I just got my copies signed by Gabriel Bá. So happy!

I’d argue that anything that promotes, even indirectly, hate and violence should be an infringement, but that would be up for a judge to decide. Steam is not 4chan, it’s a commercial sales platform and they have responsibilities over their content. :\

It’s always important to have neutral people from far outside a country’s mess to provide an objective review of its situation. You might agree or disagree with it, and by no means it should be taken with authority, but the external point of view is always important to be had.

As a fellow Brazilian, I have actually been having recurrent nightmares, constant anxiety and migraines (which I hadn’t had for years!). I didn’t expect to be this affected, but empathy is involuntary and this is too scary and too true. :’(

Yeah, I had hope too at first, but this is pure evil. Though even if it was some form of protest, right now there’s no room for subtlety - B’s supporters are willing to believe Nazism was a left-wing movement and protest in favor of a totalitarian regime while wearing Star Wars’ Resist shirts and paying hefty sums to…

No, they are not. There’s no ambiguity or irony in this. It’s an honest-to-god call for arms against all minority groups, and it incites hate, violence and intolerance.

This game promotes, encourages and incites hate and violence against all minority groups - it’s racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic and even antisemite. It is libellous and propagates fake news and other false information. It idolises a totalitarian figure and glorifies racial cleansing, torture and genocide.…

That’s the scary thing, there’s absolutely no ambiguity or irony in this. It’s a plain call for arms against all the minority groups, against poor people, democracy and communism, which are implied to be all the same thing. It literally promotes and glorifies racial cleansing, torture and genocide.

This is not about the government censuring anything, it’s about a game literally inciting hate and violence against minorities, spreading misinformation and promoting racial cleansing, torture and genocide as a national policy against communism. It doesn’t get any worse than this.

I hated the ending, but up until the true antagonists arrive I found it very good.

That’s heartwarming. It’s hard to describe why, but I find it hard to believe they will be able to convincingly recreate the Source feeling. It’s a lot of hassle, and with diminishing rewards. Despite what I said, I’d rather they invest time and energy into making a great game. I just won’t feel like it’s truly…

THANK YOU! YOU GET IT!!!

Thank you, even though I wasn’t really criticising their choice. UE is actually a fine choice; it’s not like they could reuse a ton of stuff (remember, EP3 is set in a quite different environment, and it’s not like the assets have aged so well in a decade). UE, unlike Source, is still being actively maintained and…

SO MUCH SALT HAHAHAHA :`)

It’s not like they haven’t updated the engine since the Orange Box, but you and many others have missed the point. First, I was half-joking and, second, the part that was not a joke was because it just doesn’t feel the same on any other engine. The physics glitches, console cheats and all the other nostalgic stuff can…

They lost me at Unreal Engine. I’m OK with it not being made by Valve, but if it’s not on Source Engine it’s not Half-Life.

Well, they need to have redundant space suits anyway, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they just switched to larger sizes as needed. Doesn’t sound like a problem to me, specially considering the whole trip is probably supposed to only take a few years, at which point they can recycle the suits for the next crew. There…

He might have said carbon dating as an umbrella expression for some other dating procedure (it wasn’t in a technical context), but I agree it wasn’t a great choice for building dialogue.

I’ve had three kinds of déjà vu: the common one, where I find myself in a situation I’m sure I’ve been in before (sometimes it’s the place, sometimes the dialog, other times the sequence of events); one where I feel like I’m trapped in the same day (groundhog day style); and a weird recurring one, where I feel like I…

You got the basic idea right, but that’s not about higher dimensions, it’s just the shape of space itself. If space has a (positive) curvature, then the sum of the inner angles of any triangle sums up to more than 180 degrees. That’s called an elliptic space.
