I wish the EU would fucking invade the US already. Either put us out of our misery or save us, either way, it stops our leaders from spreading the evil and murder around the globe.

Halsin makes you wait til Act 3. Got to lift the shadow curse first.

I agree. I honestly hate boss battles. I love playing video games on hard mode, but for some reason boss battles have never filled my soul with joy or given me a sense of satisfaction when I’m done. They just irritate me. I definitely have games where I’m on the hardest difficulty for normal game play and then right before every boss battle I’m going into settings changing the difficulty to story mode so I can knock them down in 5 hits and move on with the game.

Yes and spoilers (since I don’t know how to cover a comment)

The post credit scene of Alyx shows you as Gordan at the end of HL2E2. Only Gman has now taken Alyx and you as Gordon are being handed Gordon’s crowbar and are told “come on Gordon, we have work to do”

They sort of announced HL3 in the post credit scene on HLAlyx, but of course we’ve been promised HL3 before so even if we get it it’ll be another 10 years probably. Alyx was so incredibly good though.

I think it’s a more modern version of what we in EMS call “treat the patient, not the monitor.” AKA, if your patient looks like they’re in distress, is having trouble breathing, etc, but you throw them on the monitor to get vitals and it’s reading that everything is within normal levels, don’t just sit back and be like well clearly you are fine, stop saying you cant breathe because my little lifepack says otherwise. Either the monitor is wrong or they’re doing some hard-core compensation to keep themselves within normal ranges, so let’s treat them and not what the computer says.

You’re welcome! I hope your mom can find something that works for her. Life with migraines is terrible. One of my co-workers got a migraine one day when we were working together and he looked at me and said “how do you live like this, how do you handle the constant pain, this is unbearable” and I said “what other choice do I have, I can’t make them stop, the only other option I have is to kill myself.” Finding the right treatment was just amazing, I never thought they’d go away. I’ve been getting them since I was a child.

I used to have 25-28 migraine days a month. About 15-20 of those were struggle through work while half blinded, come home and go straight to bed. My PCP put me on a beta blocker while waiting until I could get in to see a neurologist. It helped a small amount, in that I was having maybe 23-26 migraine days a month and they were slightly less severe, but when the neurologist put me on anti-seizure meds (topiramate) my world changed. Now I have maybe 1-2 migraine days a month if I have a migraine at all and I only have 4-5 bad headaches a year. It’s been maybe 2 or 3 years since I’ve had a “lay in bed, dont move, dont think, dont open my eyes, if I so much as twitch a finger i will projectile vomit” migraine. I got my life back.
