Love it. Sorry if this doesn't add anything, I normally just vote when I feel that about a comment.
Why do we really want to create value? I think we can all just be ourselves like you did by writing this comment.
There is no need to be sorry
Does this require an NVIDIA GPU to run? Or is a comparable AMD GPU sufficient?

Love the sentiment - knowing it’s ok to “just be yourself” adds value to others reading this. And often as not, what you say while being yourself is actually a contribution, you just don’t know it.
And now back to the half-life remake.
I had Macs growing up and missed out on all the Half Lives until I finally got to play Alyx last year. I tried HL1 after that, but couldn't really get into it. That said, Valve released the Anniversary Update for Half Life 2 a few months back which includes a bunch of quality of life improvements for modern setups. There's also a VR mod for Half Life 2, which is supposed to make it one of the best games available in…
