Will it release on consoles?
Two days. Trust the plan.
>>726026186I'm ready for it brosI'm fucking ready for HL3
>FELL FOR IT AGAIN
Are you guys coming to the Combine peace offering concert?
>>726026265Steam Machine ;^)
It's getting shadow dropped on the 30th. My dad works at Steam
It's not going to happen.
Make this thread everyday for the rest of November. November is the month. If not, I will be sad for the rest of the year.
Hi this is Neil Breen. You may have defeated my half-brother Wallace Breen, but soon I will unleash my A.I (Artificial Intelligence) powers (the corrupt version) and kill four hundred million humans from the planet.
>>726026186The leak about Steam Frame last Wednesday was right, so this coming Wednesday should be HL3.
>>726026354I will anon. Mainly I just think most of /v/ is disgusting, retarded, gay and boring shit so I want to guarantee this board has at least one decent thread. Seriously I normally browse /tv/ and this board fucking sucks ASS.
>>726026186it's not HL3. i won't say anymore than: aperture desk jobeveryone here and in the previous thread will be varying levels of disappointed come december. but it's still a fun experience. just don't look forward to a fully-fledged HL3
What do we know about the game itself?100%>Borealis >snow>vehicle gameplay (Forza dev was headhunted)>Xen >Gorilla Unsure>BreenGrub?>Mossman?>Kraken BaseConfused>literally any other playable area besides snow and Xen
>>726026520>he is unawareyou know Valve literally said this week they're not developing demos right
>>726026520shut
>>726026520>working for 6 years on a HL Desk Job to ship with the Framesure mate
>>726026563>liquid properties (how certain liquids affect certain props and materials)>open area levels>procedural generated enemy AI akin to L4D>gravity bullshittery in S P A C E
Literally NO ONE outside of 4chan and usual suspects like mcnigger talk about HLX.
some anons in previous thread argued that Combine use or have Xen in control. I think thats wrong.>The borderworld, Xen, is in our control. Thanks to youXen is free of combine, but it's now in the hands of whoever are Gs employees.
>>726026563Wasn't there some stuff about objects being able to break apart like in teardown? That might have been from an earlier version of 3 but i remember hearing about it
>>726026265Hopefully not.Fuck Consoles.
What was Donald Rumsfeld doing during the Seven Hour War?
>>726026692Voxel destruction you mean. Leftover from Arty most likely and not in the game, but apparently object will have improved deformation properties.
>>726026659sucks for them
Name your most hated Half-Life enemy
can someone that's keeping up with Valve spoonfeed mewere there ever any updates to that half-life FPS/RTS game they might have been working on or did that rumor fizzle out?
>>726026827non-zero chance HLX is that tbdesu
>>726026776>Leftover from Arty most likely and not in the gameMaybe we can get it in Half life 4 then>but apparently object will have improved deformation properties.That's good to hear at least>>726026827Pretty sure it ended up becoming Deadlock
>>726026563Expanded melee combat based on the one Naughty Dog dev who was hired for this. Either that or they hired him for NPC close combat animationhttps://youtu.be/VJJkU4H4qYw?si=4qfnt0JrvmnTjXnL
People who worked on HL2 have already retired or don't give a fuck anymoreIf there's a hl3 you're getting a pink haired tranny treatment

