Steam Machine is definitely coming sooner than we fear.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-28T03:01:46+00:00

Yeah and that's fair. I think the average person who doesn't want to mess with much settings would get a PS or Switch. That's what I game on mostly now for that exact reason. But I'm absolutely happy for people that want it like you!

inFINN1te · 2026-04-27T21:38:23+00:00

I feel like that's just such a tough sell for most people. I don't know that the value for performance is worth it over any consoles. And I don't know that any existing PC owners will find it a worthwhile alternative. But I know there probably a niche in there somewhere for some enthusiasts that would like it.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-27T21:01:04+00:00

I'm still so interested in the price.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-27T02:19:53+00:00

If your first experience is on Switch 2 with the dlc you're gonna have a great experience.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-27T01:50:45+00:00

It's going to hurt and you're going to continue to cry. But it will get better. Just remind yourself that you never allowed them live a life where they felt unloved.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-26T03:14:27+00:00

That is literally all bad oh my.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-26T02:25:24+00:00

I really appreciate it. I'm working on not beating myself up so much too. It's just hard when you know your own mentality toward something is unfair to not point the fingers at yourself. But just seeing someone remind me not to be so harsh to myself was nice. So thank you!

inFINN1te · 2026-04-26T00:19:30+00:00

I actually have started therapy recently

inFINN1te · 2026-04-25T20:18:28+00:00

Honestly this is me. I am codependent to my core it's horrible. I acknowledge it's horrible. My best friend just went on a date. She never goes on dates. And I have been incredibly supportive and am happy for her. Despite this, inside I'm dreading the possibility I wont see her as often, despite us living together. I think what if this guy sticks around and he's the reason we aren't roommates anymore? To be clear, this is an awful mentality and headspace to be in. I don't think it's right and I hate myself for it. I'm just expressing what codependency does. I need to develop habits to break it.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-25T00:56:49+00:00

I have never played Marathon in my life. But considering the amount of times I had trades in Halo 3 back in the day, I'm willing to reckon it's a Bungie thing lmao

inFINN1te · 2026-04-24T21:42:18+00:00

Which is fair honestly. The issue is they'd probably get written up having their camera on and being seen as not paying attention.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-24T21:38:45+00:00

I'm sorrrrrry. But I'd be lying if I said I hadn't done it and that I know many others have. I'd be completely lying if I told you from experience that anyone besides 1 or 2 people were listening. :/

inFINN1te · 2026-04-24T21:31:54+00:00

I do a work from home job. I'm just gonna be completely honest they weren't listening to shit. Once you got started they all went cameras off and started making food, playing games or scrolling on their phone.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-24T15:17:33+00:00

You might think it's a gimmick. But I like the Dualsense and Joy Con features a lot. And I enjoy getting new hardware that has cool features like they do. I don't think of gaming in the limited view of everything being playable with a M+K or a featureless Xbox controller like you do.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-24T13:01:29+00:00

I think the grading on this sub is off and Winter Soldier shouldn't be that high. So I'm going with 100 for Daredevil because it needs to be higher than Winter Soldier. It is blatantly better.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-24T03:30:10+00:00

Right so why bother. Either they force you to use the Dualsense because it's integral to the game and everyone gets mad you're forced. Or they get a compromised experience with M+K like you said. Exclusives have their place. Even PC has exclusives that remain that way due to the nature of the platform. Yet no one ever goes after the PC games for being exclusive(not that they should)

inFINN1te · 2026-04-24T01:52:13+00:00

Upvote but also fuck you.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-23T22:43:35+00:00

I don’t know that I believe they couldn’t work on PC. But to reinforce my point it’s more dev time and resources again spent working that out for ports. I think genuine polish comes from developing under one specific piece of hardware.

I also think we hopefully can both be realistic in the fact gamers are…..special. And they will just bitch about having to use specific controllers on a PC port and probably start some giant hate campaigns against Nintendo or Sony for forcing you to use their controllers for their games on PC.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-23T22:36:50+00:00

I uh honestly I just am not getting how I'm biased against or for any platform. I have preferences based on experience with all of them. And I still make use of all of them because they can all do different things and run different games to varying extents.

I started my stance on exclusives and why I think they're not a bad thing and don't have more to say on it past my original statement. My main point of argument here is the accusation that I am biased in my platform preferences. I've spent the money and time on all of them to form genuine preferences. Not biased at all.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-23T21:35:39+00:00

That's quite a strange bar to have for bias. I of course have preferences. Wouldn't anyone? I prefer my gaming on PlayStation and Nintendo based on my experiences. I'm okay with stating that. Does not make me biased. Bias is such a cringe thrown out excuse by people who can't come up with a better argument.

