Heartbeat bills don't actually cover a heartbeat. They cover electrical signals that are not a heartbeat, but they can be detected much earlier.

An actual heart beat can be detected around 17 to 20 weeks. Heart beat bills kick in at 6 weeks when there is no heart yet. It's not even a fetus until 8 weeks. You have to deny all the science to pass these laws.

I think you have to take it within the context of when it came out. CoD4 and Mass Effect came out 9 years later. There wasn't anything like HL in 98. Enemies that talked to each other and flanked you? Unseen before. Does it stand up to games now? We've learned so much since then. But I think you'd be hard pressed to find a modern shooter that didn't trace its heritage back to HL.

When did you first play it and what other shooters had you played?

Brotato is amazing. One of the best.

Why do you think that?

This is now my second favorite "cart before the horse joke".

I appreciate when a company chooses to not manipulate its customers with sales pricing and instead has a fixed price.

I can only speak to developers, but lots were let go including friends.

It was in style giant charity bundle. The game is fun for a single party through I think.

Would be possible to run your own instance from within the app you use to browse? In other words, is there a reason for a personal Lemmy instance, with only me as a user and no communities, to run even when I'm not using it to interact with other communities?
