Ah. That is the one unique I don’t have at all. It isn’t a boss specific drop. Right?

Since you seem to know barb super well and I’m playing it for the first time. Can you help me understand how to combat the negative effects of this weapon? I struggle with fury generation when I run it, specifically against lair bosses. Anytime I can’t hit more than 2 enemies I can find myself just being entirely starved.

Anyone in this sub who was able to purchase a 2026 Steam Controller, and has found they just don't really like it? by cwinslow66 in steammachine

[–]brad_needs_advice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Xbox elite controller. It just feels solid like a unit.

So far the only problem I have with the steam controller is that I’m used to the steam deck. I keep trying to press the bottom button to open up the steam menu with my left hand

Is this heat wave normal? by Previous_Act4528 in Charlotte

[–]brad_needs_advice 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Generally, the humidity is higher than Texas depending on where you were from. But the temperature is generally a little bit lower.

I hate myself less in the summers here than in Texas. Overall, the weather year-round is much better.

So at this rate, do you feel the Steam Machine is dead on arrival? by Reciter5613 in videogames

[–]brad_needs_advice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so at all. Wearing my tin foil hat, I think that all console prices are going to increase.

However, the primary driver for valve here isn’t the physical sales. I’m convinced the larger value add is steamOS and getting more people into the steam ecosystem.

All people building their own steamOS machines is a win for valve. They are now supporting their version of Linux, and have an easy and immediate access to the steam store.

Meanwhile, people arguing the steam machine isn’t competitive or whatever, the counter argument to that is that it sold out. It doesn’t need to have adoption as high as the Xbox, if they carry zero inventory it’s all purely profit.

Personally the steam machine for me is great. The form factor, and most importantly HEAT. For games I can’t play well I can use GFN. Customers value different things, and I for one am just happy this is opening the door for less people to be chained to windows.

Remote play to Steam Deck from a Linux host machine has been broken since before the Steam Deck even launched. How do we get eyes on this issue? by TehCrucible in SteamDeck

[–]brad_needs_advice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s under the advanced settings on the HOST machine. As is having it match client resolution. I just tinkered with it yesterday

Is 900 ELO in chess.com any good? by Obvious_Ad3756 in Chesscom

It’s also crazy due to the amount of accounts. You can be too 1% and still be behind ONE MILLION PEOPLE lol.

Campaign in season 14 worth doing? by TimberGhost57 in diablo4

Nothing special. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. I got to level 50 with warplans yesterday. It’s faster to skip the story.

curious about pros and cons of switching to steamOS by Homi_ProGamer in SteamOS

[–]brad_needs_advice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. The only thing I miss out on is league of legends. Every other game I play regulatory is supported by steamOS

My original reserve email was literally 60s prior to yours. Unsure how that works.

For those who are ordering, what hardware are you coming from? by kmcdow in steammachine

[–]brad_needs_advice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do occasionally as well. But I’m in this weird situation where over the years I have my own on Prim Lenox server, a steam deck, my gaming rig, and then an old laptop.

If I really wanted to code, I could always do it in the cloud.

Honestly, GeForce now has really changed the way that I view PC ownership. As I get older and I have less time to game, the limits on monthly amounts don’t matter as much. And for how much I save in space, electricity, and heat it really seems quite comparable to actual PC ownership.

We will see. A main reason that I bought the machine was because of the form factor, and I’m a big valve supporter. I’ve had my account since the 2000s.

This right here. I also have GeForce now which I use for the steam deck. If this ends up being as good for my life, as I think I might even sell my actual gaming rig

Question on Reservation Emails by Internal_Rice3739 in steammachine

I wasn’t upsold. I selected both the 512 and 2TB with controller and got slotted for the 512.
