    No, the interesting part is not that Valve is releasing a box.

    The interesting part is that they are releasing a desktop platform linux OS that is basically a commitment from the largest and most integrous digital distribution platform in the world that has an unshakable chokehold on gaming, past, present, and future. It’s a declaration of war upon Microsoft, in a time in society where the people also desperately need a champion for home computing.

    The interesting part is Valve is positioning themselves to potentially do an incredible amount of good for a lot of people fed up with publicly traded companies min-maxing extraction of money and forced reliance upon inferior service and software.

    It’s not a box with steam on it. It’s an OS option for those of us that want to game in peace.




  • I want to suggest the decca phase four stereo Robert sharples London orchestra version from the 60s

    Kind of hard to find, but imo, this is the definitive version of it. It has some overdriven and murky sections, but the pacing, instrumentation, stereo spread, and imaging is hot sex. It’s not that realistic but I don’t give a fuck. Also, YouTube probably isn’t the best for this sort of listening, but it mostly gets the point across, and I couldn’t find this recording on any streaming service. A very fun listen to just get lost in.

    Edit: 5:50 is the start of the dance of the sugar plum fairy
