Today’s game is Half Life 2. I heard it got a UI update specifically for Steam Deck, so I had to try it. I ended up playing way more than I meant too (made it all the way to the Boat Segment and got stuck on the helicopter fight). I forgot how damn good this game is, it’s hard for me to resist playing it too and procrastinating all my other titles. Though ig all that matters is I’m having fun.
I picked up the bucket in the photo at the train station and carried it as far as I could. I ended up getting all the way to the teleporter with it before sadly I lost it, ending what I’ve dubbed Bucket%. I found another one after that and carried it all the way to the sewage tunnels for fun, but accidentally dropped it and couldn’t get it back.
Sadly the teleporter forced me to end my run. If I had more time I’d be interested in finding a way to skip it but sadly as it stands now that’s the furthest I can take it. I’m now realizing I should have timed myself though to really get into that speedrunning mindset
Let’s say that the Bucket takes up a weapon slot. So it goes with you through transitions like the teleporter. But that needs a catch. Like say you drop the bucket if you get below 30% health for instance and have to pick it back up.

If Bucket% isn’t a recognized challenge run. It should be.

Can mods be used in speed runs?
