It's actually a bit surprising to me that we haven't seen contemporary meta brainfuck indie games do more than they have with 1990s point and click adventure games' penchant for developer-intended softlocks. That feels like something you could very easily spin as Saying Something.

HEY FELLOW ARTISTS!

If you're anything like me, you have several "rules" to your art that you follow strictly!

And I promise you it's holding you back!

Some "rules" you might be following that you should actually ignore:

No references allowed! Everything must be straight from your memory

Curve tool, circle tool, line tool? Illegal! Everything must be freehanded

Symmetry tool? Not allowed!

Copy+Paste with resizing and angling adjustments for duplicate parts? Scenery? No!

Clean lineart is a must! No sketchy lines

Stay inside the lines when coloring!

Everything needs to be PERFECT

And these rules are STUPID! The moment you learn to take it less seriously and drop the rules? You'll learn faster! Burn out less!

Want to challenge yourself, go ahead! You can apply those rules as a challenge! BUT your art? Your life? Does not need to be a constant challenge!

You are allowed to have fun with it and doodle as if it were scribbles in the margins of a lined worksheet

Not Everything has to be a masterpiece! Not everything has to be perfect!

And! You don't even have to share OR finish everything! It's OKAY to draw just to draw! It's okay to draw things and not finish them! It's okay to just scribble to try new brushes! It's OKAY to spend even HOURS on something that will never be posted because you're doing it for FUN or for PRACTICE!

A detail I find really interesting about Chell, GLaDOS, and Wheatley's first confrontation in Portal 2 is when Wheatley starts gloating about taking over the facility. "I did this! Tiny little Wheatley did this!"

And GLaDOS interjects like, "You didn't do this. She did all the work!"

I find that interjection fascinating because. Like.

GLaDOS doesn't actually know anything about what happened behind the scenes. She lost track of Chell and Wheatley after Wheatley opened up a wall panel and they bolted off together into the facility's inner workings. She doesn't see them again until Chell falls for her fake door trap, at which point GLaDOS is unpleasantly surprised to discover that Chell's disabled the turrets and neurotoxin in the meantime.

She has no evidentiary foundation to base that accusation on.

This is also before GLaDOS recognizes Wheatley as the Dumbass Core, so it's not based on an assessment of him.

The only explanation it leaves is that it's based on her assessment of Chell. Despite GLaDOS's enmity towards Chell, the one thing she rarely goes after Chell for is her intelligence.

When she does, it's an admission of her high standards for Chell; Like when the fake door trap works and GLaDOS concedes, "I didn't actually think that would work. I already built a much better, smarter trap up ahead for when this one fails." That's a backhanded insult. It's calling her dumb, but in a disappointed way rather than an affirming way.

Chell tests very well. Between the two games, GLaDOS has developed a strong understanding of Chell's aptitude for critical thinking and problem-solving in stressful situations.

And so she takes it on faith, just from what she knows of Chell, that Wheatley is stealing Chell's credit.
