Farewell, friend. I do not know what bad you had done, as I only knew you by the good. Best of luck in your non-HL-modding endeavours.

Oskar's right, he camped that teleport exit and it worked WAY too well, crossbowed me there at least 10 times.
I recorded some gameplay with fellow TWHLers, so I might upload it one day for you to see. It was fun.

Now I'm curious.
I got born on the 23rd of February 2002, and I joined here on the 16th of January 2016. That'd be 5075 days.
Today's the 20th of October 2021 as Archie said, and... dayum. That's 7179 days.

I've been a TWHLer for 29.3077% of my life. Nice. It'll be 50% on the 8th of December 2029.

I think the very first thing I googled, when HL: Alyx came out, was the ending. xD
But, by the time I get a VR headset and finally play the game (2026/2027), I'll probably have forgotten it, so it's gonna be a brand new experience for me.

Anyway, nice review.

News just came in, I'm 6th by total score. By being in the top 55, that means... well... I'm in. ^w^

I hide all my cheats in the skull. There's a chance they may evaporate that way, but... it works pretty well.

I signed up for college. Got 85% on the entry exam, not too bad, I suppose.

I have finished my last high school exam. Just gotta finish a project for Entrepreneurship class and then I'm truly done.

My parents are against the idea of working for a couple of years and then going to college, and I understand why, so I'll try doing both.
I've discovered that, in the first 1 or 2 years in that college, they really just revise whatever I've had in high school. Basics of C++, basic IT theory, complex numbers and stuff in Maths, and some English stuff. If it turns out very easy, it might be more feasible to work and study at once.

So with that said, I figured I'll go to college for a couple of months to get used to that, then try finding a job and get used to that. If it works out, great! If it doesn't, I'll just keep going to college and see if I can get a job after it.
I don't care about social life, and I sleep in the bus, so it's gonna be exactly what I was used to.

Either way, I did some estimations and if we assume:
  • a stable job with a pay of 1000 KM per month (500€ per month, 6000€ per year),
  • that I'll live with my parents,
  • that my parents and I will be alive for the next 5 to 10 years,
then I will need to work for about 5 (+/- 20%) months in order to buy the things I need. Mainly some software licences, VSTs, electronics and hardware upgrades, basically.

Here's the plan if anyone's curious:

The bus ticket price can be eliminated once I start driving, but considering the price of getting a driver's licence, I think the average is gonna be about the same, if not higher.

@NineTnine
Ah, good ol' times. Not so good now that I read through my old posts, but whatever. :P

Yes, I cheated a tiny bit. :walter:
One morning, I had a test in Computer Architecture. I took out my phone and opened a PDF with some of the lessons we needed to learn, cuz' I was lazy and there were many lessons. The time limit was about 15 minutes, and there were 20 questions, and I managed to get about 90% lol.

I'm gonna have another test from the same subject in Monday, buuuuut I'm pretty sure I won't cheat on that one. It's gonna be easier and will have fewer lessons since this is pretty much the end of the school year.
Other than that, I got a German test, a Maths test, and a Databases test by the 26th of April. Then I'm finally a free bird, at least for a little while.

Thanks. :3

@I have a plan
I did the tests, and 100%-ed them lol. But it was just simple HTML and CSS stuff, nothing special.

IKR, anything can be a vehicle if you try hard enough!
My brother was the one who suggested to put a porta potty on the big rock, and we just couldn't stop laughing. In fact, the thought alone still makes me laugh as I'm typing this.

.vmap?
Not .vmap_c? O.o

I can enjoy the map within SteamVR Hammer then. >:3

Very beautiful map, reminds me of the old TWHL days. <3
Commented 3 years ago2020-12-02 21:33:15 UTC in journal: The adventures of BurekTech Comment #103104
@Alberto
Yes. My main support is for TrenchBroom (Quake 3 map format, w/o patches for now) and J.A.C.K. (true Quake 3 map format). I am assuming that TB will eventually get true Q3 format support, with patches. Patches are actually those curved planes you're talking about. They can also be cylinders, cones, terrain etc., basically meshes inside the BSP like Source displacements.

Hammer 3.x is less likely, BUT, as long as you have a q3map2 that supports the Valve 220 format (J.A.C.K.'s q3map2 does), you'll be fine. It's of lower priority TBH.
However, a big issue with Hammer is the textures. Since using GoldSRC-specific formats (MDL, WAD3, HL BSP etc.) is technically illegal in engines outside of GoldSRC, and I wanna make paid games with this engine (and put 'em on Steam at some point), yeah. No. We can forget about Hammer support here.

Anyway, another update: now brush entities are solid and can be collided with. I am almost ready to begin re-implementing some of the most needed entities.
Hell yeHell ye

In fact, I believe this could be done within a HL mod. But, I won't experiment with that until 2022.

So basically, it'd be darker. Makes sense for CS lol
Commented 3 years ago2020-11-24 21:04:10 UTC in vault item: awp_tokyo_v2 Comment #103086
In what way? Wallbanging or would the map be darker overall?
If wallbanging is the issue, then you can set ZHLT lightflags to "Opaque + concave fix", so that func_wall is gonna cast the shadows and all.
Commented 3 years ago2020-11-23 20:23:19 UTC in vault item: awp_tokyo_v2 Comment #103083
I think the lighting would be much better if you made those pillars into func_detail, so they can cast shadows. :)

Not entirely alone.
I found my comfort in an Internet relationship with a Hungarian girl, who I'm hoping to meet one day once I've a job and a car. Hungary's pretty damn close, unlike the countries of all my previous relationship partners (mainly the USA and the UK).

It kinda sucks that I've been starved of physical affection for years. Certainly, there are many people out there who are the same. Haven't had a hug, haven't kissed anyone, haven't been kissed... but alas. If I've gone through this year like that, I'll go through the next 5 ones just like so.
But I know I'll get hugs one dayBut I know I'll get hugs one day
