Quoting: EikeLet me take this opportunity...First, you need to possess the ability to count.
What would be the best way to get into HL nowadays?
Afterwards, you play Half-Life, then Half-Life 2.
Quoting: EikeWould that be Black Mesa then?Absolutely not. Black Mesa is a terrible choice for a first time player. Playing Black Mesa ruins at least half of the experience of Half-Life 2 when you get to it, since it uses the same engine to remake the first game. It breaks the fundamental ways Half-Life and Half-Life 2 were meant to be played.

Is there any indication of this working differently than Waydroid when it comes to ARM-only APKs ? Currently on Waydroid, only x64 APKs work, ARM ones work only after installing an inadequate emulator.

Even as I write this, I still don't think I truly grasp the ramifications of this. How Valve is so ridiculously ahead of the entire industry including Microsoft, Apple and Google with making computing (and gaming) on ARM a thing.
I don't know how more popular these little ARM chips are going to be in the future, but thanks to the open source community and largely Valve, the platform just got a whole lot more viable now.

Good, lets get rid of these terrible companies like Activation/Blizzard etc that block Linux and release terrible games.From what I understand, Blizzard is actually one of the few if not the only Dev out there to do anti-cheat right. Overwatch uses a server-side anti-cheat last I checked.

What is the correlation here, where actually worthwhile and not predatory multiplayer games, made by passionate devs and not a committee work on Liunx ? :whistle:
