I didnt argue anything like that. I earlier suspected that you were just playing dumb. Maybe what I actually argued really was too much to process.

And you’re saying there’s no difference between playing Black Mesa today vs playing Half life today, and therefore he might as well start out with Black Mesa? Or what is the meaning of your reply?

Hard disagree. Games like Half life have a huge historical value for their impact. Playing the original is worth it. Especially if one takes the medium itself seriously. You wouldn’t say an original movie and a 22 years younger remake are “the same”, right? I think you’re playing dumb with me.

Love the Wikipedia link btw. I’ve played Black Mesa in its early access phase already and then later on again when they released Xen.

You are saying the third party remake in another engine from 2020 is the same as the original from 1998?

If he never played the original I think it’s good he starts with it. Black Mess is great, but the original Half Life has a certain historical value (and is still a great game).

Thank you everyone!

Ich bin inzwischen umgezogen. Habe nen Moment erwischt wo wie Seite mal kurz funktionierte und dann die Export-Funktion in den settings genutzt.

Ich finde es klasse, das Leute bereit sind in ihrer freien Zeit mit eigenem Geld sowas wie feddit zu betreiben. Aber dann kann man halt nicht gleichzeitig nen halbes Jahr weg und unerreichbar sein. Das passt halt nicht zusammen. Man muss zumindest vorher klären, wer übernehmen könnte.

So ist es vermutlich ziemlich schädlich für die deutsche Fediverse Community. Der erste Eindruck und so.
