  If you start with the second one you won’t know what’s going on and feel like you’ve missed a bunch of important story.

  This is how it felt after playing the first one as well. Half Life 2 is almost an unrelated game. The plots of the two barely line up.

  Hang on, what is bad about the word moist? Some of my favourite things are moist!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nighttime pollinator gang rise up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What do mean regarding terrible names? “Moth” isn’t inherently a bad name; any negative connotations of the word come from the creature itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Todd Phillips: Movie Theaters Should Ban Commercials Before Films⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was when the credits happened at the start of the film. Now that the credits are at the end, most people would walk out before the trailers could play.

  The good news is you get a four hour erection.
  The bad news is that you die within two hours.

  I used to have this magic basket. I would put dirty clothes in, and later those clothes would turn up clean

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the current best smart TV software/brand/ecosystem option?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have a link to a track ball mouse as an example of what you mean? What do you think are the pros and cons of using one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eternal fire⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an improvement on established technology. The “healthy” angle is that it has a drip tray. For some reason that has more marketing potential than: cooks quicker, with less energy, and a smaller device.

  What is aave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just for a moment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re good at what you do, it’s not hard at all. Doesn’t even feel like work. The one thing it takes from you is time. Long long days, time away from family. It’s wonderful but it’s a doozy of a price you pay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  World of Final Fantasy is as close to a Pokemon rip off as you can get, and they didn’t get sued.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands' theatrical run grinds to a halt with just $31 million worldwide, which is barely enough to cover the marketing costs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow was a difficult one to make. You’ve got the cliche of humans vs orcs, but in the context of Warcraft the orcs aren’t pure evil antagonists. How do you make a swords and magic story where neither side are the bad guys?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What can’t you play?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't a fan of Judas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One version is that a T800 model 101 want back in time and terminated him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'AI is coming for all of us:' Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, and Baldur's Gate voice actor Jennifer Hale weighs in on SAG-AFTRA's games industry strike⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cheaper? yes. better? No. LLMs produce the most derivative inane BS that it would just act as filler. In classic RPGs and adventure games a lot of the filler dialogue was one line per NPC to represent a microcosm within a location. There’s nothing to be gained from theoretically infinite NPCs with theoretically infinite lines of pointless dialogue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did gravity worked on the Death Star?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it looked silly. That is all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Crazy Taxi title will be an open-world, massively multiplayer AAA game, according to Sega⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, that was Driver on psx, which was a good game. It’s the MMO bit I can’t imagine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It helps that Stargate could get away with stuff that that would have to be done by VFX now. They had underpaid extras suffering heatstroke when these days some of the budget would’ve been used for digital crowds.

  The other effects were somewhat standard rotoscope energy blasts and compositing the water effects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tom Cruise's "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 8" production has been delayed, again, due to submarine malfunction— budget said to be nearing $400M.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The AI has made it out into the world, and the submarine has something that can stop it. The ai probably was recovered from the sub by the same people who went for the keys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel — Jenny Nicholson⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not how tax works

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers a diet trick⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All weight loss diet plans are just tricking you into eating less calories. Grapefruits don’t have magical weight loss powers, it’s just if you go on the grapefruit diet you can’t physically bring yourself to eat more than one or two, so you eat less than you normally do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨trapped!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Watergate, and Home?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alien | The birth and curious death of HR Giger’s Space Jockey⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are comics and novels that go deeper into the Space Jockeys that aren’t bad. Getting more isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s mainly that Prometheus Ave Covenant were genuinely terrible additions to the franchise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see.

  Exponential growth means that you would level up faster and faster at an ever increasing rate.

  Perhaps you mean logarithmic growth, where the rate of increase keeps slowing down?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Blizzard president wants to be able to leave a "tip" after completing $70 games: "I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20"⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m from a non tipping culture country, and it always baffles me when I see the opinion of gratitude in the form of money. Why not write to them to say thanks? Or give a good review? If I tried to give money to someone as a thank you here it would be seen as quite rude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨once in a lifetime⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The writer’s strike definitely killed it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨once in a lifetime⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Want it supposed to be an anthology series, where each season was a new cast? But then they were like “her everyone loves these characters! Quick make up some stuff so they all have to stick around.” Then we got weird shit like that character who has a bunch of twins or something, and psycho serial killer Syler joins the team.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you do this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alien: Romulus | Teaser Trailer | In Cinemas Aug 16⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks very much like they are just trying to hit notes from the first two films.

  I am yet to be interested in this. For better or worse, most films in the franchise took unique directions, but this looks more like a trendy remake of the original.
