keep boycotting these terrible corporations where & when ya can ~ they need us but we don’t need them :)

Portal is a horror game.

It posits itself as this fun, quirky puzzle game, but that's so clearly not what it is even 5 minutes in. This supposedly bustling science facility is completely silent. No one is watching through the observation windows, the test chambers are visibly dirtied and worn, and the only voice you hear throughout the entire game is the "Pre-Recorded" GLaDOS, who is consistently glitching and saying things that are slightly ominous. This feeling is only amplified by Kelly Bailey's masterful soundtrack, which similarly to Half-Life 2, creates this feeling of loneliness and abandonment. It all comes to a head in Chamber 16 when you finally see Doug Rattman's writings for the first time and realize "Something is VERY wrong here." Afterwards, you learn more and more about how fucked Aperture really is, like how the water in the test chambers is actually a result of flooding, how the Turrets are very much NOT a testing element, and how the Iconic Cake is in fact, a lie. This all comes to a head in the final chamber when the illusion completely falls away and GLaDOS is revealed as a killer, leading into the game's final act. However, even after the Reveal, Portal still manages to keep its horror elements, as GLaDOS slowly hunts you throughout the facility. Stalking, waiting. It's still quiet, still lonely. But now the danger is real, and it's coming for you.

Ok ace experience rant over, have this info about different types of attraction under the split attraction model

It is absolutely amazing to see people joining together en masse to stick it to these big corporations.

As a punk who has boycotted Amazon for years, welcome to the movement everybody!! Great job

I am begging content creators esp educational content creators - please use captions. Yes, I can hear, but I am HOH (hard of hearing) with ADP (auditory processing disorder). & as lovely as most of your voices are, it's easier for me to watch the subtitles than listen to you. But having captions is invaluable to everyone esp to those who can't hear at all.

You hate that your favorite bands are exercising their free speech.
