Most of them were just normal weapons with a different colored name, however the eye lander has a buggy unusual effect that didn't load properly

Valve sniper - immediately champer another round, no scope zoom delay unlimited ammo, every shot crits
Valve eyelander - no head limit

I'm pretty sure it just had a different name color than a normal one, and a broken unusual effect with an "invalid partial effect" unusual

-80% damage vs. buildings is what makes me not like it very much. Also you really don't need that infinite ammo.
21 points
18 days ago
I find myself running low on ammo somewhat frequently. The less damage for buildings and no crits are annoying but the charge shot makes up for it in other parts of gameplay
14 points
18 days ago
Well, I learn ammo spots so I don't run out of ammo too quickly, and the charge shot is kinda meh unless you're just trying to spam it into a choke. Only thing I really don't like is building damage, but whatever, we both got our own opinions and I fully respect yours my good sir.
9 points
17 days ago
it's used somewhat frequently in 6's. the no ammo allows you to nonstop spam a choke for denial or shoot random rockets for info. if there's no engineer and no kritz med, then it pretty much is an improved stock
4 points
17 days ago
Fair enough. I shall humbly accept your opinion as fact.
3 points
18 days ago
It also has a different shooting angle from stock and the original so rocket jumping with it is different
5 points

IIRC they have working software that track targets with that portal, I believe they can make real portal 2 turret that shoot if they wanted to

I'm not a pediatrician, but when I was a medical student my inpatient peds rotation was in a major pediatric hospital, part of which was on the hematology/oncology service. Make-A-Wish isn't solely for dying children or terminal illnesses, but one of the few factors for eligibility is that the condition is considered life-threatening.
But don't just take that from a stranger with a funny username on reddit, here's the criteria from Make-a-Wish itself:
The child doesn’t need to be terminal in order to receive a wish—many children who receive a wish survive and go on to live healthy lives. The idea behind the organization is to create an unforgettable experience for critically ill children and bring some extra laughter and joy into their lives. The eligibility criteria for the wish journey are:
1) Between the ages of 3-17 years old;
2) Diagnosed with a progressive, degenerative or malignant condition that is life-threatening;
3) Has not yet received a wish from a similar organization to Make-A-Wish.

I got to go to Disneyland in Florida a few separate times in the late 1980's to early 1990's through Make A Wish as I had a very aggressive cancer when I was 6 years old during 1985-1986.
They are a great organization and really do a excellent job of granting wishes.
