Plus, you still get the Proof of Purchase in TF2!

It did. Still does.

They each stand completely on their own. Start with 1 if you want the whole lore and like 90s PC games. Start with 2 if you want a slightly more modern experience.
- Comment on How do I download anything from Nexus Mods? 1 day ago:
Informing your users of potential security issues is the opposite of shady.
But I just tested creating an account and it worked fine for me.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 RTX | Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Tribute Video 2 days ago:
I don’t really either. Once it gets fast enough it’ll be common, but we can do really good approximations right now.
The thing that really hurts HL2 in terms of looking less dated is the old low-poly BSP geometry. Modern games and engines use landscapes and models because they can do it fast enough now. But I don’t think Source can handle that level of detail.

Also it’ll be running windows, so it’ll be rife with vulnerabilities and need constant security fixes.

Fun fact, Gabe left Microsoft to found Valve. Pretty sure a few other early Valve employees were also from Microsoft.
- Comment on World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive 5 days ago:
Makes sense. It’s not conclusive, but this user did make a post with a line like “here’s a breakdown you can post to reddit” until I pointed it out.
Not that it matters in this case, because they’ve already deleted their account.
- Comment on World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive 5 days ago:
Is it reportable when someone makes low-quality AI-generated posts, even if they’re not technically breaking any rules?
- Comment on Skyrim Is 13 Years Old, But Elder Scrolls 6 Is Nowhere in Sight While Bethesda’s First Four Games Took Only 12 Years 5 days ago:
Well except for that part where the native mod tools suck ass and every creation club update breaks a bunch of mods

- Comment on World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive 6 days ago:
What is your obsession with WoW? First you make multiple posts about the costs vs. investing that money, now this? Didn’t you also complain about the art style changing, even though multiple people said it’s always been like that?
You really just need to understand that different people have different feelings.
- Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? 6 days ago:
That’s literally what they said.
- Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? 6 days ago:
If they’re that young, they definitely don’t need their own Switch.
- Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? 6 days ago:
If we’re talking about actual need, the answer is zero. The Nintendo Switch does not feature on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
But how many OP should buy depends on how much they’re willing to spend. One is enough for family games and taking turns. If everyone wants their own to play head-to-head multiplayer, yeah you’ll have to shell out for multiple consoles.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
A World of Warcraft subscription is not a human right. Everyone makes a cost-benefit decision about whether they can afford it.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
That’s literally what they did. They deleted and reposted because last time they forgot to edit out the “here’s a breakdown you can post to reddit” comment from ChatGPT. You can see me quote it in my comment history right now, but the post is gone.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s because they used ChatGPT, with predictable results.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Your ChatGPT analysis is still garbage.
Regardless, if people feel that spending that money on a game is valuable to them, why is that so unbelievable to you? Do you expect everyone to sit quietly in the dark when they’re not working? Let people enjoy things.

Here’s a simple breakdown you can post on Reddit:
This was ChatGPT generated, wasn’t it.
- Comment on Pocketpair Confirms Which Patents Nintendo And The Pokemon Company Are Suing It Over 1 week ago:
That’s more trademark law, not patent or copyright. At least in the US, I don’t know if Japan is different.
- Comment on What are You Working on Wednesday 1 week ago:
Trying not to cry. That’s all I’m working on today.
- Comment on Tencent collaborated with Snoop Dogg for Fortnite, officially adding the 'C-Walk' as a dance, a notorious gang sign for the Crips. 1 week ago:
Can confirm, I remember my middle school classmates doing the crip walk and the hand signs back in the early 2000s.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
This is not OP’s first post in this genre, either.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s not about what they can afford. They could afford to change it, but they prefer to keep the same style they’ve been using.
Whether it looks stupid is your subjective opinion.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I’ve never played World of Warcraft and even I know it was a cartoony art style from day one. Go look up some old screenshots for comparison.
- Comment on Of course someone has Doom running on Nintendo Alarmo now 1 week ago:
Neat! Good to see it’s actually running Doom, and not a “we replaced everything in the case” thing.
- Comment on iPod fans evade Apple’s DRM to preserve 54 lost clickwheel-era games 2 weeks ago:
I remember playing it under Rockbox on some media player. I don’t even remember what it was, now, but it was a solid little device.
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 2 weeks ago:
Agreed except the part about lobbying. The EFF and ACLU are lobbying groups, and I don’t think you want to outlaw them. Heck, signing a petition is a form of lobbying.
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 2 weeks ago:
I think all the talk about billionaires is using a completely arbitrary number and subject to inflation. Wealth inequality is the big problem, it doesn’t matter what number on their bank account is.
