In my homelab I have Debian VMs originally set up with Debian 6 in 2011 which were upgraded another 6 major releases to now Debian 12 over the years.
When I think about Debian I always get a very warm cozy feeling.
And you’re saying there’s no difference between playing Black Mesa today vs playing Half life today, and therefore he might as well start out with Black Mesa?
Or what is the meaning of your reply?
Hard disagree. Games like Half life have a huge historical value for their impact. Playing the original is worth it. Especially if one takes the medium itself seriously.
You wouldn’t say an original movie and a 22 years younger remake are “the same”, right?
I think you’re playing dumb with me.
Love the Wikipedia link btw.
I’ve played Black Mesa in its early access phase already and then later on again when they released Xen.
If he never played the original I think it’s good he starts with it. Black Mess is great, but the original Half Life has a certain historical value (and is still a great game).
Came to give AirVPN a shoutout too. Been with them since 7 years. Using both their client and native wireguard kernel module. Very happy.
