Can we get 10h of just the bing bong part?

I’d argue that early 8 bit games are already viewed this way! IMO very few of them hold up today, and aren’t interesting for more than 5 mins of gameplay.

Although a more apt analogy would be silent movies vs talkies..

It’d suck if they got rid of finger tracking, these leaked designs are missing the palm strap from the Index controllers so you’ll just drop the thing if you open your grip…

And yes, I like to sync the whole repo, so I can pick up *exactly* where I left off on another device without having to commit, push to remote from my desktop, then pull on my laptop.

IMO commits should represent a whole block of work, not “this is what I did in the 1h I had spare last night”

I introduced some friends to HL1 in 2013 and even back then I told them that watching a video of the first 10 minutes was all they needed… Black Mesa is a huge improvement but fundamentally still based on outdated game design

For anyone remotely interested in the process of game development, the 20th anniversary update has commentary by the developers which are absolute gems. They’re really gonna make me play through the game yet another time 😆
