"a somewhat significant account" - eric shamow
(he/him)
one more move up
November 13, 2025 at 1:55 AM
you're right, I'll do that
November 13, 2025 at 1:55 AM
I need you guys to remind me to visit. I always move on, but this time I gotta visit.

he's the guy who pulled me into my current seat, and I'm constantly like "look, I'm gonna be two floors down, I'm not 'going away'"

It keeps not making money for so many devs. Powerwash Simulator devs came out and said explicitly, "this isn't making money and isn't worth doing." The Batman Arkham Shadow devs only made it because Meta paid for it. iRacing and Automobilista 2 are the only racing sims doing VR for real.

RAM prices are weird right now

look, obviously he and I disagree on many things,

A lot of higher-end PC games are just happier at 32.

16 gigs, though. I did 32 gigs in 2020. Maybe there's slots.

Price-dependent, obviously, but if you're looking to run Steam games on your TV why would you buy whatever the next xbox is instead of that?

16 gigs on RAM on the Steam Machine. My "we're treading water at roughly PS5 spec for a while" theory holding true.

I think VR is basically cooked as a gaming medium outside the subset of people who want to play cockpit stuff but don't have space for a bunch of screens, so IMO it's weird to bother with this in 2026. I also thought lack of anti-cheat compatibility would put a ceiling on the Steam Deck, though.

You may be tempted to retort, "I'd rather give Valve money than Meta," but let us bear in mind - if you buy a Quest 3 and don't fuck with their app store at all, you're costing them money.

I forgot there's a stop-motion kidney transplant in this thing.

He's bringing all this smoke about cultural appropriation but he keeps calling the people "Oriental." Go back to Facebook, Dewey.
November 12, 2025 at 1:16 PM
He just asked if Greta Gerwig's character is "gonna white savior," ugh Jesus Christ just shut up and enjoy the movie, Dewey.

He just asked if the people who made it are Japanese
