You could have just asked and then you wouldn’t have to go hide behind a transparent facade.

Seems like you just proved my point.

Let’s assume it’s real. Do you identify yourself with any of your past lives?
- Comment on If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse. 1 day ago:
Even if reincarnation is real, it really wouldn’t be you living as a cockcroach.

“Overweight people are unhealthy”. Is that racist?
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 2 weeks ago:
Your statement was predicated on something you misunderstood. Hence the question: What do you think racism is?
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 2 weeks ago:
Reading comprehension is hard, I know.

Stereotypes are not racism.

As always, you don’t hate X, you hate capitalism. Replace X with almost anything.

Reverse-racism is not a thing.

Oh, shit. I left out hugely important context. This happened in Mexico so it’s probably neither of those.

Twice I got my face plastered on the flyers of a conference because none of the other speakers looked Mexican enough. I still don’t know if should have been offended.
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 3 weeks ago:
Depends. I’d love to say go with GOG whenever possible but they have some utter shit in their store. Like, old versions of games with bugs that were patched years ago or just plain don’t work. Dragon’s Dogma where online is completely broken comes to mind. So, I guess find out which version is the best on a game-per-game basis? I realize how much of a fucking non-answer this is and I’m sorry to have wasted your time.

Sometimes I conjure up the delusion that having a big feline is doable if raised from birth because my little feline is such an adorable baby that she shows her belly to literally everyone she sees even when she’s never met them. But even this cute ball of fluff will dig her claws into my leg to avoid falling when she rolls over while napping on my lap. Imagine if those claws were 4 cm.

- Comment on Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil? 4 weeks ago:
Just jump right into 7. 8 is kinda like 7 but more action oriented. Still pretty fun. Then go RE2 Remake and RE4 Remake. They’re the best in the entire series. Then play original 4 again and realize I lied to you and that one is still the best.

Ethan, NO.

Yes, you are definitely bringing nothing constructive with your goalpost moving.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
No, it’s a thread about the market differences between the PS3 and the Steam Machine. You’re just being in your obsession with being right.

What’s stopping them from throwing a blanket over the shelf and just posting the same notice on the blanket? That’s what I mean by toothless law.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Ah, brilliant argument. Shall I take this as your agreement that $750 is not console pricing?
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
It’s not a console in the same way the Steam Deck isn’t a Switch competitor. I get what you’re saying but putting “console price” at over $750 would just mesh it with PC pricing and then the distinction would be meaningless.

You’re quoting someone else.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 4 weeks ago:
Yes, it is riskier. That’s not my point, though. It is that telling people “just don’t do that” isn’t helpful.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 4 weeks ago:
Umm, actually. All proprietary software is unethical and introduces huge risks to your PC. People should stop playing any game that has such closed closed source.

That PC at microcenter is much faster than the Steam Machine.
Here’s some benchmarks for the 7600M, that has the exact same specs as the GPU in the Steam Machine.

Here’s some benchmarks for a 9060XT which is the GPU on your link:
notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-9060-XT-16GB-Benc…
And here’s some benchmarks for a desktop 7600 which is another card people are comparing the Steam Machine to:
notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-7600-Benchmarks-a…
In case anyone doesn’t wanna wade through the terrible way notebookcheck presents information, I’ll post the numbers for CyberPunk High Preset at 1080P just to give you an idea of the performance difference. Nothing particular about why I chose that game, it’s just the first I found that was on all 3 links:
RX7600M: 62.3 FPS RX7600: 90.1 FPS RX9060XT: 127.2 FPS
If we set the 7600M as 100%, then the 7600 and 9060XT are 144.6% and 204.1% respectively.
I think people are thinking the Steam Machine will be way faster and that’s why they’re coming up with these outrageous prices.

Only one of those 3 consoles is comparable to the Steam Machine. You can’t grab a product from a different segment in the market and lump it in with the rest just because they’re the same kind of product. If that were the case, I could just look at a ThinkCentre and say “see? $200 is PC pricing” but that would be insane because nobody looking to buy a ThinkCentre would consider a Steam Machine – just like nobody looking to buy a PS5 Pro or the disc-version of the PS5 will consider a Steam Machine either. So yes, youe failure to consider market segments means that you are wrong.

It’s easier to bitch about the woes of a thing I already don’t like than to have to make any effort in changing my habits, mmkay?

No, buddy. English is also not my first language and you write like shit. You’re also an asshole about it, have a victim complex and are a hypocrite. You’re just an all around shitty human being.
