So if Smith made a memorandum of understanding with the PM over a pipeline in Quebec without it's input, what would you think the reaction would be? It would go over really well wouldn't it? Lol.

I know it is a beaverton article. They did however sign a deal without BC input, which is the essence of the joke.

This may backfire on Carney big time. I'm a Carney on kind of guy, but i'm also a BCer and this actually pissed me off. Alberta isn't the only province that thinks it's getting fucked by confederation, way to prove we have no agency in this country. Hope they remember this when the next confidence vote is called for.

It's so sad watching the decline of their civilization.

Yuck. I'll stick to Steam on Linux.

This looks petty awesome, right up my alley.

Dunno worked for me though it wants me to sign in with social media and they don't list Mastodon so i guess maybe i won't bother.

Calm down dude, you have to admit there is a big difference between a 152mm x 158mm cube and a pc tower, they can be quite large. Mine is 54cm tall, 58cm long, 9cm wide.

Yeah they said they are pricing the Steam Machine at PC market prices, but they do having to contend with reality. There are consoles on the market that are more powerful at a lower price point, it will dampen their sales for sure. I mean most pcgamers probably have more powerful hardware already, what is the incentive? Sure small form factor, but is it worth a premium price to the average pcgamer? Console peasants will turn their noses up at it, so who are they marketing to?

I can see the Steam Frames selling better due to it being a fully untethered VRPC headset that can play more than just VR games. Not to mention you can stream from a more powerful PC to the frames making the battery last much longer and better gfx fidelity.

The Steam Controller has to contend with a flooded market of users used to using one type of controller, so a little bit of an uphill battle there too.

Exclusives are bullshit.

The cube is not a pc tower, it is a small box that can sit on a shelf.
