I really hope valve release a new game to showcase the hardware, there's still nothing that's topped alyx in the vr space

Quoting: Slaxer

Quoting: MohandevirYou just singled out 75% of the total cost of a complete PC. A Pentium 166, in 2025 money would be around 5000$.

Edit: In 2025 money, the Pentium 133, which was considered the "sweet spot" would be sold 2000$.

For my PCs, I usually pay half that price, in CAN$. Add a 300$ for the rampocalypse (32gb).

That's not even taking into account that 2 years later this cpu was a paper brick. Quickly replaced by the likes of my PII 400. The generational leaps were way more impressive back then.

According to the Bank of Canada inflation calculator [External Link], $2400 in 1995 would now be worth $4608 in 2026. You're right though, I forgot how quickly things became obsolete at that time.

Both GPUs and RAM are extremely overpriced these days. $1500 for a mid-range graphics card with only 16GB of VRAM is ridiculous. You could still buy a PC for relatively "cheap"... if you settle for low-end hardware, or by going on the used market to buy previous gen parts. IMO, if I was buying a new PC, I don't think it's reasonable to build a PC with a graphics card that only has 8GB of VRAM. It's 2026, 8GB of VRAM was the norm for mid-range cards in 2015. That was 11 years ago. With that said, low-end stuff is much more decent these days than it was back then because we've plateaued when it comes to compute power needs for the average person - so I dunno, maybe it isn't as bad as I make it out to be.

This is why I think handheld devices have become so popular, I mean nintendo haven't focused on bleeding edge since the gamecube and they still manage to make a successful business model out of it

I built my main pc in 2019, I did want to upgrade it but with ai ruining consumer prices I'll hold off even longer, before this longest I ever had a pc before upgrading was like 3-5 years

I find most AAA titles not as appealing to me much these days either, it's indie and my backlog that gets the most attention

There's still some fun AAA games from companies like capcom and insomniac but alot of them just seem so bland to me now

I've noticed on my steam deck I can't type anything when searching for games on the store page, the search field just stays blank :(

At least typing seems to work on the workshop page, really like the new workshop layout, store page doesn't seem that "improved" to me though, just different

I'd love to get the steam frame but it'll end up costing too much for me

Really enjoyed AC7

Makes no sense they'd go to effort of porting zero and only available as a preorder, so even if I bought ac8 at a later date, I still wouldn't get zero?

Hope they make it available as seperate purchase, otherwise I guess there's always the "other" option to obtain zero

Pretty sure the comment about him microwaving his ps4 controller to dry it was a joke

Reading these comments gave me an old memory as a kid when my grandma use to stick old batteries in the oven, which would give them a little more charge

Sure hope they fix the stuttering, hard to enjoy racing games if they stutter all over the place
