Fall 2007 was a wild time for FPS games.

The physical disc for orange box (HL2, TF2, portal, and something else?) was my first game that required me to make a steam account in 2005 and I resented it. Still feels good to reminisce though

Probably my favorite game of all time that I still play every week after over 10 years.

Such a fucking disgrace how Valve is treating it now. You simply cannot join a valve run server without it being overrun with a dozen aimbot snipers that spam the microphone and chat with extreme racism and promotions of CSAM websites. This has been happening for years now with literally a single tweet from valve in response. It’s at the point now where I’m starting to genuinely dislike the game.

No reason to fix it though when gamers keep throwing money at stupid fucking skins and hats
