Last thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I just outgrew my Raspberry Pi server and needed the power so I turned the PC into a server. It was already connected to the TV and used for games, at the time I used it for VR which is how it ended up in the lounge connected to the TV.

I sold my Index a while back but I'm keen for a Steam Frame if it ever actually gets released and is able to be got. Steam don't sell hardware to NZ which can make it a bit tricky, but I managed with the Index and earlier with the Steam Controller, so hopefully I can work this one out.

Yeah we might get the usual high prices from importers like the Steam Deck if it's not officially sold here. But honestly if the trajectory of PC part prices continues, it might still be value for money.

Yeah perhaps, as long as we don't have to mortgage the house to get one 😅
