[twin bear]

And 3

[rustic vessel]

u can play splitgate for ur actual halo gameplay fix, or u can play helldivers if u want to feel like an epic halo guy

[twin bear]

Nah those are cheeks

Imo anyway

They could so the oblivion thing

[stone meadow]

well its just the game with new graphics

[twin bear]

If they rly wanted to play ball

[stone meadow]

they havent done 3 or odst yet

[twin bear]

Yeah not a full reboot

Tbf oblivion was a reboot

[rustic vessel]

yea but theyre gonna do it again in UE5 because, they are afraid to make something new

everytime they hire people to make something new for halo, its awful

also rip the halo megablocks game that wouldve been sick

[stone meadow]

i think its the higher ups tbh

[twin bear]

Yep

[stone meadow]

they wont allow anything that isnt mister chef

[twin bear]

Always the guys upstairs with the bs

In most companies that make games anyway

[rustic vessel]

thats probably it tbh

the new halo team lead is someone whos experience in the gaming industry is UX design and diversity awareness... stuff

[stone meadow]

im sure theres writers who would love to make a new story more than anything but if john halo isnt on the cover we cant sell it

[rustic vessel]

its joever

[twin bear]

U pour your heart and soul into a pitch and they say no because they don't know the actual fanbase🥀

[rustic vessel]

honestly i think thats it. i remember hearing people were pitching a helldivers-like game for halo and it got shot down

[twin bear]

Bruhh

[stone meadow]

i mean they already got the perfect setup and lore for it

ODST are just that

[twin bear]

Wow what a missed opportunity

At it's finest

[rustic vessel]

indeed 😔

i just dont get why they arent halo maxxing

[twin bear]

At least I got my Warhammer

[rustic vessel]

it WAS the flagship IP of xbox and microsoft and now they just like, dont even care

[twin bear]

For now...

[rustic vessel]

true warhammer keeps on giving

[twin bear]

Yeah

[rustic vessel]

warhammer got u for literally any genre u want

[twin bear]

[stone meadow]

i mean microsoft is going in on pc gaming now

[rustic vessel]

only thing missing is a warhammer fighting game

[stone meadow]

so exclusives wont really matter

All the halos are on pc already

[twin bear]

What even are exclusives other than old games now

😭

[rustic vessel]

dont think really anything

halo 5

[stone meadow]

the last of us remastered rebuilt redone

[twin bear]

I wish ghost of tsushima wasn't on pc

That was a great ps game

[stone meadow]

wasnt? why

[twin bear]

Exclusives

Reasons to buy a Playstation

[stone meadow]

im all for de-exclusiving everything

[twin bear]

Cross-platform in mind i assume

Cuz it is a massive buff to player bases as well

Helps keep games alive

[stone meadow]

buying a console cause of fomo is silly

[twin bear]

If the console is shit

Which most are

[stone meadow]

it is a bigger buff to userbase if its both on pc and console tho

[twin bear]

Nintendo makes solid stuff it's just boring

Yeah i was saying that

[stone meadow]

consoles still have a place without exclusives

[twin bear]

Yeah couch gaming is peak

[stone meadow]

not everyone wants to mess around with a pc

[twin bear]

Plus younger people usually play consoles first

[stone meadow]

just buy a £400 all in one box and youre fine

[sterile zephyr]

this new aiming system hurts my brain man

[stone meadow]

the next xbox is apparently gonna be a mix of pc and console

[twin bear]

Mfers were buying Playstation 5s for so much before they were even out😭
That's so icky

[stone meadow]

with access to steam

the ps5 still has no games

[twin bear]

They'll prolly sell more

Easily after that tbf

[thin wedge]

gta 6

[twin bear]

Gta 6 unlocked

[stone meadow]

gta 6 aint out yet

[thin wedge]

yeah but its gonna be a console timed exclusive like always

[twin bear]

Gta 6 will either be absolutely ball or kill anyone's love for it

[thin wedge]

same with V same with rdr2

[twin bear]

Except online ofc

[stone meadow]

i hope gta 6 is good. it better be good

[thin wedge]

if the leak is true maybe

[stone meadow]

they havent gone wrong so far

[twin bear]

Yeah we gotta let them cook

[onyx igloo]

me over here wanting a better online rdr2

[thin wedge]

with thosr rdr2 esqe moodles

[twin bear]

It's dead sadly

[thin wedge]

and stuff

[onyx igloo]

its just, bad

[thin wedge]

redm

[onyx igloo]

i want to do cool bank robberies in online

what is a redm

[stone meadow]

people play that?

[twin bear]

It was fun

[thin wedge]

the better rdr2 online duh

[twin bear]

When it was played by real players

And not cheaters

[thin wedge]

tho it just rdr2 with RP

[onyx igloo]

i did

its ass

[twin bear]

Sounds like a decent game

[onyx igloo]

dont bother

[twin bear]

Well mod

[onyx igloo]

what kind

the standing one

[thin wedge]

https://redm.net

[onyx igloo]

or actual

stuff

[twin bear]

Epic shit

Didn't know this was a thing

[last spoke]

The controller is one of the best though

[rain mango]

Beware for trouble

And make it double

[twin bear]

Built in speakers goes hard

[bronze moat]

It will be. Rockstar is literally making sure it launches successfully as well as hits the marks.

Which also means it will be day 1 banned in several countries

[twin bear]

Hearing mfers call u in cyberpunk on ps5 is crazy

[bronze moat]

Meh. I just use lobby manager.

Every player can log in with the same mods (if any) and it works the same

[twin bear]

If it's not banned in multiple countries it's lame

Gta wise

[bronze moat]

Chat GPT in cyberpunk let’s you text NPC’s like Judy

[twin bear]

Nah no gpt

For me anyway

Not in my games

[bronze moat]

And radio EX lets you listen to live internet radio in game.

[twin bear]

Heck no man

[bronze moat]

But I refuse the online stuff too

[twin bear]

I don't even trust minceraft mods that add discord support

Nope

[bronze moat]

So my modded radio stations are not the online ones

[last spoke]

I can do that in Minecraft, it ain't that deep

[twin bear]

I can watch TV in mintcraft

[last spoke]

And in Rust

[rain mango]

Prepare for trouble and make it double!

