Just started playing a free Half-Life mod called "Half-Life: Field Intensity"; This was released 5 days ago, and apparently this has been under development for 13 years (on and off since 2009) and should play similar to Opposing Force (you play as a corporal among the soldiers assaulting Black Mesa facility) 
It's free on moddb https://www.moddb.com/mods/field-intensity/



 
 
 

Cinematic gameplay
 

Finally saw Ran recently as well and it blew my socks off. Phenomenal movie

Finally saw Ran recently as well and it blew my socks off. Phenomenal movie

Two months ago I became a dad for the first time. Mom was amazing and I can't be more proud of her and baby is doing really well. Sleep was hard at first but we're finally getting some kind of routine going and I'm getting maybe 4-6 hours of sleep at night which isn't bad and since I'm working from home it's not really an issue, no danger of me falling asleep at the wheel driving into the office!
We've also been in our house for a year now, decorated thoughout and had the garden completely redeveloped so we can spend time in it and our little one with have somewhere to play outside when he's older.
To top it all off I just got promoted to Assistant Lead Level Designer at Rebellion. I would never had imagined I'd get to a leadership role when I joined the industry just under 10 years ago and young me would never have thought I'd even get into the industry!
Fair to say I'm pretty happy with life at the moment... just wish I had a bit more time for some games ?

You can just watch it. My gf didn't know anything about Dune and had no problem understanding anything and loved the movie. 
Highly recommend the books though! And the David Lynch movie has a special place in my heart despite being a pretty flawed movie. First half of it is gold

Stay away/limit yourself from social media
Start going to the gym. I go 4 times a week. It is THE difference maker. Plus who doesn't like being jacked? I clap cheeks with the lights on.
Drink lots of water. It flushes all the shit out of your system.
Don't get addicted to drugs/substances as a way to escape your problems/emotions.
Talk to your mother/father/family more.
Take 5HTP before bed (it helps level serotonin, I take it every night).
Eat proper food. Not KFC. Not Maccy D's. Not sugar. Not takeaways. Eat shit, feel like shit. Enjoy in moderation.
Don't force yourself to do things that used to make you happy. I lost all interest in games over lockdown. Making them was bad enough, it just made me miserable sitting in my office everyday staring at a screen. Take a break. I'm now currently enjoying D2 Resurrected.
Read before bed, put down the electronics an hour before you sleep.
Go for walks. I like to go for a walk almost every night. Assuming it isn't raining, welsh weather.
Listen to lots of music. I combine this with walking.
Ditch the porn. Holy shit if I was 17 today I'd be a fucking mess with how easily you can come across tits and ass. Just scrolling through instagram today my teenage head would explode. Fuck that shit. It is going to fuck up a generation of guys.

More to be shown soon. Here's a tiny sneak peek of the bombsite.

DUNC was phenomenal!
I also love the callout to the Dune strategy games when they showed the spice silos

Forgot there was a thread about this, movie was incredible. Very close to how it played out in my head reading the books and the grand scale of everything was a great way of showing the larger scale of politics and control the books go about in detail without having to tell the viewer. 
Also Spice silos! I don't recall those being in the book. New Dune strategy game plz

Between 1990 and 1996 i lived in a house together with my family and it was the period of my life that i remember most fondly. 
We got a Super Nintendo while we lived there and after my mother and step-father broke up and we sold the house life kind of went spiraling downwards. By 2004 My grandmother and grandfather died of cancer, my father had commited suicide and my mother started abusing heavy drugs. 
All i ever really wanted was to find the same stability and family-life i had as a kid. 
My kids mother (we were together between 2004 and 2012) destroyed my hope for women but i got two amazing kids out of that relationship. 
I met a woman through internet after years of terrible dates and extremly low self-esteem. I remember thinking when i first saw her that "she is waaay out of my League". Fast forward and this weekend we moved into a house, on the same street i grew up on. I would never have dreamt of this in a million years and i get all teared up watching my daughters playing Sim City on the SNES mini. 
Sorry for the rant but i never thought a game i played as a kid could make me feel this way today. 

