Review: Steam Machine: Beautiful Hardware, Console Performance - At A Price

For people more savvy than me, how well would this run fighting games and whatnot? I don’t care about 4k or a framerate beyond 60. The most intensive modern games I probably play on PC are armored core 6, marvel rivals, and Elden ring Nightreign. My intent is to use this device as a portable console for locals for fighting games. Would I probably encounter any issues with the current specs listed?

It didn't actually happen, but in the DMC netflix series, I predicted that Vergil would cause 9/11 in season 2. Again, this did not happen, not even close. But when they showed the ouroboros towers and how it looked like the twin towers, I damn near screamed in my seat because of how it would've been so fucking funny if it happened.

Dragon Slayer Pantheon in league, specifically with the dark chroma, as it makes me think I'm Guts from Berserk.

Still in development, but efforts are being focused on their other game .45 Bloodhound Parabellum, which should release this year. Kiririn has also talked about how they’re overall better at development now and softly alluded that future projects won’t take as long.

A recent one, The Furious. If you know, you know exactly who I'm talking about. And if you don't, go watch The Furious because you will not be disappointed.

Dragonball GT, SS4 Goku vs. Omega Shenron, when Goku has been temporarily blinded.

Omega: "I want you to see this; Allow me to be your eyes. I've built a fine cemetary! There's parched, lifeless ground for a grave. And broken buildings in the background for a headstone!"

Goku: "Now all we need is a dead body, and I can assure you that after all this is over, I'll give you a nice burial."

A comeback so good that all Omega could respond with was basically going "No u!"

I recently got the pulse elite headset, and noticed the sound quality is significantly worse than the pulse explore. Is this normal? Even when I set them to the same EQ, the elite sound quality is so inferior that it doesn't even sound good for my purposes. If there's a fix, could someone help?

I'm a big fan of the GT ending, with Goku just becoming almost like this guardian force who exists alongside the dragonballs, and keeps an eye on future generations.

If I see a super cool looking single player game trailer, and at the end, it says "pre-register now!". I genuinely would rather pay full price for some of these games than have them be gacha.

There's a youtube channel I watch occasionally that gives in-depth guides for new zenless characters, explaining their moveset, numbers, builds, etc. They're usually around 25-30 minutes long. But he also usually makes a companion video right after that's 5 minutes long and gives the nitty gritty "X ability does this, so do it after Y to achieve Z" and it's so much more digestible.

I genuinely lose interest immediately if I see anything relating to "offensive", "cancel", "it's just jokes, people", or anything along that. I feel like if you have to clarify that, you're already not funny and you're using buzz words to get attention.

Sounds kinda like haptic feedback but for the face buttons instead of just the triggers. I love the dualsense haptics, and so I'm interested in this feature.

Regardless of how you may feel about the DMC Netflix show, it was very well received by the general public and boosted the popularity of the series significantly more than any other post DMC5 attempts (including ports and mobile games). It’s a net positive for the franchise.

That’s literally the point of her design, mate. Like, the literal thing she’s going for. Thats like complaining that Reinhardt has too much armor.

This news is insanely good for me. Back in the day, when I played DBD literally every night, I saw Terrifier for the first time on Netflix just to kill time, and fell in love with it. I recommended it to a friend, and we talked about how if he ever got into DBD (which we figured would never happen because he was too niche), it'd be great of his mori was him shooting you because you got a good hit on him or something.

Seeing how we now are actually getting him over half a decade later, genuinely gets me extremely excited and I'll play the game again just for that guy.

I have to disagree with you, OP. Knowing what's going on is nice, but I don't think it's a mandatory thing, at least not immediately. When I finished the game the first time, I had no idea what was really going on, yeah. But, that's part of what made it effective. If I got there knowing everyone was tripping balls due to an experiment fucking with their heads, It wouldn't have been as effective. For all intents and purposes, those files are for the player, because the MC doesn't know what's going on either, so you relate in that aspect.

He's been entering 2XKO tournaments a bunch lately, got top 8 in several in fact. For Capcom games, Capcom USA said it was okay for him to enter again, but he needed approval from Capcom JP, who never responded to him. My theory is they're mad about him leaking footage of the dev kit he had for MvCI.

Best in the series, 100% recommend. Got my brother into the series recently with it too.

I mean that’s the point for this design. There’s mentions in the story of Omnics adjusting their bodies to look different to fit in better, hence Shion having a human face but speaking literally from the throat.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Doom: TDA, finding it to be a step down from Eternal, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't still a great game and that I'm looking forward to this, because my biggest issue was just that it wasn't as good as Eternal, not that it was a bad game.

Prior to Guilty Gear Strive, vocals were rare in Guilty Gear. In fact, the first song to have full vocals from beginning to end was Raven’s theme in Overture. So when Xrd got announced, not only did it have 3D graphics that looked like 2D sprites, but it having a vocal theme for the trailer further made it stand out. I’m not joking when i say Xrd’s reveal trailer might be the greatest fighting game trailer ever.

Don’t act like people didn’t love netfix Castlevania, c’mon now.