>>726026825HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BWEtyCV7D4
>>726026919That's nice, but I played HLA and it was fucking great. The writing was good (no I don't care about ending bitching) and the gameplay was very fun and creative.
>>726026825Rube became such a faggot.>Has huge following because of Halo>Rookie gets killed in a book by some random strong female>He stops drawing Halo at all>Starts drawing his SUPER AWESOME OH CEE DONUT STEELS>Stops drawing them and does nothing>Stagnates and blames everyone else around him for liking Halo too much
>>726026825I would betray my species in an instant if the Combine made us look like that. If the seven hour war happened in the 2020s the union would take advantage of our coomer brains.
>>726026919I mean Alyx was cool your brain just got fried by the culture war
>>726026297ridiculous celebrities really would do that
>>726026827HL3 is real and it's releasing tomorrow anon, that's the news
>>726026931Never ever.
If it was going to happen then it would have leaked already. You're falling for it again
>>726026825Pic related, It has always felt like a chore fighting them.
>>726026825I'm all for sexualising the combine but this is just shitty character design, her legs are way too far apart, I can't get turned on by something that looks anatomically repugnant
Look at this guy
>>726027036Open your heart anon HL3 on a Valve console is coming to you before GTA 6
Can someone condense all the supposed facts that HL3/HLX is coming out soon? I'm not reading a fucking Miro board of schizo-tier facts pinned together on a cork board like a detective trying to uncover a conspiracy.Give me the meat. Why is the Hopium so strong?
>>726026265Orange Box 2.
>>726027064Valve hired private security teams to deal with leakers and breaches. They learned after a god knows how many leaks.
>>726027064It did leak, haven't you seen them?
>>726027145>consoleit's a mini PC
>>726026486Please let them be Indians, Neil
>>726027118>literally 3 PLAPS from your pistol
>>726026265kek no
>>726026186abandon all hope
>>726026827It fizzled out unfortunately. Shame though, it could've been cool. If there's a game studio that can make an FPS-RTS hybrid game, it's Valve.
>>726027238How is that guy releasing so many goldsrc shorts every day?
>>726027139fuck he's literally me
Will it be good without him?
>>726026987I will kms if we don't finally get a clearly female Combine monstrosity. I don't care if the tits are chopped of, if the cunt is sewn shut, or if it has missile launchers for eyes, I NEED a lobotomized tranhuman femoid drone
>>726027352No
>>726027352They'll reveal Doug Church was the lead designer when they reveal the game and everything will be okay.
>HLX is a VR title>HLX is a spinoff>HLX has you play as someone who isn't Gordon>HLX is literally called "Half Life X">HLX ends in a cliff hanger>HLX has subpar music>HLX has a portal themed segment that goes on for too long and has too many sarcastic humor quips>HLX has the cinder block puzzle for a new generation, this time using liquid and gravity based elements instead of just simple physics elments>HLX has a more distant Alyx who doesn't hug you
>>726026919HLA was incredible and I cannot wait for the same dev team to make another HL game.
>>726027352Nope. That's why I'm hoping he's back for this. Dude's the soul of the series imo.
>>726027359I watched that one guy's video about the anatomy of the Combine and Stalkers and he mentioned the combine removes their soldier's sexual organs in order for them to not feel the need to defect and reproduce with the resistance (which is silly since they have memory replacement tech as seen in episode 1)But they should keep the women soldiers looking like that if they want me to defect to them and give up Resistance info.
>>726027146essentially the long and short of it is>we know for a fact valve has been working on a half life game for years due to updates to other valve games on the same engine containing assets and filenames tagged with "HLX">various insider sources confirming that valve is working on something HUGE, and has been aggressively pulling in extra manpower to the project both within valve and without to get it done>in the last few months specifically, valve has shown many of the exact same bellwethers that preceded the announcement of half life alyx>all of the bellwethers have pointed to a release around this time of year, with tyler mcnigger himself suggesting mid late november as the best guessI'm cautiously optimistic. I know the meme and I know it can seem like cope but I really do think the evidence is compelling. I don't necessarily think that it will be announced this week, but we KNOW a half life game is being worked on and is nearing completion, that much is actively confirmed.
Can't wait for Hunt Down The Freeman 2!
>>726027516>all of the bellwethers have pointed to a release around this time of yearannouncement*
>>726027548the abandoned devs have to make HDTF good from start to finish before they can do that
>>726027181The lines are extremely blurred already with modern console architecturesThe only thing that's truly differentiating a PC and a console at this point is how open and accessible the OS is to users to load software not verified or published or explicitly allowed by the hardware manufacturer.Valve could have locked down the deck and machine via steam OS and the bootloader but they simply don't see the value in treating their customers the same way the other big 3 do
>>726027416>HLX continues the long running tradition of valve ignoring the existence of my boy Adrian "Race X Fucking Shits" Shephard
>>726027548But Berkan Denizyaran works for Activision or whatever.And I doubt the critical VAs will come back. President Keemstar, Asian-American-British National Guardsmen IHateEverything, That MLG youtuber turned commentary channel #487217 CollosalIsCrazy or whatever the fuck, Sky Willims and who else?
>>726027672The Ravenholm spinoff had normal zombies in it instead of headcrab ones for some fucking reason. Also Father Grigori dies in it so fuck that.
>>726027767>But Berkan Denizyaran works for Activision or whatever.Not anymore. He works for Sony now lol. Lucky bastard.
I'M GONNA FUCKINHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE
>>726027843how does one get hired at activision/sony after making hunt down the freeman. is it why the state of gaming is so fucking horrible
>>726027591yeah sorry meant to say announcementif you want more details about the bellwethers, most of it is>the most recent major updates to other valve games sharing the same engine as this upcoming HLX title show evidence that whatever game is being worked on is essentially finished>the last major update that had references to HLX in the files is now several months ago, and there has now been an unusually long period of time with no major updates to any of their currently supported titles (this matters because this is exactly what preceded HLAlyx - all manpower was concentrated on the game being finished in the final months of development)>valve has had their autumn sale occur significantly earlier than it usually does, leaving a nearly unprecedented and quite conspicuous gap during november, and we also know that every new valve game gets put on the front page of steam for a while, so people think they had the autumn sale early so that the half life announcement doesn't draw attention and profit away from the autumn sale.
LMAO HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS ARENT JUST FUCKING AROUND YOU GENUINELY THINK THERES GOING TO BE A HL3 REVEAL. GETTING SHAT ON FOR 25 YEARS WASNT ENOUGH
I honestly dont want Valve to announce it on Twitter/steam like Half life Alyx. I really feel like Valve would want to announce it at the game awards. Purely just see the audience's reaction. Imagine what that crowd would be like, there would be people screaming their lungs out, people fucking getting up and jumping over chairs, hurling their beverages everywhere, it would be absolute mania. People would talk about it for the rest of their lives. I want all those 'Gaben walks up on stage memes' that we have joked about over the years to become real. I want see people freak out so much. It just feels too legendary of an opportunity to waste. Literal once in a lifetime event, no other game could muster such a reaction from people. It would be a shame to waste it.
gonna be disappointing if after all these years its another VR HL title, but i am expecting it nonetheless. despite being the most hyped game of all time at this point (no it's not GTA 6, fuck off, it's just a sandbox rinse and repeat) i think they can pull it off but only if we actually get satisfying answers and they close the story line rather than drag it out with more sequels in the future.
>>726027917Foreign workers quota because he's turkish.
>>726027917>make somewhat playable game (it was entirely broken when it released)>gather together to few bits that were ok>throw that into a resume>I sold a bit on steam>???>job application successful Then when he got the job he obviously worked on better things to put on a resume so HDTF was just a weird amateur moment for him. Now the steam page is controlled by some of the mappers and programmers who are actively trying to "fix" the game. It goes on sale sometimes.
>>726028020I don't either but come on. Do you really want a repeat of 2024 where we wait 4 hours of the worst announcements you could think of for nothing?
>>726028009HOPE RIDESALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE
>>726028073>somehow nobody, not even the HDTF dev team, notified Sony/Activision and showed how bad of a manager he was and that the game had stolen assetsok?
>>726028020Well i don't wanna wait til december for Geoff's shitty show just to witness a crumb of HL3
>>726028009It's going to happen this year.If not, we will do the same thing next year.
could some incredible and genius anon make an updated version of >>726026281 that includes >>726004258?
>>726028020I think they'll announce the game first this month, but they will show the gameplay properly at TGA for that little fanfare and exposure.
>>726028020Announcement on the 19thRelease date reveal at TGATrust
HL3 announcing during the last 10 minutes of the most shit fucking god awful Geoff stream would be better than porn. I just don't like the idea of Geoff announcing it.
