Psychonauts 1 tutorializes you about how you can use the levitate power to go over hazardous terrain, like toxic goo or fire or electrified floors.
The only time in the game this can possibly come up is one of the last boss fights in the game, where its not needed and players have probably forgot

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 the tutorial for Kingdom Hearts, in the middle of telling you critical things like how to move, jump, attack, and interact, the game tells you that breaking crates can sometimes give you items. This happens literally 0 times after the tutorial. Not even one additional time.

honestly learning a new "play language" is one of my favorite things in gaming and I'll never fully gel with people who complain that a game doesn't work the same way that unrelated games in the sane genre do
honestly I'm really looking forward to trying out the other modes on my own time. incredibly good game, nothing else like it. and I love that feeling of really having to learn a new set of rules for a game like this

it's normatively bad in many ways and also clearly useful for millions of people. it can run on a laptop, thinking that it's going away is cope. gotta engage with the world at it is.
this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

the worst part of watching smth dubbed is not learning how to spell a name. I went almost all of code geass thinking Diethard was spelled Detard and thought it was the most unfortunate name you could give a man

Sometimes you just need to spend time grinding 2 monsters together and seeing a giant monstrous sprite as the end result (this is probably ass statswise but fuck it i wanna roll with it)

Think my biggest disconnect with people who still shill/watch 4kids/saban dubs is like. Do you not feel lied to?? There's just this inherent loss of trust I felt as early as when I was a teenager finding out about the original, and discovering how much I had been missing

video games talk AT you way too much in the 2020s!
i'm not talking abt too much narrative (not a real issue). i'm talking abt a constant, patronizing use of narration to /predigest/ everything from challenge to mood to emotional impact!

I'm seeing variants of "ah but today's gamers just don't have attention spans so we sort of have to-" rolled out earnestly so
No. You can let those players fail. The AAA conception of handholding is silly. There's huge genres that don't do it.
You just have a bad manager making you do dumb things.

America throwing away its' position as global leader because a bunch of senile geriatrics somehow thought we were getting screwed by, uh, controlling the entire world, is truly something
The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
