Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

First - THANK YOU for the heads up! I was hoping when I got the dBrand Companion Cube notification just after midnight.

Second - Anyone notice the controller bundles save you $20 over buying the controller individually? Not so sad my controller reservation is AWOL!
Edit
Dbrand just sent this video too...
(HL3 tease at the end)
I wish they would have licensed it to use with Stream providers. That would replace Nvidia Shield and/or Apple TV devices in a few homes.
It will probably have a boot to desktop mode like the Steam Deck and then you can run any stream in a browser.
Unless there is a workaround that I'm not aware this would only limit to stream 720p in most browsers and 1080p in some browsers. We can't stream for example Netflix at 4k with this method that you described without a license for the device.
We can't stream for example Netflix at 4k
Netflix hasn't allowed 4k streaming via browser on any device in the past 10 years

sigh
All this development time and they cant get unified memory with DRAM VRAM is kinda underwhelming.

I wonder how much it would be if they sold one without RAM or SSD or with DDR 4 instead?
or with DDR 4 instead?
Literally not possible without an almost complete redesign.
But sans SSD or RAM I think would have probably been $650

I could build a better PC than this for cheaper than this even with the current shit going on. What an absolute disappointment.
