I’m happy for anyone who gets one of these Steam Machine “killers” because if this suits their needs, they never wanted a Steam Machine in the first place.

It leaves more available for the people who actually want a Steam Machine because they know what it is.

Just had a look and they’re still in business, although they were acquired by Embracer Group, so… Tick-tick.

But yeah, you’re right that even companies like that will go the way of the dodo if consoles abandon physical media.

I mean, that’s basically what Limited Run Games do.

“An outside enemy exists only if there is anger inside.”

Go eat some lettuce and have sex.

And I used to be like you, then an 11 year old ran me and my fellow monks over with a car.

Now I’m a bunny rabbit!

You sound uptight. You should chill out, maybe meditate.

I know knew some guys who could have helped with that.

I guess I forgot to think of how their wives and children must be feeling.

Attend the tale of Sweeny Tim,

His dick was small and his mind was dim.

I know they won’t, but Microsoft has the chance to do something hilarious right now.

Why?

For one, that’s a hell of a responsibility to give others, even well meaning others. I wouldn’t want my friends to feel they had to speak on my behalf, nor would I do so on theirs. I’d say that’s a healthy level of respect to have in a friendship.

But to a larger point: Why are you so concerned about conversations others may or may not be having about you?

Just to rephrase the point you just made: You’re so worried that people who don’t know you well enough to be sure of your preferred pronouns may be misgendering you with non-gendered pronouns, that you hope others will correct them on your behalf.

This is, at minimum, overthinking, and at worst a deeply unhealthy mindset to have.

The kindest thing I can say is that whether or not you consider this a problem, it’s at least a rare one; nobody talks about you as much as you think. People’s favourite topics of discussion are themselves, and the odds are this doesn’t happen even a fraction as much as you think.

Yes, you are overthinking and should definitely stop getting offended and/or speaking on behalf of others, especially in scenarios where people are going out of their way to try to be polite.

At best you look like you’re going out of your way to be offended.

In canon, no.

IRL, RTD didn’t want to deal with viewers laughing at David wearing “women’s” clothes, even though Jodie’s outfit was fairly unisex IMO.

I expect the size difference would have been more of a practical issue.

All the toilets in my dreams are broken or otherwise unusable. It’s deeply frustrating at the time, but I guess I should be thankful.

When asked why they didn’t change course when they saw the truck heading for them, the monks replied that change must come from within.

That they could let marketing act as legal and everything would shake out fine in the end because they’re so “cool”.

Honestly, it’s nice to see them fuck things up so badly they’re forced to drop the edgelord marketing bollocks.

I think we all hoped AI would mean more convincing worlds and characters, what we got is effectively the opposite with a nice side dish of job losses and environmental catastrophe.

If Tim Sweeny told me the sky was blue, I would, At the very least, double check.

Did the math on the dimensions and it’s nearly three times the volume of the Steam Machine, while likely being a lot hotter and louder.

I’d love to see an actual performance head-to-head, because I bet this thing throttles HARD unless you blast the fans to max.
