Oh yeah that happened
And retards acted like it was somehow the death of steam.
>>743377429This is what killed steam
Retards acted like this was going to kill consoles lmao
the biggest nothing burger of all time?
>>743377429My laptop was 650 and has basically the same performance.I'm disappointed in it already and 16gb of ram and 8gb vram are already a problem
steam cultists would prefer that you ignore all the hype about its existence since it's only an overpriced but mediocre spec 'portable' pc in the endpeople gushed more about the steam deck than this in the first month of orders shipping lmao
>>743378332If you don't play Indies the steam deck is a paperweight
*Mario dancing . webm*I'm still buying corporate product!
gaben should fire his marketing team
>>743378291Yeah but you're playing on a laptop. Lmao.>>743378117At $750 it would have. Its very plug and play and you don't even need to fuck with Linux desktop. Unironically it would have been Timmys first "I watched porn on my PSP" moment.
I'm saving up for one
>>743377429You don't have to buy a Steam Machine when you can just *build* one yourself
>>743378616>At $750 it would haveIf you mean before DRAM crisis, no it wouldn't, the consoles would be cheaper then they're now without the crisis too
>>743378616laptops have hdmi outputs faggot
>>743377429Valve is botting up Palflop to divert attention from the biggest console flop in history, the Steam Machine.
>>743378413Yeah, the Deck is really showing it's age because games are not really designed for it like, say, the Switch 1 having dedicated versions of games. Its still good for a long of games. I just got Indiana Jones on it the other night and it works really well because it has its own Deck settings because idTech is based. Best of all is that you can just stream it on your home network from an actual PC and it works pretty flawlessly because it's not pinging some sever somewhere. Like I tried the game on Amazon Luna and even though it looked fantastic you could feel the delay because I had a hard time countering punches.
>>743378621just buy a laptop or use steam link for free bre. this is priced for people who made money off of skins and want to cash out their steam wallet funds
>>743378572Everyone in this picture is too white, straight and masculine to post on here. What were they thinking?
>>743378679And yet you're still playing on a laptop. Lmao. Believe me, I did that shit years ago with an external keyboard and mouse, and then the VGA slot for a monitor. As much as it worked, those components are that laptop shell are just not made for games like a desktop. (Later in life I would just use a regular PC plugged into a big ass TV and sit on the couch with wireless keyboard and mouse, it was ludokino)
>>743378784But forgot to mention, it's like 120GB which is half of my internal memory. Meanwhile the Switch 2 version is like 50GB.
>>743378782>consoleIt's literally a prebuilt PC
>>743378572>fire his marketing team for catering to steams main audience ??????
>>743379076if they are the audience, why didn't they buy the steam machine
>>743378784>Best of all is that you can just stream it on your home network from an actual PC and it works pretty flawlesslyyou can use moonlight on pretty much any phoneat this point if the device loads youtube 1080p without constant buffering from the cpu/gpu shitting itself, it can stream games from your local networkthis is not a high bar for the fag deck
>>743378954if you hide the steam machine, the laptop, steam deck, rog ally or chinese portable pc and give the player the controller they will not know which machine is being played onyour past xperience with intel hd graphics and being a retard to use a keyboard to play games wouldn't change anything
>>743378572That's what you get when you hire a professional ad company and don't care enough to redo everything.
>>743378616No choice I'm a truck driver do you expect me to use a full PC?
>>743379231>why didn't they buy the steam machine>waitlist because so many people trying to buy itOkay
>>743379231Cause valve barely made any units
>>743379297Except unlike your fagphone the steam deck is already equipped with an actual controller with buttons, you subhuman.>You can just le sync a controller to your phone!!Then what's the fucking point? I might as well just play on the TV and have that controller synced to the PC.
>>743377429I don't think anybody except the people who thought an overpriced prebuilt would be the end of Valve cared to begin with.
>>743379428Get a Switch 2, Saar.
>>743378836>this is priced for people who made money off of skins and want to cash out their steam wallet fundsI understand that you watched a youtube video and are too much of an NPC to think for yourself, but the steam deck already exists, so it would be retarded to do it with this.
>>743379542I don't play Nintendo games never have
>>743379426That's honestly the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Like right away I thought "did Valve outsource this?". It felt like the AD agency were really trying hard to get the Nitendo Switch audience look Deck and Steam Machine advertising and it doesn't feel very Valve.
