Gabe Newell is 62 years old. Gonna enjoy this gravy train while we can...

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Man I hope he lives to a 100 at least, why am I always late to the party, I learn about Limewire and it dies the next year, I get access to my sister's Netflix account and Netflix goes to shit, I'm finally able to afford a gaming laptop and buy Steam games and now I'm too busy and tired from work to play them and Gabe is getting older. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently

Instead of wishing it was the past, imagine its the future and you want to go back to now to tell yourself something. What would that be?

I'd tell myself to start investing my money and hit the gym, but I'm unemployed right now and I know once I'm employed again finding the time in this rat race is gonna be difficult but I'm gonna start valuing my time more seriously, I've uninstalled doom scroll apps like Instagram and I'm working on time blocking my tasks, hopefully that pays off

Good for you! I hope you find a good job soon.

In the meantime, I recommend doing some exercise because that's something you can completely control your progress on. If you don't have a gym membership, body weight workouts are absolutely a thing you should check out.

My understanding is that gaben has already put an action plan in place for when the company moves on from his leadership.

From what I've heard of it, the people in line behind Gabe will be upholding the same values.

We should have at least another ~40 years or more of this before sometimes entitled brat inherits the company and sells it off to a foreign interest.

With all that being said: long live gaben.

Gaben is gonna be the first person to digitally upload their consciousness.
