I got a place on the 512GB with Controller list, and got an email a few days after they started. I ordered it on Friday the 3rd and got it today on Thursday the 9th. The tracking codes were all over the place and gave different estimates depending which branch of each company I used. Steam claimed it was shipped when the courier said they hadn’t got it so I was worried for a few days. But this morning Royal Mail (UK customer) sent me an email saying it would arrive today, while GLS said it would arrive tomorrow.
Safe to say I’m happy to have it now and be playing games!
wtf who says this to people? Who raised you?
Lol. Thank you.
Smart people that taught me how to be objective in my decisions and plan ahead.
Dude can be proud of being a fanboy and a consumerist that buys everything and anything Valve makes, but no one can point out that that’s kinda dumb? Ok.
Read the room buddy, this is a celebratory thread. We’re excited the machines are shipping. This is a happy place. (With some gentle joking out of jealousy.).
You threw a big 'ole damper! OP is happy they got a thing and you respond with “have fun when it breaks!” You’re going to get some funny looks when you do that.
While I am not one to shit on peoples excitement and personally I kinda want a steam machine (and especially want the controller), I do also think its fair to say the fediverse absolutely loves to be anti-consumer until its consumerism that appeals to us as a group 😅
Still not gonna be antagonistic about people’s joy though 🤷🏻♂️ I kinda want one, I’d be jazzed if mine just showed up too
I feel sorry for anyone that doesn’t have at least one area they are enthusiastic enough about to splurge a little in. Still, can we really call it consumerism when Valve releases hardware so infrequently? Seriously. 11 years between controllers? 7 years between VR headsets? 6+ years expected between handhelds?
You can hate on facts, they’ll still be facts. Have fun ignoring reality, I guess.
I mean you could have made your comment about that and not “lol I hope your $1k cube breaks.”
Same goes for literally every comment in social media. Solid argument there bud xD
Also, electronic devices always break. It’s not a matter of “if”, but rather “when” and “what”. I didn’t say that I wish it breaks, just that it’ll be a pia to fix when it does.
Someone here never got a single quality toy from their parents. That explains some things.
Electronic devices aren’t toys and them breaking is a fact, not an opinion. Literally nothing lasts forever. Accidents happen too.
That’s evident, there’s still no reason for you to be raining over their parade. Only people with hate in them come out and do shit like that out of the blue, generating more hate, of course, which seems to be your intentiin now that I said that.wao, and I fell for it too. Good job.
Nah bruh. No hate here. I guess I was bored at the moment and started posting without a second thought. This definitely is the wrong place, but I do think that what I said is true. This steam machine v1 will most likely end up like the licensed steam machines valve launched way back when.
“Objective”? Any objective person would have come through the thread, and then move on. There’s nothing objective about you except for the fact that you’re and objectively sad individual who is probably going through some bad life situations. By the way, I’m being as objective as you, in case you’re wondering.
What a fucking moron 🤣
That’s literally a subjective opinion. You might need a thesaurus dude.
Lol. Don’t assume I’m going into these purchases on blind fanboyism, and don’t confuse “niche” with “bad.” I just have very good experiences with their hardware going all the way back to the OG Controller, Link, and the Vive (which I consider theirs more than HTC’s), and that informs decisions that follow.
