When you think about it, the TF2 universe probably COULDN'T be canon to the Half-Life universe

A big plot point for HL2 is that humans have discovered localized teleportation, and the Combine wants access to it.

Them not accessing it from Aperture makes sense, since it's a large hostile facility located underground.

But if TF2 existed in the same universe, then teleportation would've already been invented and understood by humans (since it was invented by the Australians, among another technological leaps)

Anyway, just a thought I had as I was trying to consider the TF2 universe and how it'd fit into Half-Life. Any additional thoughts or counterpoints are encouraged :^)

As someone who has mild 3D animation experience, which would be easier for me to learn/use for a simple animation? SFM or GMod (stop motion helper)?

Planning on making a relatively simple animation, either as a full thing or proof of concept. As someone who has a little bit of experience with 3d software and keyframes/motion tweens/etc, which software would be more user-friendly?

Or perhaps should I learn blender?

My friend has a Switch, a phone, and an Xbox One. What's the best and easiest way for her to play the Half-Life games?

Want her to be able to enjoy the games, but she does not have a great computer. I don't think she's tech-savvy, but her partner might be, in order to get it running on the systems I mentioned.

Thoughts?

Sometimes, during the day, I remember hyperspecific locations from dreams I had YEARS ago.

I'll just be sitting there working on something, or walking, or driving, and I'll remember the location from a dream. A 2-story mall. An abandoned library. A powerplant. A hallway.

All places I've never been in real life, but were probably inspired by real life. Nothing seems to "spur" these memories to enter my head, but it happens about twice a month. Worth mentioning I have insomnia, so perhaps I'm microsleeping and remembering the dream locations lol. But it's still weird bc again, they're dreams i had YEARS ago, to the point where I can't even remember the contents/plots of the dreams. Just the locations.

what's the difference between linking to an html in your website vs linking to the same page as a url?

Do you think the next half-life entry should introduce a Mark VI HEV suit?

Or at least repair Gordon's Mark V?

HL:Alyx shows us that it's pretty banged up.

And no it shouldn't be some MCU "nanomachine" bullshit

Can I reverse the order of buttons in my html?

I've added buttons to my image gallery from oldest artwork to newest artwork, but i decided I want to do it newest to oldest. Would I be able to introduce a css rule to fix this, or am I screwed and have to reorder the buttons manually?

(There are 33 of these)

Here is the page in question: https://chilichapters.neocities.org/other

Relevant CSS lines (i think) are 153 to 192.

Trying to create a div that only displays when an image is clicked.

I've already set up the first image in my gallery to zoom in and dim the background when clicked. I'm trying to make it so that a link appears underneath the image when it's zoomed in, prompting the user to visit it to see the full image. I'm having difficulty getting any text to show up though. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

This is the specific page. The image is the first on the left in the 2026 category, the black/white/red one. https://chilichapters.neocities.org/pm

How come HTMLs only work when they're in the home directory, and not nested in a folder?

my "imagetemplate.html" runs as normal, but not my "gallery/html/imagetemplate.html". How can I organize my html files and have them run properly?

What confirms that GLaDOS awoke during the "Bring your Daughter to Work" day?

In-game, when you reach this area, Wheatley reads out the sign and says "that did NOT end well.", but makes no mention of GLaDOS.

In the comic, LAB RAT, GLaDOS is awoken and says she has something planned for "Bring your CAT to work day".

So where is the information linking her to "bring your daughter to work day"? Did i miss it?

Why does G-Man call Gordon "unable" and "unwilling" to perform tasks?

As far as I can remember from the lore, Gordon never directly disobeys G-Man or fails any of his tasks. Unless G-Man is talking about when the Vortigaunts blocked him, but it's not like Gordon asked them to do that 🤔

Tutorial for Filterable Image Gallery (THAT USES CHECKBOXES)?

Looking to create a filterable image gallery, but every tutorial I see uses buttons instead of checkboxes, so you can only use one filter at a time. I'm trying to filter artwork by year, series, and medium. Any advice is appreciated, I'm a complete JS newbie D:

[English > Japanese] Looking to translate/localize a title

The title of my manga is Mako: Astral Angler. The main character catches souls with her fishing rod.

I've been attempting to use websites like JapanDict to help me translate the title, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right. I'd like to maintain some kind of alliteration or rhyming, like the original english title. Some ideas I've come up with are (romanized):

Mako: Rei Ryoushi

Mako: Kokoro Tsuribito

Mako: Shinkotsuribito (Shinkotsu + Tsurubito)

Any help is appreciated. I know basically NO japanese (I know the gojuon and how to say "nice weather, isn't it?")
