Other billionaires setting up cults and trying to bring a new age to techno fascism.

Gabe's colleagues: " sometimes he sings in his office and it's a little annoying and distracting."

Other billionaires response: buy media companies and government lobby, manipulate the narratives. Make a mockery of the legal system while hiding behind corporate entity.

Gabe: "yeah I asked a trusted colleague for honest feedback and feel a little bad about that.".

It's really not hard to not piss everyone in the world off or high effort.

Remember when valve made games?

Honestly went to a concert for "the hu" Mongolian metal band... amazing

Mongolian throat singing is amazing.

You know, where I live, they have these guys coming out with leaf blowers in late April, making a racket in my neighborhood, and they just move street by street like a roving gang of crazed leaf blowers, and getting rid of all the crap that was accumulated under the snow when it thaws.

Every year, if I'm home at that time, I bring my big speakers to the window, open it wide, and blast Mongolian throat singing for them.

It mixes with the sound of leaf blowers extremely well. Whenever one of them starts wondering what the hell is going on and removes their hearing protection, I instantly mute it, and as soon as they put them back on I start blasting again.

It's a spring ritual for me.

At least it wasn't doing unspeakable things to kids.

Sygyt is the style that sounds nasal-y but with a high pitched overtone.

Kargyraa is the really growly sounding one.

Honestly, based.

Huh throat goat

That's hilarious. It was a niche viral trend online, but this guy really ran with it lol

Once you learn how to do it , it's very addictive

Was it annoying because it was loud and out of place for an office, or did he sound like a cat being strangled? 🤔

Gabe-is Khan

lol

I dream about being the kind of rich that allows me the mental space to get hyper fixated on stuff like that.

Never heard it until I watched a video just now. Sounds like a jaw harp. I can see why people trying to concentrate would be a little peeved, though if someone were paying me good money to do something cool like make games, I’d probably happily put on some headphones and ignore it.

Hahahahaha We don't call him Gaben, Jesus of gaming for no reason... He's freaking multi-talented pal and also real down to earth

Valve's morning ritual.

Genghis Blues was a great documentary. Cool to see Paul Pena popping up again. Didn't expect GabeN to be obsessed with throat singing.
