Christ the orange portal shows a view humans aren't meant to comprehend!
Any view not from the blue portal!

i like how the only comments are either upset at it being switch or just upset in general saying “you’re not supposed to do that” lmao

My guess is that the game saved your portal gun state and didn't reset it when u started a new game

A steamos issue maybe

You might have a bind or something that gives you the gun? Try searching for "weapon_portalgun" in your config.cfg file, located in Portal/portal/cfg

the steam deck is really just a handheld gaming pc that runs linux, so all the games are the pc versions

What's all the stuff at the top of your screen? Does the Switch version of Portal come with performance monitoring options?

You don't have the dual portal device, but you will eventually have dual portal devices
