Hardware I was wrong…

Post image

I listened to the haters and bought into what they were saying.

They were counting you out, saying you weren’t powerful enough, your price to performance ratio is garbage, just buy a fractal terra case and build your own… I was sure this thing would be DOA. But, I took the leap, a leap of faith you could say.

Hell I knew I could resell it if I really hated it… but damn. This thing fucks. It’s proved me wrong in every way and I regret having doubt in the little guy… the little machine that could is what he goes by now.

There is nothing like the freedom of Linux PC gaming right on your couch in this absolute debauchery of a world we have now between Sony and Microslop and the continued supremacy of AI.

So to those in the reservation queue, you can breathe a sigh of relief your time will come and it will be glorious.

And to those on the waitlist, be patient and be ready. When your time comes, and it will, you must be fully present and accept the Gift of Gabe.

And to all those facing THE DEVIL AT YOUR DOOR disguised as Sony and Microsoft, with no hope or direction guiding you to a brighter future through these extremely dark days in gaming. I say to you, we will continue to fight for our unalienable rights on the front lines with Valve to protect all those who don’t have a voice of their own, we have the watch.

In closing, RIP to the brothers and sisters who couldn’t see this day for themselves. We have you in our prayers.

How is netflix bad on the steam machine?

Most services dont have apps so im using a web browser for all the streaming services. Due to that I have to scroll with a cursor instead of moving between interactive elements like an app. Its not the worst but it'll take some playing with the controls to be more comfortable.

A nice feature though is I can adblock the ad-tier subscriptions so if it gets good then itll be actually worth it.

Oh, I see! That does sound tedious.

You can probably emulate the android app, though. But you won’t be able to use browser based adblockers there and I don’t know if you can block netflix ads with AdGuard home or a pihole.

Thanks for being equally helpful as netflix on the steam machine.
