One of the ways the Soviets lost the cold war was that the USSR was just straight up a smaller country than the US. The US just had more resources to throw at whatever dick measuring contest they decided to engage in.
With the new cold war with China that shoe is on the other foot.
The steam machine will be about as powerful as your PS5. It’s unfortunate with pricing being where it is.
I always just upgrade my PC piecemeal. The biggest component for you to upgrade first would be your GPU. Even a RTX3060 or a RX6600 would be an improvement over what you have there.
If you went with the AMD option and installed bazzite/linux that would be pretty close to the specs for the upcoming steam machine. You would probably benefit from some of the optimizations Valve will inevitably do for their hardware over the next couple years… That is if you don’t need Windows for anything.
On your CPU you have a ton of options on the AM4 platform and 16GB of ram is still very usable.
Or just see what the actual steam machine does on pricing. But I’m no longer as optimistic about that given what Valve just did with pricing on the steam deck.
All right we just need the rooster. Does even one single lemming have a single shred of swag?
Who am I kidding, I think our team is fucked.
Which member of this gang would you be?
I feel like rooster is their leader, so I probably don’t have the swag to be rooster, though I wish I could be… After careful consideration, I think I’m goat.
I don’t think I can count that high.
Also, unlikely that Biden is 0.
When I look deep into the eyes of Biden in the photo, I can feel it in my bones that this is a photo of a man who just shid his pants.
Maybe Biden wasn’t as bad of a president as Trump says he was if even he’s got one shid under his belt.
Bingo that’s the goal, poison the well. It’s much less concerning that my great president is incontinent than if they were constantly giving him dementia tests.[/s]
He’s responding to his mom on iMessage! Can you believe that shit? 😡
Just let me enjoy one thing.
I would but I don’t know how to remove the third demension from my heavy disks. :(
No, he was referring to Zach Braff’s character from Scrubs.
Right, but the 20 billion calories in yellow cake uranium goes straight to my thighs.
These are the rumored specs according to moore’s law is dead. Of course things could change or he could have gotten misinformation.
Next-gen consoles are rumored to be around a 5080 in terms of performance. With 32GB of unified ram, $1000 would be a good deal for that level of performance. If Microsoft added the ability to run windows on it, that would be a pretty compelling package.
Hopefully things will get better, but with ram prices where they are the steam machine would probably need to be $900 if it launched today without being subsidized by valve and is around the performance of a base PS5.
I hate to say it but consoles may be the better deal next-gen.
The best comparison is probably the “Biden is the most electable candidate” narrative from the 2020 primary.
He is partially incorrect in his claim about the 2024 primary. We had a primary in 2024 (not a legitimate one IMHO) but the 2024 primary does demonstrate liberals preferring MAGA over leftists.
The uncommitted movement had ~25 percent of the vote in Michigan which was a swing state the Dems couldn’t beat Trump without. The Dems chose to ignore this warning and continue funding the genocide.
The liberals screaming at leftist over the last 18 months stems from leftists having solidarity with the Muslim community in Michigan when the Democratic party abandoned them for their Isreal donors.
Also even if every third party vote had gone to Kamala in every swing state she still would have lost to Trump.
The contension stems partly from liberals unwillingness to think critically about the failures of the democratic party. Preferring party loyalty and rejecting the wishes of the voters over accepting any constructive criticism from the left.
You want to respond by defending the democrats. Perhaps saying people who voted third-party actually support Trump. Any excuse you make for the democrats loss proves the exact point I’m making.
You’ll attack the left even when they’re offering constructive feedback and even when not listening to your left flank means MAGA winning. In other words, you would rather MAGA win than the left.
