And honestly? What a mood. Haha YES indeed.
Major disservice to the community by not posting the full comic
friend, the Black Mesa Research Facility was destroyed by the US military via nuclear bomb
Apatrue has lots of fire escapes and stuff they Chell refuses to use because the game devs gave her a large hitbox/invisible walls. There are gaps in plating and wall and bent doors you could crawl through to escape in real life. And there was a period of like 99999999999 years where glados was dormant. So statistically shes not going to be online when you are there.
If my options are ground zero of a hostile alien invasion or an AI who gets a dopamine rush when I finish solving a puzzle for her, I’m picking the one who gives me solvable puzzles.
except that the hit from testing wears off almost immediately! GLaDOS is totally effected by the Itch & no longer has any form of release from it, but she was only ever in it for the science anyway (her words, not mine). in fact, based on what she spends her time actually doing, i think we can surmise that her “love for science” mostly means killing people? in the Portal 2 co-op campaign & DLC co-op campaign she gains access to presumably thousands of test subjects in stasis, and kills every single one of them in a matter of weeks. the incentive GLaDOS has to keep human test subjects alive seems to entice her very little; she just loves to end human life too much. that is what science is to her, because she was built to be a successor to a man who pretty much thought the scientific process is unnecessary loss of life in random puzzle rooms.
saying “are you haunted? are you fucking possessed?” is my favorite way to express my taking issue with someone else’s behavior. like brother you are acting so strange and unlike yourself that the only explanation is you are being tormented by a spirit of some kind.
It’s always fun to be reminded how recent European national identities are. Peasants in 1860’s Sicily had never heard the term “Italy” before, the majority of people in France didn’t speak French at the time of the French Revolution, etc.
from the observations of a british diplomat in the ukraine in 1912, quoted in Bini Adamczacks Beziehungsweise Revolution
[when one asks the avarage peasant farmer in the ukraine about his nationality, he will answer, he is “greek-orthodox”; when one pushes him to say whether he is a russian, a pole, or a ukranian, he will answer, he is a farmer; and when one demands demands to find out which language he speeks, he will say that he speaks “the language from around here”. … i.e. when one wants to find out which state he would like to belong to – whether he would rather be governed by an pan-russian or a specifically ukranian government – one will find out, that in his opinion, all governments are a plague on the land, and it would be best, if the “christian peasantfolk” were left to themselves.]
“average cat owner spends 3 years in prison” factoid actualy just statistical error. average owner spends 0 years in prison. Miette’s mother, who kicked her body like the football and went to jail for One Thousand Years is an outlier adn should not have been counted
I love how every single Georg post observes the original’s typo
