    Steam announces three new products: Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    The VR headset is the first time I've ever even considered a VR headset. The options before were never very appealing. Either chonky cords, or a dismally underpowered cordless version. Other have *barf* meta integration *barf*, or prices were too high coupled with one of the two aforementioned...

    Whats your latest purchase?

    I've actually bought a few things from Forte in the past. Their pricing is a little inconsistent (some stuff reasonable, some stuff bonkers) but have had good experiences overall, I found fitness town off whyte was the best priced when they were still in business but the service was never great...

    Whats your latest purchase?

    It's tough because you always need more space than you realize with equipment, it's the extra room to load plates, have full range of movement, etc. For the doorway pullups, the ones that have a flat bar that sits on the moulding on the back and cantilevers against the front of the doorframe...

    Whats your latest purchase?

    Rep Fitness wall mounted rack with pullup bar and safeties (not in pic). Finding myself limited with my dumbells to 90lbs and the cross pulley and wanted to throw some squats, RDLs and incline bench in the mix. The company I'm working for has a $330 'annual personal spending' that can be used...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn & Forbidden West

    I don't either. Given Sony's dismal track record with MMOs or 'Games as service' games, I expect this will die a very short unprofitable death and Sony will not learn their lesson (again.... cough *Concord* cough)

    Steam announces three new products: Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    I stream everything in the house, over ethernet. No issues after switching to Apollo/Artemis. I have one of the steam link mini boxes somewhere, but they're limited to 1080P 60hz IIRC and not as flexible as the Shield TV Pro (which admittedly is limited to 4K 60, but that's fine with me)

    Steam announces three new products: Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    Shared on the modern consoles as far as I know. Not sure if the Xbox Orignal or PS3 had dedicated ram too since they were kind of weird machines. I definitely wouldn't expect this to be a powerhouse. Better than a low-mid gaming laptop, and convinient, but kind of a 'customer's first gaming PC'...

    Steam announces three new products: Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    Ehhh, I think 8GB VRAM is probably fine, this think isn't billed a a PS5 Pro killer, unless they really miss their price point. Keep it close enough to console pricing, likely a touch higher, with it being billed as a fully useable PC with Steam and Steam BP integration as the driving factor...

    DDR5 pricing going up FAST

    It's not looking good. I think my 4090 will be the first gpu to last me 3+ generations at this rate. Prices are stupid. RAM is getting bonkers and manufacturer reliability is at all time lows. Your 12VHPWR might melt, ASUS warranty is a gamble, ASRock Mobos like to scorch CPUs, GB has exploding...

    Hot Deals!!!!!

    Their enterprise products are probably silo'd completely from their desktop/notebook divisions. Maybe their servers are rock solid, but I wouldn't translate that to any trust of their consumer division.

    Hot Deals!!!!!

    Brother bought a Dell 2-3 years ago and service is still horrendous according to him. A well known power management issue meant the battery would only last a handful of minutes and it shutdown frequently. Was apparantly very common and well documented for that model. Basically support was bad...

    NZXT getting sued for PC subscription service

    They'll likely bribe a Trump admin and get the suit forcefully dropped somehow if current US legal trends continue...

    Rants etc.....

    I'll be using it while I'm in Japan most of December, so I'd definitely end up swtiching back down the road, but 21+ days of 'free international roaming' (really just baked into the plan) will be a massive savings. I could use an esim, but would prefer having my phone and sms active. Being a...

    Rants etc.....

    Not so much a rant about the experience, but a rant about how it's so hard to tell if a telecom is trying to scam you because of the amount of scammers and teleco's general 'worst practices'. Got an offer from Telus via my business account when I asked about the plan with the 64 country...

    DDR5 pricing going up FAST

    Was that a pricing error that was honored? That seems insanely cheap even at the DDR5 low. Admittedly 5200 isn't blazing fast for DDR5, but that's still well below what I'd expect.

    The 'What are you watching' Thread

    Watched the BBC series Ludwig and really enjoyed it. Premise is a reclusive puzzle maker has to stand-in for his missing twin who's a detective. It stars David Mitchell who I really liked on shows like 'Qi' and 'Would I lie to you'. Was a fun romp, very 'Agatha Christie' esque if you replaced...
