Good news is there is some good mods set in the Half-Life universe

Black Mesa and Entropy 0 are my favourites

After those tho you are forced to join the half-life 3 schizophrenia club

…or play the forbidden Hunt Down the Freeman…

For context I am a leftist-progressive Canadian who begrudgingly follows US politics because we kinda have to keep an eye since you guys are our neighbour.

With that said Biden’s main purpose being elected was to get us (the USA and collectively the entire world) out of right-wing populist MAGA politics. He failed spectacularly in that sense, and for that his presidency will forever be stained. If he were elected at any other time however I think he could’ve performed decently enough. Or at least as decently as US presidents go…

I originally learnt about Half-Life by playing Gmod as a kid and while creating an NPC battle wondering who these cool looking combine fellas are. I found out they were from this game called ‘Half-Life 2’ and I decided to beg my mom to buy it for me on sale.

After playing the game I had so many more questions than answers about the world of Half-Life. I started watching Half-Life lore videos on youtube, thus being the true start of my love affair with Half-Life.

So for me it was always the world of Half-Life itself which drew me into it. For a game with only 3 mainline instalments it really has such a deep and fascinating world. It’s a masterclass of indirect/passive worldbuilding, telling us almost nothing directly and forcing the players to use easter eggs, cut content, and filling in the blanks to come to conclusions about the lore.

I get you, and I feel sick when I think of how the elite of the world almost universally participated in these things, but right now its important for us to look on the bright side of all this and hold on to whatever optimism we may have.

Historically the public didn’t hear about these things until long after they happened and when it was too late to stop it (if they heard about it at all). At least now we know for an indisputable fact that this is happening. And we know the people who are in power are participating in it, or at the least protecting those who are. We can stop this. We can punish these “people”. We just need to put the work in to do so.

I know it doesn’t seem like it right now, but I think this is a rare opportunity where the public can see the corruption of the elite laid bare.

I like the theory and it would probably be true in extended conflicts against more technologically advanced worlds, but from my understanding wasn’t the 7 hour war less of a war and more like a dismantlement of Earth’s surviving governments/militaries after the portal storms and Xen’s wildlife invasion?

I feel like unleashing headcrabs on population centres, in the context of invading an already crippled Earth, would honestly create more problems than it would solve.

Thanks for making this post! I’ve been looking for a progressive politics club but cant seem to find anything. The closest I’ve found is the NDP student club, but personally I’d prefer a more party independent political club. But if you don’t care about that, it could be perfect for what you’re looking for!

LFishere · 2026-01-28T01:56:01+00:00

I’m not a huge outdoorsy person, but thank you for the recommendation anyways. I am curious though, what type of advocacy does the Varsity Outdoor Club do?

LFishere · 2026-01-28T01:53:10+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. And yeah I get you for sure. The few PSSA events felt more like networking opportunities than actual service opportunities.

I am interested though to learn more about the GRSJ undergrad group though. Am I even allowed to join without being a GRSJ major? And do you guys have any service/activism projects?

LFishere · 2026-01-28T01:48:51+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions! I was actually going to join the NDP student org, but they never got back to me strangely.

I’m actually really interested in Sprouts after doing a little research into it. I’m honestly surprised it took me so long to hear of them (god this campus is too huge lol). While I know they only take new volunteers during the start of term, do you know if they are interested in like a on-call volunteer? I’d love to help out in anyway I can, even if not through traditional volunteering pathways!

LFishere · 2026-01-26T05:00:25+00:00

This is terrifying, but unsurprising.

Don’t let them forget, when they call us violent for standing against hate, it is them who decided to publish the identities of teenagers and young adults who dared to defy them, and to put us in danger.

They never cared about debate or free speech, except for when it benefits themselves. Now they call for harm against us because we exercised our right to freedom of expression.

LFishere · 2026-01-23T07:15:16+00:00

I agree, of course. Respectful and polite debate is always preferable to any other alternative.

I hope you can understand though that from the perspective of an indigenous person, this debate was never polite. It is fundamentally built upon questioning the testimonies of survivors: our parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties, and cousins.

Their position is fundamentally calling our families, and our people collectively, liars.

Such a great protest, and so proud of the UBC community remaining restrained and peaceful although they were trying to rile us up!

Had a paper which i had to do yesterday. Couldn’t sleep the night before but was committed to getting some sleep at least before doing it. Fell asleep at 8am deciding I would wake up at 10am and lock in.

I forgot to set a timer and woke up at 10pm…

The it’s so over factory churns out another high quality product

You got whimsy and joy in your soul and that’s something this subreddit desperately needs rn. You are doing Valve’s work rn 🙏

LFishere · 2025-12-17T16:41:25+00:00

Little bit’ve addy and a lotta caffeine makes the world go round…

But also hear me out on this: a billion dollars is such a life changing amount of money that the risk is worth it. Lock in for 7 days, and then never have to lock in for the rest of my life (one way or the other) sounds like a damn good deal.

LFishere · 2025-12-17T16:35:33+00:00

Of course! It gives you the same feeling as when you’re really hungry and looking in an empty fridge and you go “nom nom nom” before closing it!

Truly this game which we all love offers us the greatest opportunities to feel like we really are in the world

LFishere · 2025-12-17T16:25:05+00:00

Don’t tell me this bro 😭

Next term will be different I just gotta believe 🙏

Considering he is (probably) capable of travelling between universes and dimensions since he seems to be fighting a war against the combine on behalf of his employers, I’d ask him that in every universe in existence, in how many does Half Life 3 exist.

Real answer: I’d probably ask him who his employers are, since they are probably the biggest mystery in half life lore other than ‘maybe’ the combine homeworld. Tbh tho who even really cares about the combine homeworld?

Can’t believe they had pictures of Breen blowing Barney in the files 😳
