I couldn't upvote this enough! Keep up the excellent work!

Why is it .vpk and not .bsp? Will it still work? I have not tried it yet ...

Why does a Reddit fan not being able to understand a simple file called installation_instructions not surprise me? :lol:

Put the vpk in your /addons folder.

On the other hand, well done.

The map had pretty good production value, I'm not going to lie. All of the reddit references were silly and obvious and out of place with the one exception of the anti-zombie fortress off in the distance. That was both subtle and funny.

Portal bumpers, pretty good texturing. The map felt really aimless, but otherwise was a really good use of the "big open room" pattern. Drop the reddit stuff (particularly the "reddit" written in light fixtures, ugh. nightmares) and spend your time making some really good maps.

I missed the reddit train, and now it's on my list of "social sites to avoid because my ex is on there".

If Hober likes the map I might give this a play though.

It went okay....

It was better than I expected, but my expectations were pretty low since it seemed like an unoriginal piece. It just so happens that pieceoftoast made decent map and add some reddit inside jokes that neither add nor detract.

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:
