Date: December 13th, 2013 12:05 PM Author: canary irradiated property selfie I love basically everything Valve does and Steam is like my favorite thing ever, but I don't really understand what all this steambox/steam machine stuff is about. Can someone explain? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2441013&forum_id=2Reputation#24631631) |

the steam controller is overpriced as well. would be worth it at around $50-60 |

hell, even my laptop 3060 stays at QHD 240hz 85% of the time. low settings obv. |

Date: June 22nd, 2026 4:57 PM Author: bat shit crazy karate he's talking about games like valorant which you can't play on linux because they force you to use a windows-only anticheat. iirc they will ban you even if you try to play through a VM (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2441013&forum_id=2Reputation#49955987) |

Date: June 22nd, 2026 4:51 PM Author: pearly shrine biggest problem with the steam machine is that it is basically targeting PC desktop users instead of console users
people like me who exclusively game on PC will obv not be switching to a fucking $1000 3060 SFF pc. console users won't switch either bc even after xbox/ps5 increased prices, theyre still cheaper |
