cats & trust, p2: combat evolved
i went on another walk. i found a place not far from home, a few bushes where some stray cats live. there're maybe 3-4, and i fed some of them a bit of ham. last night i gave it to them nibble by nibble, letting them eat from my hand, but today i gave up quick and gave a whole piece to just one cat. the other looked a bit sad. i doubt i'll ever get a cat to trust me enough to pet them. i simultaneously want to feed them more, to get them to trust me, and want to give up on it since i heard that cats will never trust humans unless they're exposed to them really early in their life.
Portal 2: Community Edition's public beta released. it has all the latest Source Engine fancies, not just bloom and HDR (which were present since Half-Life 2: Lost Coast), but also e.g. light emitting from portals, custom portal colors, PBR tex. effects, game mounting and native support for workshop items overriding stuff a la Garry's Mod. basically, it looks a lot more modern. i mounted Portal 1 to it, but i don't have any other compatible games installed on my machine right now. it's still pretty new, so there isn't a lot of stuff to try out, but it has some little patches that could make replaying the game look cooler.
