Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Counter-Strike Co-Creator Says Gabe Newell Got So Obsessed With Mongolian Throat Singing at Valve HQ That Staff Started Closing Their Office Doors to Escape the NoiseEnglish
1·17 hours agoAnd what about reconning the ending to episode 2? I already explained that I didn’t fine the gameplay of HL2 to be very good, so if I played it through for the story, why would I be happy about that? I stopped expecting to get what I want out of a Half Life game when Marc Laidlaw explained the circumstance of why he left.

11·17 hours agoI saw people drawing penis in glass. I read a plot summary and wasn’t impressed enough to watch a playthough. Also, I already know I’ll be in the minority because I think HL2 is gimmicky gameplay because if you remove the gravity gun and chores associated with it, the combat is weaker the HL1. Try Singularity if you want to see what combat that actually integrates a Gravity Guy into the combat.

3·18 hours agoI’d ramp it up, but focus on quality, experimental, and artist games that don’t have to make profit immediately. They were doing that with Portal, but Gabe got more interested in owning yachts.

1·18 hours agoI wouldn’t be surprised is someone recreated in the Source 1/2 engine, but is there much gameplay if you remove the VR stuff?
Replaying the original Half Life 1 and 2 games, I realized there’s that HL2 onward got crippled by the devs making it too much about the Gravity gun. The fan community have made much more interesting combat engagements without the Gravity gun and adding a more varied weapon set.

8·19 hours agoOmni and Pan were released by their competitors, but consumers don’t really understand the difference, so everything gets call Bi the same way all adhesive bandages get called Bandaids.
Climate change, fascism, being mislead and lied to by school system that thought I was a lost cause.

1·1 day agoI don’t want to do those things either. My taxes are more likely to pay for bad cops and subsidize new data centers and insurance companies will always look for a reason not to pay out. “Upkeep” is just fixing things, which existed before capitalism.
I don’t like making my civil disobedience posts too easy for government web crawlers to understand. There are ways to discretely hurt electronics without hurting people or risk a fire.
Diy emp.

4·2 days agoHaving a house isn’t suppose to be about owning an asset. It’s suppose to be having a place to live and not worring about owing someone money for it. Going from being a home owner with a mortgage to being a renter don’t really change your place in capitalism.
For budgetary reason, they’re never that outlandish or creative sets, but I really liked the irony of the Captain Proton being a reoccurring thing
There’s a difference between making a movie about an actor or other famous person and inserting an actor’s likeness into a movie that didn’t need it. If you become part of the cultural zeitgeist, people will talk about you. For an historic example of using someone’s likeness to sell a movie, you can look at Plan 9 from Outer Space and using footage of Bela Lugosi after he had died. That’s still considered bad taste. A new example is using including Tupac Shakur in the new Yakuza game AI or not, people aren’t exactly excited, but we’ll see what they do with it. Probably shouldn’t have used him in the trailer at least. There’s some gray areas with legacy characters in an on going franchise and whether or not you can find a look alike. I didn’t have a big issue with Tarkin being in Rouge One despite Peter Cushing being dead.
Oh, you posted that unironically.
