@valvesoftware.com gon' make me lose my mind.

Look at the cool hardware comin'!

I mean, the headset... meh. Over it, BUT love the continued innovation there. Of all the VR Headsets I've worn / used: Valve is best. Not even close.

#SteamMachine😍 Oof! Take My💰!

Original image is really off-model. Before we commission, can we give the artist some notes?

Quick edit attached. 😂

Also, we need the “gold” to look less realistic - it should look more like spray painted gold than real gold leaf.

Only lies detected🤬

Bill translation:

"The lawsuits from customers & fines are super expensive!

We're also being forced to upgrade & maintain all the infrastructure.

Why should we have to pay for all that stuff? Here, customer: you pay!

K? Thx. Bye!"

Okay… you lost me when you had a feature with dead-eyed creepy Mr. Beast.

Where have you seen that smile before…?

Well, if you had kids: you recognize the very same “smile.”

It’s the one they make as they look you in the eye while loadin’ up their diaper.

Disappointed... never surprised.

Oh, that's... Really.... so.... exciting....

By "exciting" I mean "useless"

Hope shareholders & Wall St are impressed. Make the number go up, even if value of the actual product does not.

Cool how I don't even get to say NOPE.

Zero imagination. Just FOMO and Pattern-Matching.

The entire song is GUITAR FREE. It's meandering, introspective, navel gazing. (I love me some U2, btw).

wTaF is this song doing on the list?

Then, reader, buckle your non-sequitur musical seatbelt:
Cut to CRAZY TRAIN, which clearly does fit the pillars of the playlist! 🤘

😂 AI is great at writing jokes. The simulation would like to know if you are real.

Please lick the screen to confirm you are alive.

The death-spiral of stupid will be broadcast on every channel.

Thank goodness the Switch 2 arrived yesterday so I can put something worth watching on my television.

Oh... nothing. Just went to the Routledge Publishing website to check on a pre-order for a cool new book and see this in the TOP SELLERS LIST. 👀🤯

Yeah, totally normal. Everything's fiiiiiine.

The only way this headline could be more dystopian, horrifying, and USELESS… would be for the sentence to end with “in partnership with Trump Administration.”

To be fair: it’s Altman, and this product that are the worthless & extravagant trifecta — not The Verge’s article

But.... I can't "try again later"
You've got me on a timer.
It's expiring! 🤬
You have 4:39 to fix the problem. ⏳

Hmmm. Saving you trouble of clicking an article where they cared so much they couldn't proof-read the headline...? 🤫

BTW - dropping Dudamel + LA Phil on the slate is not something I had noticed before.

Props to the peeps at #GoldenVoice, who always curate an amazing bill.
