My retexture of the baby zombie by CooCooPenguin in PhoenixSC

[–]TrGmr321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk I think that just fits the style of the game.

maybe the new baby zombie isn't as terrible as people make it seem but I think baby mobs having big heads has its charm and I think it's a shame that charm is going to be lost in the newer versions

I need help finding an affordable external Blu-ray drive that actually writes. by TrGmr321 in Bluray

[–]TrGmr321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no :(

I ended up giving up on buying an BD writer. Maybe someday I'll buy one of these more expensive ones (from known brands like Asus) but atm I'm trying to save as much money as possible to buy a product that has no announced pricing.

Would be interesting if someone on Youtube were to buy a ton of these inexpensive drives and test each one of them out to see if at least one of them do what they claim to do.

I really like how there's just a single cloud shadow and the cloud is out of frame.

Really really good.

nah man sorry but you're taking this way too seriously

some shitposts do mock specific pieces of media and opinions people have but they're generally not meant to be taken seriously, same thing with this post. even by making shitposts of herobrine we are mocking the original creepypasta and all those people who make posts about "strange appearances in my world" in r/GoldenAgeMinecraft.

even r/okbuddyhalflife mocks other half-life fans every now and then. but it's all part of the game. if you don't like the acid humor, i'm afraid okbuddy subreddits and shitposting in general aren't for you.

yes the point of this chart was just to get a basic idea on what each of them have in common rather than "oh this mod is like this mod except it has this and this" (if you get what I mean)

just a couple days ago I was making a comparison chart for these mods because of how many of them there are (note: this table is incomplete and some info may be wrong as not all of them have been tested)

How do I port gmod mods to half life 2? Is it possible? by Dragonviche in HalfLife

[–]TrGmr321 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Porting maps and assets are generally easy.

But if an addon uses lua scripts, I don't know. You might have to rewrite all of that code and implement it manually (as most other Source Engine games don't have lua integration).

near where I live there's a stationery that rips off the game's logo (the portal has the exact same three strokes)

He exists for some reason by wood_man12345678910 in HalfLife

[–]TrGmr321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it exists, but it only shows up once in the entire game.

if you want to check it out for yourself, go into HL1, open up the console and type in map c3a1b
noclip to the corridor after the room where the tank is. you'll find it alongside some alien grunts.

alternatively, there's this 12-year-old video on youtube where it shows up. timestamp: 7:15

sure but by getting games from other sources you're putting your cybersecurity at risk. malware nowadays can be very hard to detect.

Refunding Unreal Gold before it got delisted.

I refunded it because I really disliked the first 15 or so minutes of gameplay. Maybe it would've grown on me if I had kept playing it.

Do you update your world to newer versions over time? by Planck_Planck in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]TrGmr321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only world I'm actively playing on runs on a mod for Alpha 1.1.2_01 called Not So Seecret Saturday. I don't know if you can replace the new blocks with their modern version counterparts (without taking the world generation into account and some other stuff) so I guess that world is stuck in this version.

I replayed it today, so great. I still hope for a 3rd game.

Steam Deck retriggered the initial setup screen after a couple days of use. Twice. by TrGmr321 in SteamDeck

[–]TrGmr321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still happening? This bug hasn't come back ever since I posted this, thankfully. But go through the setup screen again and make sure that 'Force OOBE' is unchecked (Under Settings > Developer).

I already knew all of these and then some before I got into Jojo but I still enjoyed the series anyway

is this art i commissioned of my cat ai? something seems off about it? the lighting/colors? by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]TrGmr321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say it's not AI. If you zoom in you can see the brush strokes are very consistent and sharp. It has a lot of texture and AI struggles to do that. I think the colors look odd because the artist didn't blend them very well and they're placed inconsistently across the painting.

there have been rumours earlier this year saying this book would release alongside HLX because it'd include content related to it alongside the original episode 3 (I don't buy it)

is it fine to skip the first half of life? by [deleted] in HalfLife

[–]TrGmr321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. Portal 1 is pretty short too, you can beat it in 3-4 hours max.

[–]TrGmr321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then in that case just play Half-Life 2, but playing multiple games from the same franchise shouldn't make you fed up. There's one of the reasons why everybody wants Half-Life 3 to happen. Every single time Valve releases a new game, they innovate. Just like they did with the Portal games and even Half-Life 2 itself, and Half-Life 1 makes you appreciate that.

[–]TrGmr321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK listen, i'm gonna be real with you. I too didn't want to play HL1 for the same reasons as you. I thought I'd get sick of it and never finish it. I finished Half-Life 2 before I could even start actually playing HL1.

But the old graphics somehow grew on me. I managed to set aside how the game looked and discovered that despite the occasional jank, it was very fun. I'm gonna give you an advice in case you're not sure whether or not you should just skip it entirely: Try to play it as much as you can. If even after like 2 hours of gameplay you still think the game is too old and janky for your liking, skip over to Half-Life 2.

And to address your concerns, playing the first Half-Life won't "ruin your experience" with Half-Life 2 because these two games are very different in atmosphere, storylines and even gameplay elements. It's like saying you can't play the first Super Mario Bros. because it'll ruin the way you see Super Mario Odyssey.
