4chan Memorial Post. Rest In Hell

This's probably been said before but we need to talk about how the hell Gordon Freeman went through the events of HL1 and 2 without breaking down.

He woke up late and showed up to work like normal, probably expecting to just go grab a beer with Barney after work. When he went to the test chamber, some things were messed up but yk, "Gordon doesn't need to hear about this, he's a professional!"

So he was in the dark about everything up until the Resonance Cascade. Can you imagine it just being some random Tuesday and you accidentally cause the apocalypse?

He watched most, if not all of his co-workers die, whether that be from the explosion, the miscellaneous aliens roaming the place, or from the military running around and shooting everything that moves.

Meanwhile, Gordon somehow manages to survive all of this, kills a fuck ton of military guys, and ends up having to go to space. In the span of like 2 days he's now having to save humanity. So he does, kills Gonarch and the Nihilanth and whatever, cool. Then he meets this weird lizard guy in a suit who transcends time and space and whatever because why wouldn't he, and then he wakes up to lizard guy again and IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS?

So NOW he's gotta navigate this new dystopian place that's in another country, and on TOP of that, he still has to deal with the aftermath of the Resonance Cascade.

And on top of THAT, everyone treats him like he's some kind of messiah that's going to save everyone from the combine. It's been like 3 days, give my man a break 😭

Then he's gotta deal with this girl who was a toddler the last time he saw her leading him around and flirting with him, (but also kicking ass, no shade to Alyx) his best friend is now like 50 years old, his old boss is an evil dictator, and the end of the world is gonna happen AGAIN.

And then when he and Alyx somehow manage to destroy the citadel, NOW HE HAS TO DO EVEN MORE.

Anyway. Give my man Gordon a nap and a weekend to just relax.

Mixing up Kleiner and Gordon's mentor/pupil relationship with Kleiner's snarkiness in ep 2 and i think Kleiner would absolutely stand up for Gordon against the other science team members anytime they'd be mean to him or try to take advantage of his lower status, and he'd make sure to passively comminicate how displeased he is with the situation. Someone tries to push their work on Gordon and Kleiner's like oh i'm sorry freeman actually has to work on this other project ^_^ he can't finish up YOUR papers ^_^

not an art post but here's me fucking around in vrchat..!

i HATE the ugly space potatoes i HATE them. grubs

A girl and her bot :)

ok but what if all the aliens just want petted and treats

still ver.

Some Alyx sketches for the soul. Give my girl her socket wrench back!

that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them

I love messing with these annoying accounts

i thought of this when the day was already mostly over and i realized 4/13 wasn't gonna fall on a saturday again for years so i was SPEEDRUNNING to get it done before midnight in my timezone holy shit. happy snark banging out the tunes saturday!