>>743379598Are you European or Slav or some shit? Makes sense.
got it as my first non windows PC to see what its like away from microslop
>>743379426>n-no valve weren't involved guiz!!!Valve cultist will always blame someone else when Valve do something woke
>>743379573>a handheld has the same audience as a mini pc?
>>743379573>>743378836I ironically got the Deck + Dock for free by selling CS skins. I'm shocked that someone is willing to pay $50+ for a colored gun.
>>743379684Yes
>>743379056Valve faggots called it GabeCube. Notice that Valve is obsessed with Nintendo?
>>743378206Same as everything Valve does.
>>743379838PC + Nintendo since Sega died has been the only way to properly play games, anon. Its why we also called the Deck the Gabe Gear. When you have a PC you understand Sony and Microsoft hardware in a big way is useless. Yeah there are retards that emulate Switch 1 but they do so with rendering errors. I lmao Everytime some idiot posts screenshots of their epic 4k version with clear missing assets.
>>743380001>Gabe Gear.Never heard that term in my life.
>>743377429Yeah, and it sold gangbusters in japan as expected, and provoked the clone makers to clone make.I don't know if you remember, but the original steam machine plan was to have a bunch of manufacturers making their own steam machine, and now, now keikaku doori
>>743377429Still top selling.
>>743377429it would be worth it under 800 but this shit is like literally 10 frames above buying a i7 4770k from like 2012 and putting in a gtx 1080 ti loli might get it cus they lawfared off both my 10 seiries pcs and theres no shops around here that wont tamper anything i buy but wtf valveshouldve gone for closer to desktop 7600
>>743378006dude unironically their rep went down cuz of steam deck price increasesteam machine being meh and expensive did tooi dont think it wouldve if the machine was like 750 thoi blame sam altman lol
>>743377429I want one but ofc I can't buy it.
>>743380168You are >300 lbs
Im enjoying mind
>>743380089Lurk more, fren.>>743380340Yeah but there's no way you can get 2TB and 16GB of RAM at a decent price. There's no way you can get a PC as small as the SM.
My only question is what the fuck am I supposed to do with the extra two faceplates?
>>743377429Explain this to me. It's just a low end PC? what's the point of this?
>>743377429Gaben needs a new yacht, so you better buy it
>>743381426A bit more than that, give or take.Was supposed to get out in 1999, but you guys didn't did the fancy glass domes so.
>>743377429Last words before disaster>They obviously priced the Steam Deck like that to subsidize the Steam Machine
>>743381760It's small,hence why it sells well in japan.
It's got an LED strip, ya'll!
>>743378782Sit this one out, tendie.
>PS5 Slim up to firmware 7.61>jailbreak>flash CachyOS>???>profit
>>743382523It's still fucking huge, and the jailbreakable machines will go up in price.But that do make the PS5 a lot better instantly.
>>743381632lol no i have found ebay pcs with a 3tb hdd and 16 gb of ram for like 200i7 8700 pcs with 16gb of ram go for under 150 lol1070 1080 are under 100 toopriced above 850 the steam machines a scam loldesu tho their price is better than it could be
>>743378661I hope you enjoy troubleshooting
>>743382523why would you do that when u can wait and hack it and not deal with pc os lag lolif you want that kinda device look for a pc that can be upgraded from like ryzen 1400 to a 1700 or 2700then throw in a gtx 1080 or 7600 xt
>>743378661yeah lets all buy used mining hardware that most games wont run on that loses to a 1070 lol
>>743377429in a better market.....for better specs what case would you use instead of this?
>>743378782Off the top of my head Ouya and Stadia both would have a better claim to that. There's more orders for the Steam Cube than Valve can fulfill, while those previous two couldn't even sell their initial stock.
i'm convinced that it should've been using a zen3 cpu, 2x8 ddr4 configuration and a 9060xt gputhat way it's beating the ps5 pro while being acceptably priced
>>743383087>pc os lag lolPerformance wise linux and the native games are pretty much the same shit on the PS5.I guess not using Windows and DirectX12 does help quite a bit.
>>743378006this only killed interest in future Valve hardware.But they just need to wait another decade and try again.
