> Grump shows Oscar a color rendering of six trash cans stacked on top of each other.

“Grump Tower,” he says, giving the “u” a faux-European pronunciation. “It’s a duplex can-dominium.”

Oscar is intrigued. His friend Maria is horrified.

@Yuuki This is ridiculous, I love it

user15026

Oddly, this makes me want to keep working to finish Portal (yes, I know everyone else has already completed it but shhhhh. I made it to Test Chamber 15 last night and I am RIDICULOUSLY proud of myself.)

Yuuki

I'm still confused as to why that shrine is subtitled "Red Giveaway".

GodEmperorDune

@Ash original portal?

Yuuki

Maybe because the metal box is sunk into the side and the Magnesis "red" gives it away as something that's key to the puzzle?

11:04 PM

@GodEmperorDune Yes

user15026

It was one of those games I figured I'd never be able to finish but I am trying so hard

user15026

sometimes I gotta look stuff up but still, I am managing to do the things

Yuuki

Ugh, I don't like that the only options I have to upload my Switch screenshots are Twitter and Facebook.

GodEmperorDune

@Ash i couldn't get to the real ending for the longest time

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I don't know how much I have left to go but I wanna try and see if I can do it

@Ash the music makes it all worthwhile

also portal 2 was fun but is IMO more based on timing things

One thing I love about Portal is how far it can be broken to make it faster

Memor-X

@GodEmperorDune real ending? there's a fake ending?

GodEmperorDune

@Memor-X the ending where you discover the truth of the cake

thats the fake ending

murgatroid99

With practice and skipping a few test chambers, I can finish the whole game in about 45 minutes. But I have a friend who's good at out of bounds portals, and can beat the whole thing in about 5 minutes

GodEmperorDune

11:11 PM

@murgatroid99 wut

Memor-X

@GodEmperorDune ....so is that the one where you murder GLaDOS?

i always thought there was the one ending

GodEmperorDune

@Memor-X that's the real ending

the fake ending is when you complete all the tests and you get awarded the cake

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune The models of the test chambers are all loaded in, so if you get out of bounds, you can just portal to near the end of the game, with very precise aim

Memor-X

@GodEmperorDune so you just don't try to escape and die in the incinerator?

GodEmperorDune

@Memor-X yes, i was unable to escape the incinerator for a very long time

Memor-X

11:14 PM

@GodEmperorDune ahhhhh. didn't think of that as an ending

OKAY, PANIC.

There were some routing issues from our Melbourne POP back to our origin, causing error pages for some users. Things look stable again now.

Woo! Looked at four hourses today.

murgatroid99

@Frank For a second when I saw that I thought you meant "horses", not "houses"

Frank

@murgatroid99 ...Dammit. Stupid finger autopilot.

@murgatroid99 i thought it was hours

Actually, my very first thought was that he was talking about Four Horsemen, a Legacy Magic: the Gathering deck that actually isn't legal to play in tournaments because of some nuances in the rules

Chippies

paid $12.48 CAD for it

I think it's a pretty good deal

RedRiderX

@Chippies wait wat

user15026

@Chippies Nicely done

Chippies

@RedRiderX if you trade-in WiiU towards purchase of Switch, you pay 249.99$ instead of 399.99$ + if you trade in WiiU games towards any Switch related stuff, you get double credits

if it wasn't for the 15% tax, we would've paid nothing and would have some credit left over

Yuuki

@Chippies Very nice, I hope you like it.

@Yuuki well I mean, for the price, it's excellent :P

I played BotW for about an hour before I went to sleep after work, it was pretty good

the 30 fps was a bit annoying when I was moving the camera around much, but other than that it's not bad

Q: How can I defeat a Cardinal and their orb?

At a relatively early point in the main story I'm meeting a Cardinal, and it didn't go well for me. I did see one a bit earlier on Eos, but I assumed I had entered a bit too high-level area accidentally and reloaded. It seems that I can only target the Cardinal's Orb, and even then once I dest...

Mad Scientist

Those fucking Cardinals are annoying. They regenerate some kind of shield, so I can't kill them. And they have a one hit kill if they manage to get close to you. I must be missing something about this, otherwise that is a huge jump in difficulty

@MadScientist my hype for MEA has been rapidly deflating
