Half the posts I see on lemmy about this are incredibly out of touch with mainstream gamers and consumers and I’m getting second hand embarrassment from it.
Most people do not want to tinker with their shit at all, and the proportion of people that care about display port vs hdmi is probably about the same they want exactly what you said, ease of a console with the nimble power of a PC. This is exactly that
Kinda surprised by all the trouble folks have had with Xbox controllers, my experience has been smooth as on any console
Folks that would/could do that are not the folks this seems geared towards IMO, and I think it may whoosh a lot of us on Lemmy because in general we like to tinker and figure tech out, that’s obviously not ubiquitous, but the vast majority of people(read consumers) do not want that at all. I also suspect the Steam Machine will be priced right around $500 to compete with the PS5, depending on their sales expectations they could legit make this a loss leader.
More likely geared towards the average PC gamer that just wants to play games and doesn’t give a fuck about OSS or Linux in addition to lifelong console gamers that prefer controllers on couch gaming but are interested in all the other perks/freedoms that PCs offer. I was in the latter group about a year ago when I bought my deck.
If this is legit and dental industry doesn’t try to drown it in a bathtub I’ll be fucking shocked.

There is straight up no time to get the wheels properly in time to prevent significant effects. And once the feedback loops kick in there’s almost no way to stop the cascading
I love the idea of the Doctor being the guide to other sci-fi/fantasy universes
You know someone once told me that time was a flat circle
Where is that true, before Covid I could get out of waho for under 13 no problem with a drink? Crackers Barrerl was always at least 20
I thought it was a stupid and pointless business move or potentially a publicity stunt. And I’ll admit I’d be slightly bummed to walk into Cracker Barrel sit down and not see the peg game or all the weird old country store bullshit because nostalgias a bitch. But like it’s not even good southern cooking, the only things good there were fried chicken livers and breakfast food. The former can be found in any southern town with much higher quality and Waffle House exists and is generally really close to most Cracker Barrel’s for the latter.
Purrodynamics was right there
Here’s a scarier thought, if they can fine tune this shit enough they’ll probably just clone themselves and pull a ship of Theseus on themselves. Removing the only remaining equalizer between them and the rest of humanity.
The rich fucks at the top want to become gods. They won’t call it that but that’s the end game for the ones with the most hand on the wheel.

Not enough people are aware of just how evil Peter Theil really is
Was just about to say, “wasn’t this the plot of what I thought was a shitty scarjo flick from 10+ years ago”?
This is really insightful and very good advice
It fucking sucks how much this point illustrates the reality of this time. But it’s upsettingly accurate
I was just thinking everything seems to either be in decline, stagnation, or regression.
It’s crazy to me that COD is still doing the exact same thing they’ve been doing since I stopped enjoying them ten years ago.
This is how I’ve always felt, it’s a good game by any measure, but it’s not the world changing breakthrough they try to hail it as
