VALVE IS REFUSING TO PLAY THE CONSOLE GAME
Valve has revealed the new Steam Machine.
$1,049 for 512GB.
$1,349 for 2TB.
Steam has become so dominant that Valve no longer has to buy customers.
Sony and Microsoft subsidize hardware because they need players inside their ecosystems.
Valve already owns the ecosystem.
The machine isn't the business.
Steam is.
- Traditional consoles are often sold at little profit or even a loss because software sales make up the difference.
- Valve takes a cut from millions of game sales on Steam, giving it a revenue stream that exists whether you buy a Steam Machine or not.
- The company reportedly generated billions from Steam long before becoming a serious hardware player.
- The Steam Deck proved Valve can sell premium hardware without needing console-style economics.
- A $1,049 price instantly filters for enthusiasts rather than mass-market buyers, reducing pressure to subsidize every unit.
- Every Steam Machine sold strengthens SteamOS, which reduces Valve's dependence on Windows over time.
Most companies sell hardware to build an ecosystem.
Valve built the ecosystem first.

With this scene, we can almost conclude that digging up and getting rid of the bones is the key to going home. To me, MIY is simply threatening Tabitha to create panic so she'll either stop Jade or sabotage the plan herself. The moment he realized they were getting close, he stepped in.
Also, with only one season left, I find it hard to believe the writers would introduce an entirely new mystery. If something is awakened by removing the bones, it will probably be something directly connected to the existing story perhaps even the one thing capable of challenging or controlling MIY.
The fact that MIY is trying this hard to stop them makes me think they're finally on the right track.

A good end of the day, the client complimented my translation, and that’s shocking cuz clients are made of steel, but not going lie, it really made me sooo happy
There is a point in proofreading where you no longer can see any mistakes even if they are many, you brain just becomes so burnout and can’t function, I am at this point now
