Steam Machine has arrived and I am so excited to now have a convenient(-er) way to share some of my favorite PC games with my spouse, who enjoys watching games but never liked looking over my shoulder at a computer monitor.

Valve has made great strides in making PC games accessible, but we're still a long way from true game console ease-of-use.

For instance: fired up one of my all-time favorite Valve games this morning only to discover it was so dark as to be effectively unplayable.

Adjust brightness levels? No game setting to do that for... some reason.

Developer console? Doesn't want to launch for... some reason.

Solution? Exit the game, add '-console' to the Launch Options, restart the game, access the developer console, then work through the CLI options to adjust the monitor gamma until things are visible enough to be playable!

Valve has given us a way to play PC games from the 90s and also the experience of playing PC games in the 90's. 😂

I keep seeing criticism of GTA VI based solely on arguments against Lucia and/or her relationship with Jason, and that based solely on what little we've seen so far.

I think, especially if those comments end up being correct, SAVE IT UNTIL THE GAME ACTUALLY DROPS.

I'm a huge fan of criticism of media, just so we're clear.  If something's bad, according to me if no one else, I will call it bad.  I think that is how media should be engaged with; not like this, and it's really interesting how games are engaged with in this way even if other forms of media are not.  From what I've seen, people don't just come out of the woodwork to rip apart some movie, for example, just based on the trailer and before it's even in the theater.

I'm planning on watching people play GTA VI on Twitch/YouTube/wherever as soon as I'm able to, and, again, if I think it looks bad then I'll call it that.  I'll give it a chance to either disappoint me, or not, properly.

I hate that people are already trying to milk it when it's not even out yet.
