Picked up Black Mesa to play on my Steam Deck a while ago, but I've been hard stopped by a crash to "desktop" that seems to occur consistently whenever I approach the Vortigaunt vs. marine shootout in On A Rail. Have any other Deck owners encountered this issue? I'd rather not cheat my way past if possible.

Few years ago i tried play it on deck too. Crashed at a different point the same way. Idk how the fuck those devs raped the source engine so much

episodes didnt really do much with tech
they slightly improved the AI but that about it.

IIRC
Episode 1 improved Source's facial animations compared to the vanilla game.
Episode 2 improved mapping limitations and scope, hence the big open areas.

The first Half-Life ran on GoldSrc and didn't really do anything impressive tech wise

It popularized skeletons in modelling and animation.
It popularized scripted sequences vs FMV cutscenes.
It pioneered storytelling priority over just clearing a level/stage.

While you can debate that Unreal did it better, it came a tad too late to the party to claim the crown.

It's not really going that far.
Most of the Valve modders worth a damn became trannies or heavily sympathetic to the tranny cause.
CS, HL, DOD, TF, L4D- you name it. Trannies were the backbone of their modding scene.
Makes sense too; who else but heavily autistic nerds isolated and alone could make the kind of content they did, all for validation from strangers?

Two more things it popularized that go unnoticed are colored lighting effects and digital effects processing on sounds. Things like the metal bonging when in air vents or all the green and blue glowing around Xen were the result of making id's engine suck less and unintentionally becoming more advanced that what Quake II was using.
 
I decided to play a Tyler McNigger stream and went to a random moment, and what do I hear? "I don't think Kiwi Farms had anything to do with it" In relation to him getting harassment online over HL3 not getting previously revealed at game awards

I think you misheard him though, he's explicitly not blaming us. Which is actually surprising tbh, kudos to him for that I guess.
 
Tomorrow would be a very nice day to announce it because it's also the day Bossman has court, imagine the double whammy of a Half Life reveal and BossmanJack getting bond.
 
Just read through the leaked plot.
The gist is that all the "stasis" that Gordon experiences is actually sissy hypno from the Gman.
The story ends with Gordon realizing that even with all this alien tech, he'll never be a woman. He then jumps into the 41% green portal.
 
New weapon leaked, the big new gimmick of HL3 is going to be a 4K UHD turbo remaster of the Rape Swep; leaker says they did it to spite the bri*ish and to reignite interest in using Source 2 Filmmaker for making freaky porno for more grey market funding to prop up the two people assigned to convert TF2's duct tape to Source 2 via gorilla tape.
