I was super bored in class the other day, and because I wasn't in the front row I couldn't start mindlessly scrolling through tumblr so I ended up writing 2000+ words of half life fanfiction. I'm not entirely sure how that happened but tbh I'm liking it so far

Another gem I found via the posts on social media…..
Kathy’s Cafe located down the 563 Batchawana Bay.
Homemade food.
All day breakfast 🍳
…. Talking to the owner, this cafe came to be after the passing of her 42 year old daughter Kathy in a car accident. The two of them had wanted to open a cafe and tried for years but were unsuccessful. After Kathy’s passing, her mom decided to try again and now has a beautiful cafe in her daughters honour 💕 …
A beautiful portrait hangs in the cafe in tribute of her gorgeous daughter (see picture).
If you’re in the area this is a wonderful and quiet place to dine and every day she has a special. I’ve heard that her pizza is amazing too !!! Oh, and DO NOT forget to buy a cinnamon bun because they are delicious !!! 🚙 …. Kathy’s Cafe

Okay but I haven’t seen anyone else mention this, when Jekyll’s in the subconscious and has a board of papers comparing him and Hyde we mostly see notes on Hyde but if you look in the bottom right corner,
You see this
“A good person” crossed out.
Someone get him therapy

#talked to my credit union about pre-approval for an auto loan. im gonna frow up#tldr; i just started a new job after completely depleting my savings over the last couple months#and my fucking car has decided that NOW is the time it wants to begin its death throws after 17 years & 190k miles#so rather than wait for the engine to explode on the highway or something i'm spending money i don't have#(many thousands of dollars that i will need to borrow. specifically. 🤢)#to shell out for a newer & hopefully more reliable car before winter hits. and then i'm just gonna pray my new income can cover it!!!!!#on one hand i'm excited cuz it'll be the first car i've ever owned that wasn't a shitty hand-me-down with over 150k on it already#and i am absolutely drooooooling over the one i'm gonna test drive tomorrow#but on the other hand. it feels very precarious to take on this amount of debt right now and i'm FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.#i was worrying this morning tha ri was rushing into things and maybe it would be better to try to hold off for a couple months#but then i had to use my own car for work today instead of a fleet vehicle and the engine started displaying Silly Behaviors*#(*RPMs doing whatever they feel like randomly & a noticeable Clunk whenever i'd shift gears)#and since this thing has already cost like 1k in two emergency mechanic trips in the last two months#i feel justified in my decision to just take the L and hope nobody will look at it too closely when assessing its trade-in value 😔#ctxt#money talk cw

Feeling nostalgic for good fpses again and want to go back to my half life 2 playthrough
But last time I played it it gave me terrible motion sickness and idk if I want to deal with that this weekend
Which really sucks because that is a great game, an absolutely terrific game, probably the best game I've ever played both from a story telling and game design perspective, and you just don't get games like that anymore
#if valve still worked right theyd be making both that and the original half life as hd rereleases#i know there was a fan project to remake half life in the source engine but idk if they ever finished and released it or what#but the motion sickness is why i never beat half life sadly 😞#i have it but i couldnt play longer than getting the suit#meanwhile half life 2 i was able to beat in high school so i know that#but when i tried replaying it earlier this year it gave me a headache#at least i was able to get to highway 17#i should be able to beat it i just need to figure out a gameplan to deal with the sickness#things i shouldnt have to do to game but oh well 🫠#this post brought to you by a poll asking if you prefer third person or first person in video games#and im like 'well it depends. i do love me a good first person shooter.'

#i love driving *so* much. like i was made to move i think. i was made to Go#i could do it for hours. days. just keep going and going. coasting. racing. cruising#i learned to drive stick today. and i drove down a highway that was pretty empty. and it wound through hills. groves of trees#tall grasses. i passed a winery and a small town or two with populations of only a couple hundred. large fields and farms#cows and horses. a rodeo fairground#it was beautiful. and no one was around. and i just drove and it's my favorite thing ever i think#god. it's like swimming in a moment. does that make sense? it's like i have nothing to worry about#and i love driving as the sun sets. i also love driving in the city at night when everyone is moving and living and doing all sorts of stuff#i love the lights and the smell of cold concrete. i also love the sun on my skin and wind through my hair and the smell of nature#and i love passing through it all. things slow down and speed up at the same time. i think i love it for the same reasons i love liminality#because that's also sorta what it's like#ugh#i hope someday part of my soul gets to fly a rickety old spaceship through the stars#there's an itch there that needs to be scratched. it won't happen in my lifetime but. maybe sometime later#anyways. i'm so glad i'm alive#sometimes i remember when i couldn't imagine myself older than 16/17#and i think about all my favorite things i've experienced. and everything i want to do. and i hold it so tightly#i'm just glad i'm here#sap says

every time it's so easy to think that this is the most you'll ever feel, that you'll never get it back again, but ngl life is full of different feelings, and all of them are going to be different because life marches on and so do you
#re my last post i was about 17 when that all went down and it felt like everything was falling apart because i had#all these plans and things i wanted to do with these people u know#anyway finding out years later what caused everything to fall apart made me go ?????? like what in the goddamn#so for years after i used to look back on that time and wish that it couldve lasted but looking back at it now as an adult im just#yeah okay so it was earth shattering at 17 but at 27 im good. i have other adventures i want to go on. i have friends that i've known#for over a decade now that i love#the feeling i experienced at 17 when i thought about the future was identical to when i was 23#and in a friend's car and we were driving down the highway at 3am to get coffee blasting music with the windows down scream singing#like sometimes it's all good and you will get back what you feel you are missing

(ok so this is probably a spoiler but) for martini, mercy, and freerun, is this a game? like,,, is martini just in vr, or is freerun trying to set a record? also related: do any of them have any game mechanic stuff? like reloading/respawn (probably not), grenade jumping, noclipping?
For Martini and Mercy: Nope! While I do love my HLVRAI's that are canonically accurate, I adore Not A Game AUs all the more. As for Mercy, I just think his character hits harder if he's just... some guy. Just built like that. (This would only really be a spoiler if it were true, but it's not so you do not have to worry!!) For Freerun: Yes and No. Not in like a maybe sort of way, but more like Schrodinger's Cat. He both is and isn't. partly because I can't decide and partly because I don't want to. I think either concept is incredibly interesting, so I'm trying to leave it vague so that you as an audience can decide for yourself. Game Mechanics: Depends on the mechanic, but a lot of them actually WILL be implemented. When I find the right moments anyways. Mercy will be using grenade jumping (and explosives in general) religiously, Freerun might get some noclipping moments (though I also might just leave that to our noclipping king), and fun fact about the respawn/reloading stuff! I sort of did have a plan to use that (not sure if I will but it was in the notes originally), but not for any of the characters you have listed :) ((Also one final side note: Thank you for the fun ask!! I don't mind the ones that ask for clarification or anything, but ones that get me talking about the story are very fun!! Also don't be afraid to ask things you think are spoilery, I will simply work around that!)
#posts made by rae#posts made by bees#honestly im just happy people care enough to ask questions in the first place#ive been doing research for speedrun strats specifically for freerun#the pallet that dropped on that combine in his intro was him prop flying actually#so far its been the only glitch ive sort of explicitly used#honestly im waiting until highway 17 to give everyone their true times to shine#that plan will make sense with the next chapter :)
