i always thought it would be fun if kleiner modified chell's portal gun to work on surfaces outside of aperture. of course, this begs glados' response. so i uberducked it
text under cut!
GLaDOS: You have got to be fucking kidding me. I, the most advanced intelligence in the observable universe, have spent the past [unintelligible] years developing a dual portal gun model that is beyond improvement, with the single limitation that it can only be used on surfaces painted with moon rocks, and you're telling me some dipshit from B L A C K M E S A managed to find a workaround in a single afternoon with equipment he got from the trash? ...Unbelievable. I don't have to kiss up to that troglodyte Kleiner (who couldn't even retrieve his own test subject from wherever he teleported him) just because he made my gun work on dirt. He's probably huffing paint fumes in a shack somewhere with that Calhoun meathead...God I fucking hate Black Mesa
Giving this ice cream sandwich to all of my followers just to spite the one person who unfollowed me recently. Are you happy? Are you fucking glad? Now my funny number is gone and I've never been more devastated. Tell me what it was. Was it me blowing up the bucket? Was it the bucket destroyer? Fuck you. All 68 of us are eating ice cream and laughing without you.
Well it was fun while it lasted, but this is probably for the best given all the AI drama still going on that’s been disrupting the livelihood of many talented artists, voice actors, singers, writers, and actors in the film industry. We should definitely support the work of real people as much as we can because sadly, like any tool, technology can always be abused if used the wrong way. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoyed being able to imagine Danny or Vlad saying certain lines of dialogue, however, we should always remember it was the voice actors who played them back in the day that brought these amazing characters to life in the first place.
Without them, none of these characters would exist let alone have a voice. Literally!
So yeah, just a heads up the policy has changed for uberduck which means the fan uploaded character voices are no longer available for public use. You can read that here: https://uberduck.ai/blog/new-voice-hosting-policy Thankfully I don’t have to take down or delete any of the audio clips I’ve already shared on tumblr which means you’re free to check them out for a bit of nostalgia. And on one final note, I think we all probably know who to blame for AI trying to take over the world right now am I right? This whole mess screams Technus!