>>726028027Valve has confirmed that they're not making any VR game atm.
>>726028009>Valve announces major hardware update>Releases Half Life Alyx>Valve announces major hardware update>...
>>726027643Valve don't market it as a console in any way as they know it's a PC and will be priced for the PC market rather than the console market.
ELI STATUS?
since valve confirmed they're not making any demos, codename "TF" in the steamDB datamines for source 2 games is not a demoit also means HLX will not be a VR game since Valve also said they're not currently developing any VR titles
>>726028073>>make somewhat playable game (it was entirely broken when it released)lol I just burst out laughing because you made me remember how fucked that game was on release. completely fucking unplayable. not to mention -https://youtu.be/f2x94k7bHc0
>>726028479the worst part is that the cutscenes didn't execute properly when the game came out so you never were able to see these unless you dug for them in the files
>>726028454I like that valve has all these somewhat esoteric rules and protocols that we can use to try and figure out what they're up to. Like the fact that they never really 'lie' (tell me if I'm wrong), they just omit.
>>726028479https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7lHJMkHYzk
POST THE MOST DERANGED SCHIZO THEORIES ON THE GAME:>HDTF gets acknowledged in the story
CHADrian GODhard!!!!
>>726028454I doubt TF is gonna end up being anything but i can sure fucking hope
>>726028020they should just post the orange lambda symbol on their social media and let the carnage run its own course lmao. i do expect a low profile announcement however. valve is too smart to try and hype up the game even more, which is exactly why they did a casual announcement with HL:A. i hope we get a trailer at least.
Would several announcements at once bring the internet to its knees?
How bad are valvecucks going to react when it's another vr spin off?
I want Shepard to show up somehow
HL3 is gonna be a perfect case of you think you do but you don't
>>726028678it would definitely go supercritical
>>726028556Sometimes Valve employees run their mouths waaaaaaaaay too much. There have been several instances in the past few months of Valve employees saying they've worked on HL3 without saying HL3.I don't remember what forum but I think a Valve employee was imploring people not to be fall for rumours about HL3 too easily, and essentially said it's a real project.
>>726028621The Clinton Administration was aware of the Resonance Cascade happening. They made a deal with the G-Man under the pretext that this will give the US a permanent one up over their new enemies (China) but the G-man and his employers betrayed them and used it to save the Advisor race by making the combine come to earth.
>>726028678>>726028716>They announce Orange Box 2
>>726028605
>>726028642It could be scrapped or changed. Deadlock was originally a Half Life game afterall.
>>726028678HL3 alone will crash the internet
>>726028715So... we actually DO want it?Do you even remember what you're referencing?
>>726028792If so, they should make an orange Steam Machine that comes with a bundled Orange Box 2 key.
did you guys just get your hopes crushed a few days ago ? ready to go again?
>>726026827That was just the prototype for Neon Prime which eventually became Deadlock.Rumors about it being a VR FPS/RTS were speculation since it was being developed at the same time as HL:A and dataminers didn't know which code was for which game.
>>726026825>donke sounds
>>726028889Not really. The hardware shit, the deckard the controller and the steam machine were all referenced in the same datamines HLX has been seen in. I was annoyed it wasn't announced at the same day, but at least I know it's just around the corner.
>>726026265Yeah.
>>726028889I knew they'd announce the hardware first and let it stew a bit. I never thought they'd spoil their gabecube with HL3 hype (which would unironically be far greater).
>>726028934>that one fucking poison zombie that slowly walks towards you from far away when you get to the highway 17 bridgefucker
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FUCKING BOOK GABE
>>726028678>valve announces the blue box with hl3, tf3, portal 3, and peggle 3
I wonder how good it'll look. Alyx was visually really impressive.
>>726029118unironically it probably contains spoilers to an actual real game they're set to release.which is half-life 3. so they'll wait until it's at least announced.
>>726028454>TF2 Comic ended hinting at Scouts and soldier's kids becoming the new mercsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>726028621gman is a literal biblical devil/satan
>>726027352He's totally been working on it.The Half-Life 2 documentary brought back a lot of old hands.
>>726029118next week, trust the planthe website hasn't changed the date
>>726029163CS2 is probably a good benchmark for what you can expect visually out of HL3
>>726028685Valve already said no VR titles in development currently, so we will be fine
WHERE IS GORDON!?WHERE IS THE FREEMAN!?
3 won't be dark and seriousYou will have a character talking to you almost everytime like Russell in Half-Life Alyx
>>726027416>>HLX has a more distant Alyx who doesn't hug you
>>726028889 Absolutely. It's tradition at this point. Valve dangles a string, we all start salivating like Pavlov's dogs. Every datamine, every vague quote from a dev, every updated file path in Source 2, it all resets the damn copium cycle. But maybe... just maybe this time it's real. This time we WIN.
>>726029118the book is the one non-rumour, non-leak piece of evidence we have
>>726029163Alyx with bigger environments and better shaders. Look at the CS2 version of train.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqNUDqjKT_A
>flooded abandoned carparks with poison headcrab zombies>with those source 2 water effects where you can almost taste the fecal matter floating on the surface
>>726029368vile, vile vile
>>726029368>>726029271schizo
>>7260293682 wasn't dark and serious
>>726027906Desperation detected. Hopium administered.
>>726029394Actually a interactive VR sex scene with alyx (Gordon is 7" curiously uncut) with handholding had been datamined dont worry
yeah, I believe. I dont care if I get burn> I rather be dreaming of someone, than living alone
I'm curious as to the tone they'll take.HL:A was a little more "wacky" but not to a offensive degree ala Borderlands horseshit. Closer to Portal 2 in comedic chops.I think there's room for humor, as long as the immediate threat of "wtf Eli is alive now and Portal Storms are eating everything" remains the focus of the narrative. Whats the solution for the problem presented by the end of HL:A? Gman already said he won't poof the Combine off Earth, so we can't bargain with him. Maybe the Vortigaunts can force his hand?
it wont happenneverstop this delusion
I'll never stop believing.
>>726029487It was, at times. I don't expect 3 to only be dark 100% of the time or goofy 100% of the time.
>>726029573>It was, at times.When?
does anyone have a link the original hunt down the freeman trailer
>>726029161you forgot ricochet 2
>>726026186If it's fucking vr only again I'll be seething
>>726029629you didn't even play the first level of the fucking game you retarded tourist.
>>726029676https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ym1o-CdkA0Playdough character models
>>726029629Point Insertion, part of Ravenholm, Nova Prospekt, a lot of Episode 1, and a fair bit of Episode 2. Please don't play dumb.
>>726029542>HL:A was a little more "wacky"the difference with other bullshit that has this type of humour is that, when HL:A needs to get serious, it gets serious. It doesnt throw a "well, that was awkward" when stakes are getting higher
At this point the hype is so high i honestly dont even care if its true or not - i will get entertainment either wayIts false - I laugh at the meltdown over the fact that people got misled once againIts true - i jizz my fucking life out in excitement.Its a win-win scenario
>>726029542People talked about how wacky HLA was and I agree to some extent, but I feel like the devs are actually wise enough not to spoil the few serious moments it had, like the entire Vault sequence and the ending for example. So I still believe that they are aware enough not to make things too goofy.
>>726029768no the other oneyou know the one
>>726026186it better be the greatest thing in existence. it better be the second coming of Christ or else i'll be extremely disappointed.
>>726029712Datamines of vehicular gameplay and shifting gravity should give you some comfort.
>>726029362No VR titles, but it wouldn't surprise me if HL3 has support for VR play with the Frame. Would be pretty trivial to reuse Alyx code for VR hands/UI, and most/all of HL Alyx's versions of entities like doos fall back to the regular flatscreen behavior when not in VR, so you'd have some VR interactivity as well in VR modehandposes are even baked into most props you can pick up (or automatically handled via IK) so they wouldn't even have to make separate props for VR modeif not at launch, then perhaps a later update to the game
>>726029697To be fair that's a 2, same reason I didn't include blue shift 2 in the blue box
ALL IN ON HALF LIFE 3WEALTH AND HONOR TO THE VALVEDRONES
>>726029712they already said they weren't going to do that, many times at this point
>>726029629did you even play the game? ravenholm? the whole intro up until barney? the fucking playground with the children's voices? alyx saying goodbye to gordon as he rushes to stop breen? and that's just off the top of my head for HL2. Hell episode one has this shit;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipYOMnTwulo&t=4s
When can a nigga preorder the GabeCube?
Big day today, Freeman.
GORDON
where/when did this meme of gordon with the hope syringe emerge? It feels like something that's been around for ages but I only noticed it this week
Guys, check Gordon's VA twitter
>>726029932I honestly found this scene more comedic than it was intended to be
>>726026186is it fucked up that im honestly more excited for the existence of a source sdk base 2025 than i am about the actual game? the source 2 version of hammer is so kino and i want to use it outside of vr and counter strike
>>726029059fuck you

