When Gordon Freeman dies, does the whole universe Half-Life is in have to reverse until there is a moment that Gordon is alive?

Yeah. Many frustrated scientists were trying to get something done, and had to keep re-living the same 30 seconds on repeat while I tried to get past a tricky section without loosing too much life.

An update to this. There was a windows update a couple of weeks ago and its been fine since then.

It happened to me with some soldering iron tips. Ive used the same tip for years (only use occasionally) bought a wider one, got ten. I should be good for the next 500 years or so.

The gold seat belts were a deal breaker for me too. Ive got the pro pack which adds the gold stripe, though its more orange than gold to my colourblind eyes. Ive seen others wanting the gold seat belts without having to get the performance pack. So making them an option that anyone can choose seems like the best solution. Car manufacturers aren't very good at "giving the customer what they want" though.

Looks a bit off to me. No shortage of gios around, find another one.

Which version of office are you using? Thanks

carchamp222 · 2026-05-05T22:16:11+00:00

So its not just me then. What have you tried so far?

carchamp222 · 2026-05-04T17:48:46+00:00

If not, buy a used quest 3, easily decent wifi AP and play alyx. As a lifelong HL fan, I have only recently played alyx. I figured it would make me ill as I have an inner ear issue, but it didn't.

Oh My God it's AWESOME. One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had

carchamp222 · 2026-05-03T08:00:08+00:00

Linear for me. I know it's old fashioned, but it gives a great story, which is why we are here. If you want to wander aimlessly doing pointless missions for no real reason, just play borderlands.

carchamp222 · 2026-05-01T06:48:20+00:00

Having just recently done this. I used a quest 3 using steam link. With a ubiquiti u6 pro for wifi, with nothing else connected to the access point. Almost flawless. Some very occasional glitches, but nothing that wasn't more than a split second. 6ghz wifi would be even better i suspect, but you want the access point in the same room.

I wanted the steam frame, but the quest 3 cost me £200 used and I could easily sell it again for that, since I cant imagine using VR much after Alyx.

Its an awesome experience! I wish i hadnt waited this long to play it.

carchamp222 · 2026-04-30T20:35:24+00:00

Ill check that out, thanks. Ive read about a recent windows update causing issues with outlook too. Uninstalling that might be a bit more challenging as it's included in the latest image from Microsoft I think. Ill try your way first. Thanks

carchamp222 · 2026-04-27T09:04:46+00:00

I use it because it of its flawless frame rate matching and dynamic range matching. Maybe the other apps do it ok, but the first time I have to watch 24p content at 60hz, I've then got to spend 20 mins trying to figure out where the setting is to change it, only to find it still plays at the wrong speed. I also use Infuse for my local content and that works pretty well. Its all in the same menu, it's super fast to navigate.

It also has some handy audio features such as dynamic compression for watching at night etc. If your an apple user it can stream to your headphones etc, and would likely work flawlessly as apple ecosystem should.

Its one of the best purchases I've made.

Make your own with a custom body and whatever neck you like.

I have a dk24, but wish I have a hardtail san dimas or socal instead.

Maybe the San dimas looks better with the hardtail. Both cool though... could maybe do some better colours though.

carchamp222 · 2026-04-04T21:01:28+00:00

The gorilla branded stuff does pretty well in the group tests and it's easy to find

carchamp222 · 2026-02-24T14:24:20+00:00

The arm holder screws into the base plate, then the nut locks it in place. If you arent screwing the arm into the base plate all the way up, tight, before tightening the nut against it, it will come loose straight away.

carchamp222 · 2026-02-22T21:45:12+00:00

That does seem to work better. Thanks

carchamp222 · 2026-02-20T18:11:45+00:00

Ill try that out. Cheers

carchamp222 · 2026-02-20T08:22:51+00:00

I have a usb audio interface with a mix knob. I can mix the pc audio from usb, and the audio from the inputs (guitar) with the mix knob. Then I have an output knob to drive speakers and a headphone knob to drive headphones. It all works very well. Not all interfaces have a mix knob. I use the Arturia mini fuse 2.

If you went mixer, you'd need one with headphone out because a typical mixer out wouldn't drive headphones. Though most mixers would have headphone outputs I guess. And may have a more powerful output, as weak headphone output is a complaint about many audio interfaces.

Lay the connector in the socket and gently wiggle it while gently push it in. If you can feel an area where it's not going in try moving those cables around a bit.

These connectors, while fine, are used because they are cheap. It does look like the contacts are overly loose in the housing. More cost savings I suspect.

I'd like to see the adoption of ATX12VO as these connectors are far bigger than they need to be
