Damn I miss half-life mods.

New ones are still being made. I can't give specific examples since I don't play Half-Life mods but I'm sure you can find some pretty cool stuff by looking around.

Lol those were the days. I remember Simcity 4 releasing back then and how quickly my mod folder blue up. Then by the time that game was old it was only 2.15gb and that was nothing. The jump from >10gb to 50gb games was insane. Now the jump to 100+ Gb hurts a lot. Any time a game is iN MB I do a little happy dance.

Mine was green.

I remember clearing drive space on my first computer once, I went off of install size and anything other than a couple of key games that took up multiple hundreds of Mb got the boot and anything less than 100 Mb stayed installed for a bit longer. When you've only got a 40GB drive, thems the choices you have to make!

Meanwhile I've seen Fortnite literally fail to update with less than 100GB free because it needs to modify so many files in its gigantic install

This is funny on so many levels, also a vit bitter as well...

Lol.

I've now got Steam games spread across 5 hard drives. One of which is a 5tb old school disk drive for the games I have A LOT of user made content for. I've gotta be in the terrabytes range at this point.

Fortunately, most HL2 mods were/are nowhere near that big, even the vast majority of total conversions.

Go play Minerva if you never did.
