[@arrowtongue]

@Ádám Vörös that just isn't true though, it makes no sense for that to be allowed at all and isn't how the game works

[@arrowtongue]

@Ádám Vörös that's due to the fact that saves keep the status of the commands on the server, without updating the check to see if you can get achievements or not

Apparently, the CP who says "pick up that can" is basically helping you, because if you hear his talking with subtiles, he talks about like, citizen compliance, and in HL2 lore, citizen compliance actually gives benefits

He’s just like “I’m not paid to pick it up so if we get a citizen to they get a little bit better treatment.” Which is arguably a more effective way of getting the soldiers to do what you want, by exploiting their compassion.

“This game has a good sense of room” is the most confusing but weirdly accurate way to describe a lot of half-life 2

[@GavLikesOpera]

The reason that the AI was fucked at the early parts in the game is because of what you did at 6:32. Killing that guard and immediately going to the top skips a trigger that both changes the combine's AI from Calm to Aggressive, and allows the player to start taking damage. This is actually a common trick done in pretty much all speedruns, but instead of killing the guy, they just hop over his head.

I think the game crash from the absurdly high crowbar damage was due to how Source applies velocity to an NPC's corpse based on damage which is why the .357 sends enemies ass over teakettle. Here, there was probably so much damage that you sent the Antlion Guard's corpse into the shadow realm and something happened that Havok did *not* like, quite possibly the "infinite angles" crash if an object reports an orientation of "infinite"

The Earth military tries to frame it as a good thing, but the main focus of that plot point is that, had the Ender and his crew known that they were actually fighting real enemies with real pilots under their control, they would've been far more hesitant to do what they did had they known it was all real.
