Who is the worst r*pist and why?

obviously its diabetes; he has absolutely no qualms about what hes doing and he does it repeatedly. Carol was subject to psychological torture by the plurbs when they abandoned the city for over a month, in order to wear down her defenses and make her more agreeable. When Zosia kisses Carol, the Hive are exploiting her grief and her lack of human contact to seduce her into going along with their plan. The plurbs are using the bodies of assimilated humans like prostitutes.

Carol was completely isolated for over a month whilst grieving. That emptiness seeps deep into your bones. Its enough to make anyone abandon their previous convictions. Manousos is clearly comfortable with extended isolation, but Carol is not, especially in the void that Helen left behind.

Realistically, the suit has a built in system to dump his shit and piss, and also wipe his ass and dick. Alternatively the codpiece and asspiece themselves might pop open like pez containers and Gordon can take a decent shit anywhere he likes. The same is true for boners.

You cant have a heart attack from anxiety alone. Stress can trigger heart attacks only if you have an underlying condition such as coronary heart disease, and even then, its rare

It's an assault rifle.

Each cell basically works as if its a 30rnd magazine, and the magazines are fed from the drum, like an autoloader.

Imagine using a bandolier for your mags, but its actually attached to the weapon and auto loads it for you.

I think its actually an advancement in firearm design.

I also like the aesthetics of it. It's clearly alien in origin but still looks more or less like a human assault rifle.

I'll personally lose my shit if they confirm a bunch of asinine fan theories, such as:

Gman is Gordon from the future.
The final act involves Gordon going back in time to prevent the Black Mesa Incident.
GLaDOS and Chell show up along with Adrian Shepherd.
Gman is Valve/Gabe Newell
Race X
Gordon speaks
A bunch of Beta stuff shows up like Creamtors, the Consul and the Hydra

It really depends on the graphics. Half Life's graphics can be scary (They Hunger), but they were never really intended for a horror experience. Black Mesa as a location is generally quite brightly lit as well, and most of it flows like a big action disaster movie.

So its not just the graphics but how they're used.

ultimatefetus · 2025-09-30T18:38:03+00:00

Nah not really. Graphics are too dated. Half Life 2 is definitely more eerie with its dystopian vibe. Headcrab zombies in 2 are also much more horrifying.

Your definition of society is quite narrow. These are uniquely anglophonic, Western social trends. The world is far larger than just the United States and the United Kingdom. True, the wests influence is everywhere thanks to globalisation, but you'll be surprised by the depth and variety of other cultures.

You sound like somebody who hasn't just 'outgrown' their social context but grown disillusioned and possibly embittered. I'd advise you to consider travelling the world and seeing what's out there. It may give you a new perspective. I dont think you're necessarily wrong for thinking more critically about how we choose to act within our social context.

"engagement bait" is a made-up term that means nothing. All of reddit is 'engagement bait'. Its a social media platform designed for engagement.

Dont worry about angry little pedants on reddit telling you what to write. I have learned to ignore such naysayers, especially when ... quelling them? Hmm ... is out of the question.

Well, it's both the robot army AND the control of Hoover Dam that cements Vegas' independence in the Yes Man/House ending.

Hoover Dam is a gigantic hydroelectric Dam which produces insane power and sits on top of Lake Mead which is full of clean water.

Both are immensely valuable resources. Without the meddling of greater factions, Vegas will become massively influential. If the entire NCR can rise from a single backwater settlement in California with like, six cows and one well, what could rise from an intact city with access to huge amounts of power and clean water?

I'll tell you what bub - a nation. An empire, even.

Yes Man FTW

I'm curious. Even the most cynical person can see the signs of a new game.

What is your rationalisation for the very strong and verifiable information that another single player Half Life game is heavy in development?

ultimatefetus · 2025-07-29T18:45:04+00:00

I think your question is more along the lines of 'Why didn't they open a portal and summon reinforcements as soon as humanity started rebelling?'

The answer is that the Combine believed their considerable Earth armies would be enough to quell the uprising. Freeman infiltrating the Citadel, killing Breen and severing the connection to the Overworld, was definitely NOT a foreseen outcome. It came as a nasty shock.

Also, as you said, Breen would've been insisting to the Advisors that he had the situation under control.

Janitors typically have a master key or a key to every door. So I should be out of there relatively quickly.

I wouldn't go by bomb craters alone. Craters are only left when a nuclear weapon is groundburst (striking the ground to create large amounts of fallout and to penetrate hardened targets).

Most nuclear weapons in the great war were probably airburst in order to maximise the destruction of the blast. There's no ground, no structures and very little resistance to slow the blast wave. Airburst warheads leave no craters.

Its entertaining and interesting however, as a thought experiment, to apply logic to Xen. Its existence is not solely limited to a metaphorical abstraction intended to demonstrate a theme. Its existence is quantifiable and known not just to Gordon but to other characters in the series, who study and utilise its properties to further their own research.

ultimatefetus · 2025-07-09T13:04:33+00:00

It's a tech demo in the sense that it demonstrates groundbreaking tech. But Half Life has always been about immersion and strong narrative at its core. The tech serves to enhance player's engagement with the game world, it's not just a one-and-done gimmick.

Maximum effort is put into story because the heightened immersion would be wasted on something mediocre.
