Thanks for the feedback. Missing textures are likely from turning all my dev textures into null once I think I got everything. I simply didn't notice them. The pause zoom is a biproduct of binding an animated cvar to a -command like +mouse2 -mouse2. It can be fixed by not animating it, but it's not as fancy looking. I'm happy to hear that you found the tripmine platforms enjoyable. I hope to continue to develop them. I'm surprise you didn't mention the weird lights in the little food section. turns out you can't flip lights or toggle them either on or off independently. All the targeted light have to be either on or off, not some on or some off. If there's a way to do it, I don't know it. :<
As long as all the crabs were fun to look for, cosmetics aside, I see this as a success. If you looked for them for 1.5 hours, I'm surprised someone played the mod for that long at all.
Mapping? No. I’m challenging myself to never run HL and make a ton of objects and models. That way I can have a part in everyone’s map and be appreciated >;)
The goal is to provide a more enjoyable experience mapping with some prefabs and models catered to simplicity using vanilla resources. Any new mapper can easily grab these and make a lab scene or whatever quite quick. Especially the nice HEV suit chamber I made. Still proud of that. Any experienced mapper can do the same. I’d like it to be a must-have with new and old mappers.

Gorgeous map but not the most optimized it could be. With something like this, your VIS settings matter a lot and there are things that can be done to lower the r_speeds and increase frame rates. But overall it is a masterfully constructed map. Bravo.

It went well. We’re home now and the doctor said it all went according to plan. She’s not in any extra pain which is good. They used acupuncture to make sure her nerves were ok during the procedure which is an interesting thing. Overall recovery is going very well.

Made that promised update. Windawz suggested making the buttons shootable and I agree. None of the locations changed. Totally forgot the +USE function ignores walls. This is likely a final but who knows.

Not that I would, but Mushrooms actually repair the constricted neurons in the frontal lobe that attribute to anxiety and depression as well as other things. I’d do well with just Medical Cannabis though.

Yeah I make less that 2k a year and I have dental work to get done and I’m in pain all the time and I can’t take pain meds because of drug interactions, but I also want to buy food. So. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It seems that way these days, doesn’t it? But abnormal traits were observed by a peer and a neuropsychologist in the room with me. It was an up-to-date test and it turned out I was on the spectrum. There are simple things I can’t do that I need help with. The depression is so bad it’s chemical. This all happened in October, and I wouldn’t put it on the internet if I wasn’t sure.

She thanks you all for the well-wishes. However, they found nothing but a little swelling. Kinda anticlimactic but I guess in this situation, it’s a good thing. She’s recovering now just fine and will be back to things in about a week.

You guys are great, she’s happy to see all your wishes. Just to let you know, she still has a folder full of all the original emails from the first one. She appreciates you guys that much.
A miracle happened and my hospital visit was waived. I qualified for something and that service took care of the costs. I got a very happy letter that said my account had been adjusted to zero. All I have to do is pay the radiology department which is kinda not a big deal. I'm very grateful, though I don't know what I did to deserve it, but it encourages me to want to release and close projects.
If I’m going to get funding for anything, it’d be for my projects. Though, it really does feel like a fine for a stupid genetic condition. I could choose a fun number of petty crimes that would incur less in fees and fines, and that would be my choice, but I didn’t choose any of this. I have a healthy lifestyle, and it’s sick that that was never an issue. What gets me is simply seeing how decrepit the system is and how it’s messed up everything. A colleague and phenomenal artist had passed from a medical complication before she could get her degree. She couldn’t afford what she needed, and that shit stole her from making the world a brighter place, and that shit scares me. The system failed her, and the world lost a promising artist. I can’t fail nor be failed upon either, I’ve got shit to get done.
I’m home now but I got some serious challenges. First of all, the medication I have to take for the rest of my life is fucking $4,800! Even the doc was apologizing about the price before he even named it.
And yes I did do work on my phone for things. I never stop.

Don’t worry I’ll be safe. I’m no Gordon Freeman but I will do what I can. I also have an evac plan in case it all goes to shit which is more likely than otherwise because I have family to worry about.

People self medicate. Americans work way too hard for shitty unlivable income. I’m literally unemployed and I still have two odd-jobs to barely make the gap.

There are two days a year that does a rare thing. On saint patricks day, Americans choose to be a different nationality and celebrate it. We respect the Irish because they can out drink us.
The other day is Martin Luther King Jr. Day because we know we done fucked up.

Awesome work btw.

If you have requests or contributions, hit me up.
There's new things, new people, but the core of us and the general vibe of things haven't changed.
Also, *Hope you're all keeping well.*
Yep, not much has changed. 😉
Though we have a Discord now. Many of us hang/lurk on there.
In my defense, I made that map while on Prozac.
Also I don’t even have the map anymore, it was on an old computer. ;( feel kinda bad about all this.
Still, I’m rather impressed you found them all. It wasn’t my intention to tease. Congrats!
On this motherfucking day.

It’s a haiku. ^_^
Overall this is something I've never seen before. It's very cool.
Curious how this will be included in future maps/projects.
Happy Birthday!
I don’t doubt that people are slowly evolving/mutating.
Potatis, that’s rather uplifting. Just wish there were options for me to improve our situation.
And thank you everyone for the support.
Also, if Urby gets baked with Italians, that’s understandable. ^_^
Admer: ^^^
Srojke: I wish but I have a tiny studio.
Bruce: I’ve done both but I have a method with glue that holds super well. The “leather” is black solidcore paper lacquered with mod podge.
Urby: Don’t put Italians in your oven. (Mook is a racial slur!)
(Happy new year!)
Ugh. Steroids rant.
And yes I did do work on my phone for things. I never stop.
It’s begun.
