!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Recently beat Portal (first one), for the first time. Please play if you haven't!!!
For me the second was more emotionally important. That small bit of opera when you get on the lift still can move me to tears.
Portal 1 and 2 are both phenomenal. But my feeling at the end was less "Wow that changed my life" and more like "damn it's over, I wish there was another game like that out there"
I made the mistake of trying to go back and play Portal 2 during the pandemic, and the themes of isolation, neglect, abuse and gaslighting just weren't as funny in 2019.
If you check steam, there's 2 or 3 portal games outside the legit 2 that are super fun. One valve even approved as canon IIRC. One of them you go back and forth in time with a third portal type. One of them is even multiplayer.
tbh it's better this way.
Why?
Because nobody could ruin the story on the 3rd attempt.
BUT asssuming they could make the 3rd installment a prefect fit to round it up: Gimme
