ppl are always like “no game is perfect you can’t please EVERYbody” but when was the last time you heard a motherfucker complain about portal

I’m only complaining about it because Steam claims it will now run Portal under Linux, but I’ve been trying to get it to work for three or four days now and it still won’t run. The game’s good (I got maybe two-thirds of the way through it back on Windows, Land of Things Just Working), if you can get it to start.

Just wanted to say that you have inspired me. I will get the copy of Portal I obtained from Free Portal Week playable if I have to hook up a second monitor and turn it on its side.

(Now to go ask resident computer expert Dad if this is feasible with stuff currently lying around the house.)

P.S. If it were me, I’d have taken a piece of paper from a grocery flyer, taped it into a cylinder or maybe cone, and worn that. Just saying.

Edit: I figured it out. My screen is so ridiculously wide it mistook the width for the height and vice versa. I corrected it, and the problem’s fixed. No second monitor required! Let’s see if I run into any more problems…