To protect zomboid from when mp posters to unite all survivors within degeneral to denounce the evils of sprinters and respawn to extend our playtime to 1000 hours indiestone releases a hotfix at the speed of a rock give up hope now or prepare to cry Baldspot thats right!

[twin bear]

Lol

[thin wedge]

need a locense to play gta

soon

[bronze moat]

Yeah it’s a lua code too! Can do it in PZ. Surprised no one has yet. Would replace True Music

[heavy ivy]

playstation makes great hardware, love the dualshock 4 & 5
i will never forgive sony for killing my child

[rain mango]

Im high

[twin bear]

Piracy moment

[rain mango]

[stone meadow]

Yes

[twin bear]

Death by dying

[bronze moat]

You are not wrong.

[rain mango]

Im going to touch u

[stone meadow]

[rain mango]

to moderate this server

[twin bear]

https://tenor.com/view/mods-discord-mod-moderator-moderation-clash-of-clans-gif-24080525

Scan HIS FACE

[stone meadow]

discord told me I am both an adult and a teen

[twin bear]

SCAN*

[stone meadow]

You said scan

[last spoke]

Or Dr. Breen

[twin bear]

I meant all caps

[rain mango]

Destroy

[stone meadow]

lonely

[twin bear]

I refuse to edit my shit with this laggy as phone

[stone meadow]

if looks could kill

baby im a fashion demon

[twin bear]

Got the Gucci flip flops and some pineapple socks with the trash bag clothes

🗣️

I'm rolling in style

[bronze moat]

If it’s through an actual verification service, then it’s all good.

The worry lots of us have is that the Youtube AI is literally designed to make a full psychological profile on every user, and anyone can buy that data.

It’s not protected by any government agency or over-site.

So when you upload your info to use FB, IG, TikTok, Spotify and Youtube in 2028?

All of the data is shared, and sold. And data breaches worse than any Sony ever got means everyone will have everything.

[twin bear]

Let the govermint have all access

I don't rly mind

Until they raid me for the secret lab hidden under my floorboards ong

[bronze moat]

If you say words like “brain rot” Youtube AI will auto lock you into Youtube for kids until you provide your drivers license and a photo of your face.

Which even Walmart will be able to purchase and add to their database

[strange beacon]

privacy is no longer a human right

it hasn’t been for decades

[bronze moat]

It’s not going to be government. It’s going to be corporate

[twin bear]

Yay cyberpunk

Nah fuck that

[bronze moat]

Agreed. This is just the next step

[twin bear]

Cia get back here bro

Handle this ong

[rain mango]

We figured out how to hook nerves up to motors

[twin bear]

We need to figure out how to rip out said nerves

[rain mango]

We made a new cybernetic prosthetic leg that has working joints u can control using the nerves n muscles in ur knee

[bronze moat]

Youtubes AI is literally going to make psych profiles on every user.

No one is gonna boycott Youtube. So it’s happening

[karmic jetty]

whos we

[twin bear]

The agent watching this server

[strange beacon]

don’t get yourself too bummed out about how much the world might suck btw, just enjoy your life bros

[rain mango]

Im gonna stop using youtube starting tomorrow

I dont use social media much anyways

[twin bear]

Face scan to watch guntube

[bronze moat]

The limbs are neat. Camera eyes (cybereyes) also exist

[twin bear]

Sad

I can't wait to not afford cyberwear

[strange beacon]

hey guys, my truck is almost drivable 😭

i’ve been working on this thing for a year at least

[twin bear]

Stop hitting people with it dammit

Oh irl

Lmao

[bronze moat]

Whats gonna be funny is when you get limited to ONE account per government ID.

1 billion users are bots or secondary accounts. Those will go poof overnight.

[strange beacon]

no i’m a pretty good driver lol

[twin bear]

😭

[strange beacon]

yes irl

[twin bear]

Still dont hit ppl

[strange beacon]

an old squarebody chevy i bought off my neighbor

[twin bear]

Hell yeah

[strange beacon]

got hella lucky

[twin bear]

Can't go wrong with a chevy

Now a Ford? Yes, yes u can.

[bronze moat]

https://tenor.com/view/ranma-hit-akane-bong-gif-19786754

[strange beacon]

same LS motor for generations and it still runs flawlessly

if it aint broke dont fix it pal

[rain mango]

Why cant we say slurs anymore why is the internet censoring us!

Down with the clankers

Down with them all!

[strange beacon]

i’ll probably just stop using the internet at that point

[twin bear]

But I bet I can still buy tobacco and alcohol at the store without an ID

[bronze moat]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-blair-soul-eater-gif-13721574

[strange beacon]

it’s already so commercialized to the point where the original culture and identity behind the internet is just gone, at that point it’s just hell

[bronze moat]

And guns in cash and carry states!

[last spoke]

I FOUND THE CLIP LET'S GO

[twin bear]

The world was cooked when we figured out how to move around enough to spread the disease

Disease as in humans because we're killing this dam planet at the current rate

[twin bear]

I unironically like this

[frosty tulip]

Yeah I don't know why the dev studio made our class so OP

We've had insanely unbalanced abilities for such a long time, we need a big rebalance patch

[strange beacon]

i wonder when our next wipe will be

[onyx igloo]

boutta drink some Kelp Shake

refreshing drink

[frosty tulip]

The devs really gotta fucking stop deleting classes just because not as many people play them anymore.

People loved the dodo class

[twin bear]

Not guns in cash though

[bronze moat]

A .50 cal BMG rifle goes for $5-10K.

