Spoiler alert! Today is the 25th anniversary of Half-Life, Valve's original first-person shooter. We'll call this the game's lead-210 anniversary, since its half-life is 22.3 years according to Wikipedia and that's as close as we can find to an isotope with a 25-year half-life. The celebration of the occasion is fully underway, including Friday's announcement that the game has received a big update, and is currently free-to-keep on Steam. So get moving! They're waiting for you Gordon. In the test... chamber.

Yay !

Though Half Life 2 being still unfinished/discontinued is a shameful disregard for loyal gamers.

Also 25 years ago, Bethesda published a game I loved but is forgotten and ugly now:
The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, 1998.

To commemorate that ugliness, Starfield has, as of today, a 69% global score on Steam, entering proudly its full brown "Mixed" stage.
