Proving that I never learn. I just bought Half-Life and Half-Life 2. It’s on sale now at steam so for <$5 you can buy them with expansions.
Anyway, if you want it, buy it soon, the offer lasts only a few hours.
I’m pretty sure I must have bought this already somewhere…
There’s also documentaries released for the 25th anniversary:
Great games, pioneered visual storytelling, great atmosphere.
I have played through so many times, I think I got them on Steam too, years ago, but somewhere in my mother’s basement are the original CDs. Now my computer doesn’t even have a disk drive.
Already there.
Wasn’t it HL2 that forced Steam activitation upon us? Remember some controversy around that, back then.
Last played in 2020, propably for the last time.
Still got Black Mesa in my small pile of shame.
Alyx is on the wishlist in case I get one one of VR headsets (which are not yet on the wishlist) 
Yes, I call it my Gaming Pile of Shame™
Every sale, I bought games on PSN, and the list of unplayed titles grew and grew.
I have now since deleted that list 
Played 5 mins of the HL training and remembered I don’t play FPS due to nausea. $5 down the drain! 
Since Divinity Original Shit 2 I always get a pirate copy first, and if I like it I buy it.
I saw the CD Project Red, of Witcher fame and Cyberpunk 2077 infamy is developing a Witcher 4, currently called project Polaris. I’ll be suspicious because I, like others, had insane expectations for Cyberpunk 2077, not only because I’m an old cyberpunk, William Gibson, Philip K. Dick geek, but also because of how mind-blowingly good Witcher 3 was.
Currently playing Sekiro, after two failed attempts to start (clearly wasn’t up to the task).
Shit?! I had a lot of fun with Boni-Wan Kenobi 
I almost finished this game (gave up in the last city) but really didn’t like it. I knew about barrelmancy
My Chromebook died so in searching for a substitute I pulled the trigger on a steam deck oled.
I use the desktop Linux with a docking station (the same I already had for the Chromebook) and use the deck to game here and there, when commuting etc.
700 chf so not cheap but I can do all that I need and can game on top of it. And can finally try to play all games from my steam library 
should we do a discord server for swiss gamers that speak english?
I am currently playing Zelda Echos of Wisdom. It’s very cute.
Also sometimes burning minutes in Balatro. This game is so highly adictive. It makes 1h commuting a breeze.
Been playing Sekiro these past few weeks, took me three times to get into it but now would put it up there among the best fighting games ever made.
Done with Sekiro, possibly the best combat system I’ve ever played.
Now picked up Dark Souls 2, the black sheep of the family. The janky, clunky and SLOW combat is rough coming from Sekiro’s razor sharp katana, I meant combat, and the game is borderline unfair very often, but I am getting into it.
45 years playing rogue, later nethack, ASCII Version of course with a DEC console, just tried again after a little pause of like 20 years… can’t remember even the commands. 
But it is still in the distribution: sudo apt install nethack-console
