I'll never admit it on LinkedIn, but in truth, after 2 and a half years unemployed, and 2 months living with my mother, I actually am desperate for work.
So if you have a lead on any coding or QA positions, please let me know. I have 9 years of experience, mostly with C++.

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, if you ever trigger the appearance of a super block on any level, even if you don't use it, it marks your title screen permanently
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

It's embarrassing, but I realized this week that my video card settings were all wrong. "Power management mode" was set to Normal instead of Prefer maximum performance.
I have literally *doubled* my frame rate in every game I play and I am equal parts gobsmacked and pissed about it

Allan Lichtman's analysis when Harris became the nominee was that the incumbent party has never ran a non-incumbent candidate and won the presidency, and he was sweating at that time, even though technically not enough Keys had turned towards an incumbent party loss.
But we never talk about that...

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

That moment in Pokemon Gold and Silver when you beat the Elite 4 and then are told to hop on a ship to the previous games' region and run it all the way back against powered-up versions of the Red and Blue gym leaders, I think til this day, is unmatched in gaming.

Consumer VR is old enough (11+ years starting from Google Cardboard) for people to think it came and went, but:
Pancake lenses
Inside-out tracking
Eye-tracked foveated rendering
Wireless/standalone
Next year's Steam Frame will be the first device with all of the above.

just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

Dunno who needs to hear it, but the optimal way to play any game that involves shooting a gun is in VR.
Tracked motion controls are to shooting as a direct drive wheel and pedals with load cell brakes are to driving.
I Am Your Beast VR is my most anticipated game.

It's way too early and doesn't have a name yet (unused chess puns are rare), but I may as well announce my upcoming game.
It's a chess roguelike with some variation on board size and royal power.

Once I move out, if I can pull it off before I croak from stress alone, I will be living solo for the foreseeable future unless I meet someone who moves how I move, plans how I plan, and walks how I walk.

The only way out of the stressful situation that is my current life is to get a job in my field.
But all of the postings that would make sense for me to apply for are at companies that already rejected me for the same job within the last 6-12 months.
So it's just indefinite arrested development

My mom asked me to take her to go buy dog food. I hesitated, so she walked away. She came back, and then I tried to figure out the logistics of going. Her partner butted in, and they ended up going together. And then getting stranded on the highway.

I think one of the largest cohorts in the US is the displaced New Yorker.
Had a lady just this afternoon ask at the grocery (in rural Florida) if I was her Brooklyn brother. I'm from Queens, but BK is close because I spent a lotta time out there.
We love our home, but we inevitably get priced out.

Maybe they left it out of the anime, but there's a rule that Death Gods can't smash humans.
Also, they're all ase in general, even with each other
