I now have 2GB of RAM in my main computer, and a secondary computer pieced together from some old parts laying around. It's probably going to be used as a server if I can ever get it working... maybe even a Half-Life Deathmatch server.
This place is really going to hell. I hardly thought it could get any worse than it already had, but I was proven so horribly wrong. Today, I am quite honestly embarrassed to be part of this community.
Edit:
I really never thought that sanity would be restored after that day.
In other news: My mapping inspiration is waning, and I can't seem to figure out what to do with my HL:HS map I'm currently working on. Hopefully it'll come to me some day soon...
