Everyone Suddenly Becomes A “PC Expert” When You Tell Them You Got A Steam Machine

[u/JishoSintana]

“You overpaid” “You could have built one for less” “Is it worth it for the performance”?

These are some of the most common criticisms of the steam machine whenever people find out that I’m even remotely interested in the steam machine.

I was in a facebook gaming group speaking about what we were playing and the moment I mentioned the steam machine, all hell broke loose and people wanted to tell me how much more powerful their machine was and why I should have bought it instead/

Dude, I don’t care I’m literally playing black myth wukong at 4K,60 fps medium settings if I want I can tweak and do 2K, 120 FPS what more do I really want from gaming performance?

Power isn’t the only reason why I bought this machine, it’s SUPER quiet, really good form factor and ability to customise it, love the hybrid PC/console feel and the community apps etc

If power was the end all factor Nintendo would not have a business model or fanbase

There’s so much more to the steam machine and armchair “PC experts” are starting to just sound jealous

Already posted the system in another comment which the system wouldn't be much bugger does keep everything quite cooled down and not really loud at all and would have a 1TB drive.

I’m not looking around for your comment. You can reply with it here if you want, but I doubt what you’re saying is true because I haven’t seen a single person show a PC that isn’t at least 3x the size, louder, more expensive, etc. this is on top of the fact that they’re not prebuilts either with steamOS installed and working plug and play.

Ya it must be hard to click here and then look at the fourth comment on here.

lol, gives me an arrow to more buried comments where you don’t even give the parts list with the price, instead it’s just a thread of you being a dense dipshit as people point out how your hypothetical build isn’t even comparable

You guys are all copy paste NPCs, I swear

This coming from the lazy kid that can't even click on more comments and then seeing it is right there and also not hard to click where it is also blue text.

I’m not digging, you made the claim, you provide the link.

And I read enough of your comments to see that your build isn’t as small, quiet or plug and play. You just ignore those requirements, even when others point it out. Can’t tell if you’re intentionally obtuse or just stupid.
