In poetic metre, a trochee (/ˈtroʊkiː/) is a metrical foot consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one, in qualitative meter, as found in English, and in modern linguistics; or in quantitative meter, as found in Latin and Ancient Greek, a heavy syllable followed by a light one (also described as a long syllable followed by a short one).

I know some of those words. Neat :)

to be fair I can't imagine Gabe being that fond of piracy ... checks ah never mind mind

One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

- Gabe Newell , as quoted by gamesradar

BTW the quote is under this amazing image , which I very much hope was not placed there recently :

Gabe Newell engaging his inner heavy weapons guy , by standing on some dock looking thing , bolding a machine gun

Reminder to the circlejerkers out there: Valve narrowly voted to say "black lives matter" along with the rest of the tech industry (late, naturally) and it was vetoed by the CEO himself. That's right, the bare minimum of virtue signaling was too much for Steam and they chose racism instead.
