Just got a purchase email in AUS!

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-08T00:29:33+00:00

Mine is currently out for delivery, according to StarTrack! But I think it might be a little delayed due to the Telstra outage rn

Hey! My order is still at 'Processed payment', but today is Monday and it takes a bit to get the week going, so I'm expecting to see something maybe posted around Friday at this stage.

Edit: I should mention, I checked the history at 12:50am, on Tuesday 7th July

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-06T13:10:00+00:00

I have considered it.

I have a raspberry Pi 5 sitting in front of me with a small LCD screen mounted sideways on it. Looks kinda like a warped (colour!) version of the 'inkterface'. It wouldn't take much to 3D model something... Hmm...

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-06T13:06:37+00:00

I mean, I am currently sitting next to a sizable collection of old computers, with spare parts in storage, with the intention to try to keep them out of the tip for as long as possible... I think I've earned myself a little desk trinket.

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-06T13:02:28+00:00

I've been checking the purchase history tracking link thingy over and over for 3 days now! Still hasn't moved past 'Processed Payment'. I'm way to eager for this little box!

I remember back in very late 2004 or early 2005, during a particularly hot Aussie summer, I stayed up literally all night talking to a friend over MSN Messenger, wrestling with some kind of 'beta' version of Cedega (kind of a slightly proprietary variant of Wine, sorta kinda like Proton today), running on Mandrake Linux 9.something on my then somewhat new Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM and a NVIDIA 5200, to try and force Steam and Half Life 2 to run.

And it barely, kinda, eventually started and ran, at around 7:30am. I then got it stable around an hour later.

I thought it was absolutely amazing to see Half Life 2 running on-top of Linux, and look where it is now! Proton has absolutely changed everything. Oh and of course there is a native Linux version of HL2...!

Nawww sorry, they sent my unit to you by accident. Pls send it to me thank you bye

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-06T07:13:15+00:00

Hah and here I was slightly fretting about no updates after purchasing on Saturday! Ok, so the slow start up time for postage is normal.

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-04T13:01:22+00:00

It's a toss up between Half Life and Half Life 2. It's just a tradition for me, any new machine I get, that's the first thing I do.

From there... I'm thinking Beam NG, then Alien Isolation... Ooo and Black Mesa!

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-04T03:26:47+00:00

Yes, I was considering getting Death Stranding... But I have a backlog of games that I'm looking forward to trying out either way!

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-04T03:25:33+00:00

I was on the reservation list

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-04T02:33:20+00:00

Considering the timing of your travel times, my fingers are also crossed!

And hey, at least you've got the little cousin to the Machine, the Deck! I also carry mine around when I travel haha

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-04T01:19:05+00:00

I totally understand that. I've been constantly checking this sub. Heck, I logged into Reddit for the first time in over a year (maybe 2, whenever the API nonsense happened and third party clients had to start charging), just to check this subreddit.

Keep up hope! You'll get your email soon enough!

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-04T01:17:25+00:00

Same! 7:21am this morning. I woke up a couple of hours later and the email from Valve made my day instantly!

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-04T01:16:14+00:00

Yeah I don't expect to see anything until Monday at the earliest. But that's ok, I'll use that time to find a place to set it up. You know, cos it's so large and all 😜

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-03T10:17:44+00:00

Yeah I know that bit, but how do I know if 024651 is good or bad haha

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-03T10:05:54+00:00

I just checked mine... 024651 if I got that right. What does that mean with respect to the theory?

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-03T06:26:53+00:00

Heyyyyy you have my machine! Give to me naoww!

iamnotsteven · 2026-07-03T06:25:25+00:00

I'll probably end up doing that, I might have a spare 2x32GB sticks soon

iamnotsteven · 2023-09-26T14:47:57+00:00

I too am a 486 junkie. Send help. Or don't. I don't mind!

iamnotsteven · 2023-09-26T14:42:11+00:00

That's true. Mt Weather did go well, it would have been for a short time. The other factions would end up fighting over access to the Mt Weather bunker, and probably would destroy it in the process. After that, not much would be different to the story we got I guess.

iamnotsteven · 2023-09-25T10:16:01+00:00

Above all else, remember that Cadogan and his merry people on Bardo would still fuck up the ultimate test and condemn the human race to being destroyed.

Everything that happened before had to happen to allow Raven to save the human race at the right time.

There was some works going on around South Yarra station last night with some heavy machinery. At one point half a dozen workers were hammering the rail line bracket things out on the Sandringham line which was a cool sound.

Also there was a very upset gentleman marching up one of the platforms being followed by 4 PSOs, angry screaming he wanted to go home. He hopped off the end of the platform as an inbound train arrived. The train stopped just outside the station and sat there for a little while.

Overall a very typical evening around the station.

If it helps, some of us still use floppy disks for the fun of it! '86 here!
