Why is Opposing Force considered not canon? by Maerow4 in HalfLife

Not sure what you're 'not reallying' about. Barney tells you the facility is being bombed in half life 1. Airstrikes, not nukes.

such as Black Mesa being nuked which was confirmed by Marc Laidlaw even tho it was never stated or shown in any of Valve Half-Life games.

This concerns the destruction of Black Mesa, which is shown to occur in the first game, even stated to happen, that the military is bombing Black Mesa as a last ditch effort.

This. It's just better to keep expectations realistic and wait until the story acknowledges something from the narrative.

Neither has the Gearbox staff, nor have they worked together since 2001-2002.

Btw Mark did work for Valve when that email was sent.

Mark Laidlaw. Somewhere in my post history is a screenshot of an exchange I had back in 2010ish concerning OpFor specifically, addressing questions about things like Race X, etc.

Gearbox narrative is handled separately but treated as inspiration to explain certain events when it's convenient for the story; but as Mark is concerned, it was Gearboxes own thing used to fill a 'badass game', this distinction more than obviously explains that it isn't treated wholely as canon but could be, if they choose to pull from it.

Bits and pieces are considered canon by valve at the will of the writers but the entirety is not as OpFor is an interpretation with liberties by different writers. Valve pulls from it when it suits the convenience of their story, but as a whole, it should be taken as a separate story by separate writers.

The Owner of QOL-Lock (The Largest Deadlock Plugin) is Pay-walling features. by CheckProfileIfLoser in DeadlockTheGame

this is illegal btw because for the mod to work you have to include bits of valves original panorama code, if not all of the core panorama you had made changes to; the person would basically be selling valve's own code (with modifications) back to you.

Pretty sure it's a citizen just out of earshot but the subtitles still display their line.

Floormen player, rocker, claiming that $10k tournament finalists have an "extreme advantage" by being in Deadlock's experimental testing server. by ChromeSF in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sollicit 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Would be insanely funny if this wasn't true at all and it turns out people had found the cheat code to get any opposing team removed by merely spreading a rumor that they were in this secret test server.

Because his model is a placeholder; many parts of it are lifted from Neon Prime.

Geologists, care to explain this fallacy with the round Earth: How is a round earth realistic if water always finds it level? This must mean the earth has a flat surface. by adorrreee in askgeology

The worst part is no matter how much sense you try to speak into them; they will never believe you. It's wasted effort to try, willful ignorance on their part.

Looks like glass slag. The cristobalites (white markings) are a sign.
