  • Half life was pretty big. It not only influenced gaming but it was also HUGE on modding and popularized seamless levels, smart ai, physics and movie-like visual storytelling in shooters. It did a lot and definitely deserves a place on a list of influential games. Competetive esports as seen today exists thanks to a half life mod. It also popularized the realistic shooter genre as cs was really realistic back in its day.










  • Your guide did literally nothing other than return errors. Seems like even you don’t know how to do this. And you follow wrong instructions that don’t work up with asking for coordinates of buttons for gui, this is scraping the bottom of the barrel. As in you’ve gone through the barrel, through the bottom, dug through the entire earth and are scraping the bottom of another barrel from under it.

    I like the terminal on linux a lot, but with arguments like these you need to touch grass at least once a year my friend.



  • Realizing how often I need to unfuck windows bullshit with regedit, commandline, installing more programs like putty for more command lines and 20 poorly made control panels drove me to linux finally cause I thought I might as well do everything consistently from one place: terminal.

    Now I realize I haven’t had to use terminal for anything except tunneling to schools remote server to run a webpage as part of my studies and to start a local database, things no normal user would ever do. Things I will never do once I finish my school.


  • thing with gui is you don’t need to memorize button locations and menus. If you do it’s poor layout. Good gui lets you find things you didn’t know you were looking for intuitively, without external resources or manual. CLI requires you to know what exactly you are doing and is impossible to use without external resources. Nothing against terminal but unless you know what you are doing and every command required to complete that action, it’s ass.
