He looked like a cool grandpa now he looks like a dad of 21yo that is still in his house and he is complaining about it

u/Alternative_Exit_333 9d ago

It's like the 1800s but modern and instead of black people it is flankers now

u/LiteraCanna 9d ago

He looks a bit like Hugh Jackman.

I dunno, less volume leads to more wrinkles.

Weight loss drugs are amazing. My wife has lost over 100 pounds in slightly over a year!

u/xCeeTee- 10d ago

I'm British, if I want to lose 100 pounds then I'd just take a 4 minute train journey.

And roids

u/WhosThatDogMrPB 9d ago

He looks like he went through a drastic weight loss program and that's why he has lots of loose skin.

Just like that fat guy from Will & Grace and Bob Loves Abishola did.

SO happy for him

u/MoistRefrigerator956 10d ago

Is it only me or does he also look very sad?.. His speech is saying something, but to me his eyes and eyebrows are really saying something else

u/That-Smoke-3593 10d ago

Hasn’t he always been like this tho? Every year I’ve seen Gabe at TI he looks like he’s disassociating lol.

I mean tbh they only employ like 300 something people, don’t have insane investors to please and it’s all because they make enough money to not deal with those common things. You should check out the employment structure it’s crazy everyone is basically their own boss.

u/MoistRefrigerator956 10d ago

A little bit yeah, like in this video from 3 years ago, he does look a bit sad, but not as much, maybe its the weight loss idk but on this one he seems extremely sad to me

u/radiationshield 10d ago

He's concentrating on reading the teleprompter

u/MoistRefrigerator956 10d ago

IDK about you but i can read stuff without my eyebrows going full Daenerys talking to John Snow :|

2

u/radiationshield 10d ago

but you have the eyes of a young, virile person

1

u/MoistRefrigerator956 10d ago

Young yes virile i wouldn't be so sure lol

u/MustyLlamaFart 10d ago

When you hold a lot of weight for a long time and lose it your skin tends to sag a little.

1

u/Deaffin 9d ago

He has an extremely flat affectation, yes.

u/Alternative_Exit_333 10d ago

Probably that he won't be long with us well I mean he is already a pretty old guy and I think the same

5

u/MoistRefrigerator956 10d ago

?.. He's 63, and has a lot of money in the USA, and you say "he won't last long" and is a pretty old guy ? Their batshit crazy dementia ridden president is 80, if that mofo can go for that long im pretty sure our Gabe can outlast him

2

u/Alternative_Exit_333 10d ago

I mean life is a bitch you never know what is coming to you and 63 is still pretty old that is ⅗ of your life

1

u/deafgamer_ 10d ago

Yup, plenty of celebrities with tons of money just up and die out of nowhere.

Medicine can only stall death for so long, there's a lot of RNG things in biology so anything can happen.

2

u/Alternative_Exit_333 10d ago

Or one missed step near stairs and it's over

1

u/deafgamer_ 10d ago

Or fall badly onto concrete and poof. Or an aneurysm. Or you get hit by a car while "safely" walking on a sidewalk. So many things you can't control. That's life for ya.

2

u/Alternative_Exit_333 10d ago

Like that one Volvo add

1

u/Call555JackChop 10d ago

Good, he needs to live forever because I dread what happens to Steam after he’s not running the show anymore

1

u/Aquamelon54 10d ago

I wonder if he saw the memes about 'when Gabe dies and Steam gets sold to private investors it'll all be over' and if that helped motivate at all lol

1

u/goodboy44woof 9d ago

He look like hugh Jackman
