This made me rewatch con man s01e08. “Your voice has this unique quality that we think is going to be more effective with the Marion storyline.”



When they have motorway roadworks here there they often have “average speed limit zones”. set like 40-60mph. speed camera enforced at start and end.

Everyone just pootles along steadily at very close to 39 or 49mph no overtaking. It’s great.


Good games have a difficulty curve that scales, usually they just speed up level by level.

“Life is just like tetris, it just gets harder, then you die.” - Mark Twain

You can’t make an ‘easy’ mode for tetris, but you could effectively start at level minus 10 or something.


Text scaling in game where text is plot critical.

Important for things like steamdeck, some marked “verified” should be downgraded to “playable” due to the text size and inability to scale it.


in old dos games “boss key” was usually ctrl+b or ESC

I never understood the point until I grew up a bit.


Aah, i think it was tie-fighter, where you could lock on and press a key to match speeds with an enemy - (albeit instantaneous only). Maybe it was there in x-wing, but i feel like it was one of the minor qol improvements in tie-fighter that made it better.

IIRC goruanga was the cheat code in gta. also it came up when you got all the hare krishnas in one and go and gave 1million points.


Did you try typing [email protected] as your email address?

IRL you don’t need an email account to do road violence. Simulator is worse than life. Matrix, confirmed.


Love playing SuperTuxKart. I love the ability to change game files to make it my own experience. I love the ability to download custom content through

Sounds like it is not broken, better fix it until it is.

Meh it’s open source, fork it.


At work when no one wants to pick up a task, I issue the “slopey shoulders” award.

Are you suggesting “professional gamer” is not a real/worthwhile job?


Man, if i could get a patent on offending people . . . money, money money, win win win.
