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.

It could or should have been around 700-800. We must be thankful AI companies that it is how it is now.

I'm still getting one but this is clearly a luxury item now rather than a competitive console. Sucks to be Valve here, the timing really worked against them.

I just really hope the VR headset is not much worse than this as I just want to play No Man's Sky on linux VR.

I just want to play No Man’s Sky on linux VR.

Should work already https://www.protondb.com/app/275850 if you have a Valve Index and a good gaming Linux desktop.

Playing No Man's Sky on VR (PSVR) was my favorite VR experience.

quite a deal, as a 262 year old unc, steam machines back in my day took nearly $2000 to make

I see that the controller bundled already sold out in Japan.

It doesn't help that those of us in Asia are forced to use Valve's shitty third party distributor Komodo Station. Famous for selling WinRAR licences.

I have no idea what Valve gets out of this. Asian distribution isn't that complicated anymore especially when Komodo doesn't even provide customer support.

And they'll probably increase the price by next year.

Valve can call me when it makes products I can actually afford on a janitor's salary

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

Wtf? The 16g of ram costs almost as much as the gpu. I really hope my ram sticks don't fail on me anytime soon.

Sadly thats probably a competitive price for a console now.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 11 points 4 hours ago

Either way it's cheaper than a console once you factor in the absence of discounts and subscription to play online that consoles have.
