  That’s the difference; does the mod allow interaction with the world like Alyx, or is it just you’re there, but still using basic 2D controls to manipulate shit (press E to use a door instead of grabbing the handle and pushing/pulling)?

  It doesn’t necessarily have to be open world as is currently used these days. The OG Doom isn’t exactly linear, but also isn’t open world in any sense. Remove the loading times between levels and it would be open world in the way that term was originally used.

  It just works like the way Skyrim VR just works or will it make HL2 the same kind of experience as HL: Alyx?

  I’m not sure if people looking for something laid out like Twitter or other microblogging sites would necessarily move to Lemmy, which is more like a forum. The activities on any social media may be largely the same, but presentation matters a lot.

  If they appeared with guns, wouldn’t the robodogs also be strapped?

  Swap Uncle Tom for Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks.

  Is is the theory that little, invisible gremlins are just constantly pulling things down? 🤔

  All the Disney games were tight. Aladdin, Lion King, Mickey’s Magical Quest, etc.

  We had a name before the pandemic… It’s “introvert.”

  Linear, set-piece story-telling.

  Copping out of an obligation?

  Dude, not finishing the story and leaving us all on a cliffhanger for seventeen fucking years and then giving this as an excuse is the real cop out.

  I’d definitely watch Tyson take on all 3 of the Beastie Boys. Especially if the Boys dressed up in their Sabotage costumes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I think email is basically a joke these days. It’s 99.9% spam. Almost everything I actually want in there are automated account confirmations, which don’t have to even come via email. Even in the few professional situations I’ve had a work email, it was almost never used.

  Like, I feel the same way about email now that we all felt about snail mail with the invention of email.

  If people moving from one corpo owned platform to another corpo owned platform gives you hope for the future of the internet: You haven’t been paying attention to the history of the internet at all.

  I’ve seen some pretty awesome prosthetics that are controlled the same way you would use your limbs before they were lost by connecting to nerves; but they still don’t feel anything. At least, not in the sense that the appendage itself is sending signals to your brain for it. There is still phantom sense/pain. You can get a false sense of touch in VR, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I probably just remember EP2 only because it was released then and how I got it. I already had HL2 and ep1 at the time.

  Inorganic women. Hell yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what can I use to cushion my knee when exercising with it on the floor so it doesn't hurt?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I just use my pillow or maybe a folded towel if I have to get on my knees for an extended period.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not unless they had some special bundle for HL2 I can’t remember.

  Ep1 had to be purchased. Ep2 came with The Orange Box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Hl1 and hl2 are not really connected plotwise and can be enjoyed separately. There’s some small references and a couple characters you wouldn’t necessarily even know if you played HL1, because HL1 didn’t have much of a focus on that kind of story-telling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Thread] Mental Math⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The second thing about microslippage is why I, even though I would say I’m transhumanist, would only ever go full cyborg if the robot parts had a sense of touch.

  I don’t wanna pet my dog and not only not feel their fur, but also end up crushing them with my super strength.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA President term limits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You can only serve 2 terms. Period. Doesn’t matter if there is a gap between the terms. He served one. This is his last time, unless he does exactly what he plans to and eliminates elections to become SUPREME OVERLORD OF AMERICA.

  The snap must take intention into account, like a genie, and not the literal wording of the wish, like a monkey’s paw, because otherwise everyone in the universe would have just been cut in half.

  Of course there is imaginary fucking. What do you think people do when they jerk off?
