One of the ways the Soviets lost the cold war was that the USSR was just straight up a smaller country than the US. The US just had more resources to throw at whatever dick measuring contest they decided to engage in.

With the new cold war with China that shoe is on the other foot.

The steam machine will be about as powerful as your PS5. It's unfortunate with pricing being where it is.

I always just upgrade my PC piecemeal. The biggest component for you to upgrade first would be your GPU. Even a RTX3060 or a RX6600 would be an improvement over what you have there.

If you went with the AMD option and installed bazzite/linux that would be pretty close to the specs for the upcoming steam machine. You would probably benefit from some of the optimizations Valve will inevitably do for their hardware over the next couple years... That is if you don't need Windows for anything.

On your CPU you have a ton of options on the AM4 platform and 16GB of ram is still very usable.

Or just see what the actual steam machine does on pricing. But I'm no longer as optimistic about that given what Valve just did with pricing on the steam deck.

All right we just need the rooster. Does even one single lemming have a single shred of swag?

Who am I kidding, I think our team is fucked.

Which member of this gang would you be?

I feel like rooster is their leader, so I probably don't have the swag to be rooster, though I wish I could be... After careful consideration, I think I'm goat.

It's still bad that the most generous interpretation is the DNC is being fleeced by incompetent freelancers.

It also implies that the DNC has little interest in understanding why they lost. No mention of Biden's age, even if to say it had no effect. No mention of Gaza, even if to say it had no effect.

If they have a better post-mordem, that does explore these topics I'd love to see it.

It makes it seem like they weren't that serious about beating Trump if they're still willing to hire incompetent people that avoid tough analysis.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are still the House and Senate leader for the dems. Jefferies is Pelosi's handpicked successor.

What part of the leadership do you believe has changed? What are their names?