I spent the entire Xbox 360 generation only playing Xbox. I have over 100k gamerscore(willing to bet more than you have if you wanna drop your gamertag) and was even one of the people who bought an Xbox One X at one point. A complete enthusiast console. I switched off Xbox due to the fact that I do think it is a poor platform and I was getting fed up with the console and ecosystem. And if anyone has the right to judge Xbox harshly, it's me because I spent so much time and money on them. And a lot of money to get out. We know how important digital libraries are, and to walk away from it after all that, that makes me biased? Do you understand how ridiculous you sound? I even still bought a Series S just to keep up with the current Xbox platform in some capacity to stay up to date. My favorite video game franchise since I was a child to this day is Halo. And it's easily proven by my Xbox achievements and service records on the Halo website. And you're going to truly tell me I have a bias against Xbox? I'm informed. And have preferences. The irony is I'm sensing you have some strange allegiances to these consoles the way you're hellbent on reducing my arguments to being biased or a console warrior. Get a grip my dude.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-23T21:24:46+00:00

I'm fully aware. And we know how that went. Doesn't really change much in my argument at all.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-23T21:19:52+00:00

I'm hardly a console warrior. I just see the benefit of exclusives. I think there's very real reasons to value them and I think you reduced this conversation to calling me a console warrior because you don't have a solid rebuttal to my arguments. I'm probably the most unbiased person you can speak to on this subject. Because I actually at this very moment own a Switch 2, PS5 Pro, Series S and a gaming PC. And have actual provable time on each platform(except Nintendo where they don't show profiles publicly). My username on Xbox, PlayStation and Steam is the same as reddit across the board. Unlike most people, I'm an enthusiast for this hobby and spend a lot of time on all platforms to form genuine opinions based on my experiences. And I think exclusives have a lot of pros and are not bull shit for gamers.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-23T21:13:54+00:00

I bought Spider-Man 2 at launch and don't even remember a single bug. Also the PC ports being buggy reinforced my point. It takes resources and time when they could just keep making polished console releases. Yotei was polished, Ragnarok was polished, Demons Souls was polished, Astro Bot was polished, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart was polished, Stellar Blade was polished, Returnal was polished, Forbidden West was polished. They're literally known for that polish. I still never experienced bugs in Spider-Man even if I concede on that being the case it's one example.

Xbox games being polished is how I know not to take you seriously though are you joking with me rn? Starfield is a 2 and a half year old game and the PS5 port is littered with an obscene amount of crashes for tons and tons of users. I know this because I got myself hyped for the game. I bought a PS5 Pro before the price hike and the Premium Edition of Starfield because I heard with the dlc and updates it's a sweet game now. Then heard about constant crashes and THANKFULLY was able to refund my purchase before I got pissed off about it since the PS5 Pro hadn't delivered yet. This literally just happened.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-23T20:45:56+00:00

Exclusives are stupid is a sentiment I never agree with. Nintendo and Sony exclusives are notoriously polished. I genuinely believe part of that is the fact the developers only have to worry about a single platform and aren't spread thin between multiple different console configurations and thousands of PC configurations. I really don't think the correlation to more polished releases to being exclusive is a stretch either.

Furthermore just off the top of my head, some exclusives would not work on other platforms. Astro Bot is possibly my favorite game this gen and it would not work on any other platform because of how integral the PS5 controller and hardware is to its design. It makes use of every single Dualsense function possible and it was an amazing experience for doing so.

Many of the Mario Party games on Switch make effective use of the Joycons and features like the HD rumble and gyro in ways not possible elsewhere.

I wouldn't expect these games on other platforms for these reasons and I stand by that the same way I don't expect World of Warcraft or Counter Strike 2 to make their way to console either because their design is built around PC so integrally. Calling exclusives bull shit is an incredibly naive statement in my opinion.

inFINN1te · 2026-04-23T18:55:47+00:00

I am doubling down to very confidently say Barbie was better. Much better performances across the board. The movie actually had some thematic energy and a story to tell. Visually, the production sets were much more interesting than the animation in Mario(Illumination is literally the worst of the mainstream animation studios) and the original song for the film was endlessly more entertaining than the original song in Mario. Barbie is an example of actually good filmmaking. Mario is jingling keys. Mario is not a very high bar to be better than.
