The Hardest Secrets I’ve Ever Kept – WAN Show Nov 14, 2025

On this episode Linus and Luke kick things off with Valve’s latest hardware: the revamped Steam Controller, the Steam Frame smart display, foveated streaming tests and hand-tracking goodness, plus a trip down Steam Machine memory lane (and the infamous Duke recall). They debate rechargeable NiMH vs disposables, compare Steam Deck pricing to rival handhelds, and unpack USB-CEC adapters, FEX mysteries, PS6 rumors and why the Steam Controller naming still feels like a puzzle.

Mid-show they share the wild tale of meeting Linux Torvalds (spoiler: his email game is 🔥), riff on Windows “agentic OS” evolution, Ubisoft’s postponed earnings shout-out and the cat office dream. Later segments zip through AI country hits, a Japan-only PS5, Sony’s 240 Hz monitor, Chinese buses being hacked off, community-revived Nest devices, RAM price rollercoasters and AI robots taking prat-falls. All that, plus braces talk, sibling rivalry, merch memes and a metric ton of sponsor plugs.
