25th bots
Hi everyone! I’ve been trying to play Half-Life 1 25th Anniversary with bots for some nostalgic fun, but I can't seem to get Akimbot to work. I’m using a pirated version, so I understand there may be some issues, but I'd love any advice on how to get bots running, even if it means using a different mod. Has anyone had success with bots in this version? Thanks in advance!

Found the origin of this receiver model in Kleiner's Lab
I'm not sure if this has been found before, however I've always noticed this piece of equipment in Kleiner's lab looked similar to a vintage stereo hi-fi receiver; however through searching for it directly, I failed to find it. That was until I was browsing hifi-engine's database on Pioneer brand receivers much later, in which I accidentally clicked on a model I didn't mean to. However, to my surprise, I saw what I had been searching for (all be it briefly): that being the Pioneer SX-6000 stereo receiver.

i've been trying half life and other valve games since a year ago my steam got hacked and the only thing the hacker did was buying the valve bundle with the credit i had left, would immensely apprecieate if somebody could help me get out of those damn vents

Any theories on why we can hear voices from multiple "scenes" from the game in the Nihilanth Portal?
Did Valve do it because it would be creepy, or were they trying to imply something?

Can Half-Life be considered "hard science fiction"? -
Few intrusive Half-Life related ideas been coming into my mind lately, older I am, more i revere HL series as unmatched revelation but not technically or gameplay wise but solely in relation to its insanely intriguing plot and lore. What I find absolutely remarkable about this game is some kind of "coldness" or almost lovercraftian-like indifference these games are able to convey. This "coldness" is also represented by some kind of scientifically rigorous visual storytelling, I havent seen in much games so far, or fps games in general, Doom 3 presents believable fusion of tech related/scientific elements with beauty of occult and satanic imagery, but Half-life pushes fusion of scientific rigor and coldness, (undermined also by its chapter names,) and uncomprehensive insanity filled dimensions and entities (Xen, Nihilanth, Combine as unknown multidimensional empire) to the absolute pinnacle what we have seen so far in gaming. Have you ever pondered about that absolutely flawless and immersive transition (along with pacing) from total simulation-like predictable boredom to insane mind dazzling borderworld dimensions and entities conceived only by twisted minds? And what is the bottom line of this aimless rambling? Thats its totally insane that everything that half-life consists of looks FUCKING REAL. NIHILANTH looks real, his telepathic voice messages feel real, teleportation feels real, alien grunt production plant looks eerie, insane but still real and believable, xen looks real when you omit 1998 engine limitations. Synths, citadel, striders, gunships, headcrab victims, combine overworld rift, dark energy manifestations, they all look unquestionable, well made and super believable to me. Even if its sheer bullshit, level of immersion is so insane that it looks like this shit could exist somewhere outside our galaxy right now. Many games that are still good have many of aforementioned elements, but it often looks childish, immature, cheap, fantasy-like etc. Had to write this because this observation haunts me like for 3 weeks as i was trying to produce some fan fiction attempts related to this universe. Even if Half-Life is not hard science fiction. it still looks fucking unquestionable, nothing is being explained and it still looks real. Only thing that does not seem real to me is perhaps G-Man. End of Rambling.

Anyone know a good version of Smod?
I have 2 versions: A piped version of 40a and a version of Smod Redux. The piped version is almost perfect except it has no soy beans, it is so unstable that it sometimes crashes, and the strider and heli combo on the buggy is impossible to survive. The Redux version has a lot of stuff taken out of it and a cop's ragdoll on the train sends you to Jupiter if you touch it.
