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.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

He lives in NZ and therefore isn’t eating American poison that is sold as food

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 13 points 7 months ago

He isn't in Seattle anymore?

[-] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 34 points 7 months ago

Hasn’t been for a while. He was in NZ when the pandemic hit and has since made it his primary residence.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

Went to NZ right before/as pandemic really hit and decided to stay

I just wish I could afford it, but my insurance won’t cover it.

[-] Conyak@lemmy.tf 8 points 7 months ago

People like Gabe are exactly the type that semaglutides were made for. Good for him either way.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 101 points 7 months ago

He lost some weight. He looks good.

[-] electricprism@lemmy.ml 45 points 7 months ago

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

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

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 51 points 7 months ago

If I die in the game and don't die IRL, im going to refund it for ruining my immersion.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 11 points 7 months ago

Ehhh, kinda. It dose exist but I think the guy only made one for fun.

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.

[-] quicksand@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

He was just cultivating mass

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

[-] elshandra@lemmy.world 54 points 7 months ago

Just Gabe working on a god tier game.

[-] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 60 points 7 months ago

The faster they make new gaming peripherals, the faster a new Half-Life comes out.

[-] elshandra@lemmy.world 31 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[-] electricprism@lemmy.ml 20 points 7 months ago

HL3 confirmed just close your eyes and play via neural interface

[-] elshandra@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

HL3 will be a secret minigame you unlock after you beat the HL1 & 2 minigames on hard. Of course HL3 will have been worth the wait.

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

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 10 points 7 months ago

Musk claimed the same in the past but stopped when he found out people were affraid of that tech

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

Gabe will focus on steam deck users who trust him entirely with their own mother's lives.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 7 months ago

Their brain interface will be mostly solidly designed with some rough edges, and 0.0003% of users will run into a bug that makes them constantly feel the vague smell of popcorn.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

But it'll be mod-able.

Can't wait for Steam Workshop hacks for my brain!

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.

[-] normacenva@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 7 months ago

They'll never make it to Phase 3 trials

1, 2, 2 episode 1, 2 episode 2, and Alyx!

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

[-] Nachorella 61 points 7 months ago

America might take the crown but I can assure you AU and NZ have plenty of trash to eat.

[-] SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 49 points 7 months ago

You think America doesn't have any fruits and vegetables? And NZ doesn't have any unhealthy food? Lol

[-] BrotherL0v3@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

It's Lemmy. We've got to have at least one "America Bad" comment per thread, no matter how irrelevant.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 months ago

The best is when the core of what they're saying isn't completely wrong but they take it absurdly far in a weird direction

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 ♥️

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 19 points 7 months ago

For the wealthy? Absolutely not true

[-] nave@lemmy.ca 18 points 7 months ago

A lot of people in this thread acting like Gabes a regular old guy and not a literal billionaire.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Well it's ML so they just default to "the only food in America is literal dog shit!"

Like, America has food deserts, and has a lot of processed options that are bad for you. But for most, normal natural food is available. For the wealthy, premium food is never ever an issue

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.

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.
