>Late Zoomers and Gen Alpha don't even know who GLaDOS is or what game she's from.
What happened? How did we reach this point?

OP you're a fucking retard

That aside, it is kinda surprising to me that Portal garnered this normalfag awareness, I always forget that's the case and assume it's up there with games like Half Life or something, not obscure by any means, but not this super front n center in the pop vidya scene... But then I'm reminded that, weirdly enough it is, the average normie is very likely to have a companion cube plushie or know what a portal gun is, I just always forget it's the case

teh cake is a lie!

>>720633204 (OP)
Like how you don't know Sumerian, right?

>>720633370
It's a very marketable game for all demographics. Kids like Portal due to its whimsical humor with the companion cube and the robots, and adults like Portal due to the underlying subtext regarding the lore background of the games.

>>720633204 (OP)
you dumb fucking nigger, zoomers love Portal 2.

>>720634117
It's millennial-core actually

>>720633204 (OP)
Their last single-player title (not VR) was 14 years ago. Was Glados even mentioned in Desk Job?

>>720633370
>kinda surpsing
Clearly you didn't consider that you are a retard too.
Normies do not exist and computer games are public domain in any first or second world country.
Valve games were popular in any computer club, it is only natural that Portal would easily become known after the market is felt.
Also
>Half-Life
>not this super front n center
It isn't so compared to other games NOW and still people hunger.
But HL series is one of the most well known games on Earth, an entire anime has one giant reference to Freeman, some other games had too.

>>720634145
zoomers are reaching their 30's anon, when portal 2 released they were in their peak gaming years.

>>720634145
Portal 2 is. Portal 1 is more tame in that regard. I thing you could point out as being millennial humor is the bit about the cake and it being a lie. It's too over the top in Portal 2 desu. I can stand GLaDOS, but Wheatly never shuts the fuck up!
>>720634084
For all demographics except for fats and orphans.

You got me anon. I certainly didn't expect that people were actually offended by THAT.

Only normies believe this

Nope, just Cave Johnson.

Good.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

What anime?

You've merely stood under yet another crypto-globalist banner and fancied yourself different from all the rest.
You are different, and so are all the rest, because all humans are different, yet all are the same. Ever heard the saying that all happy families are the same? It's like that.
Truly abnormal humans, so abnormal they don't fit in any historic or current conventions are a complex matter - you probably ain't one of them.

Nyaruko. She has a crowbar as a preferred weapon.
Half-Life and Cthulhu Mythos are the same universe.

>>720635663
Ignoring reality has no bearing on it.
A failure or an outlier of human paradigm is still a part of the norm. Humans don't have an ideal "normal" human per se at this time, because humanity is more chaotic than not, and norms vary with time. Core norms don't, and you're a part of them. It's not a bad thing.

you're all snakes aren't you

>>720636051
>doesn't get that explain billions of humans without broadness is too long.
I'll put it in a way that even you should understand.
Humanity has a competing plurality of norms and a core human norm that is foundation of human nature.
Imageboarders, functionally being a crypto-globalist social study project, are effectively the same normies as people they mock.
People who unironically say "normie" tick in exactly the same way as them.
Just in other directions actions and opinions-wise, and even then not always.
You are, as some would put it, are up your own ass so much you don't realize you are.

>>720636051
And those aren't actually broad terms. All those are quite by the book, the rest is easily intuited.

Time passed.
We reached this point because Time passed.
