- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 2 weeks ago:
On the Windows platform, Valve has to do what Microsoft decides. If Microsoft decides all apps are required to go through the Microsoft store app then Valve would be toast.
- Comment on Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console 2 weeks ago:
Lol, my dumb computer is running DDR3 / no TPM, it’s super old. I have been waiting for video cards to get better/cheaper. I’m totally down with not the fastest. If it plays 90% of my games, costs less than $600. I just read that it’s six times more powerful than the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck can run Cyberpunk 2077, so this will do just fine. Another thing that I really like is that Valve is verifying games for their hardware. The games it can’t run, I guess I won’t play. I’m sold!

- Comment on The Sega Master System 2 weeks ago:
Totally! I got PS for Christmas and I was not really into it. I liked arcade action games. It must have sat around for like 6 months and then I gave it a Saturday morning try and I was hooked. It’s a great game.

- Comment on Finally got a Gensis (Megadrive) after years of wanting one! 2 months ago:
The Genesis is such a great console. I love how it really tried to bring the arcade home. Street Fighter 2, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Strider, Air Buster, Out Run and come to mind.
