You’ll have to wait a little longer for Valve’s new hardware.

    Such bad timing for Valve. They seemed to be doing everything right with the Steam Machine and Frame, and now memory is going to price that hardware right out of the range it was surely hoping to make a splash in.

      Sure did. This just shows how in their own world Valve is. They really don’t share internal details even with their partners.

        The other possibility is that Valve made a public announcement only very shortly after confirming that memory price surges would affect final pricing.

        Which would actually be very transparent of them.

    The economic news keeps getting worse. I’m thinking I should get an xbox series x because the series s that I have kind of sucks and I’ve been meaning to upgrade for years. I can buy a series x if I sell my car but then there’s no more money so I’m screwed. Come on government. If we can’t buy houses or have a family we should at least be able to have mindless distractions 😆

        Sounds like a random event in Phoenix Point.

        Your operatives discover an abandoned warehouse. Outside the complex glowing radioactive crabs guard the entrance. Do you go in or nope out?

        YOU CHOOSE TO ENTER THE WAREHOUSE. There isn’t much here except a box of old video games and dvds from the year 2004. What do we do with this discovery?

        1. Give the games and discs to the synedrion council.

        2. Give the games and discs to the local orphanage

        3. Keep the games for yourself.

        4. Play the games now for an instant stamina and morale bonus.
