Here on break
It was nice crawling different dungeons and then… “Fresh meat” That was the first time in the game where I started to frantically try to just… get the fuck out.
Thanks for the memories. I remember taking turns playing this with my sister and freaking out when we first saw the butcher. Like just being able to use the mouse and keyboard was a challenge it was so scary.
keep…going
Well it was
Certainly people must ask for “pints” though and if the server brings them a drink, I would take that as confirmation that they are tacitly serving pints.
can also confirm that Guinness makes an awful Android launcher, like trust me don’t even try it
Even comparing it to most modern shooters, I almost never feel as hunted as I did by the human enemies in HL. A big part of that is definitely the level design, but also the enemies in HL are very mobile compared to most games where the action is all happening roughly 180 degrees in front of you.
Also the scripted sequences that were all in-engine were amazing at the time.
We were used to cool things happening in a pre-rendered cut scene before, but with HL1 everything happens from the player’s perspective in real-time while you’re in control of them. Even the opening where you put the crystal in the beam and actually cause shit to go haywire felt like an incredible moment of player agency in the world. Like oh man what did I doooo
EDIT: oh @[email protected] kind of beat me to this point haha
Yeah more of a case for public shaming or filing a complaint or even just an honest Glass Door review
Yeah bad example. I’m on break at work
Tell me how you really feel why don’t you
How is that different from any other accident of birth that can’t be changed? People really do discriminate based on when you were born:
Not hard to extrapolate a case from this. Imagine a landlord refusing to rent because you’re a “scorpio” or an employer turning you down because they’re looking for a “dog” person.
Yeah yeah not protected, but same could be said for requiring blond hair or blue eyes. Still discrimination
I am not a lawyer
What about star sign? That’s got to be illegal, and it’s p close to this
Oh okay, that was a bad example then.
Yeah maybe unpopular in the greater culture, but certain not unpopular around here.
Found the centrist!
I’ll one up, Andor is the best thing to come out of Star Wars, even including the books, comics, games, and original trilogy.
I’m not a sports person but it seems like chess and video game match making have had this figured out for a while: just play ranked. Your rank can change at official events, like when you’re competing, and everyone gets matched with people around their skill level/ability, with the occasional hotshot rising through the ranks blowing everyone away.
While we’re focused on fairness let’s also match by height, and weight, wingspan, general body type, age, years of experience, amount spent on coaching, support of parents, emotional stability, and wrist circumference.
Wouldn’t want to be unfair.
Do you like cool lore? Detailed item descriptions? What about esoteric oddities that you interact with through text? How do you feel about choose-your-own-adventure books? Torment: Tides of Numenera might be the game for you.
Also highly, highly recommend Disco Elysium, but someone already suggested that. I think you would love it.
