"Laser Index [ADVANCED]" | Perpetual Testing

[@forbutinactive]

i love that ngeruma does something, and then he realizes why it doesnt work and when he does it again it still doesnt work

[@ngeruma]

it's what you could call a "unique" play style ;)

[@kip258]

I love having these videos on my second monitor while working. Sometimes I get distracted yelling at you trying to tell you how to solve the puzzle, but i know you can't hear me. :p Thanks for the entertainment!

[@ngeruma]

Thank you for watching, and just so you know i do in fact hear the yelling, ...i hear all the yelling. ;)

[@irh_real]

i cannot believe portal 2 is still relevant in Q3 2022 despite coming out in 2011, we need a portal 3 in the forseeable future

[@ngeruma]

It's totally the community that is keeping portal going, there is a never ending stream of more game for it lol

[@TestChamberJunkie]

Thanks for featuring my puzzle and the shout out ofc! Keep up the good work on you vids Bro, great P2 Community Content for sure!

[@ngeruma]

Hey again TCJ, thank you for sending it, and no worries, i will always be more than happy to give you a shout out! :D

[@Splatatat]

Omg I just noticed the update to the website and it looks amazing! I love how you can search specific test chambers that were suggested and how they're in alphabetical order now!

[@ngeruma]

Thanks, if you can think of any more suggestions on how to make it more practical than please do let me know :D

[@Splatatat]

I was so proud of myself when I finished solving this one. It was challenging but in a fair and very satisfying way and I never felt frustrated or confused. It felt like a redemption after cheesing last weeks puzzle.

[@ngeruma]

I agree this was a really solid and well designed puzzle that was totally fair to you throughout. and yeah super satisfying when you finally figure it out

[@craigtriestofixthings5762]

defo still alive. i played for 4 hours plus on quick play and came across a few maps i got stuck on ^^

[@ngeruma]

I have a slowly growing number of maps on my list that i've had to abandon to try again one day lol

[@HugoBDesigner]

0:41 - Oh, so half of me left? 1:28 - 🎶 _Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am_´🎶 1:38 - HOLY SHIT I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO SAY THAT, I SWEAR! 2:25 - Well, refraction implies it will spread the light into its component wavelengths... which would be interesting to see as a mechanic in Portal 2. Lasers that can be merged and split into a spectrum 🤔 6:45 - I have, in the past, used cube coloring in maps that did not require cube management ;) 8:05 - Cyan indeed. Neither blue, nor green. Bit of both. You could say... green to the left of it, blue to the right, here I am _stuck in the middle with grue_ 10:26 - Or, better yet: walk up to the cube, move it to the side 13:23 - So close, yet so far! Very nice work! You figured the solution out rather quickly, probably quicker than I would've!

[@ngeruma]

0:41 you stayed and watched the video? in that case yes the half of you with common sense left ;) 1:28/1:38 a fine example of how to butcher an attempt at a humour :) 2:25 that would be an amazing addition to the Aperture hardware and it would fit so well with the game, what with being so sciency! 6:45 fair enough, sometimes Hugo just likes his cubes to look pretty. noted. 8:05 you get 10 call back gag points! 10:26 i would of thought you'd seen enough of these to know me better than that by now :) 13:23 if a map isn't straight up deadly enough, apparently i will subconsciously go out of my way to find a way to kill myself it seems. Thanks dude, i think this can count as one of the "having a good night" recordings :D Thanks as always!

[@savasyn]

Yeeaa, great job! Told you that you were getting good at these :) I caught your song reference as you started setting it up. Nice. I have to assume that this is the version of indexing that was meant in the title: "the movement of a machine or part of one from one predetermined position to another in order to carry out a sequence of operations."

[@ngeruma]

yeah i didn't mean to turn that attempt at a joke into such mouth full of nonsense, but at least someone got it :D Oh so not a filing cabinet experiencing VR for the first time? got it! ;)

[@johannes914]

Great map and clever map solving.

[@ngeruma]

Thank you, and thank yo for watching!

[@stacksmasherninja7266]

That arrangement of lights in the corners at 2:50 is 10/10. Pretty cool puzzle overall. GG. I think I solved this by respawning the other cube ! I think you can solve it by respawning either ones which is pretty cool !! No "bri'ish" facts about names this time around ? Sad.

