OW's art director one told me during Zangarmarsh's development, the perf was HORRIFIC and artists were stumped as to why. Turns out designers had downscaled the GIANT mushrooms into tiny ones and dropped them all over the map. https://t.co/zINrxaPPrO pic.twitter.com/bM5C8Cxvlc

In Super Mario World, the variable that determines which way Mario is facing has two values that are used - left and right - and 254 unused values. Making Mario face these "extradimensional directions" can distort him, discolor him, or even turn him into eggs. pic.twitter.com/2HPOxh5hl7

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user"

Outer Wilds

I spent all night convinced that my MacBook Air had a hardware failure—random text entry, clicking led to weird behavior, etc. I read console logs, booted into safe mode, performed hardware diagnostics. It turns out my cat was sitting on the wireless keyboard in the other room.
