In MGS5 if you used the controller and mouse to select things at the same time in the weapons customization window you could equip attachments and upgrades in ways that did not make sense but would still work. My fav example being a suppressor on a grenade giving an explosion that guards could not detect.

SICP is nice, but doesn't fully capture the true spirit of Scheme:

1. Start a cool project.
2. Write code that should work. Enjoy logical, functional, dynamic code.
3. Libraries you need are nonexistent or so slow you have to write your own. Smash your head into the keyboard.
4. Repeat 2-3 until you lose sight of 1.
5. Switch to a new Scheme implementation. "Surely this one will be better!" Goto 1.

“To the man with a hammer, everything is a nail” can be exploited for infinite nails. To do this you must equip multiple hammers (they stack) and then simply view any object. To balance the hammer=nail function the game will then create a new nail for every hammer equipped, adding the nail to your inventory.

The terminal-based retro shooter now has moving terrain!

Quickly studied the camera in Kirby's Adventure, and I'm surprised to find that its follow window is effectively a 32×32 pixel square — off-center by 16px left & 32px up.

The only reason why Kirby travels outside the square is because the majority of its rooms only scroll along one axis, horizontal or vertical.

"An Introduction To Real-Time Subsurface Scattering" is a great overview of the techniques https://therealmjp.github.io/posts/sss-intro/

Shigeru Miyamoto to the n64 Goldeneye staff:

Would be great to have more gamedevs involved in WebGPU, https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb, development. Interestingly enough there's talk of a C API for it so you could program against that and potentially use WASM to run your game in the browser.

WebKit is single handedly keeping the console modding scene alive with all of its vulnerabilities.
