I like the idea that gordon freeman went to work fucking high out of his mind during the events of half life 1
all the other scientists ushering him along while he's just absolutely out of time
if you're really empathic I recommend not watching this because it is A Lot
also I do want to say that the resonant cascade actually does happen in this head canon which, as you can imagine, would be incredibly hard to deal with even when sober
@SuricrasiaOnline That explains why everyone always has to remind him to get the HEV suit at the start... And gets lost so often...
@SuricrasiaOnline holy shit. Trying to interview people?? Hard pass.
@SuricrasiaOnline that one scientist who is all "they're waiting for you Gordon. In the /TESSSSST CHAAMMBEERRRR/" is such a dick, he knew Gordon was wired as hell and did that to mess with him
@Nine @SuricrasiaOnline the gman was a hallucination
@aoife @SuricrasiaOnline either that or literally a govt agent who's also in on it with the dickish scientist from earlier and they're both pranking poor Gordon
@SuricrasiaOnline they call him the g-man because he
@SuricrasiaOnline "I never thought I'd live to see a resonance cascade, let ALONE create one"
Gordon, high as fuck and wishing he was MORE high because today has so far been A Whole Thing, now visibly relieved: "oh thank God that wasn't just/me/ seeing that then"
cannabis mention
"Damn, I knew I should have taken an extra edible this morning."
@SuricrasiaOnline it's practically canon he was high as fuck on morphine the whole time
@synthgal I was actually thinking psychedelics and not opioids
@SuricrasiaOnline @synthgal [h.e.v. voice] hey, hey, can you feel, like, the energy of everything connected?? beep boop