>>726029932horror half life has always been the best half life. everyone loves ravenholm the most. valve surely knows this shit. no way HL3 would be some wacky play-it-safe humor zoomer shit. if it is then it's going to bomb hard.

>>726030067>but what about S&Boxfacepunch cant even decide if they want to keep using hammer or switch to a retarded unity type of system. and their version of hammer 2 has been half broken for like 9 months with them only just now assigning some retarded teenager that never used hammer to fix it. anyone expecting that shit to be garrysmod 2 is insane
>>726030091https://voca.ro/1kESu5epWRye
>>726030172Its like everyone completely forgot about my nigga Jeff
>>726030263There's a poison headcrab zombie on the top floor of a house hidden behind some props where the game knows you'll go snooping for supplies.There's also one that stumbles out back to the house when you get to the bridge waiting for you when you come back out.
>>726030294>"Hey Gordon, wanna go for a drink?"Fuck that, let's go to freckle bitches.
>>726030172Almost every HL game has an obligatory horror chapter. It would be a shame if HL3 doesn't have one. Related to that I recall Gabe used to spout bullshit on how Episode 3 will be more focused on psychological horror. Hopefully whatever horror concept Valve was thinking of with Episode 3 will carry on to HL3.
Alyx but with gigantic off-model milkers

>>726030398how the fuck did i keep missing it on both in fucking VR of all things as well as normal
Alyx is now going with They/Them
I don't know about you but I'm ready to join Civil Protection just to get some decent copium.

Can we stop pretending that Laidlaw is a good writer?
I'm ready for some excellent horse gameplay
can we stop pretending that HL3 is not coming?
>>726030456what would you say half life one's 'horror chapter' is? I'd argue most of 'Unforeseen Consequences' and 'Office Complex' qualify.

>>726030673I think so too. The initial shock of the Resonance Cascade with most of the scientists turning into zombies is pretty horror-ish.
>>726030756It looks weirdly Dishonord-ish, interesting how it looped back
>>726030756Honestly I fuck with this. Horses (and arguably mules and donkeys) make some sense as useful synths.
>>726030601Laidlaw's fine. Half-Life 2's story problem comes from the fact that there's an infinitely more interesting and nuanced story barely hinted through little environmental details about the combine invasion and the g-man etc than the one the player sees on their playthrough where they spent 70% of the time on a damp sewer.
>>726026676>>726030765The Combine are deliberately trying to imprison G-Man. Somehow they were successful.
>>726030756>horse with its brain replaced by a gadgetthis is fucking sick I love the robotic-biological stuff Alyx has. Like rats being used as CPUs.
>>726030908They were successful because Gman let them take him. Specifically so he could hire Alyx and rewrite the timeline.
>>726030908They knew he'd get away anyway considering they let Alyx bring the Vault down.
>>726030765yet he wakes you up to smell the asses and blow up their Citaded. He's clearly working against their interests
>>726030847I like that black mesa (the remake) really leans into how fucked up that whole section is
>>726031045Working against their interests =/= wants them destroyed. Simple as.
>>726030756Someone made a model of it toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZPpb7t59WM
>>726030620
>>726030765>>726031045As the other anon says, ultimately his goals are unknowable, but I like to think that his plan involves deliberately luring the combine to earth in order to destroy or damage them in some way that can only be achieved by humanity
>What the hell are these things and why are they wearing science team uniforms?Was Barney stupid?
>>726026265not for the fist 5-10 years probably
>>726031045>yet he wakes you up to smell the assesi don't remember that scene. was that an SFM you watched
>>726031281in all fairness, he was just a security guard
>>726029712how many times does it have to be mentioned A member of the Steam Frame team denied that it has any VR content in development", via @UploadVR
the full model in the right place can make all the difference in the woooooooooorld
>>726030162protect her at all costs
>>726031281He's a bit thick but it's all above his pay grade.
Just like... old times...
>>726031281It's like the first 15 minutes of an alien invasion cut /ourguy/ a little slack
i kind of dont want it to be announced because hl3 is the only thing to look forward to anymore. sure there's gta 6 but that's already been announced. i seriously doubt there will be a title as mystical as half life 3 ever again.

>>726032375this is great but the expression on alyx's face completely ruins it
>>726032342Which one?

