Valve put out a casting call for "multiracial actresses" and this lady showed up and became Alyx's face model.
The thing is is that i don't know what races she is except being part black.
The "blasian" thing isn't stated anywhere nor does this lady have any real information about her parents on the internet.
I guess she might be blasian honestly but I couldn't tell you for sure. She's uh, definitely "multiracial"

To be totally honest with you: probably
There's not much you can do to overcome being a virgin at 27. Women expect you to have some kind of romantic experience by that age. There are fags who will tell you it's never too late, to get off the apps and join a club or something (terrible advice btw), but realistically at 27 women are looking to settle down and find someone to raise children with. They don't expect you to be a good father if you've never dated before. Sucks but that's how it is.

Its essentially about the teleportation of matter through the use of extremely dense elements.

Lol, it is spot on. Before I quit the Alma Mater i had two masters, a PhD, a “unpaid research position “ an “unpaid teaching position with room for advancement” and was running the photogrammetry section of the osteology department. I published 6 articles in respected peer reviewed journals that a total of 25 people read all together. My proudest accomplishment in 5 years there was cleaning out our huge basement storage section, sweeping up, clearing away notebooks from the 80s, building new wooden tables and chairs by hands, reorganizing and correcting the inventory of about 300 individual skeletized individuals, and rebuilding the wooden boxes they were in. Made me realize I should have become a carpenter. Academia is literally a joke and a scam. My “side hustle” is now my full time job and I have more money than I know what to do with, but I am a cheap stupid nigger Italian, so that’s nothing new.

So whats deal of women getting the 'ick from 25+yo virgins? Do they perceive them as worse humans? Or they dont want to get involved with them because they are either too lazy to learn them the ways of sex, dont want to hurt their feelings, or they are looking for a quick fuck or something? Doesnt this kind of honesty count to them? Dating a non-virgin guy doesnt always guarantee a good time. Virgins at least are 100% clean down there.

It's primal monkey brain shit. If you haven't gotten laid by a certain age, there's something wrong with you. You'd be a burden to your homo habilis tribe and take up space in the cave, so you've got to be ostracized.
And I say that as a 25+ virgin. At least that's how I perceive it. I could get along just fine with someone at work or whatever and the topic will get to girls and sex cause this is 99% of what normalfags talk about and as soon as they smell my "haha i havent had a gf in a long time" bullshit they'll IMMEDIATELY without fault switch to 'gotta keep my distance from this creep' mode.

I have no clue either, it's not like having sex magically turn you into a better human being and I'd figure that the entire virgin=no competition would at least register on their radar as something that can be exploited, not that it would be some kind of red flag.
I'm more convinced each day that women gives zero fucks about actually finding good partners/fathers for their future children and all they want is to play their hierarchy games with other women (and men apparently).

>>727210971
What your saying makes 0 logical sense, it would make more sense if a woman was still a virgin by that point since at least men have muscles and a higher tolerance for stress which makes them good meat shields at the very least, women with no children and no future prospects for them have less survival value than a man with the same difficulties.

I actually think it's hilarious that men are currently being dragged through the mud as the failure sex in MSM, we are all called man-children or incompetent but at the same time there isn't a single woman I've met under the age of 40ish that can hold a serious adult conversations about any "heavy" topic or that can actually be trusted to fulfill their roles in higher positions of power.

I assume that's what drives people to have children at this age. They start thinking about who's going to be around when you kick the bucket.

I think myself as well as many other zoomers have accepted that majority of us are gonna die early fighting this inhuman satanic post modern hell system. Quality of life is sinking further and further into third world shithole status, seas of browns keep coming into our countries unsupervised and unvetted, all of our leaders are child fucking pedos, Impossible to attain liberty and property now, goods and services are fucking garbage because of corner cuts and profit margin line must go up, taxation has reached ludicrous levels and the beaurocratic bots in office can't answer where all the money goes honestly. There's really nothing worth preserving in this shithole of a world and I'm fine burning it all to the ground. Thanks boomers for causing my lifetime of nothing but atruggle and hardship because you accepted jewish blood money. I'd honestly prefer dying fighting than continue to live as a slave.

