I've been playing Half Life for the first time

https://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/Black_Mesa/

90% off - Or about $1.99 USD - Can't recommend enough, if you've ever wanted to play Half Life, this is IMO the way to play the first game. It basically remasters and remakes the game, taking what worked and polishing, and fixing what didn't.

ICYAI Black Mesa Definitive Edition, the fanmade Half Life remake that very justifiably earned a commercial release approval by Valve, is currently 90% off on Steam, which makes it around 1,95€, until the 19th of May.

Hey y'all! That unofficial Half Life game that became an official Half Life game, Black Mesa?

That mother trucker is on sale for $1.99

$1 and 99¢!

Don't know if that's normal for this game, but fuck it! Add it to the library! https://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/Black_Mesa/

Black Mesa 'Resonance Decade' update out now with Linux and Steam Deck improvements and a big sale https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/black-mesa-resonance-decade-update-out-now-with-linux-and-steam-deck-improvements-and-a-big-sale/

What she says: "I'm Okay"

What she means: "Weren't you supposed to be in the Test Chamber half an hour ago?"

What is this, 1998?!? Side note: Forgot all about the jump scares! It’s not just an FPS but a horror FPS! lol.

Been almost 30 years, y’all. Gonna take a mo’ to adapt.

Saw this one being shared about various #PCGaming circles today:

You are out of uniform, scientist! Where is your power armour?!

…"don't have any"? You expect me to believe that, MAGGOT?! The truth is, you have lost an expensive piece of government-funded equipment! That suit is going to come out of your pay, and you will remain in this man's test chamber 'til you are… 510 years old! Which is the number of YEARS it will take for YOU to pay for a Mk.4 Hazardous EnVironment Suit you have lost! Report to the locker room to get a new suit issued to you, then report back to me, doctor! DISMISSED!

I began writing my first #fanfiction today.

As someone who is multi-fandom, I wanted this fanfiction to be a crossover between several pieces of media. The fanfic in question is going to be a re-telling of the first #HalfLife but with a couple of changes in the story to make it its own thing. In addition, it's going to include characters and lore from #SonicTheHedgehog, #ResidentEvil, and #HelluvaBoss. There are going to be some flaws, but I still hope you'll enjoy it.

I finally got my #Ubuntu desktop upgraded! I went from a first generation Intel Core i3 with 16 GB of RAM, to a fancy new motherboard and an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 1700 with 64 GB of RAM.

I also replaced my measly Nvidia video card with 2 GB of RAM to a pretty decent GeForce GTX1650 with 6 GB of RAM.

@Viss I can FINALLY play Half-Life 2 at native resolution on my big monitor!

Ahead of its 10 year Steam anniversary, Black Mesa has a new beta with improved Linux support and many fixes https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/04/ahead-of-its-10-year-steam-anniversary-black-mesa-has-a-new-beta-with-improved-linux-support-and-many-fixes/

going to write a proper introduction post!

hello, my name is neo. i'm a transmasc in my 20's. generally speaking i like machines that move people, amusement rides, shooter games, and various sci fi and sci fi-adjacent media. i'm in between jobs right now, but my background spans aerospace engineering, acting, teaching, and operating amusement rides.

i occasionally draw and shoot 35mm film! (even less often, i write mediocre fanfiction.)

i'm on the fence about talking about my mental issues on new social media pages but you might find me mentioning them down the line.

i'll put my interests in the tags. (hopefully that's considered helpful here, like mastodon, and not spammy like it is on some sites.) happy to be here!

Over on /r/halflife someone was fielding names for HL3 if the whole "HLX" thing pans out (which is sounding more likely by the day).

Assuming they don't call it "Half-Life 3", what are some good names? (Remember, rumor has it this is supposed to wrap up Gordon's story instead of leaving on a cliffhanger.)

Here are my contributions:

- Half-Life: Endgame
- Half-Life 2+1
- Half-Life E (backwards 3)
- Half3Life
- Half-Life: The Next Generation
- Half-Life (2026)
- Half-Life III: The Search for Eli
- New Half-Life
- Super Mesa Bros.
- Gordon Freeman's Pro Scientist 2
- Ms. Half-Life
- Mass Effect Spectrometer

And my favorite:

- Texaco Presents: A Quarter Century of Half-Life
