I am holding out for a lament configuration.
Fun fact about that cube
If you connect the centers of all faces with edges, you get a tetrahedron
And if you solve it you will be shown such sights, and your suffering will be legendary.
I still would not be able to resist the compulsion to solve it.
I bet it’s really satisfying to solve right up until it isn’t.
“It is not hands that summon us, it is desire.”
If you have no wish to summon the cenobites, it might be no more dangerous than a Rubik’s cube, but there’s probably some horrible catch where even if you’re 99.99999% sure you want nothing to do with ‘em they can probably still pull out some hellish unfathomably small print legalese on you.
You’re reminding me I need to rewatch Hellraiser. Such a great movie.
Isn't it that desire what drives one to solve it though? I think you can only solve it if you have that desire
An octahedron
Reminds me of The Moment from Dr. Who. Suppose it probably took a bit of inspiration from Hellraiser.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who pictured this cube.
This one seems like it could be a vinyl sticker.
Welp, that was fast.
... hopefully, it will not stab anyone.
This time.
Its ok. The corners are sanded down /s
Just make sure it's never dark.
i hope it comes with a tiny voice line generator so it can silently judge me while i play bad games.
It should have LEDs, so it can blush when playing pervy games.
I mean it does have a LED strip at the bottom, I am sure you might be able to mod it and use that header.

Times like this i need to remember to not needlessly buy stuff
Aperture Science Entertainment Cube
^*may ^include ^trace ^amounts ^of ^asbestos
According to the lore, it may even contain the remains of aperature employees.
Shut up and take my money!
I don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it...
But.......
It will be the clearest indicator possible that Valve doesn't need more money, if they don't sell this as a special edition.
I want my cube to be the puzzle box from the original hellraiser movie.

smash it or get it out of my house
To the incinerator room?
That image looks very AI generated.
But that doesn't mean I don't want the fucking thing.
How so, i dont see any of the tell tale signs, the geometry is consistent, the shapes on the companion cube are accurate, everything is either curved or a straight edge, shadows make sense, and it doesnt have that glossy polished ai art style a lot of public models have. Plus is has the button and removable front plate we saw with the stock steam machine 2 in the right places, am i missing something
It looks like they merged the original picture with a companion cube image.
Some suspicious things are the openings for the USB ports which are way too narrow to plug anything into, the extremely fast timeframe in which this image was produced, the angle of the box which matches 100% with the original picture, and there only being 1 low quality picture of it. Almost all of this points towards an AI image merge, which also explains why the openings, edges, button and shadows would be close to perfect.
Keep in mind that I'm not saying they will not produce this. But let's also not let our love for this thing cloud objective reasoning.
It looks like concept art, but I dunno about AI
