Yeah nah. By that argument the HP Reverb is a Valve product. And all the Dell computers with windows stickers on them are as much official Microsoft products as the Xbox. And of course it will be niche. It's a mid range Linux PC. :-P

I'm happy saying HTC Vive was a Valve headset even though it's not made inhouse like the Index because Valve deigned and outsourced it. The only thing they licensed for the 2015 machines was some steam logo stickers. Attempted to launch the idea twice? Yes. But still not bought to market once. Yet.

So all that really happened is valve advertised a bunch of regular ass PC's on the steam front page (mostly from alienware) while simultaneously selling a bunch of steam controllers and steam links.

Misrepresenting history. Valve never made & sold one. Several other vendors made prototypes to ship with Steam OS & because they weren't a valve designed product valve told them they don't have to call them steam machines but they wont complain. Then Steam OS wasn't ready in time. Sold anyway.

You mean when they floated the idea and never actually released anything on the market you can buy? I think they'll beat that one for sale numbers.

Please add a section to the end credits that lists all the pronouns you can think of under the title "special thanks for existing". Just so every bit of vitriol they muster and criticism they post citing it can be responded to with "well someone clearly enjoyed the game enough to complete it".

That's because all the fake ones flooding the market have given a false sense of what's actually available at that price. Anything above 128gb is an actually unbelievable lie and even that value is sketchy. Fake ones report being large but fill em up and lose most your data. What a time to be alive.

Me: Gets notebook for taking quick notes. Saves space keeps them together nice and tidy. Time to take a note comes. Hmm this note doesn't seem worth wasting a notebook page on, I'm going to get a lose scrap of paper I can lose to write it on instead. Notebook becomes placemat for pile of lose notes.

I wish you well. And maybe even fountains.

I mean the interactive ones largely added by ambitions expansion I think. ones like Detective, Not-GhostbustersTM, Firefight. Sounds like you would have liked the Architect one, you got a budget and got to build houses and decorate them for the townies.

Medieval is like sims 3's "profession" jobs or like the World Adventure quests, but the whole game is just those. It's pretty good. Unlike the Sims 4's take on professions and quests.

Were it real it would be on the cover of every science magazine overnight. Ball lightning has never been caught on camera. First person to capture it is going to be instant famous in REAL news media, not a rando going "huh weird" on social media. (Also after effects filters in this one easy to spot)

Plenty of monster catcher spin off games on the market now. But I don't think we've seen an adventure game yet. The idea of having to have different mons on your team to solve different adventure puzzles in place of inventory items is fertile ground.
