No offense, but I really don’t like this take.

The Steam Machine is not about price/performance. It’s about easy access with zero hassle to your existing Steam library in your living room. Of course you will be able to match the price/performance if you disregard HDMI CEC, noise levels, size and accessibility/ease of use.

Of course people wanting a PC shouldn’t get this. This is for people who doesn’t have a console since they are PC gamers, and now for the first time can access their existing library at the TV.

Same. Got a reservation mail for the 2TB with controller and still waiting. I’m located in Sweden.

I thought that I was the only one 😂

As I understood it they have explicitly made that the deal with the voice actors. To use their voices for training a model and use for generating voiced dialogue in game. Which leads me to believe that the voice actors have probably been compensated fairly and on agreed upon terms.

This makes it different than just buying/using general voice models that has just scraped the internet of audio content and never hiring or compensating any voice actors.

I bought the original Hollow Knight after the great reception of Silksong. Needed a game to play on my recent flight.

I have never played a platformer like this since I was a child and played Super Mario on the BGA. But I like it a lot!
