ahem... Dave th diver?

"Bizzare"? That's pretty much what I expected of Gabe. I don't imagine he has to work particularly hard. Most CEOs try to hide how much they don't do.

Based on 3rd hand accounts, he's been steadily losing weight for years and while it was hard to find recent photos at a cursory glance, there are a few where he is noticably skinnier (also the article does mention he looks fitter in a conference call)

Casual reminder that Gabe Newell owns 6 yachts worth an estimated US$1 billion and that he is not your friend.

Watch the video, it looks like he's lost a ton of weight

Watch the video, he looks like a completely different person

I am a scuba instructor and professional underwater photographer. I'm also obese. Scuba is not a sport that makes one fit - especially as you get better at it and improve buoyancy skills to the point you aren't even having to swim most of the time. When I dive, I'm essentially just *existing* underwater, not even supporting my own body weight.

So what?

I just dont understand miney obsessed people. Why the hell do you need multiple yachts? Why even work at this point when you could just .. not? You would still afford everything you ever want without ever checking your bank account. I just dont get it.

>Man that has poured shitloads of money into turning linux into a more mainstream desktop platform is rich Wow.

so no different then normal people go to the gym on their lunch break. scuba is just a different kind of workout

Clickbaity title. Daily routine stuff is kinda memeish thing to ask successful stuff, and he's trying to be honest about it. He gets to do the light touch management on a lot of fascinating stuff, so it's natural that he wants to do it daily, and he seems to be mixing it up with stuff he does for fun, so it seems like he does it throughout the week, and he seems to have a good attitude about it and looks at it realistically compared to regular work/"horrible job"s. Note he doesn't specify times or meals; it's just a rough sketch.

That's for every individual reading this to decide. It will either mean something or nothing to you. Personally, I don't think billionaires should exist. Even the ones that I think have done cool things. And I definitely don't think anyone needs 6 yachts in a world that is burning.

Except he lives in a yatch and has his own gym, probably people that cook for him too.

The thing isn't that they have constant work to do, but that they *must* be available for work at any time, for any reason.

Gabe the Diver.

I know right. I will also invent Steam 2.0. I will call it.. ELECTRICITY!

Having known a number of CEOs over the years, they arent the ones waking up for those 3am calls unless it's a business shattering literally apocalyptic event. They honestly shouldn't be the ones taking emergency calls either since most of the time they'll be in the way.

Indeed so what. I just need to come up with steam 2.0. And I will call it.. ELECTRICITY