[onyx igloo]

does anyone here have a 3d printer
if so please print a kelp shake bottle

and send a picture

[strange beacon]

dude you have the whole internet

just look up a picture of one

[twin bear]

Concealed carry if done right can be safe when mfers just act silly, but that's for my personall protection ofc it shouldn't even be necessary but I digress p word anyway

[twin bear]

Bro finna turn green

[twin bear]

Mammoth class was crazy too I heard i didn't start playing until the war to end all wars patch though

[twin bear]

My messages sent late

[onyx igloo]

i use it sparingly

[twin bear]

I don't like cash buy ins

[onyx igloo]

low battery mode

[strange beacon]

guys

[onyx igloo]

guys kill akirun im bored

[young seal]

Cryogenic winter hard mode + more dangerous infections+ random zombies+ 10 years+ low cars + starting maximum months in = a bad time

[strange beacon]

what if we bought a bunch of p320s and threw them at each other for fun

[twin bear]

I love masochist playthrus

Sounds like one to me

[twin bear]

Let's throw ICBMs at eachother

U go first

[young seal]

It was unplayable without giving him winter clothes at the start

[strange beacon]

Sean, i’m going to play the mission if you keep testing me

you know the one

[frosty tulip]

Way back in the day actually, everywhere was controlled by these classes called Dinosaurs, then eventually the dev studio got bought out and the new owners wanted to go a different direction so they created some asteroid event to kickstart their next major update.

[young seal]

And i had to give myself a lighter too

[dawn jewel]

Cheez

[twin bear]

😭 I never even tried winter starting yet

[onyx igloo]

shut up you look like squidward with a toupee

[rain mango]

Clankers

[strange beacon]

huh

[rain mango]

Filthy clankas

[twin bear]

Sounds like an epic reboot ngl

[young seal]

I’m starting cryogenic hard mode in freaking October lol

[strange beacon]

we need to destroy all clankers

[rain mango]

Guys ive got a shocking thing to reveal to u all

[strange beacon]

those tinskinned freaks

[rain mango]

I actually coded the asteroid that wiped the dinosaur class and i have a sneak peak for the new wipe event

[twin bear]

Wish I was there!

U guys are gonna make it impossible to say that word🗣️

[rain mango]

Tinskins clankers

All the same

[strange beacon]

clanker?

i’m never gonna stop using it

[rain mango]

Filthy clankas shouldnt be allowed to work in our world!

[bronze moat]

Cryowinter is fun!

My (modded) combat set for roxy kept her just at “chilly” outdoors.

[frosty tulip]

Yeah this was back before the game really hit it big. The big Industrial Revolution patch is what really started making the game gain a lot of popularity.

One of the worst patches in recent years was probably that Black Death patch, shit tons of the playerbase just dropped the game entirely.

[strange beacon]

cryowinter is dope asf cus it lets me see the pretty snow all year long

[frosty tulip]

It was super poorly balanced.

[rain mango]

The space travel update comes out in version 2050

[karmic jetty]

its never coming

[twin bear]

How was the battle pass tho

[karmic jetty]

devs too focused on making the game harder but not fun

[rain mango]

Earth battlepass i just shot up a clankas ass booted up my pc cuz i need me that earth battlepass

[strange beacon]

honestly

[twin bear]

Call of dooty update perhaps they love pulling that every few years on us

[young seal]

I’m just annoyed that there doesn’t seem to be a hypothermia kills option for b42

[frosty tulip]

It was meh, at best in the battle pass, you'd get these cosmetic accessories where your characters fingers, toes and other parts of their skin looked necrotic.

[strange beacon]

it’s kind of hard to not see us heading towards a dystopian society in the next 30 or so years

[onyx igloo]

Accurate to the avg COD player

[twin bear]

Sounds way better than my epic tier trench foot cosmetic dammm

Lucky mfers prolly got tons of sick skins

[onyx igloo]

i think we'd probably rebel before it gets to that point

[strange beacon]

i don’t know…

[frosty tulip]

Yeah that was a fucking awesome event but at the same time it wasn't all that well balanced in hindsight.

You'd spend a long time grinding your character and then you get to the event and are instantly killed by a mortar shot by another player.

[twin bear]

Yeah sounds like a bad time to be in the playerbase

[strange beacon]

modern governments are to the point where rebellion is nigh impossible

[arctic sundial]

if youtube actually does all that stuff i'm switching to glomble

[young seal]

That’s what they want you to think

[twin bear]

I'm snitching on my neighbor's dog for terrorist propaganda

[onyx igloo]

can we rebel (rebel) against the combine (dystopian future)

like half life 2

[frosty tulip]

lmao I'm instantly surrendering to the combine

[thin wedge]

nah let uhhhh

[onyx igloo]

(earth)

[frosty tulip]

ain't beating em

[twin bear]

Yeah fr

Might even be a cool new job

[strange beacon]

ngl i’d just kms bruh

[thin wedge]

play prop hunt irl

[twin bear]

Pick up that can.

[onyx igloo]

you can kick the metrocops nuts

[thin wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/prop-hunt-gta-5-gta-5-prop-hunt-gif-4880134566371620413

[frosty tulip]

Wouldn't have to, solid chance you die during the Seven Hour War or the aftermath.

[strange beacon]

true

[rain mango]

I think we should just get rid of the government

And return to monkeys

[frosty tulip]

Likely barely anybody left by the time you start in HL2

[strange beacon]

dude what a brilliant idea, why hasnt anybody ever thought of this?… oh

[twin bear]

Remember 7 hrs means they just bombs our fucking countries

[onyx igloo]

obviously you need the Hazardous Environments Suit

[rain mango]

And i think i should rule the world

[frosty tulip]

and then they drained our ocean by dropping a giant straw and some alien slurped a lot of the water out

truly sad

[onyx igloo]

youll get stabbed for being leader

like feudal times

[rain mango]

Not if i stab everybody else first

With my stabinator

[strange beacon]

BadlandsChugs visits Earth

[arctic sundial]

then i will be the leader after that

[onyx igloo]

we will overwhelm you

[arctic sundial]

and i won't get stabbed because i'm better

[twin bear]

Imagine entire capitals gone in seconds before we even knew what was goin on

[twin bear]

[onyx igloo]

turn into a meatball

[rain mango]

I will just unoverwhelm

I am inevitable

[frosty tulip]

Dude it's entirely plasubile that there are a decent amount of people who survived the Seven Hour War and ended up sleeping through it.

