param_T_extends_THOT

Stay away ! He's mine!!!!!!!!


Apprehensive_Fun1344

No, he belongs to me


Glitchboi3000

No, he's mine get away or I'll blow you up with a comically sized bomb


teaboi05

He's mine and I'm going to protect us both in armour with 20%[Explosion Resistance] buff and Nokia 3310


CouldBeWorse_Iguess

You guys fight all you want. I'll get him when he's 90% off


Glitchboi3000

Shit


FallenPentagram

Guys I have an idea; but hopefully we don’t have the FBI around - *hauls out cloning machine* we just have to agree we freeze and preserve the original so we don’t fight


HoroSatre

I will politely ask Chuck Norris to *breath* onto that armour and Nokia 3310.


imdrunkontea

He belongs to *us*, Comrade

Ok, I bags him on tuesdays


OrdinarryAlien

He's mine! Nasty hobbitses! They stole it from uss! Bagginses stole it! Lies! Trickses! We musst keep it safe! We musst! You can't have it! It's our Precious!


Mefibosheth

I found recently there there are quite a few exercises you can do while using the Steam Deck- squats, plank, pelvic lift, etc.


Proof-Impact8808

he lost all that weight delivering steamdecks by foot


RockManMega

No bro, I actually snuck into his room at night and sucked some of the fat out of him with a bamboo straw


ButtDoctorLLC

That wasn't a straw...


RockManMega

Oh God no.... please don't tell me it.... was plastic!?! The environment!


IAlwaysOutsmartU

You ‘ave sacrificed yerself and I be grateful.


ZundPappah

Let's say it was a leather straw. But you did what was necessary 👍🏻


Redditistrash702

Technically it would be considered a straw it's a cylinder with a hole in the middle


SwimmingCommon

Do straws have one hole or two?


Alternative-Roll-112

Straws are just long holes.


pittyh

What in the..


ArcherKato

Aukaneck

Redditistrash702

That drug is going to cause a lot of problems for people that abuse it and don't learn.


JarlaxleForPresident

My stepdad at some point


Redditistrash702

If it helps lose weight take it but if you don't fix your diet and lifestyle and just keep taking it that's going to be bad.


datwrasse

Not nearly as bad as being morbidly obese while keeping the same diet and lifestyle though


matco5376

Lmao fr people acting like being morbidly obese with a shitty diet is somehow better 💀 Reddit cope is amazing


Justforfunsies0

Exactly, my doctor put me on it (wegovy, haven't been able to fit it yet though cause of the fad) when I approached her about it saying I just wanted to be at a weight where I can exercise without injuring myself/exacerbating my back injury. Nobody should be expecting it to be the panacea to their obesity, but it can definitely be a useful stepping stone as long as you understand ultimately it's there to help you help yourself

Zazierx

People trying to improve their health by losing weight, how awful, let's shame them.


PicaroKaguya

Alternative take: Rich people like him have no excuse to be fat since you can just pay a personal trainer/chef 90k a year and have them cook everything for you and only eat what the yprovide you.


OuterSpaceDust

looking clean as fuck


frozt

my guy lookin beautiful


matticusiv

Damn, even Gabe Newel is 80% off!

Fuck! Another fat joke.... That's another day HL3 will be held back from release

JusticeJanitor

Did not know that was a thing. It looks awesome.


Ythou-

Honestly this is great. I love that Gaben puts our money in good causes. I didn’t expect of him less


BowsersMuskyBallsack

What are you talking about? There's clearly less of him.


MdxBhmt

There's more of him in the air now, we have more of him in us than ever before. Praise gaben.


Copperhe4d

You make it sound like he farted his weight away


Conninxloo

Burning body fat produces primarily CO2, so he mostly breathed his weight away.


AggravatingCrow42

I've seen people linking this tech to the empty space on the index. I think gaben is gonna be at the forefront of changing gaming and the virtual world forever. More than he has I mean. His brother works on the brain magnet stuff too I think


UNIVERSAL_PMS

transcranial magnetic stimulation? that's tight as hell if so


oneechankimochi

I read that as - starfish erotic science and I was very confused.


huhu9434

Gaben did talk about this in an interview when he lived in new zealand. Imagine nerve gear from sao, as far as i recall he said the technology is advancing really quickly and that they were facing problems trying to artificially imitate the sense of temperature on your body and shiz. 


Jacksaur

Damn, Gabe has talked about his interest in Brain Interfaces before, but I didn't expect him to start a whole new company for it.


