  • I have a very firm memory of reading the term Yellow Journalism in my history text book in high school it was bold and highlighted because it was a key vocab word, I also remember how little time was spent discussing it, I don’t think I could’ve ever imagined how important that term and its progression to the information media system we have now, we are well and truly fucked because they cannot just call a spade a spade because they are owned by entities that need you to believe the spade is a diamond

  • Half the posts I see on lemmy about this are incredibly out of touch with mainstream gamers and consumers and I’m getting second hand embarrassment from it.

    Most people do not want to tinker with their shit at all, and the proportion of people that care about display port vs hdmi is probably about the same they want exactly what you said, ease of a console with the nimble power of a PC. This is exactly that

  • Folks that would/could do that are not the folks this seems geared towards IMO, and I think it may whoosh a lot of us on Lemmy because in general we like to tinker and figure tech out, that's obviously not ubiquitous, but the vast majority of people(read consumers) do not want that at all. I also suspect the Steam Machine will be priced right around $500 to compete with the PS5, depending on their sales expectations they could legit make this a loss leader.

    More likely geared towards the average PC gamer that just wants to play games and doesn't give a fuck about OSS or Linux in addition to lifelong console gamers that prefer controllers on couch gaming but are interested in all the other perks/freedoms that PCs offer. I was in the latter group about a year ago when I bought my deck.
