Mama told me not to come.

She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.

  • I don’t think that’s all that impressive though. The GPU looks to be a little weaker than the Xbox Series X, one gen newer and just over half the CUs, and the CPU is a gen newer with fewer cores. I’d wager The comparison I’ve seen is the Steam Machine is about the same size as the Series X, but a bit shorter. The Steam Machine doesn’t have a disc drive, so that makes sense.

    It looks like the Steam Machine’s cooling is just a big heatsink and a 120mm fan. That’s really not that crazy. It’s basically a mini PC with a custom SOC and a bigger heatsink and fan.


  • What’s the alternative for phones? My last phone had about 2-3 days battery life and I ran into this issue more frequently because I didn’t need to have a routine. My current phone lasts about a day and a half, so my routine is to charge at night, but if I forget, I charge in the morning or at work.

    In the old days with easy to swap batteries, I never brought a spare with me because that required more planning than charging at night. In the old old days of flip and candybar phones, they lasted a week, so recharging wasn’t a big deal.

    The controller situation is different. I have both an Xbox 360 and a DS4, and the DS4 is less fussy. Why? I only need to charge it like once a week given how much I play, so it’s more like the old flip phone.