>>743380406Everyone knows there is a corrupt hardware cartel manufacturing a hardware crisis to increase prices for the next ten years. They're actually starting to be sued for some of their actual crimes.Steam didn't increase it's prices, jewish billionaires enforced a mandatory hardware premium that you need to pay.Plus if you missed out on steam deck early on that's on you, it's been out for years now. I've already bought my entire family steam decks. Even my mom likes it because it's touch screen and I put her favorite apps in the game mode also she started liking video games after they made video game tv shows not because her son has good tastes and has explained that games are literally fun and that writing them off as "kid shit toy" is absurd. I genuinely think my mom thought I was a retarded autist obsessed with like toy story or something equivalently puerile. I am a retarded autist, but I played black souls and fear and hunger. She just likes last of us and red dead redeption, she tried fall out but it required too much skill.I didn't get on the list to get the steam machine, but to be honest I'd only get it to see if it offers anything, and probably set it up as a home media device because of the fast boot and the steam os. I think my family would like that. But in terms of a PC to stream to the steam frame obviously you want something stronger like my current rig. Luckily I updated it just before the hardware crisis.
>>743383608I'd shit on you for blogposting but that was wholesome so cheers anon
Good competitive opportunity but they got shaftedAlso it just seems very unnecessary. Just like the steam VR thing. Who even does VR anymore
>>743380406I don't think it matters that much, but apparently some people genuinely thought Gaben is like the Santa Clause of PC gaming or whatever, so at least this proved them wrong?
>>743378661Buying that is a dumb idea unless you love tinkering about as much as the average Gentoo user.
>>743380406It only went down with retards that can't see that the purchasing power of the dollar is in free fall and that hardware went up 400% in recent monthsSo basically just children who don't pay rent or food or any other kind of bills
>>743378784name one game worth playing it can't play
>>743377429>It will be under $1000>It doesn't need to come with a controller>It doesn't need HDMI 2.1 they are going to patch it>1440 is perfectly fine, ignore that the use case is a TV which all run at 4k now>They never said it was supposed to be a console replacement!>Blame the AI companies!>You just don't understand, you aren't the target audience>You don't like it because you are brown / post hand>It is going to sell out anyways>It sold out because of scalpers and AI datacenters>You are just poor if you aren't going to buy it>I am going to buy one anyways, I don't care what people say...>1 month later: I am forgotten^^^^ you are here
>>743377429I still love the idea of an affordable, easy to use, entry level PC by a reputable brand, that can serve as an industry standard, but man those RAM prices really fucked the Steam Machine's potential hard up the ass.
>>743377429rent free lol
>>743377429it would be great if it wasn't for the haters!
Is it true it is mogged by the macbook neo in gaming?
>>743385429look at what the bigots and transphobes took from you
>>743377429>can't play modern games in 60 fps on High>strictly a 720p machine>sold for 1500 burgercoinsWho was this shit for? Any normslime willing to shell out 1.5k USD would likely just get himself a console.

>>743377429Don't the sand niggers pray to this stupid thing?
>>743378572Gabe is set for multiple lifetimes.He doesn't care about anything except this yacht collection.
>>743380406You know it's honestly insane the level of delusion that retards that sperg out Valve are operating under.Everyone knows PC parts are fucked right now and the AI shit is fucking literally everyone, and they'll try to sell you that there is a significant portion of people that solely blame Valve for why they, like everyone else, even major OEMs who are scrambling to figure out how they're going to sell the markups on everything going to hit the market in a couple years when their own contracts run out, and it's not even that Valve doesn't have problems or shit they're doing "wrong" that's annoying, they do, but mental cases literally can't point to an actual real issue that Valve has because they're just so delusional.It's never>Hey, Valve should dump literally all the chinese data from the hardware survey since they bot that shit and the poisoned data is totally worthless to actual users and developers>You know, maybe the AI disclosure policy was a BAD idea because now you have thousands of "games" that actual users have to filter through to find anything worth playing.>Like 90% of the reason you finally put out Source 2 was because you recognized that it's a problem for your software to be partially reliant on third party software that could be bought by hostile "competition" why the fuck is garry newman the middleman for what is effectively the Source 2 Base SDK and why aren't linux tools available for CS:2/Dota 2/Alyx/SteamHome.>You have an ENTIRE color scheme system that goes along with Game Profiles and people miss skins, why is it exclusively used to skin the ui in the big picture render for someone's profile?It's always shit like>Erm how come Valve hasn't solved cheating??? (This is an unsolvable problem, and anyone remotely suggesting any populated multiplayer game these days doesn't have a cheating problem is a liar)
>>743388090>Everyone knows PC parts are fucked right nowthe steam cube goes way beyond that, it is both underpowered and overpriced at the same time.
