It is a bigger, don’t have the Steam Controller dongle integrated, and you need to manually install SteamOS on it.

But you get a machine that can be upgraded way more easily than the Steam Machine, and a better GPU from the start.

    Tech people love to forget the average level of tech literacy in the world.

    Every time Nintendo and Switch comes up on Lemmy you see the flood of haters who cant wrap their heads around the idea that parents will pay extra for their kids shit to “just work” and overpay for AAA Nintendo titles that are complete and have no microtransactions.

    The steam machine is for people who remember pc gaming fondly but cant be bothered building a rig or dealing with specs on prebuilts.

      Nintendo games have no microtransactions? What in the everloving shit are you talking about? They have some of the most predatory microtransactions i have erver seen. Makio kart 8 teases you with tracks and characters you don’t own every time you play. They know for damn sure that children don’t see the little dlc on the top or know what it means. Same with smash brothers. And these are just the only games i ever bought my nephew used, because fuck them.
