It has cameras so you should still be able to see everything, just not in color because the cameras are monochrome.

Usable sure, but then why did you get a Steam Controller if not to make use of the additional inputs?
183.
by Rohansi 4mo ago
Would you rather have it degrade to the functionality of an Xbox 360 controller without Steam? That's the best they could do without all games including support for the controller (latest SDL3 has it).

Yup, even though this is just a gaming PC, most people are going to be using it as a game console.

PS5, Xbox? They're almost PCs and are in the same space as Steam Machine.

by Rohansi 4mo ago
Even if you only used your Steam Machine to play Steam games it's still probably a better deal. Multiplayer and cloud saves are free so you don't need something like PlayStation Plus. Games are generally cheaper and Steam sales ma

Not that it matters as much for a gaming console but the PS5 Pro CPU is definitely the slower one.

Of course, but we should all be doing our best to push back against unnecessary framework churn.

by Rohansi 4mo ago
The problem is self-inflicted. You do not need to keep jumping to the next trendy framework.

The game logic here is running in JS. Only the rendering is handled by HTML and CSS. Is it really wrong that you can do this? All it requires is 3D transformation of elements.

They said the prototyped in a few languages before settling on Go. Based on what you said it sounds like they didn't do a great job at that and stuck with their decision anyway. > Also to note that it was pointed out that Native AOT

Go was chosen mainly because it aligned more with how the existing compiler is designed. They did not want to redesign the compiler which eliminated C# as a choice. So Go is apparently just a better fit for quickly porting JavaScript code

> .NET is a copy of Java A copy which has had value types (Java's ongoing Project Valhalla) from the start, and reified generics for as long as it had generics. They're quite different once you take a deeper look.

That's what I was getting at. New software tends to run poorly on old hardware.

Tesla Model S was apparently the best selling electric car then.

How do you plan on maintaining state in cases where nobody is playing? Would surely need some nodes kept around just in case no players are active?
201.
by Rohansi 4mo ago
Same thing applies. Neither CPU would be able to fully saturate the available memory bandwidth so comparing by bandwidth alone is not accurate.

Sounds like a cool project! Do you have any specific use cases in mind for types of games this would be beneficial for? IMO in most cases having one player be the host is good enough. Maybe competitive games where you want to ensure the hos

I don't disagree with your conclusion but the comparison of max bandwidth between the two SoCs is not enough. Neither of them will use all of that bandwidth doing AI work because the GPU will be compute limited. That's why dedic

Sure, but where do you draw the line? Many PCs ship with some custom hardware but are not locked down. The MacBook Neo is probably not locked down but uses the same SoC as the iPhone 16 Pro which is locked down. IMO it's pretty arbitra

So what you're saying is it would be acceptable for Microsoft and PC manufacturers to lock down their hardware to running Windows only? Most ship with Windows so why not?
