June 28Jun 28 Rock Paper ShotgunValve's Steam Machine gets competition in the "Stim Machi...French hardware sellers LDLC have released a PC Box they originally dubbed the "Stim Machine", as an alternative to Valve's Steam Machine.Seriously, the Stim Machine. There's no way they've called it that, I thought as I dug up the listing for it on LDLC's site only to be a bit confused that it seemed to be called LDLC PC Box (or PC Box Kit) there. French site Journal Du Geek quickly filled in the gaps for me. They report that LDLC quietly pulled the Stim Machine moniker a couple of days after releasing the box, scrubbing references to that name from the listing as they re-christened the device, probably because they determined they'd been a bit too cheeky.If you're wondering how LDLC's Box stacks up to Valve's new games cube, the answer is that it seems something of a scruffier big brother that might not be as ideal a bit of kit to fit seamlessly into your living room, but does have more powerful innards. The PC Box is bigger, while it packs a Ryzen 5 8400F processor and Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card. That's compared to the Steam Machine's Zen 4 and RDNA 3. The 9060's the major differentiator, and should offer you more frames per second than you can shake a stick at. The PC Box also requires you to set up SteamOS on it yourself, unlike Valve's Machine.Not purchasing either at the moment, but they look somewhat appealing. Though, a fully custom PC would provide a better value/cost ratio, getting the parts might be challenging.

Thursday at 07:01 PM2 days I think grounded is keeping them afloat. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
Thursday at 07:38 PM2 days Yeah, Grounded (Grounded 2 slightly less, maybe) seems pretty popular - just a different audience vs. what Obs was originally known for. I often see it mentioned/listed with other popular survival/craft/build/co-op games now, when ppl list such on Steam fora.It's in my current wheelhouse of game genre likes, but I still haven't tried it myself. The setting and youthful chr focus doesn't appeal to me I guess. I mean, I didn't even really like those Honey I shrunk the kids movies. Maybe one day. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
Thursday at 08:23 PM2 days The second one is still in early access so that's probably why. I'm in the same boat, I like these kind of games nowadays, but I have yet to try it. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP

Friday at 05:40 AM2 days Still crazy to me that after everything, Grounded is what Obsidian has real success with. Unbelievable. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Friday at 05:59 AM2 days 18 minutes ago, Lexx said:Still crazy to me that after everything, Grounded is what Obsidian has real success with. Unbelievable."Honey, I Shrunk The Kids -- The Game" is easily their most efficient elevator pitch since "A New CRPG From The Makers Of Planescape:Torment + Fallout 1+2 + Icewind Dale". The latter triggered primarily nostalgia though, whereas the former was something fresh and untapped into (as to gaming anyways).On Obsidian's own traditional genre home turf, Larian (The "definitive" D&D Simulator) and Warhorse (Dungeons WITHOUT Dragons, Medievals for REALZ) recently found a lot catchier ideas. And if the latter don't blow it, "OMG! LOTR -- but it's finally a proper single-player RPG!!!" will be huge too.IMO. Edited Friday at 06:55 AM2 days by Sven_
Friday at 11:17 AM1 day Oh well, these are bad times(financially). I expect at least a few studios to shut down. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

Friday at 05:35 PM1 day As far as output is concerned I think Obsidian did rather well overall. Seems they function well under reported Microsoft’s light touch. They delivered Grounded, Grounded2, Pentiment, Avowed and Outer Worlds2. Some of those were critical successes, some genuine hits. Still, quite a few things got done in those years.edit. I am thinking of this statement. At the time I remembered thinking it pragmatic and perhaps missing ambition that can be so alluring to hear about, but keeping things modest might make them an asset worth holding into. Rather then aiming for an expensive masterpiece that may/may not pay off.https://www.eurogamer.net/avowed-studio-plans-to-make-its-100th-birthday-by-staying-lean-and-invested Edited Friday at 05:40 PM1 day by Wormerine
Friday at 08:11 PM1 day I'd suspect Obsidian is pretty safe because because MS want more frequent Fallouts/ TES and have said so publicly. There's only one extant non Bethesda studio which has done a Fallout previous. And, well, it looks a bit... silly, having a very popular Fallout TV show but no game (exc f76) on the table to take advantage of it.
Friday at 09:57 PM1 day I don't really understand the gaming industry, I guess. Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed were extremely good games. They told a good story, they were fun to play, and I finished them. Personally I don't want a bunch of games that overstay their welcome. I don't want every game to be a live service that expects you to play for years to come. I want a good 1-4 weeks of entertainment and then I want to move on with my life.
