They’ll almost definitely get destroyed at the end of the game, and the reason we never heard about it in HL2 is because it was some super-secret prototype. Valve is absolutely meticulous when it comes to their lore, maybe they’ll even patch in a reference to it.

That commenter was explicitly drawing a parallel to Blizzard’s “Do you not have phones?” comment re: Diablo Immortal. You need a phone to play Diablo Immortal, you don’t need an Index to play this. $1000 headsets absolutely do exist but they aren’t the norm at all and nobody is designing games around the assumption…

The Valve index isn’t necessary for this or any other VR game, though. Nowhere does it say this is an Index exclusive, Valve’s explicit mission statement with SteamVR has been to support as many headsets as possible, and literally every game that supports the Index treats it as a bonus and not a prerequisite.

An Oculus Rift S, essentially the second-best VR headset on the market, is cheaper than a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. No idea where this $1000 myth came from.

Wait, what’s notably shitty about 2K? I mean I’m not a fan of sports games or yearly releases but I don’t think I’ve ever heard about them doing anything actively terrible.

WhatsApp Messenger is a freeware, cross-platform messaging and Voice over IP service owned by Facebook.

Reminds me of that poor kid whose parents let him drop out of school to pursue a career playing professional Guitar Hero. I wonder where he is now.

In Blevins’ mind, Khattri should have been given a suspension of six months to a year by Epic because his career ostensibly depends on Fortnite.

I mean you’re not wrong that it’s obviously been in development for a while, but the fact that they’re talking about it so openly about it now after years of silence -and ignoring/refusing to comment on articles from people like Gita - is absolutely not a coincidence.

Those story reasons being, “Oh fuck, we need something to distract people from the fact that we support a genocidal police state”

I always just thought “rocks come from the ground, if i was a bird I wouldn’t like being on the ground, so of course birds hate rocks”

Giant Bomb’s coverage explicitly mentioned that Dong person as well, so I’m assuming it’s another journalist and there just isn’t a very big pool of players to draw from right now.

They just added Io (and a bunch of other heroes) today with the new patch. I don’t know specifically how they tweaked those alliances but if you look on the bottom of that screenshot it says all alliances will always be possible to complete regardless of the jail.

There’s a really good post floating out in the aether about how Imgur users are these weird rat people who don’t understand their entire community exists underneath the infrastructure for something much larger and more functional.

I get the feeling that Eriana’s Vow in particular is meant to be something you do passively, over the course of this expansion’s lifecycle. Because you’re right, the percentages are absolutely crazy and it just doesn’t make sense to actively spend time grinding it out to the exclusion of other quests.

Protip: The second chapter is widely considered a massive slog due to the amount of backtracking through drowner-infested swamps. You can buy a Red Ribbon from some of the vendors that repels them and makes things a lot less painful, I’d recommend getting it ASAP.

Highly recommend checking out the first two short story collections, The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. They’re pretty light reading and a lot of fun, even disregarding their connection to the series!

You should just be able to select it from the Missions option on the main menu, though from what I’ve heard that will actually overwrite your save and remove any progress you’ve made since completing it the first time.

This game was absolutely made for desktop wallpapers, can’t wait.