[onyx igloo]

i feel tired but not tired

[frosty tulip]

They wake up baffled

[strange beacon]

anybody that lives in rural/smaller town areas

[twin bear]

It'd just feel bad no other way to put it

[onyx igloo]

"Good mor- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?"

[frosty tulip]

You sleep for like 8 hours or some shit and then your mate tells ya "OH YEAH MATE, EARTH SURRENDERED, ALIENS INVADED ITS OVER"

wild way to wake up

[twin bear]

The world just ended for us GGs ig lmao

[rain mango]

That episode of goosebumps where the ants took over the world

[onyx igloo]

if i was in hl2 i'd try eating a headcrab

headcrab and pigeon soup

[frosty tulip]

tbh, not remotely surprised a decent amount of people join the combine

[strange beacon]

what if it eats you back

[twin bear]

Alot of them tried to fight back and we learned real quick that it isn't a winning battle

[onyx igloo]

im better

[strange beacon]

can’t beat them join them

[twin bear]

I'd join the combine. If it was life or death

[frosty tulip]

it is quite funny seeing people go "oh yeah but one scientist beat them"

[onyx igloo]

id kick you in the balls

[frosty tulip]

brotha that isn't the entire combine army

[arctic sundial]

i'd die if it was join the combine or die

[strange beacon]

and it was not because of just one dude lmao, gordon had an entire rebellion backing him

[frosty tulip]

The combine army left on earth are basically just some backwater sheriffs department

barely any of their forces

[onyx igloo]

gordon freeman does have a godlike businessman on his side

[frosty tulip]

Nah he had one thing way more important than the entire rebellion, Gman.

[onyx igloo]

Somewhat

[twin bear]

They would kill me but still I'd take the offer

[frosty tulip]

Some dude that can easily fuck with time travel?

[strange beacon]

bleh bleh Gman

[frosty tulip]

yeah, major advantage

[strange beacon]

you mean the skibidi guy?

[onyx igloo]

chat

[frosty tulip]

G Skibidi Man

yeah

[onyx igloo]

kill him

[strange beacon]

dude he’s omniscient, he’s the definition of a god dude

[onyx igloo]

hes a funny low quality video man

[strange beacon]

the only thing that seperates humans from gods is the power to be omniscient

[twin bear]

Wanna see my gman persona

[onyx igloo]

no

[twin bear]

I made him in gmod lmaoo

[frosty tulip]

the terrifying thing would be that he's not even that powerful, since he has employers.

Think about how insane they are.

[twin bear]

Shit its on my pc

[mellow helm]

Remember, no matter what you felling

TRI POLOSKI

[strange beacon]

actual dimensional level threats dude

[twin bear]

He's wearing a headcrab that's smoking 🗣️

[strange beacon]

them mfs are at least 4th dimensional

[mellow helm]

Imagine if we could have a similar game lime zomboid, but on space

[twin bear]

What even is gmod

Gman*

[strange beacon]

go play Dead Space

[frosty tulip]

but ye you know what would suck?

getting promoted as a metrocop

rough time

[strange beacon]

oh yeah body horror my favorite

[mellow helm]

Im already played dead space, first once when i was 13

It was a bad idea

[frosty tulip]

you really have to imagine those promotions aren't something you can refuse

[onyx igloo]

No more memories!

[strange beacon]

i loved Dead Space bro

[twin bear]

Why do i feel everyone gets "promoted"

[frosty tulip]

Not even the only bad part.

[onyx igloo]

penor gone

[frosty tulip]

The augmentations they give you are fucked

especially for whatever the fuck the suppressors are

[strange beacon]

drink Dr. Breens flouride water

[frosty tulip]

their eyes seem way too far apart

[twin bear]

Christ have u fuckin seen the art

[strange beacon]

it’s amazing

[onyx igloo]

Well they do remove your eyeballs and replace them with those goggles

[strange beacon]

i live for dystopian horror art

[twin bear]

Mfers are RUINED

Gone

[onyx igloo]

I wanted to play this so bad

I dont have vr

[frosty tulip]

Some sort of camera ports, yeah.

[onyx igloo]

Agony

[twin bear]

I love vr but it gets old fast for me

At least now

[onyx igloo]

Is HLA any good?

[twin bear]

Played onward with a guy for 23 hrs straight once tho

Yes very

[frosty tulip]

HL Alyx was fucking amazing

[twin bear]

Worth getting.

[frosty tulip]

But the HL2 VR mod was also really good

[onyx igloo]

i wanna play it

[frosty tulip]

I played that to prep for HLA

[onyx igloo]

i need a good vr tho

[twin bear]

Hl2 vr mod mentioned

[frosty tulip]

The water hazard level in HL2 Vr was fucking amazing

Controlling the airboat in VR was so sick

[twin bear]

I normally hate that section

But not in vr

[onyx igloo]

imagine someone making hl2 in source 2

[frosty tulip]

oh yeah water hazard is dog shit

except in vr

well I think I loved water hazard the very first time I played HL2

but after that it was always the biggest chore

[twin bear]

Half life 2 getting the black Mesa treatment would be amazing ngl

[frosty tulip]

the only part I despised about HLA?

[strange beacon]

same for the jeep section lol

[frosty tulip]

Poison Headcrabs

disgusting bastards

oh my god

[twin bear]

Especially on low hp

[frosty tulip]

easily my most hated video game enemy by far becuase of HLA

remember the hotel?

