  You are correct in that all technically fit the definition of computers. However consumers don’t care about technical definitions or think rationally about purchases. They don’t all do a rational analysis of the products on the market that would accomplish their goals and spend accordingly. They walk into GameStop and buy one of the boxes that makes call of duty show up on their living room tv. Just like the Deck fits the definition of a handheld computer with a built in screen and controllers for playing games but isn’t stealing any customers from the switch.

  Deck isn’t selling millions and it’s doing just fine. The Steam Machine will be a small computer box priced as such and there won’t be a single person that decides to buy it over a ps5, and that’s fine. Valve doesn’t have to compete with consoles cause they don’t make consoles.

  Valve themselves have said that the Machine will not be priced like a console but like an entry level PC whatever that means. The only people that will notice this to buy it are people who already know what a PC is.

  It’s a small computer, it isnt going after the Xbox or PS5 customers. It’s going for the people who want a computer in their living room.

  Save the environment by NOT doing a bullshit chore? Sounds like a fuckin win to me. I already wasn’t going to, but now I can feel smug about it.

  This is the single most innocent quirk I have ever come across, if it stops you from sharing in the discourse you must not have had much to say in the first place. Seriously, our world is so fucked up that one person choosing to use an old letter for fun or personal enjoyment is sooooo far down my concerns list. You might as well be worried about what color shirt they are wearing right now.

  I just wanted to say thank you for the spoiler. I have arachnophobia though regular spiders only kind of weird me out unless they are like coming at me. But anything even remotely more than that and I wouldn't be able to handle it. I choose to live my life believing scorpions are fake for example. Anyways, thanks for hiding the scary picture on the internet when you didn't have to.

  Without digging into my old love of things like Enya and Adiemus to see if anything actually matches I can recommend Valhallelujah probably still not quite what you were looking for.

  This isn't a petition like change.org.
  It's to get this brought in front of politicians that HAVE to make a ruling based on it.
