personally I do think it's a distinction worth making, but obviously this isn't the time for it and obviously the real question is "did he do evil crime things" not "which word describes the motivation behind the evil crimes in question"

I guess I should say "I don't think exclusives will be a big selling point in favor of this over the consoles unless they release half-life 3"
I'm definitely in favor of valve making more games, though

I assume those are more expensive? it seems like they're hoping people who want more performance will use streaming
one video I saw one of the engineers say they're targeting a 7 W TDP for the SOC, too, so that seems very low for a laptop or desktop chip
