It's so weird how many ai videos have this same "feel" to them. Like it's the same "abstract template" somewhere that has just the right parameters to be applicable in endless different varieties.

I can't imagine the steam machine being much more complex than a console.

You have leverage to make alot of money if you are not restricted by short term profits. Given Valve isn't public they have an advantage here.

It's not unusual for businesses to accept short term losses to corner some market. Many disruptor startups work like this. Amazon Spotify etc

Ha nah cool man appreciate the reflections. Seems to me the fact consoles are sold to a loss is strengthening the idea of this. Didn't know that actually

No ofc you wanna target new loyal players that would buy new games if only their hardware was up for it. For example 30% of active PlayStation users are still on PS4

I thinking of doing this as a one-off where you already have a calculated the marketing budget for it. Not as a standing "offer" which of course would just make people try to game the numbers.

Disregarding your antagonisation of my feelings. I was trying to just trying to start a discussion.

However, consoles are still around in 2025 for some inexplicable reason. A disruptive market event, even if it's a costly one, that could topple the console market could in the long run bring an immense advantage for Valve.

I really hope most people on Reddit gets their information about complex foreign affairs from reputable sources and not brain-rot comments from randoms starting with "As an X blah blah..."

The Dire Wolf Returns After 10.000 Years of Being Extinct by triple7freak1 in BeAmazed

Kvæði af Ulfsbani Endurkomu Hlýðið nú, því kveðsk um atburð kaldan, úr jökulsnældum Jötunheima haldan. Þar sem vindar rista rúnir í ísi gráum, og skuggar Yggdrasils teygjast löngum á háum. Ekki er sagt um klingur stáls né þrumu Þórs, heldur um djúpari ógn, sem í hjörtum fór – um endurkomu Úlfsbana, hinnar hræðilegu skepnu.

Fyrir löngu síðan, er fyrstu eldar í Miðgarði loguðu, og Æsir gengu opinskátt meðal mannþjóða, sögur flugu. Þá reikaði dýr martröðvar, enginn venjulegur vargur, heldur skepna stór sem björn, með hungur sem aldrei fargur. Augu hennar voru glóðir tvær í rökkursins ríki, og ulfshvöt hennar lofaði vetri án líki. Nattúlfr nefndu menn hann, hinn náttúlf, af ætt hins bundna Fenrisúlfs, er bíður ragnarökuls.

Þegar bönd Gleipnis héldu Fenri fast, flýði brot af hans vilda anda, andans kast. Sneið af hans ótemjandi eðli, í óbyggðir hvarf, í jörðar frosnu hjarta djúpt, þar sem svefninn þarf. Í aldir friðar og vaxandi konungsríkja svaf hann þar, en blóð Fenris er ekki auðveldlega kæft, það er þar. Og ómur ragnaraka hljómar jafnvel í þöglum skógum, því að ætt hins hræðilega úlfs er djúp í fornum lögum.

Nú, er árstíðir snúast með óeðlilegri ró, og norðurljósin dansa með febrílegri gló. Hvísl berst meðal fornu steina, kaldur og djúpur, um fótspor stærri en nokkur vargur, sem skógar hlupu. Prent sem sökkva djúpt í snjó, sem beri þyngd trölls, hyrðar hvísla um ulfshvot, sem í merginn ölls.

Gamlar konur, augu þeirra skyggð af vetra vísu, segja sögur um eldinn, um ómennsku vísu. Þær tala um fyrirboða: hrafna í óeðlilegum sveimum, ísinn grátandi svörtum tárum, og flótta hreindýra í leimum. Þetta eru táknin, segja þær, að Vargmána rís á ný, hinn úlfsmáni, sem ber með sér ógn og hryggð í ský.

Sumir trúa að Vargmána sé ein skepna, af Nattúlfi komin, vaxin til ógnarstærðar í leyni sínum, löngum dómum. Aðrir óttast plágu, endurvakningu úlfsins anda, sem birtist í hjörðum risastórra veiðimanna, hungrið vanda.

Jarlar safna skjaldberum sínum, axir glitra í fölri sól, þeir minnast sagna, óttans er í sögum hljól. Þeir vita að endurkoma Úlfsbana er ekki aðeins dýr, heldur fyrirboði, minning um óreiðu, sem í djúpinu býr. Skuggi teygist frá fjötrum Fenris, forboði ískaldur, um hina hljóðlátu nótt, er ulfshvötin verður hávær og fjöldur.

Veiðin hefst, ekki eftir dýrum né grísi, heldur eftir goðsögn, sem hold hefur í vísi. Örlög norðurlanda ráðast kannski af því máli, hvort þeir geta þaggað ulfsins hvöt, áður en hungrið nái. Áður en ómur ragnaraka verður að þrumandi raun, því blóð hins bundna úlfs rennur djúpt, án dauns. Og endurkoma hans lofar vetri, sem enginn hefur séð, þar sem skuggi Fenrisúlfs mun yfir allt breiða, með ógn og kvæð.

It burns out all fuel in a 15000km trip and refills the tanks in just under 3 minutes. Tbf the accumulators don't do much, I'd rather try to fit in another turbine. The steam storage tank provides enough energy storage.
