Man, I actually liked the SirGrafo era of r/comics. Sure as hell was miles better than the Pizzacake/HowlingElk/etc "relatable" no-punchlines era
Buying Portal is the reason I made my Steam account. In 2011.
I really should beat that.
I hear there will be cake if you make it.
its like quantum leap rules though. youd only be able to identify phrases in your own timeline... maybe
What is this referencing I fear I'm out of touch?
Portal, game.
Original portal game. Beautiful puzzle game, worth a go
Patient gamer here. Wife and I said that catchphrase in 2015. Don't trust this method when time traveling!
I built my older kid a gaming PC for his birthday. He just turned 10. It's not great...I got him a new CPU (technically better than mine, 5600x3d) and mobo, and handed-down 32gb of 2400, nvme, SSD, and my 1660 Super...so certainly decent and capable, but not an antique, and not a power horse. Super mid.
For some reason, one of the first games he wanted to play was Portal. So, for reference, Portal came out well before he did, and I'm sure he only knows of it because of references in cartoons.
But my younger kid...he's 7...he's nobodies fool. He knew as soon as cake was promised that it's not going to happen. He told me, essentially as soon as it was announced in the game...that the cake is a lie.
Serious proud dad moment. It's like "The Cake is a Lie" was imbued into the very sperm that gestated into him.
Oh and second game older game wanted to play on his new PC was Skyrim.
I'm hep to the patois.
Does the narwhal bacon at midnight?
that was only reddit exclusive, the cake is lie, was everywhere including irl
for me that game is still a modern day game and yet it feels like ancient history
Games like that are what they took from us
It will be 20 years old next year btw.
This was a triumph...
I'm making a note here: huge success
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

I guess this is the place to remind everyone that we did not save the cheerleader, so we did not save the world.
She's dead.
Jealous, I would love to be this age at that time, but nooo, I had to be younger then.
For decades day at the school district office I work at’s spirit week I wore my shirt with the Tardis coming out of the blue portal and entering the orange portal on the back to rep the late aughts. I said “the cake is a lie” a few times, but basically nobody got it.
I use the name CAKE to do most of my gaming and I’m shocked how often I still get this, lol it does help me figure out who the adults in the lobby are though
You can perhaps tell who the elderly are, if they ask if you're reluctantly crouched at the starting line.
I used that phrase way longer than I should have it seems
Meme-dating.
Or 1793, since it was historically inaccurate
