@hideki half life 2 turns 20 in 2 years
@beardalaxy that game still kicks ass 100% how it is.
@hideki haven't played it yet but I'm going to soon(tm)
@beardalaxy how is that even possible smh
@hideki I didn't get a PC capable of playing anything beyond half speed N64 emulation until I was 19.
Hadn't played portal until last year and I just barely beat portal 2 and half life last month.
Just never got around to it until now lol. It's wild though, nobody else in my house has played half life either.
@beardalaxy i don't know if you say it as a joke or not, but N64 emulation sucks atm, HL2 runs fairly well even on 10 year old computers.
@hideki it's getting pretty close to 10 years ago that i got my first gaming PC. 2015. back then all i had were office computers without GPUs and pentium processors. maybe i could have run the original half life on it, but i couldn't even run l4d unless i wanted 10fps on minimum settings.
but i'm not saying the n64 emulation was particularly great back then, just that it was something i could barely run. source games were completely out of the question. i was really happy to get my first gaming PC because i could emulate dolphin because i wasn't even able to do that before.
