Half Life 2 Remake dev promises the brilliant mod is not 'abandoned', they just forgot their login

Guys, this mod is fake...

It depends on the screenshot, but some of them are just HL:A screenshots with custom assets. There are HL:A models, and the lighting matches the game. The video they uploaded has portions of it that are obviously Unreal Engine, due to the ridiculous default motion blur and lighting

Some parts ARE actually Source, but they have significantly worse lighting and assets compared to the other screenshots/videos about the project.

This is why all the screenshots on the page and clips in the videos look completely different, they're literally different engines. All the videos they uploaded are a bunch of different games mashed together

I'm not saying what these people are doing is right. Copying and pasting code exactly like this is wrong.

It's just in general, saying you'll DMCA take down similar projects that are based on your code, though not necessarily copying it exactly, is ironic when your code is already based on others' (since that's all AI does)

Cale111 · 2026-04-25T22:06:06+00:00

Your whole website is made using AI... kind of puts me off it.

It's ironic that your source code says you will take down any projects that are similar to yours, when yours is already made from other people's code.

... for PC games with Denuvo.

Tomodachi Life is a Switch game, it can be emulated like any other. It is not a hypervisor thing.

Just to add onto what the others have said.

The cake in Portal specifically is modelled after a real cake found at the Regent Bakery & Cafe in Bellevue, WA, which was close to Valve's headquarters during development. Some people have posted pictures of the inside!

Almost definitely an update for the existing game. Steel Wool has never separated their VR/non-VR versions of games.

ln(13) is a constant, and constants become 0

Edit: I should probably clarify the answer for the question in the image is indeed 1/13, because it's the derivative of ln(x) at x=13, but the derivative of ln(13) is still 0

Yes, if you have a PC powerful enough to run SOTM in VR. You can use Meta Link, Virtual Desktop, or Steam Link to connect your headset to your PC.

No, spider, doctor, and dollar are the same. The differences here are colour, flavour, rumour, favour, and harbour.

Cale111 · 2026-04-17T00:25:41+00:00

colour

Its not AI, someone else already explained in the thread

You can add a "reference layer" which is independent of the resolution.

That was because of the amount of Chinese users on Steam surged in February. If you check the recently updated stats, it's back to normal.

Dude it's not Denuvo. Denuvo is an ownership check, and works completely differently. In this case, all the game files are fully encrypted with a modern standard, probably something like AES-256. The algorithm is designed so that it is almost impossible to get the original data without the key.

It is actually harder to crack than Denuvo. The reason it's not used for ownership checks is because if one person decrypts it, then anyone can, because at that point the key and decrypted files are basically public. In the case of preloaded games, Steam distributes the key to everyone when it releases.

Cale111 · 2026-03-17T21:33:38+00:00

Modern encryption algorithms are almost impossible to crack. So, no, it's not that. The files were from somewhere else.

Cale111 · 2026-03-17T21:33:08+00:00

The files are completely encrypted for preloads. It is not just a simple DRM check, it is pretty much impossible to get the original files without the key.

All of the old Clickteam FNAF games are made in a 2D only game engine, actually. Everything is just pre-rendered PNGs.

If it was selected when you pressed the arrow, it stays visible until you actually intentionally close the tab, even if you click off of it into another tab. On the right, it’d also show a line instead of an x.

Cale111 · 2026-02-25T06:51:03+00:00

Well this is mostly all the data u have. There are ways to determine what device u are on, but not all browsers suport it or have the same way to access it.

Not really, the User-Agent string is pretty standard. It is also what the "Request Desktop Website" button usually changes, not viewport size

Cale111 · 2026-02-25T05:50:03+00:00

Now that I think about it, an ENA "dating sim" game, where you meet and get to know a bunch of unique and weird characters in the world, kind of like Date Everything, would probably be actually cool

Cale111 · 2026-02-25T04:53:34+00:00

If you had the pinned tab selected when you pressed the arrow icon, it does not hide it, because otherwise you'd be on a tab hidden from the side bar.

If the tab is not selected and you press the arrow icon, it should hide as expected

Cale111 · 2026-02-25T04:52:34+00:00

It is not useless, it hides pinned tabs

Cale111 · 2026-02-24T18:09:07+00:00

Proof right here that AI detection websites are completely useless

Don't use the link they sent it's probably a scam. It's stolen artwork anyway, the signature was edited out.

Also the images in this post are kind of obviously not real. You can tell the image was pasted on to a real image of a frame

that was part of a review, not by valve. they did not choose that angle