>>726032580>>726017813
>>726032375Why did they make Alyx some puerto rican named diego in this pic
>>726032579Skibidi Toilet
>>726032663skibidi... toilet? Doctor Freeman?
>>726032658because it's traced on top of a photograph
>>726026931When OP stops being a faggot.
>Collin is not alive to witness another Half Life gameI'm gonna do a Elliot and Moments with Heavy marathon for Christmashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZElzfDoWuE
>>726032375Alyx got hit with that Cali air
here's a leak: there will be a skibidi toilet easter egg in half life 3
>>726032658
>>726032856And Interloper
>>726032856>its a headcrab in a toilet bowlthat's all ya gettin'
>>726032624I actually don't mind their accents, but what I do mind is when they try and pretend to do another accent whilst theirs cannot help but slip out. English spoken with a slavic accent is often perfectly nice to listen to (e.g. father grigori) but when they try to do an american accent it just ends up sounding like something out of gay porn
there's a reference to HDTF in half life 3
I want the monkeys from the Ravenholm episode in HLX.
>>726032908Father Grigori doesn't sound eastern at all, at least not heavily.The ones that talk almost in the stereotypical slavnigger COMRADE I AM SERIOUSLY OF HOPINGS YOU DO NOT DO DHIS is amazingly disgusting.
>>726027516>with tyler mcnigger himself suggesting mid late november as the best guess I cant believe this retard has once again whipped people (other retards) into a frenzy.
>>726032989>this was nearly a real thingI mean, we know "xen gorilla" is a fucking thing so
>>726033102To be fair. Tyler is not a reliable source, but he gets his information from reliable sources. So when he made a stream yesterday and outright told people it's within the next few weeks he said it because he exchanged notes with all the insiders saying it's "soon but not at the game awards". And because of that I believe he's being honest.
>>726032825for what it's worth he never really appeared to be that big of a half life guy anyway. i take comfort in the fact that he passed right before the whole world started going to hell.
>>726033102I don't follow him much so I don't know why so many people seem to despise him, but I've listened to the evidence and it really doesn't seem to be the case at all. If anything the guy's just been stating facts about HLX being in development, which it is, whilst actively cautioning people against getting too hyped. The guy isn't whipping up shit, people are being whipped up into a frenzy because IT REALLY MIGHT BE HAPPENING.
>>726031203>>726030620Half-Lice
so was HL:A a pocket universe made just to fuck with Alyx (which means Gman was never in any danger or containment) or an actual event that was never referenced? chronologically?
>>726033265he was incredibly annoying from 2013 to 2018 and that caused people to rightfully bully him into submission
Who will be the first vtuber to play Half-Life 3?
>>726033283does this hurt the lice?
Half Life 3 is literally a Half Life.>every time a cope happens, the chances of a nothingburger is halved, but never reaches zero.
>>726033427yeah if you do that they Decay
>>726033372he's also gotten the spray bottle from valve's legal team a couple of times
>>726033368gman and the vortessence are both fifth dimensional and can fuck with linear timeit both happened after the events of ep 2 and before hl2, with gman using his abilities to pluck people out of the timeline
speaking of which Tylers new HLX video is meant to drop today or tomorrow so there'll be some cope for you to gorge on there
>>726033368HLA is Gman time-dimension fuckery that directly effected the ending of HL2 and nothing else.
>>726033368The first one. And the way you put is probably better than how anyone else has.Since she's gone immediately at the end of Episode 2, it means it was "Alyx Prime" somehow the entire time, rather than strict "time travel" fuckery.
Alyx is gonna still be the same Alyx rightshe's going to remember all the times we had rightshe's gonna kiss me right
>>726033372ah I see how that might've built up a negative impression in people's mindsHim being proven right by HLA must've been pretty interesting I imagine>>726033521qrd???? I've never heard about this lmao
>>726033813someone gave him the files for a leaked beta version of half life alyx and he played it on stream
>>726033769NoNoYes
>>726033265Hey Tyler, make sure to kill yourself on stream after you're proven wrong. Over ten years of you doing this shit.
i want to meet gman's employersi want more weird fucking aliens in generalgive me race y
What's your're oldest Half-Life funney pikture?
>>726033813Tyler famously was given a early build of HL Alyx which he dumbly streamed. Valve was QUICK to send him a letter saying they have a team of lawyers ready and waiting to destroy his ass if he doesn't delete the stream and the build on his computer which he quickly did. It's safe to say Tyler is blacklisted forever from Valve because of that stupid mistake.
>>726033895It's gonna happen even if he's right. His whole "career" is built off HL3 hype. What's he gonna report on when that's out? Deadlock? Nobody gives a shit. He's done.
>>726033769It would seem that it's the same Alyx, and the "pocket dimension" theory seems to make the most sense. Gman showed up, threw Alyx into his pocket dimension 5 years prior, and had HLA play out as a way to hire her. Now, the question is; does Gman or his employers really NEED consent for this? Or was this mission just a way to test her beforehand?
>>726033927this apparently
>>726028454>codename "TF" in the steamDB datamines for source 2 games is not a demoBro that game is many years away from complete they just started that shit.
>>726033908Gman's employers are Future Humanity who bootstrapped themselves into having God-tech by manipulating the timeline so that Black Mesa existed, ported the combine onto earth, and subsequently Portal and Time-travel tech was invented.
Can I kill Mossman? Oh please oh please let me kill Mossman.
>>726033927this one dates back to the jbmod days
FUCK OFF GEOFFFUCK OFF
>>726034061I think it's been well established that the Gman simultaneously cares a great deal about you "choosing" to do what he asks of you whilst also ensuring that you do not have any real choice at all. In HL1, He offers you the choice of becoming employed, whilst also telling you the alternative is death. In HL2 he actively says he is "choosing for you". And then in HLA he shows Alyx that her dad fucking dies unless she chooses what he wants. It's pretty interesting to me and I'm still unsure what his 'rules' are if any
>>726034304https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxlNDYUZk2A
>>726034304He just wants attention because he didn't get them to announce it at the game awards.
>half life 3 is going to be revealed before yandere simulator is finished
>>726033893>>726033983oh wow I didn't know thatthat's so fucking stupiddid he ever clarify why he did it? Did he somehow not realise that this would be a huge fucking no-no? Who actually gave him the build and in what capacity? In either case yeah that's pretty significantly damaged my perception of this guy
>>726034474>two half lifes and a gta before yandere simulator
>>726034381he didn't give shephard a choice in getting imprisoned, but he was also going against his employers' wishes by keeping him alive at all
>>726034452geoff is just trolling as per usual
>>726028678It would have to be stuff we know of though for games, because they update source 2 when developing any source 2 game. All we got is deadlock and HLX, anything else is too far out, I guess the TF2 MVM update?
I'm out of the loop, can someone explain what's going on?
>>726034686a quick scroll through the thread should answer your question
>>726034686ricochet 2
>>726034686Long story short we've known for years now a Half Life game has been in development since Alyx and we know it's not VR and we know it's going to be a Source 2 flagship release.This project has been revealed in the same code that elements of the new steam hardware stuff was also found in and also several valve employees can't keep their mouths shut about working for this project.
>>726034686half life 3 is getting announced within 2-3 weeks, confirmed by schreier, tom henderson, insidergaming, mcvicker (kek), gabefollower
>>726033927
>>726034686Half-Life 2: Episode 3 is going to be real soon.
>>726029368This image is referring to the old story that they canned in HLA, they did a big rewrite.
>>7260348932 weeks to flatten the lambda?
If the 18th comes and goes and nothing happens then what?
lol new Black Mesa Blue Shift update, we did it guys here's your announcementhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRUh5r74kTM
>>726035085most sources are saying 2-3 weeks, not the 18th
>>726035085people are saying the 18th for some reason but we have no reason to think so. we just know it'll be "soon". If the 18th comes and goes it doesn't change anything.
>>726035085Then we move on and then get hyped for thr 19th November because that is when it will be actually announced
>>726035085to me not much (i was the guy that spread the 18th rumor on /v/ 2 months ago) so the date is just pure bullshit, if it does not happen by january then i would be slightly worried
The Frame existing and all of this rumormongering about HL3 is 100% a ploy to get the attention of people who have yet to buy a VR headset and hated Alyx's gimmick - but also will 100% get the mythical "Jack-of-all-trades" one to play Alyx/HL3 if HL3 confirmed - so they'll consider grabbing the first VR setup of their lifet's also 100% what I'll do if HL3 IS confirmed, and probably what everyone else here will do, and Valve knows it. lel. There's been big retard fights over whether it was okay to own a PS4 for Bloodborne up until last year, and if this all happens, the Frame is officially the>$600 HL3 controller>HL3dset>waggle Gabemote to Gordanand others soon to come...
>>726035085Some dude eats his jeans.
>>726035085I don't get why people claim it's on the 18th. The 19th would make more sense, due to it being the anniversary of Half-Life.
>>726034686Five years ago they made a half-life prequel that ended with a direct teaser of gordon picking up the crowbar againThey have been working on the game non-stop since then as supported by engine updates, and it's going to be revealed as a flagship title for their new console.
announce it at the game awards
full source 2 sdk pls
>>726035269The theory is entirely based off the fact there is a gap starting at the 18th where there are no steam sales or events. That's literally it.I think it will happen next week or the week after. But no specific dates.
>>726034686There's a lot of rumors from credible sources of HL3 being announced in December.This would also line up really well to release alongside the new Valve console early next year based on Valve usually giving a release date 3 or 4 months away from a new game announcement.
>>726035173There was a 4chan "leak" that said the 18th. It might have been true at the time, but yeah the most recent and reliable info is explicitly saying not the 18th.
>>726026186
>>726034203>Gman's employers are Future Humanity It's actually Valve, listen to the Vort speech from HL:A, in essence view it as comic 4th wall breaking.
>>726035426yep, that's me
I'm okay with them redesigning Alyx's face a bit but idk maybe make her look more like this and less like a weird old womanPart of modern games isn't just their obsession with "ethnic" characters, it's making them weird and ugly too. I know I know we're all racist here but no browns are not necessarily ugly.
>>726035227https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/719963259/#719963259this was you?
Will /ourgirl/ get a cameo?

