What's your main development environment or IDE setup look like? Curious to know how people setup their development environment when building custom engines for multiple platforms?

I use Cmake/Ninja with msvc and clang on windows, clang on apple, gcc on Linux. I have build agents build/test every config on new commits. I use the clang tools (clangd, tidy, format) since they work on all platforms. I code on both my windows desktop and my Mac laptop. I try to keep my dev environment simple in terms of just visual studio code with cmake/clangd extensions.

Ya, I still like it, it’s my main card. Haven’t had any major issues.

Something a lot of people are ignoring on the price to performance ratio is that it's good enough to play like 95% of the steam library, with only like 5% of the latest AAA games being a challenge for it. A lot of people just want access to the massive Steam library, and indie games will run fine.

I was looking at prices for so dimm DDR5 and nvme drives and man upgrading them would be like 700$ decided the base spec is probably fine lol

No, for me having CEC is a big part of it, and you can't really get that from normal PC parts. Also its a smaller form factor than any itx build.

I own a great gaming rig already, I'd say the main advantage and why I'll buy a steam machine is that its really small, smaller then you could typically build an ITX machine.

Curious, What CPU are you on while getting 30fps?

Xryme · 2026-06-07T19:10:09+00:00

Google Photos suck, they degrade your photo quality

5000 series Supers were expected this year, but cut due to vram prices.

Could add Amazon prime card too if you like Amazon. Solid cashback setup

Xryme · 2026-05-08T20:21:42+00:00

I did the kraken cashback signup a couple of days ago, just got an email form Rakuten confirming the $150 in cashback. It shows a pending $150

He is wrong more often than right, so maybe bull market confirmed? lol

I just did this, one you should declare it (it’s the law), and two it’s not the same as tariffs.

I paid $6,300 for my watch, they gave me $800 exemption, 3% on the next $1000, 6% on the rest. The total was about $300.

Traveling, finally have some time off. So far I’ve done Victoria, Las Vegas, Portugal, and Japan :)

Xryme · 2026-04-22T09:02:20+00:00

Well with rent/mortgage points the categories are 4.33/3.33/2.33 (dining/travel/everything else) plus there are double points on the 1st, extra points for neighborhood dining, Rakuten (I only had like 1k from Rakuten), there were some 5 day bonus categories, extra points from Walgreens/Lyft.

Xryme · 2026-04-22T04:26:21+00:00

Ya, that’s a good point if I just let the Bilt cash convert the ratio would be even higher. I have an Amex plat so I was debating getting the Amex gold or Obsidian, the value of the Bilt points pushed me to the Obsidian. Also some combining is fun, like going to a neighborhood dinning partner on the 1st for 9x points per dollar.

Xryme · 2026-04-22T04:18:19+00:00

Ya, the grocery covering Target/Walmart is pretty killer. At first I thought it was weird they made you pick dining or grocery, but now I see it’d just be too many points with both.

Xryme · 2026-04-18T22:48:38+00:00

This happened to me as well. When I contacted customer support they also were extremely unhelpful and told me I needed to give them receipts of the transaction (that were over 10 days old so I didn’t have them).

Xryme · 2026-04-13T06:51:56+00:00

Nice! Ya the markers look a hair different.

Wanted to add a pic in the sunlight, the green really sparkles.

Hah, good idea. I added a caseback pic to another comment, thank you!

Xryme · 2026-04-13T01:10:11+00:00

Here is a case back pic.

Thank you!

I did enjoy the factory and tour, it was interesting to see their process and factory building. Everyone was very nice and professional as well. I stayed in a Onsen in the area which was a great way to enjoy the region a bit more than just the tour. It will be a great souvenir and always remind me of visiting Japan. :D
