    Finally got around to playing the first Portal and it made me laugh

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 12:56 PM PST

    So I've played and replayed Portal 2 for years now and finally was like, "ya know what, I should try the first game", and with how extensive Portal 2 was I expecting some grand campaign with a deep story but 2 hours later I was done and confused.

    Now let me set this straight the first Portal game was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing it but it confused me and made me laugh because I was simply wondering how a 2 hour game of you doing tests for a robot that you eventually kill leads up to Portal 2.

    I say this because Portal 2 has HOURS of more gameplay than the first one and the lore within it is sooo much deeper so it just amused me how the Portal series went from indie like game of short gameplay and minimal story to Triple A game with hours of gameplay and a good amount of lore.

    Whether it be Portal 3 or another puzzle game I sure do hope Valve comes out with it soon haha.

    Regarding Aperture's bankruptcy

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 06:22 AM PST

    TLDR: See bottom text

    Aperture Science (known prior as Aperture Fixtures) was founded in the early 1940s and primarily made its fortune from the sale of shower curtains, with Cave Johnson winning the "Shower Curtain Salesman of 1943" award. It was during this period that the bulk of Cave's great wealth emerged, as his curtains were sold in mass production to the general public.

    However, since being rebranded as Aperture Science Innovators in 1947, the company shifted its focus onto experimental physics, employing a formerly abandoned salt mine in Upper Michigan as a hub to become the second largest US military contractor only following Black Mesa. It can be speculated that as the company developed from "fixtures" to military projects, much, if not all of the income from shower curtains dried up and was replaced by direct government funding for military projects.

    Starting from the early 1960s, Aperture's financial situation would gradually degrade to desperate levels. Compelled to abandon their previous "astronauts, war heroes, olympians" due to insufficient funding and kidnap homeless people instead, the semi-derelict state of the test shafts constructed later on in the 70s, lacking basic sphere panels and equipment betrays the dire economic state of the business. It was at this time that Cave himself incessantly raved in his pre-recorded messages of this, scapegoating Black Mesa as the source of his imminent bankruptcy.

    It appears that this trend was not reversed by the onset of the 1970s and 80s, as Aperture's situation had deteriorated to the point of relegating testing to employees themselves. Cave subjected the company to even further strain via his industrial-scale purchase of moon rocks, resulting in the ensuing "Don't Make Lemonade" rant and his initiation of the 3-stage salvation plan consisting of the Heimlich counter-manoeuvre, the Take-a-Wish foundation and the furthering of the Portal project. Following this, Cave succumbs to his fate.

    TLDR:

    The sources for Aperture's financial fate following Cave's death are virtually non-existent and there's no mention of them until 1998 with the development of GLaDOS. My 2 questions are:

    ​

    1. Given their funding from the US MoD itself and the numerous scientific breakthroughs established, how did Aperture really go bankrupt? Did the government catch up with their unethical experiments and halt funding from 1968 onwards?

    My second, more important question is:

    1. Given the host of legal (1968 hearings), economic and social (running out of employees from testing) calamities befalling Aperture, how did they miraculously rise from a failed tech enterprise into developing giant, polished test chambers, sentient AI projects, cryostasis chambers, reserve and main power grids, and everything seen by Portal 1 and 2? There are no apparent sources regarding this and there is a giant gap in the sources from the mid 70s onwards.

    Mod/plugin request

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 12:16 PM PST

    Hi

    I was wondering if there was any mod or plugin that brings Portal 1's crosshair which tells you wether or not you can place a portal available for Portal 2 ?

    ​

    Thanks

    Portal Stories VR while seated

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 09:03 AM PST

    I'm trying to play Portal Stories VR on my reverb G2 while seated but I can't look around with the thumbstick. Should I be able to? I'm not sure if it's a configuration problem or if the game is designed that way.
