Video games are my passion. Valve's games, especially. I used to host The Secret Shop Podcast for their TCG, Artifact. Currently contributing in building up the Deadlock community.

Steam Controller + Steam Input
is the peak of customizability.

The time and date of the achievement is the real achievement :)

Nah. It may still take time to reach a pricepoint that the mainstream can afford. But VR is absolutely a value-add. HL Alyx is incredible. It makes you FEEL shit.

Cute as hell!

I do not engage with these "proofs", I am merely saying that HL3 IS in development and will likely be announced fairly soon. I do not buy into the shadow-drop stuff, tho. Game Awards are still a decent chance this time around but if they decide it is not ready, they'll delay the reveals like Alyx's.

I just watched some let's players react to the final level and ending of HL: Alyx. I get that the game's reach was limited due to the tech required to play but GOD DAMN that is a masterpiece. I genuinely think people will come back to it when VR is more accessible and be mind-blown 10 years later.

Ya'll said the same thing about HLVR and then the Alyx trailer dropped "out of nowhere".

Deadlock will not reach 1.0 for another year. Open Beta is possible next year. But there is SO much work yet to be done. In two years of testing, they have not even begun working on the jungle which is 50% of moment-to-moment gameplay, let's not kid ourselves.

If you got any questions, let me know. The game was updated in major ways so many times, you are basically playing Dota 5

Do whatever makes you happy, beauty standards are bullshit 100%

But I think there is an unhealthy dichotomy here. I started using an app for calorie-counting half a year ago and I finally lost weight. You can still have your treats and big meals! You just learn to plan the other meals better.

As a European, I never understood the concept/effect of endorsements in America. Who are the voters waiting for Hakeem to say "Vote for Mamdani"? Whenever there is news-coverage and they say "Politician X has not endorsed Y" I'm like...what does that have to do with voters? What "boost" is given?

Solo-queueing a MOBA and streaming it is a rite of passage.

Article from 2018. They have since shipped CS2 and Half Life Alyx. Also, Artifact and Underlords.

Also, keep the AI slop to yourself

That's weakness cosplaying as resolve.

Sure, buddy. I am sure this time you got him.

Nope, people are making stuff up. Dude is literally an animal rights activist. You can see the claw of the dog getting stuck in the fabric of the bed in the video. Just pulled her claw a little. He went over to check on her and give her bellyrubs after.

You can see her claw getting stuck in the video, don't make stuff up
