The Machine, the desktop/living room console… It has a 300W PSU. GN has the Valve designer saying its generally just a tad over 200W of draw.
So uh… that’s practically nothing, you could probably actually power that out of a homebuilt steam turbine + power station (like for solar panels, home backup power unit type thing).
For reference, an Nvidia 5090 needs 575W… just by itself.
An AMD 9070, non XT, on its own, uses 220W, approximately what the entire Steam Machines uses.
The Steam Machine does not even have a 3 prong connector.
Ah, didn’t see it, I went with pcgamer, not gamespot, on mobile, it didn’t auto tell me ‘somebody already posted that url, dummy!’
Oh well, all my cross posts to every other gaming community I can see are blowing up, I guess beehaw is the only place quicker on the trigger on this one than everywhere else.
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!
Yeah, I’m not trying to like, karma farm… I usually do this kind of strat with like, some kind of serious world/us/political/financial news.
I’m trying to maximize visibility, but… yeah, a side effect of that is diffuse comment sections… both within one community/lemmy, and across diffent communities/lemmys.
I dunno.
Who is or isn’t federated with who?
I dunno.

If I see an already existing huge thread about the same thing, or very similsr thing, I try to join in there, but, I did not see that this time, I missed it.
There something like double or triple as many fairly large (10k + members) gaming comms… as major news comms, at least from what I see.
I suppose it’s not the first time Valve has counted to 3; in terms of releasing 3 projects. They released the Orange Box which had 3 games in it. But they never put out a 3rd iteration of things.
So expect this to be the last Steam Controller and Steam Machine, if we count the old 3p hardware Linux boxes and Index headset they helped with.
Nope, turns out, thats a whole game in and of itself.
Also, while vanilla Kenshi doesn’t really do specific organs… you can always just peel somebody, swap some limbs around, or just toss a torso down a hole, I guess…
I mean I know “Alleged” has to be there for legal purposes, but what are the chances Rockstar ISNT guilty of union busting?
I’ve watched UNION’s union bust when their staff unionizes, no way a for profit capitalist nightmare like rockstar isn’t busting as hard as they can, especially with the NLRB currently muzzled by a felonious rapist who steals from children with cancer.
The biggest crime here is that people are actually looking forward to a game that will INEVITABLY be the same GTA slop we’ve been playing since the turn of the goddamn millenium.
Graphics are no longer a selling point, we can make anything look like anything now. Unique gameplay and immersive narratives and interactive mechanics are now the way games stand out. Look how popular far simpler social games are like Repo and the like. look how well a goddamn knockoff of S.T.A.L.K.E.R did (Misery) and it was the most basic survival mechanics and it was made by one person and it looks like it crawled out of a Playstation 2… but it was engaging and addicting because it was trying new ways to do old things.
All that aside, yeah our countries hate unions and hate workers and everyone in power hates you and wants you to die.
Just to address the potential for US defaultism, “our country” in this case should be read as the United Kingdom, where Rockstar is headquartered and the union busting in this instance took place.
Hype around a game is directly related to the marketing budget. If people are looking forward to the next edition in a franchise, it is inevitably because they’ve been bombarded with “NEW THING! NEW THING! NEW THING!” radio/TV/streaming ad reels for months prior.
All that aside, yeah our countries hate unions and hate workers and everyone in power hates you and wants you to die.
We’re going to replace all the working class schlubs with AI, haven’t you heard?
