stardust

Doesn't last as long as regular laptops either with how poor OS support is in comparison. Phones have felt like disposable tech compared to regular computing devices, since once a device stops getting security updates it's not really something you want use for stuff like passwords or banking like you did when you first got it. Phones need to get better in that area.

I'm waiting for it to get to Westworld quality haha

Title is weird with how it could be interpreted to mean mtx was $1 billion.

So for people who might be confused

150 million dollars from in-game microtransactions.

That's like 4090 build range in other places https://pcpartpicker.com/b/drNPxr

Smart Tube is great.

Oh sweet finally a competitor with not 1 but 2 TouchPads! I hope this eventually leads to some third party coming out with a steam controller with all the deck inputs.

Living room isn't a selling point for me since I have a fiber optic hdmi hooked up to the TV that allows me to not have to have my PC next to the TV. All I do is grab a controller and wireless keyboard like the K400.

Getting a console and having to buy games for it would be money wasted for me when I already have a unified library and am able to either play at the desk, play in the livingroom , or continue on from the Steam Deck.

It's an ecosystem and no need for having to have games for different hardware.

Pretty crazy how they botched the success they had with the 360 so badly. Exclusives was what always mattered to me when it came to consoles and they just haven't impressed in that department since then. Many quality triple a titles have come out every year but Xbox just couldn't manage to come up with any new IPs that caught people's eyes and missed on existing ones even with all that money.

PC is like 3 consoles in one with it getting Xbox games, Sony games on delay, and emulating Nintendo games. Can use mouse or game pad without needing blessing of devs on a game by game basis. And is a productivity device too that can be used for stuff like coding, video editing, 3d modeling, etc.

Yeah been keeping eye on it and they've been making good progress with some of the story being playable already.

Okay good. That was my main concern since I opt to download the same app from F-droid over Google play if it is an option.

Also PC is like 3 consoles in one since it will get all Xbox titles, Playstation titles on a delay, and be able to emulate Nintendo games.

And it being used for more than gaming is a good point, since some people spend a lot on Apple computers for productivity with no intention of gaming.