I'm closing this thread as it has outlived its initial usefulness and has been reduced to mostly personal attacks and misinformation, neither of which have a place on Mapcore.
If any mods disagree with my decision feel free to open up a discussion in the Staff section of the forum.

It's weird how that works. Suffering a deadly thrombosis from a vaccine somehow feels scarier than getting covid.
I dont know how others feel about this but somehow in my head I always thought if I get covid I won't get a severe case. However when I hear about vaccination side effects I somehow assume I'll be among the people getting them.
In reality the virus leaves you with a much higher chance of thrombosis than the vaccine does. So even when you don't consider all the other potential harms of an infection, getting the vaccine still comes out on top.
Luckily most of my friends and my entire close family are vaccinated now. Seems like Covid will eventually turn into another seasonal respiratory disease we just have to live with but at least we will be pretty well protected from severe cases and long term harm.
I just wish we did a better job with reasonable measures for public events and spaces. The infrastructure for testing and vaccination is pretty good now. Both seem like great measures to reduce risk from larger gatherings, especially when used together.
But somehow most official restrictions still target minimum distance or number of people per amount of space. In my experience those rules are often poorly enforced if at all and given the number of people I see disregarding even personal space let alone 1.5 meters of distance, I doubt their efficiency is very high.
Wouldn't mind sitting right next to vaccinated and or tested people in a restaurant again but I don't feel very safe sitting with people of unknown status that can't even manage to pull a face mask over their breathing holes.

Not a personal thing. I just want to respond to those points because they are dumb.
This says nothing about how safe or effective the vaccine is. Technology is improving and so are vaccines. "Newer" technologies like mRNA vaccines have been in research for decades and were a technology that would have come up with or without covid. Covid simply gave mRNA vaccines the reason, money and tons of test and control cases to quickly produce products from an already existing tech.
Sure you always want to be cautious with new technologies. That is why the covid vaccines have undergone big trials like any other vaccine does. That is why the vaccinated population is being monitored for (long term) side effects. That is why when thrombosis was discovered as a possible side effect many countries temporarily stopped using AstraZeneca until the risk could be further quantified.
"it's not a regular vaccine" might sound scary, but it is a terrible reason to dismiss the vaccine, because it is not founded on actual risks or benefits but simply on the gut instinct of "new = bad".

 
Several doctors are telling me I can lose 50 pounds in 2 weeks if I believe everything I see.
The long term effects of covid are not well known either, but what we know paints a clear picture of what is called "long covid". It can leave you physically and mentally impaired and in rehab for many months after the infection has cleared. Long covid seemingly gets much more likely if you have a severe case of covid and / or end up in the hospital / ICU.

The vaccines have no documented effects comparable to long covid. They protect very well against severe cases and going to the ICU. Getting the vaccine will very likely vastly reduce your risk of suffering long term effects from this pandemic.

Again speculating that a new thing might have bad long term effects weighs with no real data to back that up weighs in very poorly against the actual, well documented risks and benefits of the deases and the vaccines.
 
Source? There is no real data or evidence to believe in this. It's purely speculative. Personally I would find this point a lot scarier if it wasn't mostly perpetuated by far right groups and the mouth breathers that reject wearing a face mask in tight, crowded spaces during a pandemic.
Your freedom ends where another persons freedom begins. The right to a healthy body and life weighs higher than the right to not take basic measures to prevent dangerous diseases during a pandemic.
No-one should be forced to get the vaccine. However if your personal decisions are a danger to other peoples health, you should draw the according consequences to your actions and not go anywhere where many people meet without at least getting tested first. And the state should be enforcing this because people can't even be trusted with wearing a face mask in a crowded tram during a deadly pandemic.

you have the right not to get vaccinated but that choice doesn't deserve any respect lmao
its not the big pandora's box you think it is. We live in a society. You don't want to get vaccinated and do the barest minimum effort to help protect the people around you? Maybe you don't get to go to the restaurant then.

This sounds insane and would be huge news if true. all I can find about it is a comment taken out of context and spun into fearmongering by conservative pundits (of course).
Might be worth reassessing where you get your "news"
 
EDIT: also, please don't derail the thread with conspiracy stuff guys. There's EOT for that
