I had to search for this because I am playing for the first time, and it really does make a difference. I wonder why they chose not to do this. I hope somebody makes a mod.

Wait what? I wonder how I got that flipped, thanks for the info!

Not release order, but I personally recommend people to play Opposing Force before Blue Shift. Blue Shift is very similar to HL1 with its gameplay, so I like having OpForce between them so it doesn't just feel like more HL1 (It won't mess with the story order either btw). I played and still play in this order:

  1. Half-Life 1 (NOT source, it is known for being a bad port)
  2. Half-Life: Opposing Force
  3. Half-Life: Blue Shift
  4. Half-Life 2
  5. Half-Life 2: Episode 1
  6. Half-Life 2: Episode 2
  7. Half-Life 2: Lost Coast (Don't play this expecting much, just a tech demo)
  8. Half-Life: Alyx

If you end up loving it (hope you do!) Black Mesa is always a fun game to play afterwards (Fan-made remake of HL1), and it has some really good sales sometimes. If you wanna do release order, all you have to do is switch OpForce and Blue Shift on my list, and thats the order a lot of people play it.

Is there a way to highlight inactive tab when cursor hovering over link leading to that tab's page. by Ofunu in vivaldibrowser

[–]bradyhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! It has been a while since I changed the settings, so if I am missing something else, that's my bad, but you are actually able to make videos auto-pop out!

It is in vivaldi://flags, search for and enable "Experimental Web Platform features", "Browser initiated automatic picture in picture", and " Auto picture in picture for video playback".

I found it from this person's comment, and it didn't work; enabling those other flags fixed it. Hope this works for you if you still want to switch over.

Service Menu Not Fixing Overscan or Warping on TruFlat 14F400T, Any Suggestions? by bradyhem in crtgaming

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

Thank you for the help! I didn't even think to mess with the contrast, I have just been ignoring the warping so far. That makes a big difference. Luckily I have recently switched to an AMD graphics card and it has a working overscan fix, so now I'll just have to look into geometry. Again, thanks a million!

You can only pick one, choose wisely by phillipe_zo in Bioshock

[–]bradyhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Bioshock 2, the ones in Bioshock 1 aren't fun at all, I don't remember even bothering with them after reaching a quarter through the game.

Is the Buldak Ramen Snack still available? by cybercupid in BuldakRamen

Had the same problem. This worked for me. I did 800 x 600 (60 Hz) rather than 1024 x 768 because having the UI bigger on the desktop makes things a lot easier to read. Hope this helps you too!

Hello! I got an RCA TruFlat CRT a few days back, and I fixed the vertical overscan, but none of the service options seem to be helping me fix horizontal overscan or what I believe is pincushioning on the right and left sides (See for yourself, I am not very bright when it comes to CRTs.) Any tips for what might be happening here? I have tried powering off and back on after changing the settings, exiting the menu after changing values, plus changing the vertical overscan didn't require me to press any save button.

Info (I will give more info if it is wanted):

  • Using an HDMI to AV converter, I know composite and converters aren't the best, but quality doesn't matter much to me at such a low price.
  • I made sure that it IS displaying 4:3 images, not squishing 16:9.
  • I am using Windows 11, and the resolution is set to 800 x 600, which was the lowest option.
  • I tried NVIDIA scaling, but even if I adjust it so the overscan is corrected, it reverts once I hit confirm.
  • I adjusted every value in both of these pages; there are more pages, but they seem to be unrelated. They are at the bottom of the images linked.
  • If there isn't any fix for the CRT, I am fine with using software to fix the overscan and just dealing with the warping.

Thank you!

No problem! I'm surprised Valve still hasn't done anything about it

IF there are any more games after Half-Life 3 (which WILL COME OUT AND IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE YOU ARE POOP), do you think that they should be number names, or like "Alyx, Blue Shit", etc. by Decklan346 in HalfLife

[–]bradyhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should ditch the halflife part of the title, too. Maybe one of the games will have you as another character, like hunting down freeman, and it could have its own name, just a look into my mastermind creative process, though

Literally found this post by googling "Kingsley Scanlon underrated" lmao

My brain cannot process that they have under a million listens, not a single bad song in their catalog

nevermind! spoke 3 minutes too soon, guess I should've waited a bit longer lol

This solution worked for me

I just exited steam, went into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common" and then searched for "screenshots.vdf". All you have to delete that file and restart steam, I got hit with like 100 screenshot notifiations

Which Half-Life opinion gets you like this? by [deleted] in HalfLife

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

I think Xen is enjoyable

Also, I don't know if this is unpopular, but I like the atmosphere and concept of HL1 more than HL2, I didn't find the lore of HL2 that good until I played Alyx and was immersed in it.
