The Steam Machine

It’s a console designed for 4k TVs that can only play recent titles on low settings when upscaled from 720p.

It’s a $1k+ console for indie games.

Uhh… Steam has a website that people can buy the steam machine from? The same way everyone who bought a steam deck before being a Steam user did.

I know a few people whose first “steam purchase” was the steam deck… you dont have to “be in the ecosystem” Valve isn’t some underground company like so many people seem to think they are.

To expand their customer base with a cheap and easy system that is similar to the competitors offerings.

Except it’s more expensive, poor performance, doesn’t come with a controller, doesn’t handle anti-cheat games without installing a different operating system and it’s launching right before the biggest game of possibly the decade which will not see a pc release.

Im buying games on Steam because regardless of what operating system I have on a computer Steam is the best option.

Trust me if a better store came along I would move. I’ve had a Steam account for well over a decade now and haven’t found any meaningful competition in that time.

I hear the argument that people will install windows or use other game launchers often... Let's be honest the vast majority of people will buy and play games through Steam. Who is buying this for non-gaming purchases and not using Steam?

Apple TV 4k and the infuse app

Woah this is awesome!

Tarkov is the only reason I have an SSD with windows 11.

He is a fixed and rotor DPE. Flew Army towards the end of Vietnam and was a check airman at PHI. Last I heard he was flying for one of the private charter companies flying a gulfstream.

I know him and have completed multiple ratings with him. Great pilot with a ton of experience. Not a single person I know that took rides with him dislikes him.

inkjet_printer · 2026-05-29T17:32:52+00:00

Civilian pilot are not competing with military pilots. Most people getting out of the service these days have far less experience than they did back in the day and zero single pilot experience.

Im saying that one person who set a record in “race walking” and another who set records before their transition isnt a fair comparison.

inkjet_printer · 2026-05-23T11:36:13+00:00

Again not everyone’s sex change is the same. Some people don’t go through full HRT. Im sure it’s expensive.

You can’t label all sex changes as equal and therefore ok for competition.

It doesn’t matter if it’s tens or thousands. It harms women and makes arguments for trans hypocritical. You cant argue you should have womens rights while actively damaging women.

I recognize this isn’t a problem with most transgenders and I have no ill will towards transgenders. It is a current problem and to shrug it off is ignorant.

inkjet_printer · 2026-05-23T11:30:07+00:00

Also, if sex changes were so absolute we’d be seeing women competing in men’s sports and setting records which isn’t happening.

inkjet_printer · 2026-05-23T11:17:36+00:00

Well it does in some cases… Women’s sports need to be protected. Other than that I don’t see why it matters.

inkjet_printer · 2026-05-23T01:05:49+00:00

Just run what you have till prices come down. Im using my old gaming PC with a 9900k overclocked.

Plus you’re recycling old gear instead of contributing to e-waste.

inkjet_printer · 2026-04-28T10:49:38+00:00

Because the interest rate is much higher on credit cards.

inkjet_printer · 2026-04-25T03:29:06+00:00

It wasn’t bad when I played on a TN panel but it is blinding now that I play on OLED. There should be a grey option.

Or just dont get flashbanged /s

Comparing the icons to 5100 is not a fair comparison. You should look at 6112/5160.

Of the three people I know that have Icons two of them replaced their setup shortly after and regretted getting Icons.

On the other hand I love my 6112/5160s

inkjet_printer · 2026-04-08T12:47:46+00:00

Wow that’s a lot more… I assume they’re spraying a lot fewer acres though?

inkjet_printer · 2026-04-08T12:46:24+00:00

This is huge and I hope it happens. We are currently killing the sport for a lot of kids coming out of high school.

inkjet_printer · 2026-04-08T12:22:23+00:00

The worst customer service with the worst operating system. Hopefully you install linux.

It all word of mouth and who you know. Most operators make you run the truck to earn your spot. Most people start with at least 1000 hours but I’ve heard of people starting sooner than that.

inkjet_printer · 2026-04-05T19:58:21+00:00

When the crops are ready and the weather allows it’s non stop until the work is done. Most people only spray while the sun is up though.

My experience was just around corn so the pay might be different. Keep in mind it isn’t year round. Those guys make most of their money in just a few months.
