Gabe looking good

Gotta be Ozempic.

Too many famous people who’ve been overweight for decades suddenly losing weight in the last couple of years.

Nothing wrong with it though, hopefully it will start helping regular people lose weight as well.

Or he was eating to compensate his frustration to promote software for Windows and since they made Proton, he is happy again.
Nothing wrong with it though

Hopefully. But it feels like we do this very often. We get a drug or something else that does this or that and is touted as being the best at this and then a few years later we announce that it was a horrible decision and has harsh consequences. Cigarettes, plastic, trans fats, so many dietary trends…

I’d love to try it but I’m skeptical just for this reason. Hoping not to hear in a decade that all these people developed the same type of cancer or some other horrible ailment.
- Man, remember Fen-Phen?
- I 'm with you, truely.
  
  But what you're describing is just how science works in a world where we're trying to make discoveries quickly due to our lifespans only being around 75 years compared to the billions or millions or thousands of years for everything else existing.
  
  As long as we continue making discoveries along the way, this is progress. It sucks that we keep getting things partially wrong sometimes, like with asbestos, but we'll eventually get it right as long as we keep following the process.
He lives in NZ and therefore isn’t eating American poison that is sold as food
- He isn't in Seattle anymore?
I just wish I could afford it, but my insurance won’t cover it.
People like Gabe are exactly the type that semaglutides were made for. Good for him either way.

He lost some weight. He looks good.

When he was living in New Zealand a few years ago it was first noticeable. Good for him. In Gaben we trust.
- More like in Ozempic we trust

at this rate HL3 will be full-dive V.R.

If I die in the game and don't die IRL, im going to refund it for ruining my immersion.
- The tech isn't there yet but if you fill out a form when you die in the game I'll come beat you to death with a crowbar.
- Man that's like 2 minutes of gameplay I'd get.

He's lost a bunch of weight since the last time I've seen him. He looks so much better!! Super proud of him ❤️

What the actual fuck? I thought it looked poorly shopped, but it's legit.

I choose to believe Gabe had stored all that energy for just such an occasion.

He was just cultivating mass
Yeah, this is the first I'm hearing of the company. At first glance, I just assumed the whole site was a scam, and these were AI generated.
- Can't blame you, it looks like Gabe's head was cropped and stuck on some random guys body, then airbrushed around his beard.
Alan Yates is there too?! He's the mastermind behind the Lighthouses used for VR. Gonna be some promising tech from that company.

Just Gabe working on a god tier game.

The faster they make new gaming peripherals, the faster a new Half-Life comes out.
- Nah Gabe working on a god tier game. He just want to be able to say the same thing we all do.. "you mean, you have to use your hands?"
  
  Where we're going, we don't need peripherals.

You start getting healthier and losing weight just by eating real food instead of American poison, living in NZ or any other country that cares for its citizens will do that for you

America might take the crown but I can assure you AU and NZ have plenty of trash to eat.
You think America doesn't have any fruits and vegetables? And NZ doesn't have any unhealthy food? Lol
- It's Lemmy. We've got to have at least one "America Bad" comment per thread, no matter how irrelevant.
- The ease of access and availability of unprocessed foods, or food products without high amounts of corn syrup, sugars and other additives, is much higher in most of the world outside of the US. I can never stay in the US for more than a couple of weeks without gaining weight. Then again, it doesn't help that US food is fantastically tasty, either ♥️
- There have been account after account of people leaving the States for one reason or another (Military relocation, job placement, etc), monitor their diet and actually find that while they are technically eating more, they are losing weight.
  
  America's got problems.
- Fruits and vegetables sprayed and watered with preservatives and pesticides at every step of its cycle that end up in our bodies without much long term study before approving it.
  
  NZ has McDonald’s and other similar trash but like most nations other than the us some restrictions and requirements are in-place and enforced to prevent corporations poisoning us for slightly improved profits

The actuators are quite surprising. They want to provide feedback to the brain, not just "listen" it's waves, but "tell" it some too...

Musk claimed the same in the past but stopped when he found out people were affraid of that tech
- Gabe will focus on steam deck users who trust him entirely with their own mother's lives.
- The problem with anything Elon Musk does is that it's Elon Musk doing it and I don't trust him one bit.
- They're working on providing sight with the implant and he says it's working in monkeys so they're clearly still working on sending info in

They'll never make it to Phase 3 trials

1, 2... and 4!
- 1, 2, 2 episode 1, 2 episode 2, and Alyx!

I assumed this was leftover April fool stuff. Does he really look that good all the sudden? I swear he was just photographed for another story within the last couple months that he looked the same in.

Damn damn, good for him if real.

Also, scroll up to see Alan, the dude behind Valve's Lighthouse tracking tech for VR. And now I just realised it's >20 years since I first browsed his awesome hobby website Alan's Lab.