[onyx igloo]

can you grab the headcrabs and beat them to death against a wall

[twin bear]

Literally hitscan I swear

[frosty tulip]

nightmare fuel level actually

[twin bear]

I do

[onyx igloo]

did yall watch the gnome is alive series

[twin bear]

I remember panicking when I was supposed to throw stuff for bro as well

[frosty tulip]

"oh ye mate the basement is a poison headcrab lair, also can you switch the power off while you're down there? k thanks"

git fucked

[stone meadow]

my insta is currenly filled with reels telling me to get a drivers license

[strange beacon]

was that the same dude that did the hlvrai

[onyx igloo]

yeah

[stone meadow]

just had 5 in a row of those

[strange beacon]

i dont think so

but i loved hlvrai

[twin bear]

I learned to hit walls when I played that segment

[onyx igloo]

watch it

[strange beacon]

good soldiers follow orders

[twin bear]

I hate small rooms and vr

[stone meadow]

i will never drive a vehicle

[frosty tulip]

Even normal headcrabs suck, but poisons? Holy shit. The amount of relief I'd feel seeing combine soldiers and thinking "thank fuck at least it's not headcrabs"

[onyx igloo]

basically the gnome is all the souls of the hlvrai characters fighting to speak

[frosty tulip]

I'd feel so happy seeing combine soldiers in it

[strange beacon]

lame, it’s the best thing in the world

[frosty tulip]

just a simple gunfight

[twin bear]

Even when they blast me in a few shots fr

[strange beacon]

getting to go 70 in a 45 is such a freeing experience

[frosty tulip]

I remember thinking the heavies were the worst of the soldiers, but you know I quickly changed my mind?

The first time I saw an ordinal deploy a fucking manhack

bastard

[twin bear]

I be acting way too tactical for that game sometimes just to be splattered by a tanky boi

[strange beacon]

dude imagine being chased by a manhack

that would be horrifying

[twin bear]

Screw that

[frosty tulip]

The manhacks are actually a disturbing design when you think about it.

[twin bear]

I'll jump off a building if I can before thay

[frosty tulip]

That shit isn't meant to kill you instantly, it's meant to injure you to draw out other rebels who come to help you

and then they get hit by em

[twin bear]

Snipers without any sniping

[frosty tulip]

makes sense too since it just seems like the combine fucking love efficency

[strange beacon]

automated snipers

[onyx igloo]

Manhack when I show it the 12 gauge of pure agony

[frosty tulip]

It's why I really don't agree with people saying how the HL2 Beta world design seems so much better than retail.

[twin bear]

I'm throwing headcrabs at em until I run outta my food source

[onyx igloo]

I wouldnt say its better but has its own charm

[twin bear]

(I eat the headcrabs)

[onyx igloo]

Dark Interval was really fun

[strange beacon]

the hl2 beta seemed like it was copying the usual dystopian smog and george orwell cliche way too much

[frosty tulip]

I'd personally say retail is far better, just because it feels like it fits the Combine better.

[stone meadow]

i eat the combine

[frosty tulip]

The beta was going for some generic futuristic 1984 dystopia shit or something

Retail is better cause the Combine don't give a shit about us

[onyx igloo]

yeah

[frosty tulip]

So most of their architecture is just their shit put onto our existing buildings

they don't need to build elaborate cities, we already have em

[twin bear]

Earth isn't even that important last time I check other than the teleporting tech

It's literally out of the way

[frosty tulip]

Yeah and even with that super important tech for their empire, they still don't give a rats ass

[strange beacon]

resources

water

[twin bear]

Farming earth for exp and resources ong

[frosty tulip]

Yeah but at the same time, they probably value the teleport tech way more.

[strange beacon]

that’s like a pretty big plot point

[strange beacon]

100%

[frosty tulip]

If it was just for resources only, they would've gutted the planet years ago

[twin bear]

It's nothing compared to what they get from other planets

[frosty tulip]

they really want that tech, but at the same time, they still don't care

[onyx igloo]

I dont know how to describe dark interval, but the City 17 style was really cool

Its kind of a mishmash between retail and beta

[twin bear]

Combine is just a bunch greedy aliens lmao

That's the worst part

[onyx igloo]

Corporate Aliens

[twin bear]

Yeah

Almost every enemy u fight is a slave to them in some way

[frosty tulip]

I just prefer how with retail, a lot of the disturbing shit isn't in your face, it's there if you think about it.

[twin bear]

The bodies with guns next to them

Says enough to me

[frosty tulip]

Like the people at the train station talking about how they're constantly being relocated between the cities.

So you can never stay in one place.

You will be transferred constantly

[twin bear]

They prolly just destroy parts of cities with rebellious people too

[onyx igloo]

This is Dark Interval

[twin bear]

One dude spray painting a wall finna get the block blown up

[onyx igloo]

I really like the C17 logo

[frosty tulip]

well ye, but I think most of the relocations happen anyway so they can make it even harder to form resistance groups.

How can you form a resistance group when you've already been transferred and it's only been a month?

[twin bear]

Disperse the population to confuse them constantly makes sense

[onyx igloo]

Well uhh, Ravenholm

[frosty tulip]

yeah, a lot, I didn't say all tho

[onyx igloo]

I like both honestly

[frosty tulip]

you got some terrible shit hidden in the dialogue.

[onyx igloo]

beta and retail

[onyx igloo]

The cat.

[frosty tulip]

Like how some of what the Overwatch AI says to metrocops is fucked.

Dudes who fail to uphold their duty, might have their families killed as well

[stone meadow]

I like how overwatch is all fucked up after the citadel goes down

and I just know its some actual human stripped of all humanity and biology that isnt necessary for speaking being the overwatch

[onyx igloo]

Dont they also suppress the civilians from having kids

[frosty tulip]

everybody is suppressed from that

you literally cannot have children because of the suppression fields

[stone meadow]

well unless you got a permit no

[onyx igloo]

suppression fields

is it just a forcefield on your penor

[frosty tulip]

I'm not sure when it went into infect canonically, but if it happened fairly early on, the youngest person in HL2 could be in their 20s

[stone meadow]

was it a reproductive permit or a "you can fuck" permit

[onyx igloo]

Forcefield undies

[mellow birch]

fuck permit I think

[frosty tulip]

pretty sure the latter.

[mellow birch]

they wanted to phase humanity out

[frosty tulip]

cause I think the AI says "reproductive simulation" or some shit

[onyx igloo]

"permission to fuck sir"

[onyx igloo]

lmao when they get bored

[stone meadow]

how would they know if you have or havent anyway

[last spoke]

Yeah, which the combine would probably consider to be just fucking normally, because they'd see the real function as reproducing

[frosty tulip]

Or more likely, as an incentive to uphold your duty.

