Finally, the year of the Linux desktop
Look, I happen to know what this is but I really hate posts that just assume everyone knows what they’re talking about.
So for everyone else: this is the newly announced Steam Machine, a gaming PC/console that will run SteamOS (Linux) (or any other OS of your choice) and overall looks freaking awesome.
The gabe cube
I just want to say that while it does run SteamOS (arch, btw) by default, Valve has explicitly said that you can run whatever OS you want and they don’t care. Which is even cooler IMO.
Though I would probably run SteamOS.
Good point, I edited that in :)
What’s the setting? Something we should recognize?
I believe that have swapped the Steam Machine in for the Kaaba at Mecca- the Islam holy site. The Kaaba is already a big black cube, so it works well.
For the record it’s not just a cube, it has an inside. With furniture and stuff. But looks like that on outside.
I didn’t know the Steam machine came with furniture, that’s cool!
The Gamecube™
No. It’s the Gabecube!
You are doing the Lord’s work, son. The LORD’s.
Mashallah
Please don’t be some rule about representations of the Kaaba
Edit: I didn’t know there was a 🕋 emoji
All Hail the GabeCube!!! All Hail the GabeCube!!!

Linux Wahhabism is going to be so weird.
Down with
proprietaryharam software!there’s a difference?
Regular Wahhabism cuts too many fat checks to Larry Ellison.

“WORSHIP THE HUGE BLACK CUBE!”
“NOO! WORSHIP THE SPHERE, THE SPHERE!”
“INFIDELS! WORSHIP THE DODECAHEDRON, THE ONE TRUE SHAPE!”
The shoe! Follow the shoe!
IT’S A SANDAL!
HEATHEN!
SPLITTER!
Excited to see who wins the religious schism in this thread 🍿
True believers worship the icosahedron.
Don’t believe me? Roll initiative!
Hexagons are bestagons
Tetrahedron or GTFO
This is still one of the most bizzare things I’ve ever seen in humans. Pure hivemind behaviour. Walking in circles like goalless ants (true phenomenom). The place itself just feels to dystopian, holy place surrounded by blatant corruption and capitalism, perfect religious milking machine.
Is that semi circle direct access for rich scum?
yeah, the golden circle, just like on Taylor Swift concerts;-)
That was my instant take, yes. It wasn’t there before. But now they got a needle’s eye for all the camels to pass through.
Or it’s an information kiosk! “Ask us anything about the Cube! We also guess your weight for a fee!”
Scalpers’ pit
Waiting for the Playstation Pyramid and the XBox Globe
When xbox 720?
I’m kinda interested on the different frontplates and skins people will give their GabeCubes. I saw that valve had a e-ink front panel for development, though, they wouldn’t sell it.
Someone is going to make a skin for it that is just GabeN, and honestly I would do that too because it’s funny

DO YOU FOLKS LIKE COFFEEEEEE??!?
Somebody’s gotta mod one with a companion cube shell. The memes won’t stop
I tried opening the link but my screen started smelling like diarrhea. You got mirror?
https://dbrand.com/shop/limited-edition/companion-cube
I don’t know why people share a social media link instead of the actual page.
It’s almost as big as the Xbox360. We can reuse all the all the old memes
You mean the Series X?
It’s about the same footprint but much shorter.
I can only find a black-and-white waldo
Racist.
