Valve's legendary curse of not naming something "3"
Valve's legendary curse of not naming something "3"
HThat was on the Orange Box, good times, also marked the last few years where TF2 ever got an update!
TI need to dig out my HL1 cd somewhere
Tare the ISOs on bazzite.org all offline installers?
HWhich Proton?
KYes
TThe Deck already broke that
T2 years ago
KI use experimental
HI use experimental too, 9.0, still doesn't want to run properly
ZWhat, when did even the deck 2 come out?
ZWtf
KAnd the new beta?
HBeta of Black Mesa or Proton?
TWhat OS did it come with, and what version number was it?
KMesa
Hoh nope I'm on stable
HI'll try the beta
Hoh shit
HYou're right
HSteamOS 3.5
HWhat the fuck I never thought about it this way
TNo one ever does
TThey read that Windows driver page and misunderstand it not knowing that SteamOS 3 is already out
HI know SteamOS 3 is out I just never like
Hconsciously realized that it's a valve product named 3
HFYI I know 3 is out because Valve is still lying about the official dualboot tool coming out :vegeta:
ZI don't think that the os version really counts my dude, it is very rumored among valve employees that gaben is highly superstitious and 3 is a number he is terrified of, don't know if workplace rumors are true or not or used as joke among employees.
TIt’s easy to disregard things that would otherwise go against what you want
ZSource is my American wife's uncle works for valve.
He calls sometimes and he is awesome.
He calls sometimes and he is awesome.
TIt’s a major departure from versions 1 and 2, it counts
Hterm... it's sarcasm
TFirst sentence is the part I’m responding to because it’s in line with other serious comments I have seen
TNot the clear sarcasm
KI just reinstalled Sunshine and I'm experiencing this too. rpm-ostree updated and sunshine 0.22. Steam deck LCD. Only in Desktop mode.
Hi wouldn't put it past Gabe to lose his shit at the mention of the number three
AMy uncle works at Lego lmao
AOr nuntendo6
AHow did the joke go
HMicrosoft
ZYeah but a product version is very different from a product.
It isn't that much of a departure, steamos on the steam machine is still very similar.
It would be the same as calling half 2 version 3 for half life 3 because graphically, version 3+ is a major difference from the original release but that doesn't make it the third installment in a series.
Steam os is still steam os and not 2 or 3

HThe original joke is "my uncle works at Microsoft and he'll get you banned"
HCirca: the Xbox 360 Machinima era
ZI remember that era, one of my favorite memes 
ZDifference is we got no power over her uncle, he ain't sending us any early stuff, he ain't saying anything related to products of his workplace and he only communicate with us because his wife loves children and we just got a first kid in that kid's generation, so he calls, I end up chatting with him in order to try and fish info out of him about valve, and he only gives me info on funny workplace moments then his wife takes over because she wants to see our kid.
ZThis has happened like 4 times, he loves talking about work but never discloses anything.
ZI do truly wish he could've sent a steam deck or something like it though, it is very hard to get in Norway for a reasonable price.
ZI am oversharing again, sorry, that's my autism doing it's thing.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Hwait now I can't tell if you're being serious or not
ZSerious or not about what?
P