[mellow birch]

people are kept separate from their families

[stone meadow]

they prolly have the CP and their families stationed in special barracks or smth

[frosty tulip]

FROG

[stone meadow]

or maybe separate sure

[mellow birch]

I suppose they wouldn’t know for certain at all times

[frosty tulip]

DON'T ABBREVIATE CIVIL PROTECTION

GAAAAHHHHH

[onyx igloo]

they keep cameras down there

[mellow birch]

but you wouldn’t have the opportunity

they controlled everyone’s time very strictly

their drones even more so I imagine

[stone meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/city17-gif-21175359

truly feel like a breen bot

[frosty tulip]

I think some people stay with their families, some are seperated through the relocations.

[stone meadow]

p sure relocation is like, "relocation"

as in they get executed

[mellow birch]

idk

[onyx igloo]

also how do you eat a combine ration

[stone meadow]

the offworld one at least

[frosty tulip]

Cause in the start of HL2, I think there was somebody at the train station talking about how they detained her husband and presumably put him on the train to nova prospect

[onyx igloo]

the hl2 ones

theyre like

[mellow birch]

they were pretty open about actual executions happening all the time

[frosty tulip]

in terms of the officers? Yeah, but with civilians? The dudes on the train talk about how they've been relocated several times this year.

[mellow birch]

so I think the relocation thing was actual displacement

[onyx igloo]

How do you eat this

[stone meadow]

i dont think overwatch ever said outright if you fail you get executed?

p sure it was always threatening offworld relocation

[onyx igloo]

is it like a capri sun bag

[mellow birch]

haven’t played it in a long time

[stone meadow]

or something something family unit

forgot what it said

[mellow birch]

so honestly I don’t remember the wording

[frosty tulip]

That might imply a more grim fate.

[mellow birch]

but being a lobotomized drone off-world in an alien empire is arguably a fate worse than death anyways

[frosty tulip]

If offworld relocation isn't a weird way to say they're being executed by the combine, then that probably means their bodies will be altered massively by the combine and they're sent off to go serve the combine in another world

Maybe the augmentations you receive for that are worse than the soldiers, maybe somehow worse than the stalkers

who knows

[stone meadow]

yeah the civil protection is threatened by offworld relocation/assigment

just checked

[onyx igloo]

combine are hella evil damn

[mellow birch]

indeed they are

[frosty tulip]

I'd also have to imagine it isn't always that if you fail your duty? They could also get turned into stalkers or soldiers?

[stone meadow]

maybe they actually do get sent offworld

to some other planet conquered by combine

[heavy ivy]

the relocation is absolutely local to earth too, keeping people mixed up reduces the chance for an uprising

[onyx igloo]

also imagine having to listen to breen yap everyday
and eat egg/water flavored paste

[frosty tulip]

I have to imagine there's a solid chance they do that. Because the combine seem ruthlessly efficient. Why just kill this guy off when we have more to gain by shipping them to another world to be a slave until they die?

[stone meadow]

yeah prolly

[mellow birch]

I imagine they’re more likely to kill you for being disabled than anything tbh.

that’s the vibe I get from the combine

[stone meadow]

remove this guys frontal lobe, send him to xen

[mellow birch]

deaths in peacekeeping operations are incidental and irrelevant

[frosty tulip]

that and, they get to test out our capabilities, so they can see how we perform with these disturbing augmentations.

[onyx igloo]

they probably get turned to stalkers

[frosty tulip]

So they can alter us even further.

[stone meadow]

are we even worth it tho

[mellow birch]

in the long run humanity is an extinct, domesticated pool of drones

[mellow birch]

no, that’s why they wanted to phase us out

[stone meadow]

the other aliens have stuff like psychic powers or brute strength

we need armour and guns to compete

[frosty tulip]

They 100% would, they'd want workers. If you have some sort of condition preventing that? Tough luck.

[mellow birch]

the existing population was just getting utilized to the fullest

[severe agate]

Well they basically made everyone sterile so

[onyx igloo]

Still, what about stalkers?

[mellow birch]

they didn’t think humanity is a worthwhile investment to keep a large population of

[onyx igloo]

Physical disability..? eh you're a stalker now

[frosty tulip]

Well yeah but not every alien in their arsenal is going to be super useful, but they'd still find a place for them. Just because those aliens have better abilities, doesn't mean they wouldn't want us. They could use us as a cheaper option

Aren't a lot of the alien combine you see in HL2 synths?

[onyx igloo]

we just revolted out of spite

we gonna die but screw you aliens

[frosty tulip]

So eventually it's plausible they make a synth template for us and they'll keep using those after we've gone extinct

utilized as a cheap worker or cannon fodder or whatever

[stone meadow]

at least we shut down one of their water fountains. or we will anyway. when valve graces us with hl3

[onyx igloo]

Ill be 30 by then

Or dead

[mellow birch]

a war against the combine with GLaDOs as a commander of human forces would be interesting

[stone meadow]

i dont think glados gives a shit

[frosty tulip]

I feel like they'd still sweep us lol

[mellow birch]

misanthropic android trying to save humanity to free her home planet from being meddled with

[mellow birch]

she might care if they start poking around aperture too much

[onyx igloo]

god my foot is coated in bug bites

some bastard bug

[stone meadow]

plus when she spat chell out in portal 2 its already been thousands of years? since hl2

[mellow birch]

that’s true

idk if it was thousands

but it was a big time skip

[stone meadow]

well going off what the incubation room said

it literally ran out of years to count

[onyx igloo]

chell probably was like "what the fuck was that"

[frosty tulip]

cause of Y2K

obviously

all the computers went wacky

[stone meadow]

true

[mellow birch]

I just think it’d be an interesting story

[stone meadow]

y2k is why we got the resonance cascade

[rose kestrel]

Only TF2 mercs could stop combine

[frosty tulip]

WOAHHH

[onyx igloo]

were people actually freaked out by y2k

[frosty tulip]

GMAN WAS FRAMED FOR IT

[mellow birch]

not that it would happen in HL/Portal lore as it stands

[frosty tulip]

he never caused it

it was Y2K

dang

[onyx igloo]

time to rewatch hlvrai

[stone meadow]

what if gman caused y2k

[mellow birch]

I might write a story like that actually

a rogue AI that comes out to the light to fight off alien invaders on a human colony world or something

[stone meadow]

i mean some people took out huge loans or literally died

so yeah some were freaked out you could say

[spiral condor]

i want to squeeze a labubu's neck until it pops

[mellow birch]

not out of altruism per-se, but because it saw the value of using the existing colonists as agents against the threat it wanted to expel

[stone meadow]

if only glados wasnt half dead for all that time

[frosty tulip]

the trouble is how does Glados win that anyway?