Can someone explain why they didn't just make a steam deck with better performance? I think they're betting that people aren't stupid and that they'll realize AAAA games are garbage messes that won't be played much and only the low-high end games indie are the future over ultra AAAA games?
>>743389018>Can someone explain why they didn't just make a steam deck with better performance?For the size and spec it's pretty pointless.
>>743389572Like maybe if that x86/amd64 over arm stuff does translate into considerable battery life improvements with relatively low performance loss maybe there'd be a reason to put out a new model, but as it stands there really isn't a reason to make a "more powerful steamdeck" that isn't a practical concern for anyone not doing stupid shit like benchmarking some UE5 garbage on it.
>>743377429I sold mine for 2k. I'm going to buy another.
>>743378616>Yeah but you're playing on something that's actually portable, has a screen, and a keyboard and trackpad, Lmao.
>>743391919>I am a very intelligent antishill you should hating the gabecube because unlike your computor which has all the peripherals you use, it doesn't have a keyboard and a trackpad and a screen.This is just the stupid shit people were saying about the steam deck again.
>>743382976Ah yes, burnt out PCs and AI/crypto mining parts. Wonderful.>>743384765Donkey Kong Bananza. GOTEM AHAHAHAHAHAH.>>743391919>Flimsy ass screen>Battery that lasts 1 hour so must always be plugged in>Gets extremely hot because it's not really meant to be for games>The most shitty stock keyboard that you need to get an external>Stuck with a shitty touch pad or nipple mouseNah man.
>>743381695Sell them if you don't want them. I've seen a lot of people that bought the 512gb version looking to buy them. The walnut one is more popular, unsurprisingly, but I've seen a handful of people looking for the red one too.
>>743382267What heading would you have used in that section instead?
>>743393005>It even has an LED strip!Or something less gay.
>>743377429Oh yeah that happened
>>743383178If you're building your own? The best you can do is an ITX and accept that it'll be 2-3 times bigger. The Fractal Terra looks nice but it's much longer. You can get a slim one like the Ridge to squeeze it into a narrow space. The Mood has a similar footprint and profile liketo the Xbox SX while fitting mATX components. I recall that last one having garbage thermal design though. Small form factor is kind of a strange market where everything costs more despite you getting less. So much so that there are boutique case designers that can cost considerable more than the familiar brands.
>>743379838Its because the Gamecube was the last console with soul.
>>743383340These sorts of products get their specs locked in years before they actually hit the market. This weren't available when the Steam Machine were in development. It was coincidentally awful timing in both development and release, though. That architecture upgrade would have been a huge boon and still could have been released in the same time frame, considering its back to back release delays.
>>743378006Really? The first production run sold out. I'm still on the waiting list. You are projecting your own feelings onto everyone. The funny thing is most steam users aren't even halfway aware that the SteamMachine existAt the end of the day the important thing is the SteamOS
>>743383512People are still queued up to buy the machine and controller as quickly as they can produce them. I haven't seen any diminished interest in the Frame.
>>743383512They wont last another decade. Microsoft will gobble them up and destroy them.
>>743389018Because power efficient parts capable of substantially outperforming it don't exist and battery tech hasn't come far enough to compensate.
>>743395128I'm not convinced Microsoft will still be a notable player in the gaming market a decade from now. They very well may be, but it seems like 50/50 odds from what I'm seeing.
>>743377429It will come back into the game when the PS6 gets listed for 1200 but you get free Laufey (lol)
>>743395128>>743396081It is terminal from the cancer of jeetery. It is however so giant and solidly established that its collapse can take more than a decade, but it is inevitable. The bigger the thing, the longer it takes, but a jeet is a cancer nonetheless
>>743396112Online will also go up to 20 bucks a month on ps6
>>743377429> sold outyep, it happened
>>743378117it's literally sold out - jewish shill thread>>743379490these are shill threads, anon - wall street makes no money off valve therefore every viral marketing ad firm is against them
>>743377429The console killer… killed itself…
>>743379428What a shit job that must be
why did they think people wanted to pay a huge premium for a tiny size?
>>743377429I knew JouYa was scam from the very start.
>>743398137>it's literally sold out - jewish shill threadhow many units sold
