Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

  • Steam OS v3
  • 3 products announced today
  • steam machine is a cube. Cube is three dimensions.

Half life 3, Team Fortresses 3, Left 4 Dead 3?

[–] plateee@piefed.social 51 points 2 days ago (3 children)

steam machine is a cube

Or would you say it looks like a box... Maybe an Orange Box!?!

I'm calling it - a limited release where the black shell is orange and it comes bundled with HL3 for free.

[–] Creosm@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

That would be amazing

[–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know you’re joking, and that would be enough to get me to buy one even though I don’t really have a use case for it.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I still have my boxed copy of the Orange Box on a shelf. It still sees use because every once in a while I get embroiled in a Kids These Days type of conversation and I need a prop to wave around.

I'd happily put an orange Gabecube right next to it.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I randomly kept my orange box case as a memento and found it recently. Lets find out if i can mod the steam machine to fit inside of it.

One of the shots of the steam machine had a "SoonTM" sticker

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I was thinking about this in another thread where someone made this joke: With how much stuff Valve does outside of gaming, are we sure they have never done a 3rd iteration of something before? Like, they do business stuff too and are into a ton of random tech related things like BCIs. We only ever really hear about the game related stuff, tho. Or possibly when Gabe gets a new boat since they interview him on it.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You might just be overthinking a joke...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 49 points 2 days ago

I'm just more committed to the bit.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A joke doesn't have to end with a punchline. Sometimes yes, anding is the best thing to do with a joke rather than just laughing and moving on.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, and the best jokes are famously the ones you need to explain. Sometimes the audience is wrong and they need to be set straight.

They have definitely had third iterations of things, but have they called them 3?

I mean there are at least 5 half-life games, they just called the third one 1 and the fourth 2 and the fifth wasn't numbered.

[–] CheesyFingers@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

The Steam app is on version 3 but the 3 isn't in the title.

[–] AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Nah, that's too obvious, could have just been a coincidence. This, though...

[–] turkalino@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago

I like how you were so excited, you couldn’t decide whether you wanted to highlight or circle it

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 days ago
[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

It uses arch, btw

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 day ago

Weight 2.6: 2/6 = 0.(3) = Infinite number of 3s

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m hoping that that ARM support on the new VR headset means a Steam Phone may be in the works.
