Discussion VideoGame / Portal2

Since the site update, the Fanfic Recs page is only linked to from the Portal main page... Is there any way to get the link to show up on the Portal 2 main page as well?

Spoiler Reminder:

Basic elements of the plot are not spoilers. Only tag the most significant bits, otherwise the page looks like Swiss cheese.

Not to argue with the mod, but...

• Luck-Based Mission: One of the achievements is for catching a Weighted Storage Cube in a particular test chamber before it touches the ground after being doused in Repulsion Gel. It's pure blind luck if the cube will even bounce in your direction to begin with. *
  ^{It can be done easily, however, by alternating Repulsion Gel with water to partially break the glass box where the cube is held, then jumping into said box.}

...that hottip isn't Walkthrough Mode?

How spoilery is Potat OS? If it's particularly spoilery, I suggest we remove her usual formatting from her quotes and spoiler the name?

I can't remember the actual words, but one quote that was removed of G La DOS is another example of Getting Crap Past the Radar. I'll tell you the words after a while...

This is a Portal 2 specific problem but

Dummied Out materials shouldn't be affecting tropes. They're not in the final build and they're not part of the story. It's like using concept art and calling it canon.

Suggestion for and edit about what i noticed about Caroline, It would fits nice if there was something under Schrodinger's Cat or somewhere about how Schrodinger's Cat may also be Valve's humor on the possibility of Caroline Being Dead or Alive herself. Word of mouth says she's dead, but the ending song says otherwise. So, taking hint from the Comic, and the other clues that tie it to the game, it's just natural to think she's is to be assumed both Alive and Dead. Call me crazy.

Thought I'd run this by on this page rather than start editing back and forth.

I added the fact that "Does a set of all sets contain itself?" is in fact not a paradox to the Did Not Do The Research entry.

It was removed by the user fuckshitpiss with the comment "a set only contains itself in naive set theory. the idea is that of a chicken and egg paradox. look up russell's paradox."

Now, I know that Russel's Paradox is a paradox (hence the name) but the question here is not Russel's Paradox but "Does a set of all sets contain itself?". Since set theory is not really my area of expertise I might be wrong in this but here's how I understand it.

In naive set theory as said, the answer is simply yes, a set containing all sets contains itself, so it's not a paradox. Now, in other types of set theory sets can not contain themselves, which means that the answer is either "No, sets can not contain themselves" or "N/A, a set can not contain itself so the question is meaningless". In either case the question is still not a paradox.

Thoughts?
