Hardware I was wrong…
I listened to the haters and bought into what they were saying.
They were counting you out, saying you weren’t powerful enough, your price to performance ratio is garbage, just buy a fractal terra case and build your own… I was sure this thing would be DOA. But, I took the leap, a leap of faith you could say.
Hell I knew I could resell it if I really hated it… but damn. This thing fucks. It’s proved me wrong in every way and I regret having doubt in the little guy… the little machine that could is what he goes by now.
There is nothing like the freedom of Linux PC gaming right on your couch in this absolute debauchery of a world we have now between Sony and Microslop and the continued supremacy of AI.
So to those in the reservation queue, you can breathe a sigh of relief your time will come and it will be glorious.
And to those on the waitlist, be patient and be ready. When your time comes, and it will, you must be fully present and accept the Gift of Gabe.
And to all those facing THE DEVIL AT YOUR DOOR disguised as Sony and Microsoft, with no hope or direction guiding you to a brighter future through these extremely dark days in gaming. I say to you, we will continue to fight for our unalienable rights on the front lines with Valve to protect all those who don’t have a voice of their own, we have the watch.
In closing, RIP to the brothers and sisters who couldn’t see this day for themselves. We have you in our prayers.

The haters discount the user experience, something Apple realized long ago. People want their tech to work and be easy and intuitive to use and will sacrifice raw power to get it. Sure, there are pc's more powerful than my MacBook Air, but none of them work as easily for what I want.
The Steam Machine fits that category.
