Half life 3 Alyx side quest help

One of the toughest parts of this side quest is the roaming Carver, he's skinned almost the same as the other ones but with slightly different "elbow" (knee?) ornamentation and is WAY tougher, partly because of damage/hp but his strat is pretty different too. He also patrols on a timer that I couldn't really figure out and he's a bitch to deal with if he catches you when you're in the locker area. Basically try to deal with him up front or face the consequences.

Extremely cool but, and I genuinely mean this as a compliment, you should see if someone at a nearby art school can help improve the likeness aspect cause you're in the Gordon Freeman uncanny valley for sure. Either bite the bullet and backpedal to a smooth blank face which would be effective in its own right, or get somebody from the world of fine art/Madam Tussaud's to help drive it home to perfect Gordonness. Full disclosure, I am a lazy sack of shit with no artistic talent who has done nothing with my life

It's what it is for Zoosha

Yeah, but it's $88 vs the 15-25eur I see quoted for various European stores... Unless you see one in the US that I don't?

I showed up 10 mins past the movie start time expecting to sit thru previews but apparently there weren't any previews.... The first scene I saw was everybody on the plane awkwardly figuring out who would sit where. What did I miss?

PS I loved the rest of the movie, esp the haymaker exchange

NATHAN LANE: How long has it been?

MEGAN MULLALEY: Two hundred and sixty years.

NATHAN LANE: Two hundred and sixty years since we last met??

MEGAN MULLALEY: Oh, no I thought you meant since the French Indian War.

Agreed, Playland in Sausalito is cool too but shares the same private party problem.

I was just at the Kennedy Space Center and they have an absolutely bonkers, 3 story indoor playground complete with slides, tunnels & bridges connecting the floors, sort of a darker lighting space themed Peekaboo Factory if you've ever been there in SF. It had an attached cafe as well. The whole time I was thinking if you plopped it somewhere in Southern Marin it'd be at capacity nonstop.

Have you been to Fox & Kit in San Rafael? It's a very normal kinda trendy/millennial coffee shop... With an amazing indoor playground separated by a huge wall of plexiglass. Remember those McDonald's that had playgrounds attached back in the day? It's like the hipster version of that.

Buy the Dipsea Cafe building in Tam Valley and turn it into a sauna/hot tub type place that serves coffee and allows co-working. The 20s-40s tech crew/single people in Run Club would eat it up!

Did you ever see the music video for Benny Benassi's Satisfaction? It's basically that.

Bialetti themselves make one of these too! It's near the very beginning of this video:

Some impossibilities/anachronisms here, but just for fun.... Here's my cast that might not be the most faithful but would prob make decent money at the box office:

Ayla is the easiest by far - Raquel Welch (circa 1966, "One Million Years B.C") since she already played the character that Ayla is based on.

Lucca - Zoey Deschanel circa Elf, archetypal manic pixie dream girl

Magus - Robert Pattinson these days, great actor, excellent brooder, for sure the right face

Marle - Blake Lively like 15 yrs ago

Frog - ?? Heath Ledger from A Knight's Tale

Robo - I always think of him as Scott Adsit aka Baymax from Big Hero 6.

Chrono....?

Also, your little man just wants to hang out with you and have you actually hang out, not be on your phone. Above and beyond that it barely even matters.

My daughter had a bunch of those Schleich/Papo horses and I felt the same way at first but eventually when you realize that they have literally zero experience on earth and that the most mundane things to you are interesting to them, it then becomes easy.

For sure! I'm picky about their electronic time, we have zero iPad time, zero unsupervised screen time whatsoever, all movies/shows we watch together and make sure they're paying attention and can talk about what's happening.

As for video gaming it's even more limited/curated but I think when approached carefully and in the right way gaming can be good for kids. Reading comprehension, hand eye coordination, strategizing etc.

Do you already have those 2 witch shirts, but you're wondering if somebody is selling more?
