Thats like having 10% of the US population running steam at the same time. Less impressive when thought of world wide, but absolutely nutty to think that many people have it installed and running.
For you and I just hobbyists, AI is a godsend and I agree.
In this professional setting it would appear much more genuine to consumers and truly creative if it was art without the use of generative AI to fill in the background detail.
In high school I played a pen and paper RPG with my friends called Rifts. When I was the DM I regularly had a Cyber Knight as a character of note, I felt they had a really cool mythos and played well into what mood I was going for that was never ever ruined by silly or mischievous players…...
The timing actually bit me in the ass, as I got my SD only a few months before building a new 4k 120hz rig and TV update.
It gets its use more casual, quick gaming. When it is 930 PM I don’t want to take over my living room to game for an hour before I have to go to bed. So I pop on Shovel Knight Dig of whatever and dick around. Very rarely now is it my main gaming machine.
BUT
I use it in desktop mode for one of my two living room TVs. Its so FUCKING awesome having a full PC I can charge and keep alive with just a high powered USB C cable. Its an amazing media PC because of its size and doomed profile.
I actually use the ergo keyboard pictured in the thumbnail and I actually really like it. Not love, but for WHF CAD drafting its fantastic.
Like its all plastic build quality, and the buttons arent fantastic, but man is the built in wrist rest and the endless amount of availible keys It does its job great.
I hope they can maybe introduce higher quality materials, but I wont hold my breath. Overall this is a net positive buts its so weird how willing Microsoft is to cook up full products and axe official support seemingly randomly.