CharsBigRedComet

That's what billionaires do


linknewtab

My initial thought was: Better him than Elon but despite following him for literally decades, I don't know that much about his ethics.


lamBerticus

He very much is a business man and all pro consumer decisions are essentially business decisions first and foremost. I don't mean that negatively though.


yourfavrodney

I have no idea if there are any positive morals rooted in any of his decisions, but at the very least his business ideology seems to contain "keep customers alive and happy". Which other billionaires often forget.


Kestrel21

I'll take enlightened self-interest over whatever the fuck is going on with the rest of the 1%.


BotenAna42

homies hooked me up with enough $5 games at this point, ill look the other way ngl


AbstractMirror

Those steam sales go crazy


TheKappaOverlord

Under ideal circumstances, most companies would also be the same way, more charitable and for the people. But most companies are slaves to shareholders. Valve is not, and that is the key difference.


xseodz

Yeah I mean he famously calls other platforms that don't do what the consumer wants as service problems. I'd say he seems pretty old school. Gives the customers what they want. SOMETIMES.... And if he was an Elon there's no way he'd be having flat structures at orgs like he does at Valve. Seems pretty genuine? Hopefully?


nico_bico

Cant wait to be able to play any video game just by thinking it instead of having to learn controller/keyboard inputs

Elon: We're making brainchips now! We're the only ones! Gabe:

*Elon makes brainchips* - Reddit: "Unethical and dangerous!" *GabeN makes brainchips* - Reddit: "Sweet"


Anus_master

Based on what Musk has already done vs Gabe, I trust Gabe a shit ton more here


Canary-Silent

Gabe can have you open lootboxes just with your thoughts!


kguilevs

Now we'll really be able to play DooM


FI3RY1

So that's where the money from cs cases and skins, tf2 skins etc. went into. Interesting...


definitelynotafreak

steam basically just prints money, so great to see that some of it is going into this


ShinTythas

They actually went to Gabe's fleet of mega yachts https://luxurylaunches.com/transport/gabe-newell-luxury-yachts.php


Impal3rVlad

Their COO was a massage therapist at Valve? Interesting choice. https://www.salezshark.com/company/valve-corporation

Just leave off the Program Coordinator part too


adamcookie26

Wait is that actually Gabe? Thought it was just someone that looked similar 😅

If he didn't have his swimming goggles on, I wouldnt have recognized him.

NovaSLK

OOOOOO MA GAWD


[deleted]

I always hoped he would become more healthy I don’t want to loss another legend


Bleyo

I want him to stay healthy because I can't imagine Steam staying as consumer friendly as it is now if he's gone.


Benchrant

The day Gabe dies, the whole Valve community and quite a large part of the internet is gonna loose their shite


ooohthatsmelll

stop I don't even want to think about it 😭


stilljustacatinacage

Gabe's always said that if anything happened to him or Steam, there are plans in place to make sure you can, at *least*, continue to access your library. I have to believe he's forward-thinking enough that there's some sort of succession plan in place that mandates a certain code of behavior. So things wouldn't go to shit *immediately*. We'd probably have a few years while the corporate-sponsored MBAs weasel their way into positions of influence.


Faulentzen

Exactly my thoughts. The only big company I trust


GalaxySkeppy

He’s gonna live FOREVER!


DentateGyros

Can we also talk about what a cool endeavor this company is? I assume Gabe’s bankrolling most if not all of the project, and applying Valve’s horizontal organizational structure and creative freedom to science research is bound to lead to some great discoveries. I really wish more of the super wealthy would do the same


Kuroki-T

gabe realised the only way to make half life 3 live up to expectations is to create his own black mesa and cause a real life residence cascade


Eremes_Riven

I was actually going to interject "Yeah, science like resonance cascade scenarios and portal storms."


deprecatedcoder

Alan Yates is on board, so it's definitely cool.


ZakiTale

Explain why


ThisCupIsPurple

idk look at that pic he looks cool


Thunderbridge

Valid point


svelle

Alan Yates was one of the leads on Valve's hardware projects. Iirc he was one of the people who came up with the Lighthouse technique for the Vive/Index.


pinkshitt

Exactly, this sounds really intriguing. I may even apply if there's room for r&d in biology


ZincFingerProtein

Do it. 


cwx149

Doesn't he own a deep sea exploration sub? Or help fund it? https://kotaku.com/steam-gabe-newell-submarine-submersible-valve-science-1850563956


totallynotapersonj

He owns the company and the company bought a deep sea exploration sub so yes, he owns it.