>>726035367>Hoooh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away you're coming right to me?>>I can't put this can in the bin if I don't come closer
>>726035661why does chel have stubble? (this is a rhetorical question, I know why)
I'm tired of this shit and all you faggots. All those false hopes and bait wore me out over the years. Fuck Gabe, fuck Valve, and fuck Half Life.NEH
>>726035661No. We don't want that morbidly obese piglet in our half life game.
This exact same thing has been happening every year or so since 2005. It's time to let it go, anons.
>>726034526https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3IzI9EX6Aw
>>726035727No. This one's different. For real this time.
>>726035085Some will commit suicideSome will cope and say the announcement meant Dec 18th or something "before Christmas"Others will act in dismay but then once again get on the hype train by next year due to whatever drivel that Tyler McVicker is spouting and continue going down a spiral of insanity.
>>726035727baseless speculation is not the same thing as everybody with insider knowledge explicitly saying it's happening and multiple valve employees letting it slip
>>726035431Might add on this, to fully understand what i mean you would have to lurk and understand Valve' early game concepts such as Proteus where you play a character Librarian who bassically manages dimensions/universes, supposedly also one of those dimensions is all the Valve games in your Steam Library, meta/4th wall shit..
It's happening this time.Look, I know we all said the same thing because of the same datamines last year at TGA and we got fucked with the most boring 4 hours humanly possible but this time its definitely happening.And if it doesn't its MIKES FAULT.
>>726035807Yeah, and I was Nikola Tesla in my previous life.
Today I will remind themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0qZTS38cjw
>>726034686Hl3 has been in the works since before development on Alyx ended and it will be announced by the end of this year. Some people think it's being announced within the next few days + the hardware reveal which is why there has been an uptick in threads
>>726035819
>new Half Life game gets announced in December 2025>Half Life 3>game is actually so technologically advanced no console or computer setup can run it>Valve announces the Brain-Interface-Box for you to enjoy the next HL game in a way nobody ever got to experience gaming, putting your consciousness inside the game>for the low price of $2000 + a copy of HL3So this is what Gray Newell did before he left the video game dev sector and became a professional racing driver
>>726035921this was so fucking funny I hope the big reveal is deadlock so we can get another heartbreaker
>>726035924erm... actually chud, they included an entire Half-Life 3 teaser at the end of Alyx because... ummm
>>726035552it helps that alyx and eli are likable characters with good VA too
>>726035552Seriously, what's up with making specifically the women weird and ugly lookingIn my real day to day life the average woman I meet is normal looking and not offputting. What's the deal? Also mysteriously all the men in games are fine.
>>726026186its gonna be ricochet 2 in VRsave this post
>>726035861My bad, it's not Proteus, it's Prospero.
>>726036067jsXanatos will finally have his wish. Ricochet 2 and the GMAN squad will make a comeback.
>>726036067I wouldn't be angry.
>>726035861>ProteusProspero
Playing through HL2 right now, I just got to Eli after the airboat. What percent am I through the game?

