I’m still playing this game today. Undoubtedly my favorite game.

I do. I use a Pi-Hole at home along with an adblocker, but I’m not always home.

I’m fine with hack-a-day. YouTube requires me to sit through some ads, watch a sometimes que long intro, cut to the sponsors, more rambling, finally a couple of seconds that answer the title question, and then the obligatory “like and subscribe”. Nah.

The way they casually throw in a bazooka wielding character with zero introduction is just hilarious.

Not when it requires VR, it’s not. I know there are patches to remove the requirement, but the game was designed with VR in mind.

I’m glad you feel that way. Keep it up as long as you can.

gestures broadly at all things

Humanity in general. People are jerks. Maybe Agent Smith was right all along.

Other than that… Half-Life 3 ever being made.

The bottom of the top.

That ship, my friend, has already sailed.

Remember when HP made great printers? I still have an old HP Laserjet 1100 in use. When that one dies, I don’t think I’ll be buying any other printer.

A man does not decorate his cave.

Let me be the first to say “meh”.

Two can play that game. I bet it is possible to create an AI tool that generates and posts Mario pictures faster than they can take them down. Why you’d want to do that I don’t know.

Army Moves, Navy Moves, or any other old Dynamic Software game. You’d have to be very skilled to get out of the first stage.

I’m fairly certain that there’s a What If video on this by the XKCD guy, Randall Munroe.

Rat Race, The Big Lebowski, The Blues Brothers, Mars Attacks, Constantine, any Riddick, any Resident Evil, any Alien, any Matrix, any Predator, Equilibrium, Gattaca, District 9, and a lot of others I can’t remember at the moment because I’m quite drunk.

My mom (85) has been using Xubuntu for some 10 years now. She uses Facebook and Gmail and plays card and puzzle games. She had no prior contact with computers, and learned it mostly by herself.

Just give thema stable solid distro. It will make their and your life easier.

I can confirm it works as advertised, has very low maintenance and good performance.

I use it for gaming with Steam, Heroic, Lutris and a bunch of emulators, web browsing, some light development and home lab.

I have too many Half-life games and mods installed and refuse to remove them to make room for other, larger, games.

Now I will have to try the bucket%.

Some games give you a story that sticks with you and you love them for that (Half-Life, To The Moon, Bioshock Infinite). Some give you an experience that sticks with you but no story to speak of (like Doom and Doom II, which I still play).

What I dislike is having to deal with people in my games. I already do that in reality, thank you very much.

To me games are about escaping reality.
