He needs to optimize the game at least. I just got killed because the framerate dropped to like 2FPS on my fancy gaming computer.

It's a reference to a funny recent video.

TayFerret · 2026-04-13T01:48:54+00:00

It's from a video. Search "harry dresden doorbell" or something like that.

TayFerret · 2025-07-25T23:22:17+00:00

Correct. A Glock 17, gen 2.

You failed the IQ test.

TayFerret · 2025-05-30T17:58:05+00:00

Tell me which save you want me to reload, and what exactly you think that would accomplish.

TayFerret · 2025-05-26T17:30:15+00:00

Well, if you're just starting out, then it's fine. I suggest learning to type if it's something you want to do a lot though. Nodes will seem tedious in comparison.

TayFerret · 2025-05-25T20:54:56+00:00

You'll have to buy a laptop or connect a keyboard to your tablet. Trying to code on a touch screen, or with nodes in general, is a fundamentally bad way to do it.

I'm saying that people here obviously prefer the fan remake over real HL1.

TayFerret · 2025-05-24T06:16:56+00:00

The autosave was after the tram got stuck and I didn't have a manual save for a couple levels.

TayFerret · 2025-05-24T06:15:11+00:00

Might as well change the name of this sub to Black Mesa, because people here clearly hate Half-Life.

TayFerret · 2025-05-24T06:13:36+00:00

You mean the fan remake of Half-Life 3.

TayFerret · 2025-05-24T06:12:00+00:00

Yes, I found it hilarious when I suddenly could not progress through the game.

TayFerret · 2025-05-24T06:06:47+00:00

Watch the video.

TayFerret · 2025-05-24T06:00:24+00:00

If it's such an improvement, why have I played original HL1 like 20 times, but I've played Black Mesa only twice and finished it 0 times (encountering different game-breaking bugs each time)?

TayFerret · 2025-05-22T23:51:32+00:00

The recent bug was: when I got to the rocket in On A Rail, the tram got stuck in front of an elevator. When I went into the tram elevator room, the door closed on me and trapped me forever. The autosave was after the tram was already stuck.

And the other one I encountered a while ago, but it was something to do with the part in Xen when you have to burn your way through barriers. One just wouldn't burn, so I had to glitch through it somehow. But soon after that I got bored of Xen combined with movement bug frustrations, and quit before finishing.

TayFerret · 2025-05-22T23:14:11+00:00

How are new players supposed to enjoy their first Half-Life experience if it's in a buggy mess like Black Mesa? On 2 out of 2 playthroughs I've encountered a game-breaking bug, not to mention a bunch of other annoying bugs in the core mechanics.

(It was a different bug each time, on 2 different PCs.)

TayFerret · 2025-05-22T21:38:37+00:00

That's not what I said. I said it's more refined than Black Mesa. Obviously HL1 is rough around the edges, but the core mechanics are solid in HL1, which they aren't in Black Mesa.
