>I tried learning machine language at one point but found it incomprehensible.

Eventually you get used to all the opcodes. But really it's much easier when you assign mnemonics to the opcodes. You probably would have had better luck if you learned the Assembly Language for each of those processors instead of going straight to machine language. Can't blame you though.

What if they're cooking something else we have no idea about?

Okay okay, you don't have to sell me on it. I already said I'm going to buy it already.

You all are welcome. I sent Gabe an email Saturday, telling him it's time to announce the GabeCube2. I take full credit for all this, hahahaha.

Leaks again hint at Valve doing a proper Steam Machine Console

gateway PCs

Agreed, the Steam Deck is an easy on ramp to PC gaming. That's why I think the Steam Console will be key. Console like experience while under the hood you are PC gaming on your TV with console effort.

I don't think that was a Valve console. I still think Valve will release a console this year. Would be a mistake if they don't. Unless they got some real reasons to wait until 2026. Whatever they release, it better be more powerful than this "fremont" device. If they do release a console this year, then my LCD Steam Deck will easily last until 2027 or 2028.

We definitely need that Steam Controller 2 as well that's for sure.

Seriously can't come soon enough.

Valve confirm that Steam purchases with PayPal have been limited to a few select currencies

Paypal is enabling the PyUSD stablecoin on the Stellar network, next month. That should make settling transactions in any currency, extremely cheap. I bet that is what's going on.

Dang, English language only, 6.31%. I'm sure there will be some sort of regression next month but, that network affect is starting to kick in.
