I think it'll sell just fine. They're not gonna manufacture them in console sized batches. They'll sell what they make and manufacture more if people like it. Gonna pair well with the headset. I think it's a rich kid and nerdy tech guy console.

A couple of the youtubers pointed out that Valve custom built the motherboard with CEC support which is NOT something you'll find on consumer grade hardware. The Steam Machine is about bridging the gap between the typical desktop PC experience and the console experience. They've been edging closer and closer to a console experience for years. Maybe this time consumers will see those console benefits as worth the PC price point.

probably not, they've been building a translation layer called FEX that does x86 -> ARM, reasonable to expect it's an x86 build optimized for FEX and the hardware specs of the Frame https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX

but honestly who knows, they might just release an ARM native build, it's their own damn game, they were one of the earliest gaming companies to port games originally written for windows to linux, it's entirely possible they'll do a full port (am I remembering wrong internet?)

the FEX thing is underrated, I know FEX isn't new but the news that we can expect to performantly run almost our entire steam catalogue on ARM hardware is wild

We started shopping for an EV about a month before the rebate expired and ended up getting a used one that wouldn't have qualified for the rebate a couple weeks after the deadline. It was pretty clear to us that most used EVs that qualified were snapped up in the preceding weeks. As far as new EVs, we saw a moderate price drop after the rebates. Not quite enough to cover the lost rebates but it was clear manufacturers were trying to compensate.

All this to say I suspect the rebate expiration led to a bunch of used EV sales eating into new EV sales and I don't see a huge price difference on new EVs post-rebate. EVs are a little pricier than their ICE counterparts but I don't think the rebate expiration made much of a difference to consumers. Pretty clear manufacturers were the real beneficiaries.

Megabonk and Hades, I love both of them so much right now

this is an old old game now but I have to say I really enjoyed this DLC or whatever it is more than the original Far Cry 3 it's based on, the vibe is over the top 80s action with neon lasers and lots of fun details, not terribly long and very much worth a couple dollars, do recommend
