@programming.devWhen I first saw the trailer I thought it was official. My heart broke when I learned the truth. Been playing Half Life since the original came out in 1998. That was an amazing Thanksgiving as a 14yr old.
I remember being at Costco with my mom and back then they had tables set up in the entrance with tons of software and game boxes and I looked at the back of the box and thought "cool! I want it!". Asked my mom if I could get it as an early Christmas gift who never said yes to that kind of thing and she said yes. I couldn't believe it.
I remember playing it and being so confused in the intro when you're on the train/tram because I couldn't figure out how to get off. I was so used to FPS games like Quake and Doom where you just clicked "new game" and were just dropped into the action or there were basic cinematics setting up the story. The build up to the action was so unique at the time it blew me away.
Sorry for the novel. Just so many fond memories of this game and I was really stoked when I saw this stupidly well done trailer haha.
I think I might have either misread or replied to the wrong comment because I honestly can't remember the context.
I'm in the same boat. I have a birthday dinner at a jazz club for a friend so I'm going off the grid and can hopefully avoid the spoilers as well!
I really hope this is the series we think it can be. Gonna be a super fun match up with the two vastly different players. I'm a Lakers fan so naturally I hate Boston but man I really love the players on that team. And the Luka Kyrie combo has really proved me wrong. I thought that combo would implode but here they are.
Unfortunately I gotta watch it tomorrow due to a birthday dinner.
This is all so strange. I really appreciate the breakdown.
It sounds like they got the tyrannical administration they lust over in the politics related comments I've seen there so far, though! So, good for them!
I regret looking haha but it was enlightening. Almost literally every single comment was someone angry about someone they've never met. It was like they were manifesting their ideal enemy in their comments to be angry at them.
Whew. Definitely avoiding that.
I'm not new to Lemmy but only just recently started being really active. Can you explain to this OOTL user (and perhaps others like me) that don't know what went down with hexbear?
Perfectly reasonable to ban someone from completely unrelated communities like mechanical keyboard and arch Linux? Come on. It's not like they're throwing out toxic terms or criticizing on a personal level. They're questioning the way things are being modded. Those aren't even attacks.
I totally missed the clip you were shocked by at first (I guess the Twitter embed didn't load the first time). Just went back to watch it and I don't understand how someone can be ok with saying that. Yeah I've heard sexist things and weird sexual harassment comments in games like valorant, overwatch, etc but that was absolutely disgusting. His casual tone says so much about him too. He's not even laughing where you could at least say "that's a stupid shitty joke". He has such a real tone to it that it's truly disturbing.
I agree with all of your points. It's unfortunate but I think we've gotten to the point that people need to be properly held accountable. Don't just ban them from the game, ban them from the entire platform and report them to local authorities for that. Hell, when someone is this nasty someone on the community team should send it to their employer. It's clearly a threat even if he has no way to see it through. This isn't just calling someone trash, or telling a woman to "go back to the kitchen". These people need to learn what real consequences are. It's truly disgusting behavior.