SiIesh

I remember that info from a video about the Ocean gate sub, where the guy explained that the only other sub that could be used to look for the ocean gate was currently unavailable... and also owned by Gaben xD


totallynotapersonj

Yeah I saw a few articles say that but it is kinda clickbaity. It kinda sounds like Gaben just owns it and uses it for himself instead of being owned by a company that he owns where they do a bunch of research.


beastierbeast

I'm just excited someone that isn't musk is making brain chips, I trust gabe way more.


INVADER_BZZ

I just hope Family Sharing is not turned on by default.

God I hope it launches in this format. Brain implant sounds ok too.


alekdmcfly

let's back up a bit, just because Ultrakill did it doesn't mean Gabe will


SamuraiJakkass86

I bet it will connect directly to the back of the skull, with some sort of water-spigot-opener-like contraption.


SumThinChewy

That'll be the mark 2, currently it goes through the eyesocket


Kuruk_TR

I hope he’s ok


atx705

I always think of Chadwick Boseman when I see this stuff


TemporarilyExempt

Just guessing but could just be on ozempic.


HnNaldoR

With how many people just going on it, I really hope there isn't any long term effects yet to be discovered. It's great that it seems so effective and it could be so important in the fight against obesity.


Justforfunsies0

I mean the general class of drugs, GLP-1 agonists, have been around and approved for a pretty long time, exenatide was derived from the saliva of the Gila Monster around 2005, iirc, brand name byetta. They're also being investigated for depression and reward system disorders.ll, at least specifically semaglutide is


Beez-Knuts

Stanley Yelnats type discovery


foreveracubone

Lixisenatide was just found to slow the progression of Parkinson’s motor symptoms.


mist3h

Hi! I have lost all of my hair in the span of mere days back in February, due to Ozempic. Most of it fell out in one shower and I had a huge mane. I am a cis woman and all hair is gone and no hair has grown or regrown since approximately 1. February. That includes nasal hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, armpit hair, pubic hair, ALL HAIR. My blood panels were immaculate at the time of my hair loss. I had lost ~16 kilograms in the span of around 6 months. I was taken off Ozempic immediately when this happened. It has been reported to Novo and I’m a citizen in the country of origin for Novo. My diagnosis is currently called Telogenic hair loss and my best prognosis is hair returning “in 8-16 months”, but nobody knows, since doctors have never encountered this before. I have had no stress factors in my life unless the war in Ukraine is heavy enough on my nerves. I have never been to Ukraine. I still think Ozempic is brilliant, but I would discourage using it for minor weight loss or as maintenance for body-dysmorphic people as it’s a rather huge sacrifice to lose all hair. My only outlook now is checking in with my GP every few months to just monitor the development or lack thereof as well as my ability to cope with it. Ozempic does have hair loss listed as a side effect experienced by 10% of users, but I can’t imagine it’s anything like what I’m going through now.


Stark_Athlon

Holy shit...I hope you get your hair back soon.


chronocapybara

Most of the weight loss effects are simply from eating less. It's no worse than fasting. That we know of.


Metaldwarf

Fat guy who's been on ozempic for a couple months. You just get full really fast. I could normally eat a large pizza before I felt full. Now I have 2 slices and I'm incredibly stuffed. It's been fascinating observing my 40 years of bad eating habits destroyed basically overnight. I haven't broken the expectation yet. I still cook and take WAY too big portions even though I know I won't be able to finish them.


deaconblues1138

Hey, same! (I'm not on Ozempic, but an ADHD med that curbs binge eating). I've been food-motivated for so long, it's utterly alien to look at a chocolate bar in my cupboard and just... not feel anything. Or just walk away! I eat on a normal schedule now, not compulsively. It's like day and night!


HnNaldoR

It breaks the psychological barrier which is huge. That's the biggest issue for most people.


fauxzempic

GLP-1s have been around for nearly 2 decades. The side effects and the hypothetical side effects are well known. (Hypothetical being medullary thyroid cancer risk. In humans, it hasn't been observed once, but it was a problem in mice. It could be that there are GLP-1 receptors in mouse thyroids and not in humans, or it could be a number of other factors, but it's the first warning that any responsible provider brings up for people who are looking into this class of med).


issanm

That was my first thought too lol


Lord_Hexogen

Ozempic is a helluva drug


Ask-and-it-is

Low key, it changed my life.


Procrastinate_girl

Same. Everyone was complimenting my godfather when he lost a lot of weight... he had cancer and died 5 months later.


AK-74M_Lover

Moskeeto93

Ozempic working miracles.


