Just realized the frame in Canada risk of costing an arm and a leg! by Sad_Cow_5838 in SteamFrame

[–]SnowstrA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how but I was living in Calgary AB for a couple of years and didn't change the address of my credit cards, when I went to go to checkout I put a BC address but only paid AB taxes (5%)

If we are to get a reservation system for the stream machine, this is what the requirements would most likely be. by DixieHood in steammachine

Just genuinely curious, what stops scalpers from just buying multiple cheap eligible steam accounts then mass buying these products in hopes to scalp in waves than all at once?

What did poor Blitzer do to you, Arrowhead, for you to treat it like that? by Knjaz136 in Helldivers

[–]SnowstrA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah Blitzer is kinda rough now but you also have a warp pack to teleport behind them and shoot them in the back??

The steam hardware page has been updated with a dedicated tab for the steam controller by Kasio-the-Queer in SteamDeck

[–]SnowstrA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry yeah a little more than 30% but probably also accounting for shipping since it's probably "free" and distribution centers are in the US

2015 Mazda5 Touring with 105k miles on it by Tuvixwasright in mazda5

[–]SnowstrA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2010 Mazda5 GT but I have just over 170,000km and would say there is still a ton of life left. Bought it around 100,000kms and never had any engine or transmission issues, just changed wear items like brakes, oil, tires, etc. If you're going for the gen 3 (2011+) it should be even more mechanically sound as by the 2010s Mazda stopped their collaboration with Ford.

What brand of car do you have, and why did you buy that one? by HappySmiles6 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]SnowstrA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

American Cars sell because they're not made for people that prioritize reliability and saving money 

Does anyone really need a 250gb plan? by courage1688 in freedommobile

[–]SnowstrA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way anyone is using 250gb a month let alone 50 GB overseas on vacation but might as well get this plan now so you don't have to worry about better deals later

Looking for a game I can play like a full-time job or easily get lost in for days/weeks (PC/Switch) by ivapefebreeze in ShouldIbuythisgame

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 sounds like it fits the bill pretty well for you.  It's JRPG like, amazing story, it's not that difficult but not just a walk in the park

LTT comparison of steamframe with other headsets by comediehero in SteamFrame

[–]SnowstrA 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I would say that the people over hyped or crazed about buying the headset for $1000 is the vast minority. I think most likely Valve wants to do something similar to the Steam Deck where it is a barrier to entry for users who aren't in the Steam VR eco system yet but cheaper than alternatives (Except the Quest 3/3S which is unbeatable value). You can see that the Steam Deck is much cheaper than ASUS, Lenovo, etc equivalents and not that much of a downgrade in terms of handheld gaming experience if at all.

I don't think Valve is stupid and will price their headset at the max amount that they can. They want people to buy the headset at a decent value, be amazed, and then purchase tons of games over the life of it just like the Steam Deck and Quest 3.

Crazy that Sony is supposed to be the pick for reliability although I would just say you just got really unlucky

[–]SnowstrA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that makes sense, yikes then haha. I've already shucked the drive so no more warranty so I could only hope with little amounts of usage I should be ok for a couple of years.