The sad and frustrating reality is that you and any dude who actually wants a family or even just a romantic relationship has to meet these "slags" half way. Whats done is done, all anyone can hope for is that the people who made these retarded decisions learn enough from their mistakes to actually humble themselves and become better people that can actually give and receive love. You can't expect women to better themselves with no incentives to do so just like they shouldn't expect that from men, but if there is no chance for redemption then everyone has already lost.

I'm not saying that men should just give up on their standards and accept any woman no matter who she is or what she has done in her life, but you have to be willing to give them some slack, on what is going to be a very fucking short leash of compromise and women who want to actually have a decent shot at having a stable family needs to accept that they've not damaged themselves as much as they have damaged any trust in her that she is ever going to be given by even below-average men.

Almost 41 here, married, own a house, have a job I enjoy. I fucking hated college, and I don't keep track of anyone I hung out with back then. In retrospect, they were pretentious fucks who didn't treat me very nicely, and most ended up in dead end retail jobs or got stuck as perma-students. Most of my professors sucked, and I learned more in one week in a real job than I did in all my years in college.

What the fuck is the incentive to even get married anymore? It just seems like a heavily skewed sand trap for men nowadays because the state will always coddle and favor women so you'd be gambling away your entire lifes work if she ever becomes bored or insufferable.

Your kind of just proving my point, why would any woman, regardless of what she has done or how "quality" she is, willingly take your abuse and be "better" for (You)?

>>727214813
>To not be whores and actually be better women? I'd wager not many.
That is probably the most frustrating part for men, they just have to accept that if they REALLY want a family then you have to be willing to gamble on bad outcomes. All you can do is stack the wager in your favor and the same can be said for women since they are also gambling on similar stuff when they pick a partner and up until fairly recently they also gambled their financial success when entering a relationship which is why divorce law is the way it is.

They would most likely get stuck on the tram on the way to black Mesa since all of the doors needs you to use some sort of computer interface or eye scanners.

And to comment on that pic you posted, it's funny how tone deaf both boomers and millennials are when it comes to fostering the next generation. This shit could be easily solved if you actually gave zoomies a reason to care about tech in the first place and if you did more than ride their ass on how "dumb" they are for not understanding something they've never had to interact with.
It's like if some fag from the 1700's were complaining about how no man knows how to ride a fucking horse anymore.

It's called basic empathy and understanding that you can't get what you don't give. Acting like a self righteous bitch that has never made a mistake in their lives is exactly how we got into this mess to begin with and it is exactly how women are acting on social media right fucking now.

Don't blame me for having to explain the obvious.

Stop wearing your virginity like a robe of shame. Don't fucking bring it up with anyone and don't spend too much time talking about the past in general. Women just want to have fun with you and not have to plan shit if they're spending time with you they already want you to fuck them all you have to do is not talk them out of it. There are some light skills you can learn to help with that but you'll pick it up faster just dealing with bitches than me trying to explain it over the internet. Stop thinking about the shit.

There are things you can do outside of getting laid that can make you respect yourself in that way, you would have to push yourself in some way that they haven't and handle it in a way that makes you respect yourself. If you can do something like that getting laid won't even be intimidating.

>>727216839
ADHD, unironically. I've got the same type of tism and my thing was that if I had ANYTHING planed for the day that was at the end of that day then I would literally wake up, sit and wait (or kill time with pointless bullshit) for when I needed to get ready for said thing and then do the thing.

I fixed it by setting up my ENTIRE day in advance with google calendar so that it literally looked like this:
>Wake up
>Shit, Piss, Shower, Brush teeth
>Sit your ass down/pull your ass up off your seat and work/do literally anything
>Do thing
>Do thing
>Do thing
>(30 min before event) get ready for event
>Drive there
>Do event
>FREE TIME
>Brush teeth
>Bed time

Something about seeing everything planned out for me in advance removed the cognitive block that I had and let me start making decisions again.