>>726035928>no argumentI accept your concession.

>>72603615220%
Hello Mister Gaben.Looks like you're running late!
>>726036001>Seriously, what's up with making specifically the women weird and ugly lookingit's probably less of a conspiracy and just a natural effect of more women working on games.women are hypercompetitive and actively denigrate women they see as "better-looking" than themselves. women don't want to draw beautiful women unless it's like, THEIR avatar or something. Having a female protagonist be beautiful is not an inspiring thing to them in the same way a ripped shredded gigamale protagonist is to men. It's an angering thing, all they can think is "she's so pretty... what a bitch"FOR THE MOST PART. I'm merely generalizing. Tomboyish women (especially the ones who were in the gaming industry EARLY and were hired more on merit) care less about this.
>>726026186i love air exchange

>>726036420I wish he'd stop being cryptic and just post his HLXfiles.Daddy needs his datamines.
When it doesn’t happen, everyone in this thread needs to kys, including me
>>726036336To add, I would say that original Alyx and the example woman (Sade) are prettier than most white women, despite being brown. It's definitely within the realm of possibility, and making every female character ugly is not "bringing female characters into more realistic proportions"

>>726036542I mean, I'm sorry, but this just CANT be it for HL3 bro. It's at "just fuck my shit up" levels.
>>726036598Thought it looked familiar, thanks
>>726036737It's a VR model anon you're never meant to see. Of course it's half-assed.
>>726036737https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJsKDk3RANMUnfinished model.
>>726036737i get that war ages you pretty fast, but she's supposed to be 19 here.
This is all happening because of you game developers!
>>726026186I gave up in 2017 and I don't plan on giving in to the hype any time soon, especially not from the same greasy fat fucker who is wrong 99% of the time.I wish my gf would stop trying to hype me up with false hope.
>>726036892Well, no. The model is supposed to be Episode 2 Alyx, because Young Alyx is looking at her older version from EP2 scene with Eli. But it is unfinished anyways
>>726036840>10+ years development time>the face for the main character>forgot to finish itReally, Valve?

>>726026186Why is this thread still up?
>>726037051>never see the model except for in the dark>this version of the game where the model is used was only developed in 3-ish years
Don't go too crazy and hyped. Be realistic. but it's being announced before the end of this year
>>726037134Because hope
>>726037134it will continue to be up anon
Make sure to apologise to and thank Tyler when HLX gets announced
>>726037051The model was used for a 30 second scene where you barely see her face. if not for that scene there would be NO MODEL of her, because the game is in fucking first person VR.
>>726037134Yeah, this isn't /pol/ shitflinging, eceleb gossip, blacked porn or AIslop! This video game doesn't belong on /v/ - Random!!!!

>>726029368>Narrative has always been one of Valve's greatest strengths, especially with Half-Life games.Narrative clearly isn't one of their greatest strengths if Gabe Newell felt he couldn't release a Half-Life game unless it pushed some new mechanic/tech in gaming. Gabe himself knows Half-Life's story isn't good enough on it's own.

>>726037828It's just a fact anon. We've had dozens of very fun immersive sci-fi shooters, many of which absolutely MOG the entire HL series since HL2 dropped. It would have to somehow be better than ALL of them and feel revolutionary the same way HL2's physics puzzles felt revolutionary. Anything else and it's a SERIOUS case of >"who gives a fuck"For the broader audience.
>>726038059Truth nukeValve drones exist in their own bubble, lot of them mentally ill source engine modders putting up with that outdated POS for 10, 15, 20 years
>>726038059>We've had dozens of very fun immersive sci-fi shooters, many of which absolutely MOG the entire HL series since HL2 droppedName 10 games

>>726038059name one lol
>>726038059Name one that has a fanbase as dedicated as HL does.
>>726038059>We've had dozens of very fun immersive sci-fi shooters, many of which absolutely MOG the entire HL series since HL2 droppedWe've had Crysis 1 and... uhh...

>>726030485I really don't think he has any passion in making Freeman's Mind anymore. I mean he's done it I think since when EP 2 did come out if I remember correctly. I imagine he's burnt out on it. I rather him just drop it after getting through Ravenholm rather then forcing himself to keep going.
Another slim-thick Blasian encounter - this time at White Forest. Peanut butter complexion, fully modeled cervix. Skull straight from the pre-7 Hour War anthropology books. At least 20% ghost hominid DNA. What a specimen! My BWC shed a single tear... Employers, forgive me. Gman need choccy.

will hl3 come out before the labubu movie
Don't care. Finish Artifact Foundry.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

