I saw a post the other day about “the Portal renaissance” basically about how new people consistently come into the fanbase due to Portal 2 going on sale on Steam every so often. That’s probably the actual explanation for a whole lotta people, but that wasn’t for me, and it got me thinking about my introduction to it. So I decided it would be fun for me to reflect on the story of how I discovered it, and then post about it because blebityblehbleh parasocial strangers’ approval blibbityblooblah
In 2017, Lego Dimensions sets started showing up at 99 cent stores. I was 15, and I still liked legos but I knew how expensive they were so I always looked for bargains. I really wanted the Jurassic World set, but I never found it. I still got quite a few, and one in particular sorta stuck with me.
The other sets all ended up used in miscellaneous ways for like brick built dinosaurs and transformers and stuff, but I decided to keep the cube and Chell built. Every so often I’d look at them, they lived on a shelf with my lego clone troopers, and I’d think “I should look up what those come from, it seems pretty cool” but because I was a dumb ass adhd teenager I never got around to it.
Then in 2020 I discovered RTgame’s YouTube channel through his Minecraft videos, he was my #1 fav channel for a few months, so I started working through his backlog. My favorite videos were the ones where he played with CallMeKevin, so I looked for those videos specifically and found out they played Portal 2, that thing that the lego things were from! So I watched it, and it looked fun and stuff, I liked the robots and the sci fi aesthetic, but through the screams of these Irish idiots I heard snippets of the most heavenly voice that ever graced my ears.
And something in my gay little brain just clicked and I just needed to hear her more.
Luckily, this video popped up in my recommendations thanks to raniel and kev, and it gave me fucking hives, and I became a GLaDOS junkie
I started eyeing the fandom from afar, but I very rarely ventured outside my niche, that being Portal 2 GLaDOS voice line compilations on YouTube. If I ever needed cheering up or had trouble sleeping I listened to her, I didn’t need any context because she was funny and had the most radiant beautiful voice I ever heard, and it stayed that way for a while.
I built a lego glabos late 2020 that I’ve consistently upgraded, but I’ve decided not to stray for 100% accuracy because I’m just not skilled enough.
That was it for like 2 years, I had the lego, I liked the GLaDOS voice, I was happy. Then in January 2022 I was looking for a Blu-ray DVD player since I started living on my own. Then my little brother suggested I get a video game console, and I realized there were a few older games that I really wanted to play, so I took his advice and looked up what consoles had Transformers: War For Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron, and Lego Jurassic World.
X box 1 had them but x boxes cost like $300. Ps4s had them and were a bit cheaper but still over $100.
Then I saw that all 3 games were available on PS3. So I looked up the prices and I found some used for like $70.
On January 6, 2022, I got this PS3 from a used games shop for something like $40, and War For Cybertron to go with it.
I wanted to find a co-op game to play with him since he had the idea, but he found one for me on January 20th. He said “my friend told me this is about robots, a lesbian computer, and a creepy facility, so I thought you’d like it. Plus it has a two-player mode so we can play it since you still haven’t found Lego Jurassic World”
I hadn’t even checked if Portal 2 was on PS3 previously. After my first play through of the singleplayer campaign I cried my ass off and told him it was the best gift ever.
It was the thing that triggered me to actually start getting into the community, and I luckily started in the right place: looking through the GLaDOS tag on Archive of our own. Then I became a Chelldos addict and now I feel like I’ve been here for years.
Later I found the Orange Box to play Portal 1 and then everything came full fucking circle
Basically, the reason I got into Portal is because I’m a cheapskate who watches twitch clips on YouTube
Since it’s the dmc original anniversary! I have to say congratulations on passing 21 years of true creativity and success ✨⚡️, and with it I give another post of dmc characters resemblance to other characters in other anime , last time it was Vergil and this time it’s trish !!!! ⚡️⚡️
I love this thunder queen and seeing ‘ duchess astharoshe asran ‘ resemblance to trish in the first two games in both her arts is crazy cool , the upper on is dmc and the lower is dmc2 , tell me you can’t see that and it goes well with dmc 4 idea of her spying so imagine her acting as duchess while living with vampires, ohhhhh the idea is just exciting , once again happy anniversary to all you dmc fans and to its original creator
Mild Esther Redesign, cause she looks waaay too pale for someone who's supposed to be mixed and lives in the desert

Finally finished my redraw of the plasmids sign and I'm so excited with how it turned out! BioShock my beloved 💖
For those wondering what game it was I picked up the other night, it was Folklore. Seemed like an interesting underrated game that I can get sucked into. By the end of next month I'll be playing my PS3. 😁 #gamergirl #gamergirlsofinstagram #gamergirlfriend #nerd #nerdygirl #sony #playstation #sonygirl #ps3 #ps3games #folklore https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQNKGDOQlz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
