if you haven't installed Portal 2: In Motion DLC on the PS3 version of Portal 2, the logs get spammed with "DLC3_INSTALLED"

you probably will never ever notice this

but i do

Public

@ipg that seems like it would have made debugging harder for valve.. like if i put that into the video game i would have gone "this is an unacceptable solution, i can't see if anything else is working"

Public

@monorail presumably the developers had Portal 2: In Motion installed

(alternative: this is somehow a log line that is compiled out of debug builds but left in retail builds)

(alternative 2: valve employees wrote a custom script to filter out that specific line from debug lines because they love half-assed things that will cause issues for me, specifically, over a decade later)

Public

@ipg surely when adding dlc to a game you also have to test that the base game still works without it..

Public

@ipg i'm leaning towards alternative 2

@monorail including the part i said its because they hate me in particular?

Quiet public

@ipg yeah it's probably that

Quiet public

@ipg you keep hacking their stuff

Quiet public

@monorail not my fault they make it so hackable. and they dont even let me talk about the really cool stuff