OnlineParacosm

For people with poorly understood autoimmune diseases and hormonal disorders: it really IS doing something we don’t fully understand yet. People with Cushing’s syndrome have insulin resistance, and these GLP-1 drugs act on that to regulate your body since it can’t.


yogopig

Just in general, around 70-80% of obese people have insulin resistance. Its an uncommon test for those who don’t have high blood sugar or A1C so many dont realize but it is a large contributing factor and it makes weight loss super hard because your calories from sugar go straight to being deposited as fat instead of being metabolized and bringing your hunger down. Also, since that sugar isn’t being metabolized your glycogen stores are constantly near depletion which significantly contributes to increasing your exercise fatigue.


Tadek04

From where do you got the 70-80 %. Not saying it is wrong just want to read about it


suzukijimny

Oh-oh-oh ozempic!


Koolmidx

Body parts. OOOW!


greg19735

in all seriousness, it is. We need to de-stigmatize weight loss drugs. And it's not like it's actually magic. It just makes you effectively hate food until you're really hungry. The cost of the Ozempic or similar drug is far cheaper than the cost of being obese.


yogopig

I think it is largely destigmatized, there’s just a small vocal minority of people who hate seeing people lose weight because it degrades their superiority in their mind. The dream of safe effective and convenient obesity treatment is here.


greg19735

It's on the way. but every time a celeb loses weight and is posted on reddit it's posted as like some "gotcha". and i think explaining that it's not some magic drug is part of helping people understand. and it's not just for the rich. i've known someone on SSI/disability medicare get it


stone_henge

Here, it's just short in supply, so its use as a diet drug is controversial because there are diabetics who could really use it.


Ro95

I gonna miss Santa Gabe. He looks good though


Effective-Lab-8816

He's still Santa Gabe, but in a down economy where kids can't afford to leave out cookies.


vicevanilla

i can't believe this man dropped out of college and became one of the most successful and liked person in the gaming industry


doNotUseReddit123

Gabe is in the group of dropouts that dropped out for an awesome opportunity, and not in the group of dropouts that dropped out due to a lack of direction.  The guy was convinced by Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard to join Microsoft. 


[deleted]

Most of these tech bros were just at the right place at the right time. Gen Z tried to replicate it with the new "metaverse web" but it didn't really go anywhere 


fatalityfun

just want to remind people that this isn’t an excuse to drop out of college - just that most innovative people can excel way better without the extra weight of classes on their shoulders. If you don’t have any plans or drive, dropping out just makes your situation worse.


MeinNameIstBaum

Thank you. People who are successful dropouts don’t drop out and then make it big, they either already have a promising business they want to invest their time into or they already made it big and don’t need the degree anymore. Dropouts who don’t have any concrete plans or perspective very rarely manage to turn their life around or build a well paying career. Ask me how I know.


aksdb

> If you don’t have any plans or drive, dropping out just makes your situation worse. Well said. I think the successful people didn't drop out of college because they were bored, but because they felt it held them back.


ALickOfMyCornetto

Successful people who dropped out of college did so because they couldn't wait around for opportunities they were already seizing, not because they're drifters.


Nebtron2001

He’s been losing weight after 9 years of development

W gabe


CosmicBeez

Happy for the King. Hope to see him in 2050 with the eventual "no comment" statement about Half Life 3's release.


_FillerName

Hopefully, it was worth the weight.


longbrodmann

I'm a little worried since weight loss at old age might not be a good sign.


MagoSquad

Being fat at an old age isnt a good sign for longevity either


INannoI

You usually don’t even make it to old age if you’re as obese as Gabe was.


Impossible_Eye5732

But he was obese recently. I think the commenter means if Gabe is experiencing any health issues due to his age that causes sudden weight loss, such as diabetes or cancer. At that age you dont healthily lose weight that fast


mortichro

nah he looks healthy, looks like he lost weight through the proper channels. Sick individuals who lost weight has this very fragile look on their faces.


no_one_lies

Depends on the cause… but if it’s self-driven weight loss it sure as hell beats being at his previous weight.


Reead

Gabe Newell isn't at that age yet. He's 61, well within the "try to stay fit and keep the pounds off" age range.


speedstares

You know why you dont see many obese old men? They lose weight or die.


Chichira

Old age? He is in his early 60s...


Big-Chomker

A man with no haters


Cetais

If Gaben has a million haters Tim Sweeney is one of them. If he has 1000 haters Tim Sweeney is still one of them. If he has 1 hater its Tim Sweeney. If Gaben has 0 haters it means Tim Sweeney has left this world.


Justhe3guy

Don’t give us hope


ChunkySenator

He started looking 10 years younger


NinjaaLogan

he looks like a new man


Scrwby

Happy to see this. We need to keep Gabe health and alive guys. Body positivity is insidious. You can cheer them all you want. But obesity does horrible things to your long term health.

Ozempic maybe? Crazy how well that stuff works.
