Tutorial skips a step, easy to miss the parry
The tutorial moves on before it explains the parry timing. I only found it by accident twenty minutes later. Easy fix, but new players will miss it.

Which specs do I need for the test build?
Wondering whether a 1660 is enough for the test build, or whether that is wasted effort.

Earn your seat in the next test
Half-Life: Alyx is out, and that is what makes it worth covering: you can play it tonight, and what you write goes on your tester profile.
- It counts. Reports build the profile we read when a studio asks us for testers. An empty profile is why most applications go nowhere.
- First in line. Cover Half-Life: Alyx and you hear about its next playtest before it shows up on this page.
- Two minutes is enough. One bug, one performance note, one honest paragraph. That is the kind of thing a developer can act on.
Ask your questions directly to the developer of Half-Life: Alyx and view all official statements of thielo in one clear overview. Official statements from external sources will also be published here. Alternatively, you can submit them yourself and we’ll verify their authenticity.
