Ty I figured someone would point me in the right direction. On an aside, absolutely no one irl I’ve talked to has ever heard of Lemmy or the fediverse which is disappointing. I wonder how we get fediverse stuff to grow

Agreed

*if we can fund it

I’m probably going to start donating $5 a month to the Lemmy devs (or whomever is the best to donate to) Vote with your wallet people!

Haken (pronounced “hay-kin”) is fucking awesome. They have a pretty wide range of sound too so most people who like metal I think would enjoy their songs.

I was really impressed with David Hogg when he was on the Daily Show. Decent interview with Jordan Klepper a few weeks ago https://youtu.be/JymyPHfhGic?si=XemMDUCjUzW_gqPe

Was thinking of adding those but wanted to keep it HL specific. But yes the Portals are must plays. Pretty much perfect games. I remember watching the ending of 2 over and over because it was so dope.

If you’re like me and wondering where the little burlap doll guy is, you’re thinking of LittleBigPlanet. The platformer on the PS3. But this also looks cool.

Interesting, I haven’t actually played HL1 but I enjoyed BM a lot, and figured it’d be the better reccomendation for someone just getting into HL.

What parts of the atmosphere do you think BM missed? When I watched videos of HL1 gameplay it seemed that BM did a great job having a graphically updated but similar vibe

Imo the best enjoyment to time ratio is:

1. Black Mesa (the Xen level at the end was redone and extended compared to in HL1 and it’s cool but if it starts to drag just move on)

2. HL2 (main game)

3. HL2: EP1 start it but maybe skip and watch a playthrough if you get bored

4. HL2: EP2

5. HL Alyx, if you can play it on a decent headset. DO NOT MOD IT TO PLAY IT WITH MOUSE/KB it will be extremely boring since it’s designed for VR

Have fun, there’s simply nothing else like Half-Life games

Evil companies pressuring an evil man… equals a positive result?? I’m surprised at the way that math math’ed out

This… sounds wrong. You’ll need a source for that there comment sir

Oh. Looks like I got whoooshed

Not an expert but I believe it’s because they were born 19 years ago

Please bring us your findings!

“Ah, the ol’ Lemmy Hitleroo”

This person sciences good

Just to throw it out there, 86 is also used in the film industry (at least in LA) meaning to cancel or get rid of something. It’s very widely used across the industry. I don’t know of any other slang that is shared between restaurants and film though.

This has the most legendary cameo at the end for the punchline.

Never Stop Never Stopping is super underrated. Can’t believe it’s already 8 years old.

And leasing is a thing
