With everything going on in the US the last few days, it's been bouncing around in the forefront of my thinking pudding.

I think we're going to bleed before this is done. Badly. On both sides. Hair on my neck is standing up.

Need to get out of here.

Yearly in Elementary school they made us watch Johnny Tremain, based on the book "The Shot Heard ‘Round the World". It's burned into my brain.

There is a famous Jefferson quote from the movie,

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

As of this hour, more people came to Digital Foundry to watch a video on the Steam Machine than they did for Grand Theft Auto 6 or DLSS 4.

I am not sure what that means, but it means there is a categorical great interest in the concept of the Steam Machine that can eclipse other mammoth DF topics.
Our video edited by @oliemack.bsky.social featuring his work with @elmore.zone is tracking to be our most popular video/news story of the year. It has yet to crack it, but it may end up being more popular than the DLSS4 reveal and GTA 6 videos.

That is interesting!

Big day at @digitalfoundry.bsky.social today! We have gone hands on with the new Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller. This stub page has the highlights of What You Need To Know and links to my MUCH longer features on all three devices. (I'm very proud of our work on all of this!)

They were too early and too ambitious 10 years ago but now the time is right for Valve to make a serious run at the living room with Steam Machine

Not an Xbox, not a GameCube, it's a new Steam Machine

Valve says this gaming PC has six times the power of Steam Deck, as they frame this as a device for Steam Deck users to upgrade to.

Fascinating

Yeah, I recommend picking this up immediately. It's a fantastic take on Lumines and probably my favorite version since the PSP original. Gorgeous visuals, great music and sound and excellent VR.
Lumines Arise out now, $35.99 on Steam (10% off launch discount) buff.ly/EVvaMXv
$39.99 US PSN buff.ly/H7Ut3jc

My quick impressions: Enjoying it overall with the Tetris Effect flavor, challenge mode levels has interesting varied mechanics (one level only drops pieces on the music beat)

1/2

It's probably the most personal thing I have ever published on the internet.
