JMain Character, the show where someone's day gets ruined by the internet and we pick a side.
NAnd the main character tonight might be a twenty-year-old video game.
JPortal fans, this is your moment. Valve's canceled prequel, the one with a camera instead of a portal gun, is now playable.
NModders rebuilt it from leaked code and assets. Nearly twenty years sitting in a vault, and now it's out.
JThe gimmick: you snap a photo of an object, then drop it somewhere else. So it's basically moving furniture with extra steps.
NDon't undersell it. This is a lost piece of Valve history. People have wanted this since 2007.
JI'm not saying I won't play it. I'm saying I'll spend three hours stacking boxes, and I'll feel weirdly proud.
NThe chosen one of internet gaming: make a box float and everyone loves you.
JSpeaking of seeking attention online, a new wave of thirst posts is making people ask: is posting shirtless now mandatory?
NOne account, Ryland Grace, posted: everyone is shirtless or showing off, do I have to do this? Is this a trend?
JThe answer is no. You don't have to. But the internet would like to see the effort.
NA different post says it's basically gay Halloween: fun outfits and that bicep heart trend. So the people are thriving.
JLook, if you've got it, post it. If you don't, there's still that portal-halloween crossover nobody asked for.
NDon't mix those two. No one needs a shirtless modded camera game.
JActually, that might break the internet. Somebody's already building it, I guarantee you.
