  • A few things:

    • Several of your devices have the feature you want, but you ignore or defeat them because you want another feature as well (play next episode, etc)
    • You could look into Google Home Automations, on your Android phone, where you set a specific time, 00:30, to automatically turn off the CCwGTV.
    • Last, this is one area where home audio / video (AV) receivers help; just connect everything to the AV receiver and when it goes off, due to its sleep timer, everything else goes with it. Likewise, when you turn on the AV receiver, everything else plugged in turns on.










  • Regardless of why it came into existence, it would be a better Steam Controller successor in every way except that it is ugly; Never say never dude… 😜

    I seriously doubt they would maintain the current Steam Controller profile, but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible.

    I’d be perfectly happy if they did just refresh the original Steam Controller, but I doubt they will. I think it sold poorly enough to the point where the second iteration has to be a slam dunk – and what better way to ensure that than to base it on the ever popular Steam Deck.


  • Yeah, I don’t know why they’d use that image. It’s so lazy and uncreative. That’s not what it’ll look like.

    I don’t care what any future Steam Controllers look like as long as it is comfortable and maintains base feature parity with the original.

    You seem to think that Valve would never release such an uninspired design, but Valve has already shown images of their Steam Deck prototype iteration with exactly this: the screen of the Steam Deck removed with the left and right sides right up against each other.

    Valve even went on record in an interview talking about it saying that they did it to iterate faster on the ergonomics and comfort of holding the Steam Deck without wasting the material or manufacturing time to include the screen; therefore, they very well could release something similar as a future Steam Controller knowing that it would have the exact same ergonomics as the Steam Deck








  • the 7900 to the 4090.

    Not really; the 7900 XTX is more in competition with Nvidia’s 4080. The 7900 XTX can hold its own against Nvidia’s 4090 in a few tests, but 1:1, Nvidia’s 4090 does not have a rival.

    There are also XT versions which is AMD’s version of the Ti line.

    Again, no… the XTX versions are AMD’s high-end offering with the XTs being the mid-tier offering.
