I cringed so much when I got to the "lucky dog" part of the game. Like: Barney, what the hell? I hope you only said that because you think Alyx is a worthy member of the Resistance and because, well, she's the daughter of a great scientist and a distinguished rebel, and that's some kind of status thing.

In general, I am very confused by the fact that everyone around Gordon cannot add 2+2 and understand that he must be almost 50.

I would like to add to my thoughts about this ship: Barney has obvious complex PTSD, it will be very difficult for him to exist in peacetime, and there is a high probability that he will simply drown in alcohol addiction. I doubt that a young girl like Alyx is capable of bringing out such a problematic relationship. She has the height of her youth and she should live it happily, and not waste her strength and nerves trying to rehabilitate a 42-year-old veteran. I'm not trying to discredit people with PTSD, it's just that Barney clearly needs someone more mature, and Alyx doesn't deserve such a relationship.

they say that Alyx is ​​being infantilized and that they are all fully formed 20-24 year old individuals - let them look at themselves in their youth in 20 years

It seems to me that because of Barney's cute face, people don't fully understand that he is 42 years old, and they don't take his whole traumatic experience seriously.

I think my problem with valhoun kinda lies in the fact that, unlike Gordon, Barney didn’t get whisked away to an unknown location for 20 years? And knowing the guy is labeled a resistance leader (and the fact he’s hanging around Kleiner- who we know Alyx spent a lot of her formative years around) I can only think that at least at some point he met Alyx while she was growing up. Idk it’s just odd to think he’d disappear and not be involved in helping the resistance for 20 odd years to then suddenly manifest the minute she turns of legal age, you know what I mean?

also like. she was 4 around the ResCas incident with Barney being already 20+ at the time so any potential interaction beyond that point would purely make any future relationship platonic/familial.

If Barney were a flower, he would be a forget-me-not

I've been thinking about him for 4 years now

It's a shame that almost everyone perceives Barney as just a cheerful boozer, even though he's been through almost more shit than Gordon and Alyx combined.