[@ngeruma]

Hey sorry for such a late reply again. i didn't take the time to appreciate those lights at all did i lol. Interesting that you can do this one by respawning either cube, i can't think how it would work off the top of my head but i can kind of picture it working as you would possibly use the light bridge in the same way with either cube. no bri'sh fact ...it turns out we aren't actually that interesting :D As always, thank you for still watching these!

[@bobboland8505]

the number 11 is a myth

[@ngeruma]

but i've seen one before?

[@arconnelly5365]

Can you play portal into the multiverse?

[@ngeruma]

it's on my list for when i have more time to get back into playing all the mods regularly :)

[@XeliyataOwO]

Play in Project Capture

[@ngeruma]

is that the f-stop recreation mod? if so, i already have it on my to-do list :) Thank you for watching and for commenting too :)

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

Just like how long was this week? It feels like this video has come out months ago and it has only been 4 days also because i want to ask have you tried my map yet?

[@ngeruma]

the last couple of weeks have felt really long for me to, and I haven't played "Delightful" yet sorry. soon. Thanks for watching still :)

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

@@ngeruma yeah we had a week in school where you just did useless stuff and adding each other it felt like an eternity

[@ngeruma]

my schools did that too, like the last week of term were always so pointless

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

So lmao why are the subtitles every time i see one of your videos the subtitles are in a random language this time it was german lol also do you have a lot privatly or why is there only one video weekly i am just asking don't get me wrong =:)

[@ngeruma]

I add translated subtitles for any of the languages that the youtube analytics say views are coming from, but i don't know why you would get a random different language one automatically popping up when you watch, that's just weird. There is currently only 1 video a week because that is all i have the time to do for now. I really want to get up to at least 2 a week, a perpetual testing and a mod series, but with work and everything i just don't have the time for now. Thank you for watching and for commenting too :)

[@pI4yr]

where do i get the laser preview thing?

[@ngeruma]

The reflection cube aiming assist thing is a option creators can enable for their maps in BeeMod and in Hammer Editor made maps, i think there is also a console command the player can enter to activate it but i will have to check what it is and if it actually exists. I'll reply here again when i find out :) Thank you for watching and commenting too :)

[@pI4yr]

@@ngeruma thx! its probably a cl_

[@ngeruma]

I'm sure there's a command for it but I've tried searching everything thing I can think of in the Valve commands list, I reccomended asking on a hammer discord or reddit group, the communities there are really helpful

[@whytoexist9954]

Lets go! Another Ngeruma video, speaking of which you are close to 250! A acomplishment for everyone who subscribed to the ngeruma channel! If you didn't subscribe, why the hell are you reading this comment? Anyways, Heres my opinion on this chamber: - Clever, using cube management and cube recycling. which honestly I dislike cause it makes the test chamber 1.435x harder. - Asthetics, the asthetics are great and it shows that the laser aiming with the white lines. - Great Combining, using a light bridge and a laser in 1 portal. I honestly think thats bonkers. Ngeruma, if you are reading this tracing your logo is a peace of cake but exporting to hammer is pure pain. (I mean it) Still, people care about the effort into your videos and i didn't say this to the last comment but I will: Thanks for reading Ngeruma and I hope people notice your channel more often! If Wii2 is reading this: You did a good job at making the intro, i almost got confused with the portal 2 teaser trailer intros with ngeruma's intros!

[@whytoexist9954]

Oh and, ngeruma you are the best! Like the last comment, you deserve more subscribers!

[@ngeruma]

Hey sorry for taking so long to reply and thank you for such lovely comments. i agree with you about cube management and recycling, it can really make a seemingly simple puzzle incredibly complicated, i'm not a big fan of them myself but it does feel satisfying when you finally work it out. I'm intrigued in what you're up to with the logo? do tell lol :D Thanks again for saying such nice things, i really appreciate that! Thank you too for commenting too and of course for enjoying the videos!

[@Bleplar]

Do you have a Discord server Mr Ngeruma?

[@ngeruma]

... sort of, i'll send you an email

[@ScarOne314]