Love is all that matters man. I'm the youngest, my middle sister is the only virgin of the three siblings but she's the most successful and making 6 figures. My oldest sister fucked a ton and is in a weird depressive spiral now that she's in her 40s. I'm only 30 and am already disabled due to the army. Out of all of us, I'm the one with the most life and world experience, but we all try to help each other out and make up for each other's shortcomings.
I think you acknowledging the fact that there's room for improvement and your urge to be a beacon for you younger brother is enough of an indicator that your a good brother, you just gotta plant your feet and keep being the best person you can be. Life isn't fair but you can't let it dictate how you are as a person.

Yeah, I agree, it's being clearly pushed culturally right now, the people here think they are the aware ones and everyone else are NPCs but they are just another side of the coin, two sides of an ideology that create friction against each other and move us where the elites want us to go. It creates a good excuse for Thiel etc. to get permission to crack down hard.

I spent almost 30 years of my life trying to make something out of myself, just to have any semblance of impact, but there's always something fucking me over
I know I can't change the world on my own, and it's better to focus on improving your little corner, it's just that I keep getting demoralized and effectively paralyzed by depression and indecisiveness, at the same time I don't want to just give up and accept being a nobody

If you are 20+ and havent fucked, you should go visit a hooker, several times probably. It wont cure your loneliness, but at least you will learn how to fuck. If you don't and get a girlfriend eventually, the smell of cunt may shock you. And you will have le epic fail instead of first time.

I work on the writing team for the soon-to-be-revealed Half-Life 3: Episode 1 and I can confirm for you that Gordon Freeman has not only aged every single day since the events of Half-Life 2: Episode 3, but he will start Half-Life 3: Episode 1 by being heavily augmented by the combine in an opening scene heavily inspired by the "Strogification" sequence of Quake 4.

ewwww. I don't want to pay money to frivolously do something with limitations, that I didn't want to do in the first place, because I place high value on traditional values.
>several times probably
why do you fucking normies always want everybody to become a whore or a manwhore? genuinely curious. My life is good as it is, it truly is. I have job, money, hobbies, etc. Why do you think I must experience somebody else jerking me off, when I could do it myself or with toys?
>It wont cure your loneliness
I am not lonely. It's a principled position against degeneracy, because I want everybody and the world to do and be better. I'm a volcel. Also, I don't like the law and the current culture that is anti-men. They don't need nor want me, just my resources.
>but at least you will learn how to fuck.

>If you don't and get a girlfriend eventually, the smell of cunt may shock you
why would I smell a cunt or get a girlfriend in the first place? the 24 hours in a day aren't enough for me as it is. There is so much I want to do and video games to play...
>And you will have le epic fail instead of first time.

I have confirmed on multiple occasions that i not only occupy a tiny space in the minds of a few anons but also occupy their hard drives with my meme edits and drawings.
My legacy will die once this data corrupts

Fine I will tell my story since I mentioned it in this topic. I didn't want this to happen to my dad so when Covid hit I listened to his request and got the vaccine, in my right arm, 3 days later my right submandibular gland swelled up, I got neuropathy that got into a bunch of teeth on the right side. I developed what my immunologist so far thinks is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome immediately, meaning almost all medications for the condition, any drugs to feel better, almost all foods, hurts my organs, and seems to cause damage as I keep developing multiple hernias, tears in my stomach, my urethra collapsed and hurts all the time still after having it surgically reconstructed. After cutting out the painful gland it started spreading throughout the right side of my face, into my right ear and eye. Right now all I can do is take Prednisone for relief until it fucks my body up, or let it spread, my specialists told me I need to find highly specialized experts because they have done everything they could and it won't go into remission or anything.

It is a 1600lb obligate carnivore apex predator that whose diet is heavily weighed by deliciously squealing mammals, and will use it's uniquely (among bears at least) long and sharp claws to nearly fully exsanguinate your flesh in the quick but horrific process of mutilating and mauling you, as it drags you screaming to death.

I hope I get approved for MAID in Canada for mental illness.
If you don't peacefully die, then you are forced to reincarnate to further feed the Demiurge. And, currently, the odds of reincarnating as a disgusting pajeet or nigger are terrifyingly high.

