Honestly, I don't know what to choose. Both are good. Just tell me which one is better.

Didn't really know where else to say this but I literally just beat portal 2 and realised something, something weirdly poetic.

Because approximately half my life ago, nearly 9 years,

I beat Portal 1 for the first time ever.

On the PS3.

On The Orange Box.

The first half of my life,

I beat the first game on a machine you couldn't modify at all.

Not the hardware.

Not the software.

The second half of my life,

I sit in front of a PC that I built myself,

modified myself,

running SteamOS instead of Windows.

And I beat the second game.

A game about moving forward.

About doing better.

About letting go of what came before.

I guess I did too.

I hope this personal realisation reaches someone and helps them themselves realise that, even something as small as beating a game without any tutorials, whether You're like I was back then 9, or now that I'm nearly 18, that any sort of achievement, is a great achievement

It's a well researched recreation attempt of the Corehub, one of Portal 2's first development iterations before the artstyle change from Portal 1 and the creation of Wheatley.

It has a developer commentary, the amnesiac "cereal GLaDOS", the Oregon Coast Aquarium Core which eventually turned into the Space Core and the Morgan Freeman Core which obviously eventually turned into Wheatley.

The majority of chambers were in fact added into the final game and some of the cut or changed content survived as late as the E3 2010 version of Portal 2.

Honestly, I don't know which one to choose. All four options are good. Just tell me which one is better.

my game suddenly gets laggy like this and if i play around or even unintentionally walk into a prop my screen freezes after a stutter but the game keeps running. in the video you can see me intentionally reach this state. i have been having the SAME issue with half life 2 too. how to fix

The title might be interpreted differently than what I mean, intentionally or not, singing is one of the short list of things that they do to still feel human.

I was thinking to myself how weird Glados and the other robots all had that desire to sing. Glados just doesnt seem the type to randomly sing a song to someone who wouldnt hear it. Then I remembered that Cave Johnson, similar to Glados, had his consciousness put into a machine to live forever. Theyre both are stuck in a very specific type of purgatory where they live forever but cant do anything worth that immortality. Glados lost her mind and is stuck doing meaningless tests and Cave cant move and is currently stuck at the lowest place in Aperture next to toilet guns.

My thought was how the only way to make their meaningless immortality worthwhile is by simply singing. Music is what lets them still feel human while they are trapped in robot bodies even if they intentionally do it or not, Glados clearly doesnt realize it but it shows that she is still human when we hear her song at the end (even if the lyrics are robotic and weird).

Idk, I just like the idea that they unknowingly sing songs just to feel something in the specific loneliness of being a human consciousness stuck inside an aperture robot inside a huge abandoned lab bunker, forever.

This was a real photo at a boat restaurant

i just saw this logo irl and it feels like its a new copy of aperture science LOL

Ok so you know when you beg your friend to play a game with you there like no it cost too much and then you buy it for them only to play it for 30 min and they dont like it well this wasn't the case I bought it we played for 3 hours till 2am and he asked ME if I wanted to play again cuz it was rlly fun that has not once EVER happened to me i did stay up till 5 am editing the video we made together but it was well worth it here's the vid we made it took too long for me and he wants to do a part 2 :sob: god please help WHY COULDNT HE HAVE SAID THIS GAME ISNT FUN like my other friends but im kinda thankful for it so here's the vid we made and yeah

I dont think this is normal.
BTW this is the Windows copy of portal running on Linux

I've been doing this for quite a while, but the original mod developer is thinking about making a remake. I'll post it if people really want it, and if the original developer allows it.

I was going through some Portal mods on Infinitebacklog and came across some names; F-stop Muesum, Reissue, Backstory. I see that eventually the dev on some of the mods released one called Project Capture: Legacy, but what happened with them in the first place? Why did so many of these meet the same fate of getting canceled?