Really has to bank on being so much of a pest that the combine just decide we aren't worth the trouble

[stone meadow]

yeah and glados isnt exactly a super genius eifher

or a regular genius

or even that smart

[frosty tulip]

well come to think of it, we're trying to do the same thing in HL2 pretty much, just make the combine fuck off and decide we aren't worth it or some shit

but I feel like Gman is a far greater "ally" than Glados could be.

Gman seems much more powerful

[bronze moat]

Hundreds, not thousands

[bronze moat]

Ever play portal VR?

Glados coming down and looking you DIRECTLY in the face is terrifying

[mellow birch]

she’s supposed to be a sapient AI with awareness that encompasses all the computing capacity of aperture

[stone meadow]

are we told somewhere its hundreds?

[bronze moat]

But basic timeline is Portal 1 is 10-30 years before Half Life. Then Portal 2 is a few hundred years after Half Life 2

[mellow birch]

pretty sure she’s a genius

she has more cognitive abilities than a random human

[stone meadow]

im going off the relaxation chamber literally capping out at 99999

and im sure it could handle some hundreds of years

[mellow birch]

not if something broke, perhaps

[stone meadow]

yeah but we arent told its hundreds either

[frosty tulip]

still feel like Gman is a much more powerful ally tho

[mellow birch]

gman is outside of time and space, so yeah

[bronze moat]

Nothing is canocal. But fans pieced it together based on the tech, aging of the buildings, and dates.

Like we know when cave johnson went to school. And we know rough dates for major events in half life

[stone meadow]

a genius beat by a random human and a dumb on purpose ai

[mellow birch]

that is a bit of a plothole tbh

[stone meadow]

i dont think it is

i just dont think glados is all that smart

[bronze moat]

Glados was insane too

[mellow birch]

she definitely wasn’t the most rational

[bronze moat]

She’s not super smart. Look at the indovidual modules that make her up. Most are literal idiots

[stone meadow]

yeah shes connected to the entirety of apeture but that doesnt make her intelligent

[bronze moat]

And apeture was run by nut jobs

[mellow birch]

it doesn’t make her insightful necessarily but awareness and mental processing power is a part of intelligence

[bronze moat]

Story of Mel is epic by the way. You should play it if you like portal

[stone meadow]

Shes not smart enough to beat the combine thats for sure

With all her flaws, intelligence aside

[bronze moat]

Yeah she’s not too smart. Her focus was still on testing and she killed a LOT of people who almost made it to the cake

[stone meadow]

And testing is what she did to have fun anyway, not to actually get any data out of it

[mellow birch]

she has an insane manufacturing base to work with and a facility which is made of nanotechnology which can shapeshift and whatnot

she could at least bankroll a major resistance effort

[stone meadow]

but would she

[mellow birch]

probably

not

she’s too singularly focused

[stone meadow]

plus if she got all that tech why was the place in such disrepair once she got back in control

she can shit out lots of turrets i guess

[bronze moat]

When yer buddy takes over notice how he repaired a LOT of stuff places? I think individually he was smarter than glados.

He had his indovidual intelligence, then gained access to everything glados had

[mellow birch]

didn’t she go into standby or something?

[stone meadow]

he didnt repair it tho didnt he fuck up some of the testing chambers

he just reactivated what was there

[mellow birch]

Wheatley broke some things iirc

[stone meadow]

at least glados made atlas and peabody

prolly could produce an army of somewhat sentient robots

[mellow birch]

I just think it’s an interesting premise

[last spoke]

Wheatley is literally an intelligence dampening core. If they needed wheatley to dampen GladOs

[mellow birch]

I can think of a rationalization for something like her to do that, but the character as presented wouldn’t

[stone meadow]

i think if glados did help humanity and if by some miracle they did win

glados would just go on to enslave it

[clear dragon]

Whats up guys

[mellow birch]

well, through the course of their efforts to repel the combine she might decide that an antagonistic relationship is more costly than worth it

a grateful humanity that lets her fuck around in and outside of Earth might be preferable to billions of little Chells running around and trying to sabotage her efforts

or hundreds of millions?

I don’t remember what the human population is by HL2

[bronze moat]

I think they were evolving on their own TBH.

One of the hidden achievements is saving a turret who is self aware.

And the super mega queen turret at the end?

They are worshipping it like a diety

[frosty tulip]

Likely not even close to billions tbh

[stone meadow]

definitely not billions

[stone meadow]

i think thats non canon

just a silly little ending

[frosty tulip]

So many would've died during the seven hour war and it's aftermath, the suppression fields preventing all births

Most of the earth is a wasteland too

[mellow birch]

famine and disease too

[stone meadow]

theyre rounding up the scraps of humanity into a bunch of cities

probably not that many left

[frosty tulip]

You also gotta keep in mind how fucked the earth's ecosystem would be. The portal storms teleporting all these alien wildlife, fauna etc

[mellow birch]

ongoing ecological collapse from the oceans being drained and Xen life and shit

[frosty tulip]

So many of earth's wildlife would be gone

[dim hornet]

I’m project zomboiding it rn

[bronze moat]

Prolly just a few million. All the portal storms, etc.

There’s a good fan vid on Youtube that makes some reasonable assumptions.

