HL3 will retcon a ton of stuff because of HL:A’s ending
That’s what I’m expecting, why else would they suddenly decide to change the EP2 ending after 13 years.
I agree, I’d rather them conclude the Story HL2 has set up ASAP and see something completely new.
they released a side game that only a small percentage of the players could play—which is based on the leaked story of E3
I’m assuming you’re referring to Epistle 3 by Laidlaw? In what way is HL:A based on that? I thought HL:A takes place before HL2 (minus the ending scene).
Personally I’ve come to terms with the fact that we’ll probably never get a proper continuation of EP2 years ago. Like I said, I don’t expect much from Valve at this point.
If the game comes out and it doesn’t have bad writing and features interesting and innovative gameplay I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
If the game comes out and it not only has interesting gameplay but also continues to follow the Story that EP2 set up I’ll be very pleasantly surprised.
If the game comes out and it’s overall OK but they retcon a bunch of stuff and make it so Aperture and the Borealis are no longer relevant, or worse, abandon the storyline for something completely different, then it’s time to forget and play some more indie games! :)
Right now I’m mostly interested in what their current Half-Life Project even looks like.
Lol, FO4 kind of replaced Skyrim in that regard since it’s literally just the Skyrim build of Gamebryo with a facelift and some improvements.
They wanted Starfield to be the next big sandbox game engine, but nobody wants Oblivion in Space.
The only big-Name Game I have any amount of faith in is HL3, although I don’t expect much.
Same. I tried getting into TES4 but couldn’t make it past half the game
because I found it too boring and watered down compared to Morrowind.
In FO4 I made it past the beginning area before I got bored and quit.
I already know that TES6 & FO5 will be yet another Loot Hoarder Sim with a “You are the chosen one” Story and MMO-Tier Quests.
They’ve been making bad Morrowind clones for 2 decades now with no end in sight, and that’s how they’ll probably die lol.

I’m intrigued, are there any daemons for this out there that you can recommend? Would be neat.
Maybe they left it running for a while. The current Steam Client is basically an Electron App.
I miss the old Steam Client that was made entirely in Valve’s own GUI Framework which was written in C++.
Hey, I’m posting this via lem.el! I’ve been using it for a few months now.
Could still use some work, but far better than using a Web Browser.
Thanks for posting, now I want to play a new Point & Click featuring art like this.
I’d rather see indie devs trying to move towards this than that ugly low poly shit, or that generic hyper-realistic look.
Literally one of the first things OpenBSD does when you first boot it is automatically install firmware blobs via: https://man.openbsd.org/fw_update
I befriended this guy in an online game. Eventually we became friends on
Steam and it turned out we both had a lot in common and we started playing a few other games together as well.
One day he told me that he got a girlfriend, who he later then married. After some time they got divorced and he hasn’t messaged me since.
I really miss staying up until 6 in the morning, playing long AoE2 and Stronghold Crusader matches with him.
The Silicon is what gives Life; After all it carries out all those thousands of floating point Instructions
that are required for the Matrix Brain to work!
Excellently put. It’s really just Capitalists doing Capitalist things, it’s just sometimes they happen to be located in China.
Or, we discard all those hyper abstract APIs and go bare metal. Make the Manufacturers release reference manuals that detail the Hardware and full ISA. I want to see official Manuals that tell you what you need to do to initialize the thing and get it to execute some machine code. Once that happens anyone can write an Assembler, Compiler and Debugger for specific GPUs.
I rather deal with that than any Micro$oft® Garbage®.
It’s crazy how many people are just OK with running completely proprietary code that monitors everything that happens on the machine and phones home all the time, all with the promise to “catch cheaters”.
Fortunately every game I’ve seen so far with such malware is just a generic competitive multiplayer dopamine farm that targets the Streamer crowd.
“But all my friends are playing it!” - Is it really worth it to run omnipresent malware on your machine just to play the currently trending game for a few weeks until you move on to the next?
Even just playing Solitaire all day until you’re fatigued is better than this drama shit.
All this e-celeb stuff is way over my head. My mind is still tuned to the pre-Smartphone Internet lol.
Eclipse 15 years ago was OK. Decent Debugger, useful Plugins (like WindowBuilder). It had issues, but instead of focusing on those they over time just kept piling crap on top of it.
It boggles my mind how people still recommend Brave as a good browser for privacy.
The entire point of Brave from the beginning was their own Crypto currency that they wanted to shill.
In their early days they offered a bunch of Tech YouTubers some crypto (via affiliate links) in return for them shilling brave.
Brave is basically just yet another Chromium reskin with custom branding, extra tracking and crypto bullshit bolted to it.
No, the builtin AdBlocker does not make it “worth it”. Stop recommending this pile of crap.
Every thread here about veganism ends up like this.
Ironically, browsing lemmygrad for a few years has given me a negative bias towards vegans and veganism in general.
This whole thing feels like a celebrity ad.
