  • Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I’m in a slightly different demographic, but am still really interested in the steam machine. I’d be happy building my own gaming rig, but:

    1. Pricing out all that stuff, ordering it, building it is a lot of work, I’d want to see some benefit for that work,
    2. After pricing it all out, maybe I look at a steam machine and decide it’s a better deal.

    Realistically, steam machines, consoles, and custom gaming rigs are all approximately the same hardware and the same market. If the price of the steam machine is going up, so is its competition.






  • I started playing with it, but decided that DNS was slightly lower level than I wanted to host myself (personal opion, more power to you if you disagree). Instead, I use NextDNS which gives me great control down to individual devices, blocks ads and malware, and doesn’t bring down the internet for my entire home if I have a faulty power supply or SD card or whatever.
