le sigh when @Blackquill won't edit our lore because hl:alyx changes """nothing""" :(

He didn't say that at all lmao

He just said there's no need for huge sweeping faction reforms, and he's right. Fundamentally it changes little.

CWU honestly shouldn't be cramming people into forced workshifts anymore if they can butcher down a field of antlions to make their supplies in some fabricator.

The fabricators feel a lot more like a "on-site" sort of deal than something you'd use to literally supply and manage an entire city. Especially given you only see them in areas OTA presumably have extended deployments/setups in the QZ.

Also it mainly handles weapons and shit.

Jaycie in Twitter is going through the game and finding interesting stuff, for example, this fucking headcrab

Just looks like a poison one, which is odd considering fast headcrabs in hl2 have a distinct colour - they kept the legs though which makes me think the colour was an intentional design choice

looks a cross between a fast one and a poison one

it's quite small, but i found the way windows break really cool. they actually shatter and crack, which is a massive step up from the old 'put a texture on the window and spawn particles when you break it' from source.

update on my glass breaking antics: today i found out that i could actually pick up chunks of the broken window, even going so far as to pick up large chunks of the window that weren't fully shattered. i also found out i could shove lead pipes through glass and break it.

I think there was like a contraption or a train where there was two dead advisors in Half-Life Alyx, can someone give me a picture or better a video with a timeframe to it?

[doublepost=1585245226][/doublepost]Also, notice how in intro, Eli says that they have captured a Combine Mini-Reactor. Just confirms how it's a great source of energy, in such a small contraption.
[doublepost=1585245282][/doublepost]Also also notice how fast combine dropships fly, and how different combine helicopters sound

you know, when i first started the game i thought 'huh why is everyone so scared of headcrabs they don't seem too bad, can easily kill them with my pistol'

THEN I MET THE FFFFUCKING ARMORED HEADCRABS fuck these guys they're fucking terrifying and very hard to fight

fuck armored headcrabs all my homies hate armored headcrabs

also dunno if it's just me but i swear standard headcrabs are much easier to fight when you first meet them then get a lot harder? they get faster and jump a lot more which makes so much more scary

why would you change the lore when hl:alyx is set years before your version of hl2 anyways
