:It doesn't necessarily have to be open world as is currently used these days. The OG Doom isn't exactly linear, but also isn't open world in any sense. Remove the loading times between levels and it would be open world in the way that term was originally used. The desirable aspect of an open world, for me, has more to do with the continuity of the play space than how games calling themselves open world games are designed. Free to explore the map without it just being a series of hallways with only one actual path and maybe 1 dead end per fork where they stick a "secret" or treasure.

It just works like the way Skyrim VR just works or will it make HL2 the same kind of experience as HL: Alyx?
I'm not sure if people looking for something laid out like Twitter or other microblogging sites would necessarily move to Lemmy, which is more like a forum. The activities on any social media may be largely the same, but presentation matters a lot.
To me, Lemmy and other forum style SM is like going to a bar and finding people to have a conversation, where as Twitter/BlueSky/Mastodon/etc are like standing on a street corner and just yelling random thoughts.
If they appeared with guns, wouldn't the robodogs also be strapped?
Personally, I don't like the fact that every team-based video game uses ELO, a system designed for a 1 on 1 game, to determine an individual's skill.
Linear, set-piece story-telling.
Copping out of an obligation?
Dude, not finishing the story and leaving us all on a cliffhanger for seventeen fucking years and then giving this as an excuse is the real cop out.
Looking back, I actually don't like what Half-Life did to the genre. It didn't push it forward; it made everything after a linear, set-piece experience with minimal replay value. It might have been different back in the day, but it wasn't something I had hoped other developers clung to like they did.
How about we work to change how the patent office operates? I think it's ridiculous you can get a patent for a thing that doesn't actually fucking exist, among many other really stupid things they approve or deny.
If people moving from one corpo owned platform to another corpo owned platform gives you hope for the future of the internet: You haven't been paying attention to the history of the internet at all.
Once they have critical mass, the enshittification for profit will begin a new.
You seem to be confusing a totally different issue for the situation in the post here. Do you genuinely think a kid pranking a suicide that disrupts the class doesn't deserve punishment because other kids completely removed from this particular scenario might actually be depressed and suicidal? Because that's asinine.
That's the difference; does the mod allow interaction with the world like Alyx, or is it just you're there, but still using basic 2D controls to manipulate shit (press E to use a door instead of grabbing the handle and pushing/pulling)?
