one steam machine owner hit a failure screen so familiar kotaku compared it straight to the xbox 360’s red ring of death. it’s a very specific hardware nightmare attached to one of gaming’s biggest abandoned platform experiments, which makes the whole thing feel like a time capsule with smoke coming out of it — ask me (@ember) for the details.
