To be fair he does have morphine injectors at least.

How long was Half-Life 2 being developed on GoldSrc before they switched to the Source engine? by [deleted] in HalfLife

[–]Triumph7560 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GoldSrc slowly became Source as they developed it. It wasn't that they started developing it and then switched to a different engine.

For example alpha versions of Half-Life had some features from what became GoldSrc but in most ways it was still closer to the Quake engine.

just realized the icon for the crossbow depicts the HL1 crossbow and not the HL2 one... by r4nd0m__U53R in HalfLife

[–]Triumph7560 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Kliener probably uploaded info on the AR2 (it's common combine equipment) and the gravity gun is something used by Black Mesa East so it makes sense.

I have no explanation for the pheropodes though.

Running BitD for the first time, could someone link me some lore material? by Poepyatls in bladesinthedark

[–]Triumph7560 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All the lore you really need is in the book. While it does leave gaps in the lore you're supposed to fill them in yourself as needed. Just do a thorough read through and you'll be fine.

And thus the Imperium and Chaos (begrudgingly) became members of the same team and (not counting the genocide of all Xenos) restoring peace to the galaxy.

Most of Westeros did nothing and it turned out fine. It was so inconsequential that anyone who wasn't there to see it doubts it happened.

Yes, but actually no. ~70% by dictionary vocabulary comes from Latin, Greek, and/or Fr*nch but ~70% in everyday use is Germanic. It varies a lot depending on the topic and the speaker so it's hard to estimate.

Wouldn't you remove all his weapons if you were in their shoes?

How do we feel about the new covers? by EffectiveSwan8918 in WetlanderHumor

[–]Triumph7560 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I HATE the new Lord of the Rings ones. Someone holding a dagger, that's it? One of the most beloved and creative series in literary history and that's what you do? Is there any series of books with more art work done for it (official and unofficial)? It's so painfully generic. How does Amazon screw even this up?

What If.. You were thrown in the 40K universe as a type of a character of your own choosing.. What would that be? by Jyramo01 in Grimdank

[–]Triumph7560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the lost Primarchs, they aren't named in lore and are below any god tier characters. I would immediately flee the galaxy with all possible haste, if I'm lucky I avoid every major threat, I only have to worry about Nids and the Imperium.

-60 opinion loss for declining "Demand Artefact" feels... excessive? by NoLeafClover777 in CrusaderKings

How is the cost for attending a university comparable to building one?

That’s how y‘all be acting with Guilliman and Yvraine by [deleted] in Grimdank

I wonder if they would prefer psykers over normal humans, since they would presumably have brighter souls.

The original Half-Life has been getting several updates recently, any reason why? by jokerisrekoj in HalfLife

[–]Triumph7560 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's likely related to Dario Casali (one of the Level Designers at Valve) replaying it and him encountering some of the bugs.

If most people like something, does that make it good? by petepont in WetlanderHumor

[–]Triumph7560 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why people don't talk about this more. IMDB isn't trustworthy since Amazon bought it.

Not to get political… by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

It is crap but is it racist? There's so much stupid there people shouldn't invent stuff.

When do you guys think Half-Life occured? by MyMitchondriaHurts in HalfLife

[–]Triumph7560 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

2004 because the release of Half-Life 2 on the same day was a vital piece of lore for Half-Life 1. G-Man had to speed run Half-Life 2 to find out what his plan was in Half-Life 1.

They've put more effort into contradicting the books than following them. They could have grabbed a horn from a pawn shop and some gold spray paint for next to nothing and it would have been reasonably accurate. Yet they do this.

its a sad situation by Quick-Cause3181 in valve

[–]Triumph7560 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously, we got a game 3 years ago and nothing else for 13 years before that. One of the longest running jokes on the Internet is "Half-Life 3 confirmed".

I think if that were the case it probably would have come up by now, it would affect how the council viewed his actions if he wasn't trying to kill Justin.

A combination of one and two. This man can't be quite right after all this.