Remember; no matter what, if you suicide it has to be painless and non-traumatic. A final piece of wizard advice...
Do not go into the light, but step not backwards into the darkness. Instead, embrace the final terror and let your soul become the smoke of the universe, away from this Earthly prisons magnetic field.

Most people throughout human history had to do some kind of bullshit to survive. It was about survival which is doing something. It's a relatively new invention that half your population comprising several hundred million people can just lollygag about doing nothing of consequence and just exist and be fine.

I'm 33 and have done nothing with my life.

>>727220842
No it won't. I've done nothing with my life and I'm certainly not going to start doing the things that would put me in physical proximity of a polar bear.

To be fair scanners are horribly designed. A while back I was helping my parents set up a new they bought and it was like pulling teeth. And troubleshooting those things is a mess.

Does trying to be a drawfag count as doing anything with your life?

Nah, you're mythicizing sex a little too much
My first time was with a hooker and it's a good memory, I was sixteen, just got a paycheck from my summer job and wanted to see what all the fuss was about, had to do a lot of research to find any prostitutes in my area, steal a car from my parents and get it back so they wouldn't notice, cover my absence at school, it was a fun little black operation and the girl not only turned out to be pretty attractive but also put a lot of effort into coaching me about how things should be done and made sure I wasn't stressed out
Sure, a lot of it was pure dumb luck and there was a thousand things that could've gone terribly wrong along the way but at least I have a fun memory

Yeah I'm 30, just trying to change now (particular circumstances made it possible only recently), this is my biggest fear. Deep down Im aware im past it, but if I don't keep hope alive I might as well cease to exist.

The worst part is the inflammation that seems to be in the tissue of my brain that feels like it's hollowing out my soul, when I take prednisone I start to feel things normal humans feel again and it was extremely emotional when I found out prednisone did this for me and I was able to feel these things again. Now I would rather die than stop taking it, even though it's going to start giving me ulcers and fucking up my bone growth, haven't even read too far into the specifics of what it's going to do to me as I have no choice.

I managed to get quite decent on a good day when I put in much effort into it. But most of the time I doodle and try to be quick to fulfill anons wishes
It can be hit or miss.

>>727221651
Thanks. After 3 years when I started to get the hang of it I must say, finishing a new best drawing feels kinda fulfilling in away.
I love videogames and play them everyday but they never made me feel that

>>727222028
masters folds into the phd in most plans PhD out the gate of a BS degree is usually 4-6 years, with a masters you're looking at 3.

I am one of the watchers in charge of manipulating this thread of time, and through a consort with a coven of witches, I guaranteed that, through some manner of cosmic circumstance, you will in fact meet your eventual demise at the teeth and claws (and gastrointestinal tract) of a very hungry, very horny polar bear.

I used to think this too, but I realized happiness just manifests in different ways once men become adults.

It's more of a "content" feeling.

>>727215168
it feels good to trauma dump a stranger sometimes. I went to one session and immediately felt a small weight lifted from my chest.

of course, it's not like anything actually changes unless you want it to. men have to create their own happiness.

For all the anons in this demoralization thread who feel kinship with the guy who did nothing, get out of this thread, do anything else which is meaningful for you. Dont ever be lazy and yet don't expect anything much from anything. Life will get better if you realize it's all just an illusion and yet do things without desire.

Why does nobody ever mention that Gordon has a son in Half-Life 1?
>>
>>727222058
It's a beautiful hobby. If you're already at the level that you take request for anons then hats off to you. I've been drawing for 3 years as well but I'm nowhere near the level I'd feel comfortable showing it to anybody
>>
>>727221620
I wish you all the best anon, I really really do.

>>727222813
I just want to prove exactly what happened to me and I want everyone to know how and why it happened in a way nobody can deny, somehow. I can't die quietly, I loved my life, I had just learned how to be happy and not to suffer constantly mentally.

Someone could have made a fan spin-off game featuring Godron's son: Gary Freeman.

Some zoomers are at that age, and some even older.

Feel old yet Millennials? Need to face reality that it's not 2016 anymore. It's 2025.
