  Start with HL2 on normal difficulty. Then do 2E1 and 2E2 on normal difficulty.

  Then repeat all of that on hard.

  Then you’ll be where I am. Never bothered with 1.

  Lose*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there ever a situation where a doctor can legally refuse to render aid to someone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fetus*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a philosophy prof who said the title depends on the setting. If he were speaking at a conference, it’s Dr. If he was teaching at a school, it’s Professor.

  If you’re in a setting where those titles aren’t relevant, don’t use them.

  Whatever you do, don’t take it to an airport, courthouse or a bank… Oh you’re in Canada. Never mind, you guys don’t have the police looking at kills like a video game score up there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll just keep running my Win 7/Ubuntu dual boot machine tyvm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Latest Windows 11 preview update is causing widespread system crashes and failures⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The event on Tuesday will not be the preview, will it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Latest Windows 11 preview update is causing widespread system crashes and failures⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup I’m a loser for having a job with computers, big-time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Latest Windows 11 preview update is causing widespread system crashes and failures⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So all of the computers at my work, which were switched from W10 to W11 within the last month, might crash on Tuesday? Sick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld isn't just bad for the industry, it's bad for Nintendo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Catch creatures to use” is a broad enough theme that it should be fair use, and has other precedent. For example, it was done in Bomberman Generation. Why didn’t Nintendo sue Konami?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe there’s something you need to get off your chest. Maybe you feel like you’re not being true to yourself.

  If you feel like something needs to change in your relationship, better to put it out there and work through it than keep it hidden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X will let people you’ve blocked see your posts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s better than the alternative. Otherwise they’ll know you’ve blocked them when they compare their feed to your mutual friends’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No more than the cutout for the camera does. Similar construction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  2 is the only one I completed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this a triangle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t matter that the edges are curved?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Republicans are morons

  2. Republicans are anti-intellectual

  3. Using sophisticated language to critique republicans shows them you’re not one of them, and they can write you off as a member of the out-group in their minds

  4. The word weird doesn’t trigger the anti-intellectual alarms, so their defenses don’t shoot up, and they’re left scrambling for a retort, feeling awkward as they are now a member of their own out-group

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" does feel good and isn't satisfying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My most pleasant waking up experiences (in terms of my own body, not who was with me) were when I worked nights, and woke up around 4-4:30 pm.

  On a day shift schedule I often feel too warm when I go to bed, and too cold when I wake up. When I worked nights, the cool mornings and the warm afternoons canceled both of those out and felt great.

  As such, I only needed 6 hrs sleep when I worked nights. Now I feel groggy unless I get 8.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your opionions on fortnite?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The graphical shortcomings might have something to do with there being 100 players in the match at once.

  This chapter/season added jetpacks, which are very fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why 🤷‍♂️ do users 👨‍💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see emojis as text’s substitute for body language. Body language is supposed to supplement the spoken word. Emojis should supplement the paragraph.

  Trying to communicate with more emojis than text is akin to trying to communicate with more body language than spoken word.

  Ever try to say something but forget the word, and you try to convey the meaning with body lamguage instead? Overuse of emojis implies a similar lapse of thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tetris® Forever – Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And still no Half-Life 3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the same game though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Spear of Destiny or Rise of the Triad would have been better picks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Heard of that one a few times

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you join a different instance?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mtgzone asks you to name your favorite Magic card and explain why. So, the AI would need to understand all that, know the name of a Magic card, and say what’s good about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not a good liar but need to pretend I like my current job and not rant about how much I dislike it till I find a job I like more. How do I make my coworkers and supervisors believe this lie?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Performance improvement plan. Documentation showing management was dissatisfied before they fire you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re open to silly casual games, Untitled Goose Game

  Also, I heard Cult of the Lamb was getting a co-op update

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like a flashbang went off in my head, so the only question that I can think of is, "What now?" (Details in body.)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being non-monog myself, my instinct is to tell you to try non-monogamy. But obvs I have no idea how she would react to that suggestion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games popularized certain mechanics?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What did CoD 4 introduce that Halo 3 hadn’t already done 2 months prior?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games popularized certain mechanics?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to talk about “how do I get up there” in a 3d environment, Doom did it before TR.
