Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The sad part is that Valve really did price all the parts for pretty much as low as they could go:

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

The hardware prices seem competitive. But the important note is hinting at the real form factor tax: It doesn't have the same cost / performance ratio as a normally sized PC using the same hardware.

[–] Bread@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 minutes ago

Sadly thats probably a competitive price for a console now.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 1 points 25 minutes ago

That's unfortunate. Expected, but unfortunate.

I like gaming. That like is not strong enough to extend to that price point.

This makes me wonder about the next time we have to buy new phones ....

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago

Just buy a cheap Chinese phone.

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 2 points 50 minutes ago (1 children)

Probably not interested for those specs at that price.

In Japan, the page also has a link that goes to some partner of theirs that's just a maintenance page at 09:38 on a weekday which.... does not inspire confidence.

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 2 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

To be fair that’s normal in Japan.

And if you’re talking about Komodo Station, they’re pretty good

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 1 points 35 minutes ago

I work in IT in Japan and we'd be in deep shit if that happened at any company I work for.

I don't think I've ever used Komodo station for anything before which is why I clicked to see.

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 1 points 33 minutes ago

It's a hipster PC. Even if there wasn't the current hardware pricing bubble, you'd still pay the form factor tax.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Not suprised after seeing the deck's price hike. Thanks AI...

[–] CluelessCalls@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Wow I’ll never be able to own one 😂.

[–] xSikes@feddit.online 9 points 2 hours ago

In this economy?

[–] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 77 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

So thats pretty much as expected - 7 months ago it would have been ~$700 as predicted
