okay, update: i have had this question answered, and I am now looking to speak to game QA testers ON the record about the weirdest, silliest-sounding things they've had to do to make sure games work. the wackier the better. happy to keep folks anon if they prefer. DMs open, email/Signal in bio

Rebekah Valentine @duckvalentine.bsky.social · 5d

would anyone who works in or adjacent to game testing/QA be willing to answer a couple questions for me? off the record, not to be quoted - just need some background info on automations to know whether a scenario someone described in a talk is common or unusual.

The internet is trying to gaslight me into thinking it’s not 2025 and I don’t know how to process this.

Nothing like the smell of benzoyl peroxide to take me back to my youth 🙃

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

That secret little thrill you get when you eat out of a bowl with a fork and off of a plate with a spoon. 😈🍽️🍜

The focus shouldn’t be “The majority of people who get SNAP work!” and should be “Food is a human right and you shouldn’t have to work to be worthy of it.”

That sudden urge to go back to one of your old libraries and reorganize their entire SuDocs collection.

The pomegranates at my local Costco are looking a little pathetic still. Maybe in a few more weeks.

"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad!

Great tip. I used orzo in a soup once and it absorbed practically all the liquid

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I love whenever I see vintage Corelle plates on the food feed. Takes me back in time and makes me feel how connected we all are. 🍜🍽️
