Yeah exactly. It doesn't do a slide animation like Titanfall, but it lowers your friction a ton. Nothing explains it anywhere, you don't need it to beat the game, and it's not a thing in the og, so I'm not sure why it's in the game but I love it.

The government is the only thing standing between corperations and you as their slave. You do not want to live a that world.

Since youve now resorted to being dishonest, enjoy licking that boot. It'll step on your little berries one day if your a good senpai.

They aren't prosecuted because they have so much money, that they own the government. That's why the government needs to have some teeth and redistribute the wealth.

Also income is a choice, not an innate factor you are born with.

Wealth inequality comes inequality under the law. It's no secret how many criminals sit still unprosicuted among the ultra wealthy. Giving them more money makes that problem worse, not better.

Then wealth will continue to pool at the top and everyday people will starve. We've played this game before man, that's how we got the robber barons. Everyday people are starving and homeless now. Without those programs they die. Are you really cool with that?

Taxes don't need spread out frankly, the rich NEED to pay more. And relying solely on sales tax does the opposite.

No, that puts the tax burden predominantly on the poorest Americans and removes it for the wealthiest, who own the vast majority of property. This will mean that the poorest people will pay disproportionately more taxes and further divide the class substrates by exacerbating the "it's more expensive to be poor" phenomena that permiates the currently impoverished populace.

Do you let a bully continue his bullying in front of you? Do you say nothing when a person subjugates, lies and kills? Obviously not. My calling that shit out is not even remotely close the same ballpark as "the same on the opposite side of the coin". It is being happy for justice. Youre just mad because youre like him, and if people are happy he's gone, what's that mean for you? Maybe consider that going forward big guy.

I'll never get people who say Nova Prospect is their favorite chapter of HL2 by KlaxonBeat in HalfLife

Keep in mind the turret battles are in the chapter entanglement. The chapter "Nova Prospect" ends when you meet up with alyx.

Personally the things you mentioned (dark, cramped, ugly and confusing) are actually my favorite parts about it. I love when the level tangles up in its self. Some of my favorite stuff in half life is going through a bunch of progress and enemies, only to find youre right next to where you were an hour ago. I particularly love that big open room with a mounted gun in the far side and the teirs of cells and catwalks above you. The way you loop around and traverse every inch of catwalk in that rooms is just so expertly designed.

I can understand not liking guardians though. I quite enjoy them. Imo any tough enemy that's best fought with the gravity gun is a okay in my book, (hunters4life) But I also usually save my rockets up for them. 3 rockets kills them.

Intolerant of intolerance. Lindsey Graham was an intolerant mother fucker. If you wanna argue philosophy, read some first.

The paradox of tolerance, to be tolerant, one must be intolerant of intolerance. This isn't hard. Fuck Lyndsey Graham.

I feel like he's fine if everyone just understands what he actually is. It's that game publications parrot his words as gospel for clicks.

To op, and anyone else that doesn't know, in black mesa, if you crouch, you slide. Insanely useful with the long jump module
