Running the CPU and GPU at ~75% and 98% on Cyberpunk 2077 and keeping it at 65ºC is quite a feat, ngl

It looks like an Acaia scale....

On the thumbnail it looks like Xbox Series S to me.

[–] ctenidium@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Not to say that is bad thing - I like the design.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, that was definitely not a critique. I have a Series S myself (but to be honest not using it, got it from my bro) and find the design and look adorable. It's actually my favorite design of current gen consoles.

I didn't perceive it as critique, I guess we are d'accord!

Ha! What I came to say - neat!

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I like these console/PCs that people are coming up with. Its a somewhat more repairable/open option for those that would like something that can be hacked away at.

[–] Mudman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago

Right. For me it's the sheer ingenuity of one person to put something cool like that together is just fascinating.

Being 9060xt based is the main bonus over the Steam Machine. It's a good bump over the 7600

But also starts at €1,089.00. And it's to be seen how well the company will support the operating system and software over the years. This is something where Valve is a prime example how to handle it. But it's nice to have alternatives, if it is well supported in the future. I'm also curious how the operating system stacks up against SteamOS and the other community driven projects.

Would it be safe to say that the Steam Machine would be priced slightly lower than this console based on those specs?

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago

Most likely. I don't think Valve would release this at a price higher than 1.1k Euros. If we are lucky it will cost 700...

Interesting.

Is this dragoonDorise's work? I interviewed them a few years back, and chatted again a couple weeks ago, hoping to write a feature article on the hardware, but that was a no-go.

They were interested in having me write an article on the EmuDeck Android app, but then just kinda ghosted me

Looks more like a cooking stove than a gaming console. Or does it run hot enough to fry eggs on it?
