Today’s game is Half Life 2. I heard it got a UI update specifically for Steam Deck, so I had to try it. I ended up playing way more than I meant too (made it all the way to the Boat Segment and got stuck on the helicopter fight). I forgot how damn good this game is, it’s hard for me to resist playing it too and procrastinating all my other titles. Though ig all that matters is I’m having fun.

I picked up the bucket in the photo at the train station and carried it as far as I could. I ended up getting all the way to the teleporter with it before sadly I lost it, ending what I’ve dubbed Bucket%. I found another one after that and carried it all the way to the sewage tunnels for fun, but accidentally dropped it and couldn’t get it back.

I had the orange box when it came out, so HL2 is very nostalgic for me, it was one of the first PC games I played, and completed. I still need to continue my playthrough of HL2 VR.

Sadly I have never beaten HL2, only made it so far before something fucks up my save, so maybe I’ll try and finish it this time (and hope nothing happens to it). I beat the OG half life though back in January, so much fucking fun, even with how old it is.
