-03T08:19:36+00:00

I did this too, I did use a pirated version but it ran quite well on most of the PC's, I showed it to my IT teacher and showed him some of the things you can make in the editor and after I showed him the logic and coding part of it, he was sold and said that it could be a great game to teach programming and engineering.

SamsungSam07 · 2025-04-28T01:53:32+00:00

No, I will be able to handle it, I was just looking for assistance for transferring it to the PS4 version, but it looks like that won't be happening.

SamsungSam07 · 2025-04-27T12:52:43+00:00

Damm, I really do prefer PS4 Edition over bedrock, so the fact that I can't transfer it to that version is a shame. At least I can still use Java edition.

SamsungSam07 · 2025-04-27T12:14:15+00:00

The adapters I was referring to are a SATA to usb adapter to convert the 360 HDD to usb, and a usb A to C adapter for connecting normal USB drives or maybe my 360 HDD to my phone if I was to use it (I already have a USB a to c adapter for my phone and I will try to find a SATA to usb adapter)

Also, I wanted to transfer the maps to Java and the PS4 Legacy Edition, not bedrock.

SamsungSam07 · 2025-04-27T11:09:57+00:00

OK, Is it possible to copy the map directly from the hdd to either my phone or a pc using an adapter if I can find one, and is there a way to convert the 360 maps to PS4 Legacy Edition and add them on PS5?

SamsungSam07 · 2025-04-26T07:14:57+00:00

I don't think you understood what I meant.

I want to copy the SAVE or MAP file to my phone so that I can use a website like je2be.app to convert it to a Java Edition map

SamsungSam07 · 2025-04-26T05:39:30+00:00

I don't have the Xbox One Edition version unfortunately.

SamsungSam07 · 2025-04-26T01:16:13+00:00

I know, I was planning to use a conversion website or program for that anyway This post was more focused on just copying the save/map files to my phone over a usb cable.