Cause it was def armageddon level

[frosty tulip]

It also makes even more sense why all these people join the combine as well. Everybody left has survived what is basically an apocalypse. They'd be desperate

[mellow birch]

I could imagine a scenario where an AI decides that trying to enslave and micromanage humanity rather than just firmly keeping them out of the way (like how we would with wildlife in areas where we intend to develop) isn’t worth the effort

[stone meadow]

all because some fucker at black mesa needed his science project to proceed

[mellow birch]

in fact I consider that the most likely outcome compared to enslavement, human extinction, or what have you

[frosty tulip]

Nah it was all caused by Freeman accidentally nuking some poor guys microwave casserole

[stone meadow]

this is the same ai that released a neurotoxin killing the entire facility the second time it got activated

[mellow birch]

yeah, true

[stone meadow]

i think if it cant be bothered to enslave us itd just end us

[mellow birch]

GLaDOS personally isn’t the most fitting AI for my little scenario here

she did decide to let Chell live though

[stone meadow]

wheatley ironically might be. but hes too dumb to beat the combine

[mellow birch]

so she does have the capacity for honor, respect, or some kind of consideration

[stone meadow]

in fact one of the ai cores could prolly work with the humans

[mellow birch]

most of them probably would

[frosty tulip]

I think Paul Blart solos the combine though

Easy

[mellow birch]

his body mass collapses the earth into a black hole

[heavy ivy]

GLaDOS isn't evil for any fucked up reason, she's just evil, in like a garden variety way

[frosty tulip]

The Combine came for his mall

Big mistake

[mellow birch]

mhm

[tacit meadow]

Is glados evil?

[mellow birch]

yes

she is a malicious liar who places no value on human life

[tacit meadow]

All i remember about her " grand master plan" was her being like, kinda bored and liking to just watch what people do

[mellow birch]

you don’t need a master plan to be evil lol

fumbling through it doesn’t mean you’re not a bad dude doing bad shit

[tacit meadow]

I spos ye

[stone meadow]

well she killed everyone on her second activation

[tacit meadow]

True

I didnt know that

[stone meadow]

then just watched humans attempt test chambers and die

[tacit meadow]

Litterally all i know is the litteral face valuebof the test chamber

[stone meadow]

also takes pleasure in human suffering

[twin bear]

Glados mad she got no friends

[tacit meadow]

Where like, again, all she really did was be bored and watch

[frosty tulip]

You're saying Glados isn't allowed to have hobbies? How rude

[stone meadow]

true, i relate to that part

It collapsed on the 6 ton stress test

[tacit meadow]

Whyd u put 5 tonne on it then silly

[twin bear]

More like 10 mins planning

[bronze moat]

Google the Tacoma Narrows bridge

[twin bear]

Has to at least pass 10 tons for the tests we did but who tf is hauling 10 tons

On a bridge that small

[tacit meadow]

I imagine like... most trucks

Id assume they way 5 tonnes at a minimum

[twin bear]

The width better be large or its useless

Yeah they're heavy

[tacit meadow]

So basically what ur saying

Is u took a space that needed a bridge

This is in a software that id prolly like 18 years old now btw

Nope, it was irl

Just crossed over the army checkpoint, crossing into an area that looks like some refugee camp lol

[livid notch]

Okay your near the LV entrance

There is a shitton of zombies

[fathom flax]

wonderful, nothing a few guns CNAT fix.

(I recognize that Loui has an absolute fuckton of zombies and all I can do is attempt to avoid them or die trying)

I need to find a base to settle down there fr

That’s the goal

[livid notch]

Use a molotov or the insane amount of guns you can loot in the military checkpoint

The amount of zombies Is because of a hospital nearby I think

[fathom flax]

I toon notice of all the free ammunition and guns lying around in the checkpoint.

I’m gonna commit arson and see how that goes

I wanna play sprinters but I'm too helpless when there's more than like 5

[neon bramble]

meta builds wont save you from being bad at the game anyway

[neon bramble]

most I can contend with is 4 max but that's super dicey

if you can consistently take down 2 or 3 on your ass you're doing much better than most people

[livid notch]

2 sprinters can nearly stunlock you

[twin bear]

I use fences ALOT

[neon bramble]

you can deal with 3 without fences

just move fast

[twin bear]

That's an issue for my boy john doe

[neon bramble]

it takes time for them to get up, the idea is to spam shoves to turn it into a 2v1 or a 1v1

[twin bear]

I've managed to take down 2 head on but they always grab me for s second

[neon bramble]

preferably standing on the guy you just pushed down but that dosen't always happen

[twin bear]

I shake off most of them

Use the environment

[neon bramble]

just one sprinter isn't a problem, you can always walk away from a single sprinter, assuming no debuffs

[twin bear]

Can take on hordes when there's windows around

[twin bear]

But not anything huge

[polar kernel]

my honest reaction

[neon bramble]

sawed off db is my go-to in sprinter games

the faster follow up is more valuable than capacity

if I'm not out of dodge after 2 blasts I'm already super fucked anyway

[twin bear]

I make firearms and ammo rly rly rare so finding a dam plinker is a god send to me

I usually just depend on my good ol crowbar

[neon bramble]

would rather increase zombie tankiness and sprinter count than reduce gun spawns

This mod takes away one of sprinters biggest weakness

[neon bramble]

lol

grabby zombies + vaulting zombies

sprinter hell mode

[livid notch]

I played with it, absolutely terrifying

Now is this compatible with hive mind

[livid notch]

Hivemind is plain masochoistic

[twin bear]

Can't even make it out of town most of the time

Like literally death

Everytime

[livid notch]

Hivemind with sprinters

[neon bramble]

night only

you get dying light volatiles

[livid notch]

Let the zombies be weak slow shamblers in day and strong tanky sprinters at night

[neon bramble]

that sounds

kinda awesome

[twin bear]

Include spooky screaming too

[neon bramble]

lights out and you have to fight under your own muzzle flashes

[twin bear]

And mist or fog

[neon bramble]

since its hive mind you just dont care about noise anymore

[twin bear]

It's either run or die fighting

And running is also death
