I would argue the flat management makes it hard for Valve to produce things and they should re-evaluate it, but you can do this while also not turning into a rank and yank shit out fortnite clones 420 69 flossing scheme to fuck over users and line their pockets.

Unless they fuck it up somehow in recruiting a new CEO, Valve really wouldn’t find it hard to ask a new CEO “Here’s our revenue, and our expenses, our profits. How would you keep this in place without crashing our revenue stream and maybe doing new greenfield stuff?”

If their first words are: “Well, I like the idea of charging our customers an install fee…” you know to keep looking.

My concern is his son despite having this shit DRILLED INTO HIS HEAD (which I can’t guarantee) will chase a cashout. That’s the one problem with nepos.

The other problem is if he’s qualified for the job. Which feeds into point 1.

Its really hard to get a look inside Valve, because I can’t confirm/deny the Steam Deck came about because of the flat management. I’ll be honest, my apprehension about their management stems from the many failed attempts to conclude the franchise they started in Half-Life and how 20 different projects died to get to Alyx. Would a change in leadership get us more of the same? Maybe. It would probably be a substandard product, and i’m still recovering from Starfield being mid.

Well his name didn’t show up in Epstein’s public records (unlike a certain CEO from a company Microsoft bought/CEO that founded/ran Microsoft) so we’re fine there.

And I did look. Extensively.

It’s a good sign because 1) He’s smart enough to not have a paper trail and/or 2) His hobbies are innocuous, like, I think he really only cares about submersibles and knives and he wasn’t stabbing people on some carbon fiber tube near the titanic so he’s not a dumbass either.

I know right, its almost like the dumbass in charge at Tesla is a different person than the one in charge at Valve!

There used to be a great fifth house of Craftsman…

And let’s not even talk about Snap-on, Northern, or AmazonBasics

I actually have a set of some 74 hand tools from Craftsman my dad gifted me in 1995, and surprisingly they have lasted me for some 30-something years in excellent condition. Power tools, I can’t go that far back. I imagine B&D has ruined everything Sears left behind.

Because I saw accounts elsewhere that Sony is only providing parts and support for these projectors now, and Alamo is changing vendors. They half assed it, not Sony.

These are all accounts I saw on The Verge and I cannot independently verify them.

Good news! Sony has exited the business, and its basically Alamo’s fault they didn’t move faster on their vendor change.

These are all accounts I saw on The Verge and I cannot independently verify them.

I know these are issues with any tech but the amount of expertise and culture around 70mm film at least guarantees its continued adoption for some.

I told my dad a pegging party was when you had the bros on the back of your bikes.

I’m now expecting my mom to text me back any second now.

Buy citizenship out of the US and build a better country abroad with your foreign investment. Not much to do with the way things are going, but you can make Ireland or Monténégro a better place.

It takes 75 lines to draw a blank window. It takes like three in CoreAnimation in macOS. We really need an OSS take on CoreAnimation but I’m also fine leaving the graphics work to a game engine.
