Visualizing it like this makes it so clear how incredibly outdated this design is.

I remember the hype around the division, it looked so cool and tactical. Then the game came out and every enemy was a bullet sponge. Instantly killed any interest I had in it.
In telegram nothing is e2e encrypted unless you specifically ask it to be and when you do, it kills all the functionality that makes it better than others.
I grew up and decided that games have a place in my life to give experiences, you grew up and decided that they are a source of burst distractions. I guess age has nothing to do with it and it’s just about personal preference.
The title promises so much, but OP’s dog ate the homework and there’s barely anything he can show us.
Since they are probably working on other stuff as well could this mean that Icefrog is the only lead who can take a project to completion reliably within Valve’s organizational structure?
Inject this hopium into my veins.
They could just be one moba, one hero shooter and one last man standing, all online and all competitive.
Well, I guess your are right that everything is derivative. I also think some things are more alike than others and also some markets are more saturated than others. When Half-Life came out it was in a saturated market of FPSs but it also revolutionized the market. When Portal came out no one could compare it to anything other that a student project. Half-Life Alyx is still considered the no 1 most polished and complete game in the VR space. We’ll see the impact that Deadlock will have I guess.
I percieve them as different to your run of the mill EA or Ubisoft, so I expect more from them. That’s on me I guess. I’m not angry though, just disappointed.
The point stands that it’s derivative. I’m convinced Valve can do better.
I literally swatted a mosquito the other day because it bit me while I was doing something else. I didn’t feel it land, but I did feel the bite which triggered me to slap it out of existence.
That would mean when they bite you during the night when they can take their sweet time, you would wake up with no itchiness, but that’s not the case for me.
Yeah exactly. No wonder people use tiktok to look up stuff these days. At least there you have actual humans sharing their knowledge.
That’s the point I’m reaching as well. The internet as a mass of disconnected sites feels dead. Any attempt to look up information goes to pages that follow the same formula and feel very AI generated even with errors and unconsistencies typical for AI. What is the point of the open net anymore? The only value I feel like I’m getting is in specific trusted platforms or sites. It’s a sad state that we’ve reached.
Kagi has all these options as well but everything can be disabled in the settings.
Hope to see another single player experience from Valve, doesn’t matter if it’s HL or something else, just don’t make it multiplayer focused.
They have all the talent, budget and time they would ever need. No amount of hype will ever detract from a good game. Hell even cyberpunk managed to stay afloat after a disastrous launch and will be remembered positively by people that played the patched versions. I don’t believe the hype thing either.
I’ve heard the explanation that they’re not working on the half life series because they want to have bigger leaps in innovation, but then they work on a moba/hero shooter.
What is that magic number?
The current era internet is full of web pages that can be salvaged with reader mode. It is an essential tool for my everyday browsing habits.
