Ok, we moved the Steam Machine comments to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45903404,

... the Steam Frame comments to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45903325,

... and the Steam Controller comments to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45905703.

Assuming I triaged them all correctly.

Edit: and what the hell, moved the Half Life jokes to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45908464.
