#but this does increase the chances I'll still be interested in writing the sequel to 'Gordon Swap' once January arrives

After only about a year, I'm replaying Half Life 2 again! It's for that sweet new dev commentary. I was thinking about getting the achievements I missed too but the dev commentary disables getting achievements. Which I guess makes sense, while listening to them the player is invulnerable, still kinda annoying though. I might get them later via going to the chapters they're in directly. It would mean more time with the gnome which would be fun (other than keeping him in the damn car anyway).

And I'd already been thinking about replaying the VR mods for it and then into another Alyx playthrough, using my left hand (non-dominant) for the guns. So I'll probably do that after I finish this dev commentary playthrough.

The Half Life games are real good. I slept on them for way too long. Also, lots of people have already said this but, 2 is free right now and the episode sequels have finally been brought into the fold. The rest of the franchise is also on sale (If you don't have a VR headset I've heard there's a mod for it that allows you to play it flat) so now would be a good time to get into it if you haven't already. (Join me in loving Alyx, please, she doesn't get as much love as she deserves.)

I'm still not letting myself get too hype about the Half Life 3 leaks but ooh, they did this all this cool stuff with HL 2 for its b-day, indicating they care about the series again. So I am a little bit hype. I hope it comes out and I hope it's good. I also would like it if they make it so you can play in VR or flat, similar to how the first Subnautica did but with motion controls. I doubt they'll do that, it'd probably be much more work that wouldn't be worth it for them but ooh, I sure would love that. That's just a fun fantasy though. Like I said, I'm not letting myself get too hyped for it yet, so many things could still go wrong that might result in it not happening.

Ahhh I want to first start saying I love your writing! Remember to take breaks and eat properly, take care 💕🙏

With ovulation being almost over I'm thinking of Yingxing (idk what that man does to me), but him alone without others involved romantically- I appreciate threesome with Dan Feng or Jing Yuan but today just him! Alone. Alright I'll get to the point😭

As sequel to Yingxing kidnapping and keeping a spouse, I think as the traditional man, he'll love to have a child. He gets you pregnant after 6-8 months of marriage (wanted to enjoy married life a bit before). You're terrified and anxious, even with Stockholm syndrome, you're pregnant with the blacksmiths baby! Yingxing is very sweet, you still clean and cook but with less intensity. He gives you some books, films to watch (nothing that could make you think of escaping) - your days are spent dusting the shelves, preparing a meal to warm up for him after work and sewing baby clothes. He's all over you, pregnancy makes you attractive for him.

Contrary to tradition, he is overjoyed when you give birth to a healthy girl. He'll take a week off the forge to take care of you and the baby girl (calm because I like calm babies).

Baiheng and Jingliu are surprised when finding out the news, they ask to see the baby but he denies them yet. Dan Feng is neutral, he still sends a jade bracelet for the baby. Jing Yuan smiles, sending a basket of fruit.

This sounds so sweet, thank you for sharing this 🥺 Take care of yourself too 😽

You are right, Yingxing can definitely achieve his idea of ​​a beautiful family life 😣😌😔 (after you stop sticking your hands out of the window or smashing his forging table into a mess) Yingxing keeps creampie you. He spends a lot of time and energy here just to get one more round, while believing in some unfounded claims that the piledriver position can increase the chance of conception. Maybe it actually works because you find out you're pregnant.

Almost like a signal. "This is how your life will be from now on." - This message takes root in your mind. You willingly do housework and sew baby clothes.

And after the baby is born, you can move around <3 because you are his wife!! No normal family keeps members stuck. Yingxing's friends are eager to meet you and see who has charmed this blacksmith.

(Jing Yuan laughed at Yinxing before saying "What marriage? I have no interest in marriage and romance.")
