Disabled people are so excluded from living life thanks to ableism in society that they should get a free pirating pass tbh.

my income is only books and another similar art in a different field, but definitely no day job, so this does not apply to me, but i think my trot is to acknowledge that this is very very rare and that while talent and persistence matter the most important factor of me being here is luck
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

This one is a stretch, but... The official Star Trek: The Next Generation murder mystery game was likely to serve as a prequel to an unreleased VHS game Star Trek: The Next Generation - Borg Q-Uest.
It also predicted a major part of Deep Space Nine's storyline entirely on accident.

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

In Playstation All Stars Battle Royale, certain alternate costumes had slightly different hitboxes. Playing as Sir Dan in anything but his default costume was a bad idea.
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?

In Playstation All Stars, moves would change properties depending on if you were playing with a HDMI connection or RGY/Scart connections due to the lower frame rate of EU TV's.
This meant some attacks/combos would have a smaller hitbox on the 50hz connection because it skipped active frames.

At one point in the 1990s, approximately 1 in 4 people with HIV were AIDS denialists
They believed HIV didn’t cause AIDS
They refused the drugs. Refused precautions
You don’t hear about them much anymore because they all died

People love to say this when you tell them you’ve been discriminated against or mistreated for being disabled
Just because someone technically shouldn’t do something, doesn’t mean they won’t
Dealing with discrimination is a part of being disabled
