Looks cool. Tried a little. Wish it had gamepad support

Got to see cooling and if it has a microsd card slot. Especially if it supports express cards. With how Android gaming is going with steam games, a card slot would be amazing
PC game emulation is the only thing I care for in high end phones. For that 16+GB is good. Sucks that we're going backwards in consumer electronics affordability
I'm hoping Steam Machines usher in good TV/movie streaming apps for Linux. I'd love to use a miniPC with a remote to replace AndroidTV/Roku
It does look really good. Hoping that the Steam Deck, Machine, and Frame are all successful to a point where there's more interest in TV/gamepad centric UI applications for Linux. Don't need much variety. Pretty much media apps
Steam has been the primary indie platform for games for like 15 years. Xbox had a moment in the early Xbox love arcade but the time the Xbox One came out, it was Steam and it has been ever since especially after Greenlight and early access
More like there's more weird blogs than ever but not interest in any to really become famous at least for some day time talk shows to joke about (another format that's now in an ocean of content rather than a pond).
The machines the least appealing thing to me. It'd have to be Steam Deck priced to be worth it in my opinion. RDNA3 but less compute units than an RX 7600. Controller looks like a buy. Possibly that VR headset too
No shit? Games released on the Xbox store, Xbox store has a monopoly on it. PSN store monopoly on PSN store games
This. Steam Workshop I only use for my basic Witcher 3 mods being removing weight limits for inventory and stuff like horse sprinting stamina. I think it's been over a year since witcher 3 workshop launched. There's barely anything on there. Everything is on Nexus. All the ultra wide monitor support mods I grab off codeberg, GitHub, gitlab, or Nexus. I remember all the half life mods I used to get off modDB. Steam workshop is a far distant second to Nexus for mods for me. Close to GitHub for how much I use to download mods from
Going back to the spike TV days, it has always seemed to me that Geoff just wants glitz and glamour in video gaming that he can enjoy. And then with age that makes the glitz and glamour crowd for him also get older. Video game developers, welcome to the art gallery world, film/book/music/stage/television awards. It's a bunch of old people with money and glitz and younger glamour that call themselves producers of any kind they can think of predators trying to party and network and that's about it. Thing is with the game awards is that award shows peaked back in like 2005-2010 before YouTube and social media really took over media gossip. The game awards has been trying to make some prestige event out of a dying format that lost credibility with how non-inclusive these awards actually are. And I'm not talking about American social politics inclusiveness, I'm talking awards shows that want to be American/Euro-centric in a media landscape that is increasingly not that. So awards shows we know out here are declining marketing platforms for their potential domestic sponsors too because they're just not able to appeal to people like they used to when these shows aren't recognizing peoples super favorite game from like Colombia or China that was a hit on Steam but never paid a dime in advertising to American and European media organizations so get no media coverage

I've tried it a couple times since the steam deck came out. Kionoite and Silverblue. Just ended up back on Kubuntu upgrading with every 6 month release. I still use Distrobox. Just don't feel the need for an atomic base yet. May try again someday but for now I like having a Debian/Ubuntu base and easy option to use PPAs when I want
