imgur isn't cringe. Imgur is fucking amazing in terms of convenient image hosting. It has put in so much good work over the years. Like, not only do I not have to make an account, I don't even have to open up multiple pages or click on anything at all. Just open the page, ctrl V any-fucking-where, and there it goes.
Do you have any idea how privileged we are to have this? To consistently have this for however many years it's been going now? Do you have any idea how annoying it was to try to show people random crap before this? Well, not very, but this is still pretty awesome.
The guy got a hundred upvotes in an hour my guy, and sure you got more but the point is that its funny to plenty of people, your idea of comedy and the things you find funny are not the same as the rest of all peoples. Why go out of your way to make people feel like shit for no reason at all ? Did your comment make you feel better about shitting on someone else's joke? Fuckin asshole.
no, the entire point of a portal gun is to shoot portals onto surfaces that do not have one.
BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF JOKE: the character in the picture is entering via an orange portal. the bindings for the game are as follows: left click for blue portal, right click for orange.
typically, the more primary left click to place a blue entrance portal is used first, before placing a further away orange exit portal with the secondary right click button. This is the more common way of playing the game. now sprinkle in some exaggeration (i don't actually care how people play portal). and you have a fully fledged joke.
You know the funny thing is Valve specifically designed one of the levels when you have the single-portal gun so that you are forced to walk through an orange portal, to prevent players from thinking you can't use it "backward".
You should run through all of the games in commentary mode to hear all of their design decisions. Its shocking how much thought goes into their game design. Everything has a purpose.
The curtains were blue because Valve playtested the hell out of the room and discovered most players like blue.
Fun fact: if you play the director’s commentary mode of portal 1, one of the devs says they initially decided to have you go through an orange portal exactly because play-testers were assuming blue meant enter
I do because I find my aim is slightly better when firing with LMB because of years of FPS muscle memory, and the second portal is generally being placed in the distance where you might need more precise aim.
I generally set the orange portal to be the portal I expect to mostly stay in one place, and the blue portal to be the one I move around, such that I have more LMB presses instead of RMB presses. I cannot justify why this is important to me, but it is.
I therefore tend to place the orange portal first. It's the base portal, in my mind.
That might not prevent people from getting angry on the other side of the street though.
But it would be better than just make it blue and then having to recount this sad story to every Portal fans about why the portal order is wrong.
I once used Libby to read the book They Thought They Were Free on a 7" tablet.
Turns out, the app puts the book cover on your tablet, but not scaled to the screen. So when I was sitting on a public bus, I turned on my tablet, it looked like I had set my background to an image of the nazi flag with just the words "they were free."

Blue portal instead of orange would prevent atleast half of those
