My 12yo is into #retrogaming and has recently become obsessed with Portal. He wanted to make a weighted companion cube PC case so I helped him with the 3D printing and laser cutting. These points of data make a beautiful line. Full blog post on how we made it here:

A while ago I discovered someone made an e-ink Portal-inspired calendar. Well last week I finally caved, and bought all the parts to make my own!
This was my first foray into using an ESP32 (as well as soldering) so all things considered, I'm happy that it's running at all given my lack of skills in the areas.
If you want to make your own, the printables page has the models and a link to the GH with the code, BoM, and build instructions:

Alsof, my son made me a 'create your own #portal2 level' game with its own manual and polymer clay figurines. He captured Cave Johnson's voice pretty well.
EDIT: The game has been given away. Thanks for boosting! :)
At the risk of blowing up my notifications… in case anyone here doesn't yet have Portal 2 and would like to play it, I have this free code I got ages ago from a board game. I *think* it should still work? At least there's no expiration.
Give me a reply and I'll pick someone at my own discretion.
Maybe I'll drown my woes in another attempted play-through of #portal2
I've still never played the full game, and as someone obsessed with #PCGaming that is a dangerous admission to make, I know. I'm just not great with puzzle games.
Its also runs and looks kinda perfect on my #SteamDeck
No way.
NO FUCKING WAY.
PORTAL 2 WITH RTX ANNOUNCEMENT POSSIBLY SOON???

Real question is: will it run on #Linux on launch? I doubt it but worth a try.
Portal 2 gets a compatibility update for Linux

Portal 2 gets a compatibility ...
I’ll never stop thinking about how insanely awesome the Portal 2 launch was.
For no particular reason, I would like to quote #GLaDOS on #Wheatley in #Portal2
«He's not just a regular moron. He's the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the entire facility.» (slow clap)
TFW you're watching the Valve #HalfLife2 documentary and you look at one of the developers, and you say, "Where do I know this guy from?", and you realize he's the model for Cave Johnson from #Portal2.
Science isn’t about why, it’s about why not!" – Portal 2. 
Who needs to explain things when you can just make portals and call it a day? 
What’s your fave Portal 2 quote?
