The front keys always reminded me of a CD player button, especially on more expensive Sony models. Looking how the hands look like hard drive platter readers made me think that the valve team behind the Half Life game had many more ideas and expectations and we only saw a bit of it in the final game.

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. People foremost want things to be functional for the actions they will commit. Technology now days is extremely versatile and powerful, it is junk software, microcomputer program, that is lacking.
A 400MHz DSP microchip (Middle class , from 2010) with 64Megs of RAM can decode an 192kHz 24Bit resolution FLAC file, run Linux, operate a network connection both wired and wireless, decode an incoming multichannel audio stream, access an 1TB+ NTFS partition and operate an steady control and communication of all the audio i/o as well as communication with the main microcomputer all at the same time. How? Thanks to properly written software to utilize all that.
Hardware is light years ahead of what was 20 years ago all in the hands of an average person , while on the other hand even with newer more powerful development environments software is still falling behind and it is increasing hyper production with addition of planned obsolescence that mostly contributed to that , but the real reason is "secured money" and nothing else.

Its not about the upgrade or the way things would look, its about the principle of operation that all these things fall under. In 2009 I had an Toshiba laptop with Pentum II and 256MB of RAM. I could watch youtube and browse the internet with out any problems. Back in the day, in the 90s, an plain looking HTML website could have had an active chatbox or even highly complex web pages so thats not an excuse. ActiveX was powerful.
All webpages are gonna look like they're from 1995, lmao.
TWHL3 was a classic example of a 90s web page and no one complained.
You probably dont remember because you were younger, but there was just as much multimedia content on the web back then as there is today, only it was distributes as Macromedia flash, gifs, avi videos, etc.
It is lack of talent, patience and will to make something polished and correct that brought to this, that is, the love for money overshadowed all of the rest.

They need the extra system requirements in order to monetize hyper production , back in the day a 3D polygonal game such as Unreal Tournament ran on 200MHz and 32Megs of RAM and had great movement, aim and collision precision, and the graphics were pretty rad too (still are). Excuses? None.

To this day iE is still used for renewing smart card certificates and work with sensitive documents used in Banking, Medical and Government facilities , at least from what I see here in Serbia. I also used it heavily during my faculty days and would have continued to do so if Youtube didnt make it obsolete along side slow rendering of Java and all the other junk they have on web pages today (HTML 1.0 ftw).
Render mode Color , or Pure Color in cs hex fgd , must be used with an "visible" texture. If an "invisible" texture is used like null, bevel, or even aaatrigger, the compiler will make it drawn invisible. aaatriger for example works in the oldest tool set and maybe in zoner tools 3.4 but definitely not in vhlt tools as it removes these entities visually. Best to keep it a non special texture for it to work properly.

Heh, my man. I finished middle electronics school, went onto faculty of technical sciences (Higher Technical School). Engineering is only as hard as much as you dont want to do it.

I believe my worst year was 7th year of grade school when I scored 2.92. I could not tell from the text what your affinity is. This is by the sound of it Middle school. What are your plans after getting done with it? College, work?

Cant you see hes a vagina. Just let him leave. Than dont let him come back. Let him figure it out by him self. He clearly does not trust us and we did not do nothing wrong to him.

Pretty nice, a parkour game. Its strange to look at how the character is so detailed but the surrounding is not. Times have changed. There are a plenty of parkour videos out there maybe you can get some inspiration from that.
Could not really understand what was the video all about though.
Real nice "read me" too, kudos for that.

Maybe try Mr Splashies level for Duke Carribean it might inspire you for creating something neato

Reminds me of some of some older maps like cs_deliverance.

Good riddance.
If youre still interested I can take photos of the content for you.
hfc I will see if I can get it scanned somewhere. What do you think, maybe a better resolution one exists somewhere?
The retail model is clearly high tech, I would like to know what Half Life would have looked like if it went more story indepth rpg like.
