It might feel wrong to call their last proper sit down at a couch/desk singeplayer experience a “classic”, but its older than Half-Life one was when it came out.
That makes me feel old and I wasn’t even around for HL1. How’s your back feeling, millennials?
Ergonomic chairs, high end sports cars, and staying active has kept my back in great shape.
Also, {{{posture check}}}
I’ve been biking so much lately that my legs are getting hella toned, the rest of my body is starting to tone too and I’m feeling much more alive and healthy than I have at any other point in my life!
How long have you been biking for you to see these changes? I.e. what is ‘lately’?
This is my second season. I’m biking about 5 hours a week right now, averaging about 40-50 miles per week. I don’t know how obvious the toning would be to others but I can certainly see it, since y’know I’m the one who sees myself the most
We’re at that age where you have to exercise and watch what you eat if you want to be in good health (and not have your back hurt.) The friends I grew up with who haven’t touched a vegetable in their life, no longer happen to look healthy and thin.
34 and need a cane. Now get off my parents lawn!
Wearing good shoes and keeping my weight down and staying active so it feels fine.
Gen X weighing in. That’ll only last you so long, then your body starts to rebel no matter what.
Won’t work for everyone but I switched to thin sandals and my feet got much stronger and healthier.
I’m still working on the being too fat part
My doctor says that you don’t want squishy shoes and he recommended doc martens because they have a cork insole.
Not great. Thanks for asking.
I was 22 when Half-Life came out. I’m tired.
pretty okay, just had a shower and I’m chilling on the couch with my cat. She is steadily purring. comfort level is around a 7.8, maybe 7.9.
I bought HL1’s GOTY edition when it came out.
You didn’t have to be such a jerk about the back pain tho.
I’m not old you’re young! I’m not hunched over grabbing my back grimacing that’s just my power stance!
Doing fine. Sit up straight, do some light exercises, stretch, youll feel fine
Shit, you’re correct. It’s hard to believe. It feels like my first play of Portal 2 was just a couple years ago. It has been fourteen years…
