    * Even if you assembled it yourself you would be missing features, such as cec, wake by controller, sleep mid game, etc.

    I’ve been actively mass downvoted on Reddit for being excited for these features. People are really fucking stupid sometimes.

    I have a significantly more powerful PC (in a tower case) currently hooked up to my tv surviving the same purpose and I will likely be getting the Steam Machine entirely for these features.

    “But just use a dongle” they say. And I do. It works about half the time and I have to do this weird dance involving pulling up Kodi

      I’d bet it was more about the phrasing and it probably commented in a way that downplayed concerns other people had.

        You’d be wrong then.

        “Why exactly would anyone want this?”

        “CEC, that alone sold it for me”

        points -30

          I just can’t take your word for it. It doesn’t pass my smell test and I haven’t seen it.

          Neither phrase even turns up results.

            Wait did you seriously put effort into searching for my posts just to try and be right?

            Mate. I appreciate your absolute derangement here but it was like a week ago in a circlejerking thread and I got downvoted because it was a circlejerk. The same kinda post has probably happened like 2 million times at this point across reddit.

              Its always amazing when people act like less than 15 seconds of effort is a monumental amount of when things arent going their way to try to attack someone for attempting to verify their claims.

              Literally 2 searches, but apparently thats big effort to you. You spent more time typing out this comment.

              it was like a week ago in a circlejerking thread and I got downvoted because it was a circlejerk

              You said something not jerking in a thread that was openly for jerking, that also is not possible to find, and this proves that reddit has an unreasonable opinion on this box.

              This all sounds ridiculous and now I just don’t believe you at all, especially with the ridiculous jump to hostility.
