Oh, I have managed to pass that section, thankfully.

My most recent death (before I decided to take a break from HL2 for a few hours or so) involves the section where you leave the airboat after a gate closes off the path you're supposed to take. Basically, general screwing around in the middle of a gunfight (mainly trying to kill enemies with grenades even though I had no cover and had plenty of ammo for my guns) left me at single-digit health. By the time I switched to a gun, I had 7 health. By the time I finished the fight, I had 1 health point.

Then the chopper thing with the machinegun caught me.

Half Life 2 again.

Does it count as dying if you never lived in the first place?

...


.....Bruh.

*hits blunt*

Sometimes I shudder to think about what I'd be like if/when I do try marijuana. I fear I'd reach staggeringly greater depths of pissant philosophy than ever before and end up imploding into a Socratic-Epicurean Gluon Anomaly that would eradicate all meaning of life as we know it.

Most likely you’ll just end up a giggling fool, enjoying the mellow.

Get my uncle drunk. He'll tell you all about his pot theory.

The TL;DR of his story is that he was fucking stupid in college. He took pot and underflowed into a genius.

I have a pot theory. My theory is that it's black.


Anyways, admin-observer Dorkwit McMurder-Suicide has now been officially made an admin. And since no other admin seems to ever show up for Terry, I guess he's gonna be the sole/primary power figure for the server from now on.

Good to know.

"Philosophopocalypse" is a new favourite word of mine.
Make it happen! Yes, I added an extra syllable or three for effect, what of it?

"Philosophopocalypse"

Should be a wrestling game featuring famous philosophers as the fighters.

Socrates puts Locke into a DDT or some shit.

Rafflesia boss at the end of the jungle. Got its health around 50%, then it started healing for more damage I can deal. Normally, cramming poison into it is what I'd do for a boss like this, except Rafflesia absorbs poison damage. Burn would work, except it keeps summoning minions that cast Cloudburst, causing Wet on everything(which overrides Burn and reduces fire damage). It doesn't help that every single minion is one of the game's most irritating enemy: in addition to the water flower, it summons one that can heal, one that poisons, and most dangerously, one that can cause multi-turn Stuns on the entire party(protip: Wet also increases electric damage as well).

Epic Battle Fantasy 4.

[AzyWng]

I can't believe I would be scared by headcrabs of all things, but I am now.

The black headcrabs drop your HP to 1, then your suit has to administer an antidote to the neurotoxin that reduced your HP so much.

The headcrab-filled mines are what I'm stuck on right now.

Half-Life 2

They're annoying little spooks, that's for sure, with their rippling, hairy, arachnoid little bodies... But, funnily enough, the poison headcrabs are completely harmless by themselves. They cannot hurt you outside of the neurotoxin, which can't kill you, and the antidote heals you up to whatever health you had before getting neuro'd.

A combination of black headcrabs and fast headcrabs, however...  Now THAT can be dangerous.

Get A Life was one of the mods recommended by both PCgamer and Rock Paper Shotgun.

I didn't know a whole lot about the mod going in aside from "your character may be a badass, but they're a badass that gets crippled limbs" a la Fallout.

Among the things I didn't know?

Spiders.

Very large spiders appear in the game as enemies, and seem to replace the headcrabs.

While it's not quite a death, it's... harrowing nonetheless.

Get A Life, a mod for Half-Life 2.

[SOLDIER First]

Exiting through a door to escape enemies doesn’t work when, despite being a frighteningly short but still appreciable distance behind you, these enemies manage to spawn IN FRONT OF you as soon as you load inside the building you entered.

It doesn’t work twice as much when these enemies are Super Mutant Suiciders.

Fallout 4

[Rolan7]

Haha, yesterday I noticed that *Oblivion* does a surprisingly good job with that delay!  I'm pretty sure it was worse in FO:NV and Skyrim, with people teleporting with you if they were at all nearby.

A suicider though, that's just egregious XD

@AzyWing
Huh, I don't think I ever tried a HL2 mod that wasn't a total conversion.  That does sound harrowing, though...  I can only imagine Ravenholm, heh.
CK2 is pretty weird these days, heh.  My character did pretty well as a Hermetic, but as a vassal trade republic?  He got three of the "lose 50 gold" events and known of the "gain 50 gold", keeping him from starting the mansion upgrade.  He seduced 3 women for a total of 5 legitimized sons, but three died to one incident of camp fever, despite a 19-learning physician.

Then Death arrived dressed as a nun and beat him at chess.  The hell?  He was 25, screw that I'm restarting heh.

Crusader Kings 2

[Xardalas]

So.....I may have spent about six hours designing a lovely, well thought out stealth jump ship. Painstakingly designed so it can remain in a permanent cloak and have radar and anti-lock on capabilities. I may have forgotten to disable the cloak when I logged out. I may have spawned outside of my ship. I may have completely lost a entire fucking starship in space because I can't penetrate it's cloaking and locate it. I mean, I know it's SOMEWHERE within 40 KM's of my base. But yeah....

...Yeah, sucks when crap like that happens, man. If you're not on multiplayer, admin mode yourself a new one? If you are, maybe ask an admin to teleport you to that ship. They should be able to do that.

How is SM development going on right now? Is stuff actually happening still, or?
