  • 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 more annoyed at the people who leave Twitter only to go to the next Bigtech Platform.The Fediverse is right here with no Ads, no Influencers, no AI Shit, no bullshit algorithm that feeds you some narrative or rage/engagement-bait, impossible to monetize and anyone can use it today!

  • This is like something I'd expect to see on 4chan. Posts like this remind me of how much of a shithole reddit really is.

  • They pulled the plug on Ensemble Studios and then like 10 years later they noticed that a lot of people are still playing and modding their old Age of Empires games, so they went ahead to produce shitty remakes that look like mobile games and after that they proceeded to continue the series with live-service trash.

    Fuck those fuckers @Redmond. Now I feel dirty everytime I look at my old AoE Game Discs.

  • weather monitor

    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.

  • They might be able to squeeze through a crack in the wall this time, but one day the BigTech Reaper will catch them!Not even the iCult, armed to their teeth with unrepairable landfill from their deity, will be able to help them!

    I suspect that in the not too distant future, the PRC will eventually outcompete them in terms of Quality, Quantity & Price.China will make actually innovative and useful hardware using domestic ingredients that will make Apple landfill obsolete.

    Washington may hand out sanctions and the iCult may cry and tell people to vote with their wallet, but that won't stop the Reaper.

  • SteamOS is just a by Valve customized Arch Linux though. You can always just install Arch and customize it yourself if you want.

  • Sure, I was more thinking in terms of "what's good for you".All Linux costs is time and mental energy to learn. I can only encourage people to mess with it on real hardware. You can't harm your Hardware (just don't kick it).

  • Fr. Getting rid of Windows is the equivalent of cutting ties with an abusive person and moving out of an apartment full of Asbestos and black mold at the same time.

  • Can't wait for the horror stories that'll come from this.

  • I would love to see how they did the entire cooling system. My guess is they're probably pumping the sea water through a couple of radiators inside each cabin and have fans blowing across them to keep the air cool inside.