>>726038384I'm fucking crying anon this is brilliant
It's real this time???
>>726026186so what is it gonna be? Half Life 2 Episode 3 or Half Life 3?
>>726038678not bad games, but none of those surpass Half-Life games
>>726038725Half Life 3 Episode 1Episode 2 never comes out
>>726038629the minecraft movie rights were sold in 2014 and took 11 years to surface, miraculously the subject matter was still relevantthe labubu movie won't get made
>>726038384
>>726038678>listing immersive sims while talking about straight up FPS games>Outer Wilds, which isn't an FPS game at allCome the fuck on now.
>>726038678Metro is probably the best series you've mentioned there but even still none of these can compare to the success, influence, and impact that the half life series had anon.
>>726038743They absolutely do. HL games have dogshit gunplay and a boring story. I've tried to get into them. They fucking suck nowdays. They sucked back in 2007 too. You can be a fan or whatever but you need to uinderstand that your fandom stems from a time and a place and possibly from years of edging to HL3 news.
>>726038678bait list, surely?
>>726038832Immersive Scifi game in First Person anon. Are you saying HL is more fun because you get to shoot those wet noodle guns at boring Combine mooks? >>726038890>compare to the success, influence, and impact That's all nice but doesn't make the games that good or the general interest in the series that high.
>>726038891>comes into a half-life thread>complains that the games are bad>reveals that he simply got filteredyou faggots used to actually try
Look, this will get me in lots of trouble but all I'm going to say is to expect a complete remaster of 1 and 2 bundled with 3
>>726038384fucking kekmore of this shit please this is brilliant
>>726039014I got filtered by boredom. I made it to the legendary Ravenholm and was absolutely underwhelmed in the extreme, closed the game and never thought about it again. Game. Fucking. Sucks.
What did he mean by this.
>>726038995have you played any of the games anon? they're basically the benchmark for a good story driven sci fi FPS, something which NONE of your listed games can claim to be. More importantly, your list is retarded and many of the games simply can't be compared to half life anyway.
>>726038995Don't try to move the goalposts. You can make arguments for a lot of these others but you cannot claim Outer Wilds is an FPS, and you did claim>dozens of very fun immersive sci-fi shootersSHOOTERS you said.
>>726039081F I L T E R E DILTERED
>>726039081
Am playing Black Mesa for the first time and having fun, I just hit Xen, will finish today
>>726039143Yes and they fucking suck. I fell off HL2 at the "best part". Why the fuck do you guys dickride them? They did it first, but it was never true they they've done it BEST. >>726039168I still listed more than 10 games anon. Suck my cock.
>>726026186>half life 3 finally releases...>it ends on ANOTHER cliffhanger
>>726039238I'm sorry anon, I think you meant to say you just reached James Cameron's Avatar: the way of Xen
>>726038384AHHAAHHAHAHAI WAS JUST SHITPOSTING I CANT BELIEVE THIS
to this day no other engine has a satisfying implementation of physics like source does
>>726039238>I just hit Xen,oh no
>>726026265Yes, they definitely waited to announce it and lined it up with the Steam machine to put it on console
What would HL3 even about? the game perfectly wraped up in HL2 ep2
>>726039252>stalker>stalker 2>stalker 3>stalker 4truly a wealth of linear science fiction shooter games out there
>>726039313i neveer really played 1, I thought black mesa they tried to make xen a little better
>>726039339did you play HL2 ep2?
>>726039360it starts out good but the final stretch goes on for way too long
will the new fluid mechanics give advanced cum physics for source 2 filmmaker?
HL2 EP2 is my favorite because it feels most like going around my home country
I hope they lean into immersive sim elements a little bit more. Not fully open world RPG of course, but if it’s just an old school linear FPS with water physics I will admittedly be a little disappointed.
>>726039439maybe I'll just no clip and just look at shit to speed through it so I can get to 2 with RTX shit
>>726039252>dozens>more than 10Dozen = 12Dozens = multiple sets of 12, the lowest number that "dozens" could be is 24 (two sets of a dozen)Would you like to try again?
>>726039339> the game perfectly wraped up in HL2 ep2>perfectly>wraoed uphuh? 8/8 for making me reply.
>>726039313Xen is actually good in black mesa
>>726026186Games Awards Dec.11thIm kind of wondering if it will be a spin off halflife. Survivalcraft with vehicle and a sandbox to play around in. But not a traditional hl3. Just you and some resistance fighters with a base and killing stuff
>>726039498GORDON YOU MUST CUMFLATE MY BLASIAN DAUGHTER RIGHT NOW
>>726039360it's not bad despite what many anons here will say, in terms of gameplay it's objectively better than the original. that said: 1. It has a very different, more "realistic" approach to what Xen looks like, compared to the much more surreal original (see picrel), I still really like the direction they took but it's arguably not as insanely creative and "weird" as the original is2. the interloper chapter goes on way too longeverything else about it I think is awesome.>>726039238Glad to see someone else enjoying it, I mentioned this in the other thread but black mesa is my personal favourite game in the series (if you accept it as part of the series) overall even if I recognise it's only building on the foundation made possible by HL1.
>>726039353>linearNever mentioned as a criteria and linearity is usually considered an objectively negative trait nowadays. Usually if you make something quite linear, people expect you to package it with a muliplayer mode or something. Even then Metro 2033 is as linear as HL and mogs it so fucking hard it's crazy. >>726039569I'm not going to jump through endless hoops while you cope and defend those mediocre but seminal games. Half-life was influential and "first" and that's it. That's it's main strength other than it's B tier sci-fi plot about a physicist fighting aliens in a dystopia.
>>726039626it's way too long
Gabe Follower just tweeted he has no fucking clue where the "next week" theorists are coming from. He thinks it's still 2025 but he's telling people to lower their expectations.
>>726039115whey are they pussying out on the last stretch?
>>726039660>high impact sexual violence activated
>>726039667forgot picrel-my point with this image is that although Black Mesa's xen is great, nothing in it comes close to feeling as truly alien as stuff like this does in the original. It's still a far better experience overall, but in this specific respect I back the original.
>>726039780I don't think gabe follower was ever on the "next few weeks" bandwagon
someone make a new thread, "its over" version
My Guess? Half Life 2 Source 2 remaster
>>726039684look man you didn't like half life, cool, good for you. you're in a thread filled with people getting hyped for the next half life game. don't act surprised when everyone calls you a faggot for it lmao
>>726039536Same. I like the imsim stuff in votv. Or simple things like pacific drive's vehicle bits you can press.Also hope to see more creative enemy or SCP type shit.Vortigaunts and strange creatures were basically coming out of The Mist. But now vorts are friend aliens and weve seen enough antlions. Gimme some crazy shit.
>>726039891Half Life 2 Source 2it's the same everything, just running on Source 2
i think it's pretty fucking cool that even after all these years people can still get whipped up into a frenzy for half life
>>726039895Get hype! Seriously! But it won't:>Break the internetor>Be GOTYor>Start a new HL era of popularity and game releasesI really fucking despise the overhyping HL faggots do.
>>726039684I never played through black mesa because the movement and bhop felt different than the original which felt fun and faster. Can you post black mesa Xen?

>>726039115My copium reserves are all topped up and I'm plugged in. They will last me till the end of the year
>>726029368I'll take it as bleak as possible. Give me pure misery porn, no marvel shit. I want no hope for humanity.
