Battlefield 6 Goes to the Pacific & The Steam Machine Ram Problem

So, um, So we're going to pick up and talk a little bit about gaming.

First and foremost, like I always like to start with talking a little bit about hardware.

So a lot of people now are starting to get trickles of their special emails that they're eligible to buy the Steam machine.

And similar to the situation where I signed up to be on the wish list or what have you, the waiting list for the Steam controller, I applied for the Steam machine as well.

However, however, even though like last I knew with the Steam controller, I'm probably not going to be using it that much in comparison to the Vader 5, my beloved FlyDigi Chinese controllers.

But I still ended up buying one out of curiosity.

I do like controllers.

I can never have enough controllers.

And it is a bit of a unique thing to have this thing, even though I haven't really been using it that much.

And I was hesitant.

I was like, am I going to buy it once the email comes that I'm eligible to get it? I did end up getting it.

Granted, that was just around $100.

Now, a steam machine is a little different.

It's a different situation because the steam machine...

At least the one that I wishlisted was the more premium, the two terabyte one that comes with the face plates, but without a controller because I already have a controller.

Now that's going to run me over $2,000 Canadian.

So I know in my heart of hearts, it's not a good idea to buy that.

But I kept the wishlist just in case as these systems go more and more out in the wild and influencers and tinkers and programmers get it, maybe they'll figure out something novel or cool to be able to do with the machine.

And I think I may have spoke about this.

I was thinking about, well, maybe like it's bad if you're trying to justify something that you don't need before even buying it, before you even have the opportunity to buy it.

My justification was like, okay, I've moved on to buying lots of Steam games.

So sometimes I might want to play my Steam games in my bedroom on my TV instead of on my computer downstairs.

woohoo uh first world problems um but then it's like uh but then like it's going to take up an hdmi port on my system on my tv uh maybe i can cope with having this appliance if uh it replaces my apple tv and then i could put the apple tv in the living room but then the more i look into it I like my Apple TV because it can run, it supports Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and it has this function.

It's almost like VRR or G-Sync for film.

It has a function called match frame rate.
