  • did you supply an FAQ for your comment? wow, incredible

  • maybe it worked like that at one point. it's clear that it no longer works that way, not when the "innovators" also control all the levers of the economy. Everything is a pump-and-dump scheme these days.

  • Finally, an actually beneficial use case for AI. This is what this technology is good for, pattern predictions based on ridiculously large datasets. But noooo it's new technology so everyone wants to use it to make themselves rich. I hate this world.

  • You can never be ready for the death of parent. It's like your whole world gets turned upside down, something that has been true for your entire life is suddenly no longer true.

    Sorry to hear it, and I hope you're taking care of yourself and surrounding yourself with your favorite people. you're in my thoughts today

  • You're right, but still. Reduction of options is never good for the community.

  • I think the point of this article is the new ain't coming any time soon. I think now is not a bad time to invest in a refurbished Steam Deck!

  • so glad to help u find a cool new game!

  • not sure what beef you have with GN, but they've seemed pretty rock-solid reliable to me for years now. Just good, detailed benchmarking and high-quality journalism. Unlike many tech channels and blogs, they actually cite their sources thoroughly.

    And for the record, the Kraken Z7 I bought 6 years ago and mounted vertically is still running quite strong, despite gamers nexus all but telling me I was an asshole for mounting it that way because it was going to die within 2 years and I’ll have only myself to blame.

    Quick google is pulling up no parts called "Kraken Z7" so not exactly sure what you're talking about. I think you're referring to this AIO mounting video they did 5 years ago? Generally speaking, computer parts are subject to a binning process, which means not all parts are created equal. Just because your AIO has lasted 6 years with a suboptimal orientation doesn't mean that every Kraken Z7 will last 6 years in that orientation. In that video, Steve uses a lot of qualifying language. In the chapter testing vertical orientation, he even specifically says "this one is more about noise than performance". They also say that you could mount vertically with the tubes towards the bottom of the radiator, and that would solve most of the issues. They supplied tons of testing and evidence proving that their recommended orientations would work best. I'm not sure how you heard "this could shorten the life of your AIO" and took that as a personal attack, but sure. Take it out on GN i guess.

  • i think they mean more in terms of relative performance, so that "Steam Machine Verified" also means "Steam Deck 2 verified". But I guess from a dev perspective, that is not exactly a "single target", as diff hw means diff optimizations are required.

  • Well if they drop Jellyfin, I know at least one friend that would rather drop their Fire TV than go without. Here's hoping this backfires and just drops Amazon's TV user base with no positive tradeoff for them.

  • hell yeah. thx 4 sharing!

  • Whatchu gaming on now, then? SteamOS? Bazzite? Some other Linux distro? And what kind of perf are you getting?

  • yeahhhh and I mean, there's no rule about it so it's not like you're in trouble or anything, this is just a thing I care about. I like to see big threads with lots of comments and lively discussion! If this was reddit it wouldn't matter, the upvotes would sort it out or both threads would just coexist and it would be fine. In this smaller community, two people posting the same story from diff sources at the same time can lead to both comment threads being relatively dead. I will call this out in comments bc of my own personal goal of seeing consolidated threads. My hope is folks will double-check before posting in the future. In this case, I think the other post blew up before you posted, so it just means that this comment section will be sorta dead. Glad you cross-posted to the other gaming communities!

  • so you didn't read the article at all, huh?

  • TL;DW: Gamers Nexus was contacted by the U.S. Secret Service because of their investigation into Nvidia's slow corruption. In this vid, Steve and crew dive into how Nvidia has been getting into bed with Palantir, the Trump admin, and the global elite that are fueling the AI bubble. Nvidia went from almost no political contributions ever, to donating a massive amount to the Trump/Vance ticket. And GN brought RECEIPTS.

  • next generation I’m gonna get rid of my Xbox

  • If you don't want to play mainstream multiplayer games, it should be pretty painless for you! Obviously we don't know yet what Valve will reveal, but if they announce a new "Steam Machine" that is basically a Steam Deck in desktop form, it should be pretty smooth! I hear there are some games that require some Linux finagling, but everything has guides online.

  • Sometimes you are in the cult of a cult classic, and so that game feels like one of the best ever. I will still come out and say the same about my old faves, like Guild Wars 1 or Phantom Dust. I exaggerate to express how good I think these games were!
