Question: The 'N' in 'N64' stood for what?Answer: ...Noice.Also I should have done 'rosendo', but I missed it. I accept that.
F3715H@kkarhan You mean the #SteamDeck Community?
- Sadly #Steam bowed before #censorship and yeeted a lot of #NSFW #games...
Reacting to your BAD (and great) Steam Deck boot movies.

Still, #SteamFrame will be cool...

@raccoon given that #Valve refused to elaborate beyond "same price as #ValveIndex" they could do anything from $499 - $999 depending on whether they just mean the headset or the compete package to be able to use it.
- Personally I hope folks make #Linux #drivers to be able to use those "#windowsMixedReality" headsets on #SteamOS or like #UbuntuLTS #Desktop.
Because based off #3kliksphilip they can be good.
VR: The Valve Index VS The Cheapest
@raccoon okay, news: I'd bet closer to $999 than $749...

Anyone who thinks the #SteamMachine aka. #GabeCube / #GabenCube will be a $499 thing or even a $749 thing needs to get updated on #pricing for #hardware. - [Thanks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hLiwNViMak) to the *"#AI"* #Scamconomy, #PriceFixing and #OpenAI buying 40% of global #DRAM production output due to #Trump's *"#Stargate"* shitshow and the circular #Scam #economy associated, the 2x16GB #DDR5-SODIMMs (even if those were slow -4800 and not the recommended #Zen4 -6000 speeds) will cost about $250+ as of today. - #SSD|s too - which use the same chip dabs - also climb beyond $100 per TB or > $50 for a 512 GB #NVMe. So already these components are $300+ as of today, and industry insiders claim this will get *much worse* so I'm not even shure a $999 pricetag will be possible by Q1/2026. Not to mention the 8GB VRAM of the built-on, dedicaded #GPU! - Espechally since #Valve, unlike #Sony, #Microsoft, #Apple and #Nintendo will not have the capital to order like #RAM Chips or even sticks in decent qualtities right now. The only reason why noone expects Apple to raise prices is because *they already shaft their buyers* by overcharging them for their #SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownSSDs and they tend to buy not just huge quantites, paying above.market, but alsov*fewer, higher capacity* chips.

@raccoon granted, #Valve did already commit themselves to it being "open like a PC" so they can't sell at a loss. They at least need to break even in terms of cost to avoid businesses like datacenters to go: "Hey, that's pretty good!" and order like 1000+...
- My University did that with the #PS3 and ran them as clusters becaude even tho #YellowDogLinux and any #OtherOS only gets 2 threads, the #Cell was still a competent and affordable #ppc64 machine that one could use #MPI and do #clustering at full blast without breaking a sweat. And mind you #Sony lost out €100+ just in parts cost on every PS3 phat sold at launch because winning the #FormatWar with #BluRay against #HDDVD was more important long-term.
The Last Format War
@raccoon Microsoft merely half-assed #HDDVD with #FUD, so in the end, #Netflix or rather #Streaming won the #HD #FormatWar - just as Microsoft wanted!
So yeah, I doubt #Valve will subsidize the #SteamMachine at all, but sell it at cost knowing that less than 10% will even think going beyond #Steam and less than 1% actually install a different OS…
