Quoting: WorMzyThe fuck is an 'AI PC'?

It's a PC that can do AI inference, which is pretty much any PC or phone or TV or frickin frig in the world.

On a serious note, an AI PC generally refers to a PC with an NPU (Neural Processing Unit?), which is basically an accelerator for AI operations that can otherwise still be done in the CPU or the GPU, but at a slower speed and/or higher power consumption.

The concept of the dock makes no sense. This is a desktop console, not a handheld, so a separate model with that higher GPU would have made more sense. It's also not a good idea to start with multiple models in the first place; they should've just focused on one model that is powerful enough, close to the power of PS5 or surpassing it. If they did that it will be the proper Steam Machine people have been looking for.

Quoting: sarmadSpeaking of Black Myth: Wukong, can it run on Steam Deck? I assume that is way too demanding title for the Steam Deck to handle, but I just thought of asking anyway.
According to ProtonDB if you set the graphics to low, AA and post processing to high, and run at 640p with FSR you will get 40-50 fps on Steam Deck.

I saw a video of someone playing the game on Steam Deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB1NtSiEJ6E

Amazing. Never expected the Deck to be able to handle this.

Is the Mono project still needed now that .NET itself supports Linux?

Quoting: GOL_USERSeems a little too easy and you've got to wonder if Valve will shut down invites. Not sure they have the server capacity for all the people getting in...

Not necessarily. They don't necessarily have very limited servers, it could be that they can still handle millions of users but they want to avoid sudden spikes or unexpectedly high number of players. Also, having easy invite doesn't mean everyone interested will jump on. Many people, like myself, will just prefer to wait for the official release rather than going the extra steps to get an invite. Even if those extra steps are super easy, they are still extra steps.

Quoting: MnolegDoes anyone know how this game compares to Zero-K? I spent a lot of time playing Zero-K last year and it become one of my favourite games. Special mention to the huge and diverse singleplayer campaign, which these kind of games usually lack. Kudos to the developers.

It's pretty similar to Zero-K but more polished. In terms of gameplay I would say the main difference is that BAR has the concept of generations, i.e. there are regular factories and advanced factories.
