Not being actively on Twitter has definitely hurt my ability to connect with certain brands and to connect with plenty of content creators, which sucks.
That said it just looks like a cesspool of negative mental health and I do not really want to go back. It's the plight of the content creator.

Steam Machine prediction 👀
Valve’s next Steam Machine likely lands late Feb–March 2026, priced around $749 (with a higher SKU near $949).
Not console-cheap. More like a living-room PC built for SteamOS + Proton.
Feels like Valve betting big on couch PC gaming again. 🎮💻

Speaking of Arkham Knight - it looks terrible on Xbox Series X and 4K. I do not remember if looking this bad on Xbox but it does look awful.
Mind you, I've beaten it on PS4, Xbox, and Steam Deck. Heck, this alone is why I want a Steam Machine lol. (Gotta have all 100 percent saves on one platform)
