They/them preferred, but I won’t be mad if you forget :). Retired programmer. Many health conditions. If I’m uncharacteristically grumpy, I probably have a migraine.

    I remember getting extremely mad at the jackals. We played in couch coop multiplayer but it actually made the game harder because now twice as many people could die randomly to bullshit.

    Actually finishing the whole game on legendary though felt so good. It was an actual achievement that took months. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment (lol).

    Recently I played Doom Eternal, and I immediately noticed my health bar was lying to me. Low health was not actually low health, because it was doing some bullshit to create artificially tense moments. It kind of cheapened the experience, like winning had nothing to do with my skill, it was inevitable.


  • Have you heard of I Wanna Be the Guy or other Kaizo games? That’s basically their motto. A lot of Super Mario Maker troll levels are designed to be completely unbeatable, for example.

    I used to watch this YouTuber who used to play random levels in Mario Maker, and some of them were just truly crazy. I couldn’t find a good example but you might find it interesting anyway.




  • People who think they’re 100% fine if they drink it before 2pm should check out how half life works. Not the game, the pharmaceutical concept. It’s super interesting.

    Since it compounds, if you drink one cup in the morning, you will still have roughly 13% of that caffeine in your body at midnight. Both from the morning coffee, and the dregs over the last week. And that’s if your body processes it at an average speed; some people have a long half life of 10 hours, and the math gets crazy. You end up with like 40% of a coffee in your blood at midnight, and it’s a wonder why you can’t sleep!

    I always thought it was extremely silly where I live there is just a “recycling bin”. The lack of specificity makes the problem worse because people get confused what is recyclable. The infamous example is disgusting dirty nappies going in recycle bin because they have plastic in them…

    I’ve also seen family members put dirty plastic wrap / film in recycling, and composite materials like Doritos packets. I’ve tried to explain it but they just don’t get it, it’s too complicated for most people. That’s not saying they’re dumb or anything; it is complicated. That just means we should maybe consider simplifying it.

    I feel like if there was a “glass” bin, most people would only put glass in it. Same with metal (not sure most people could separate aluminium with steel or anything like that).
