I only played the original Red, Blue, and Yellow back in the day on my Game Boy, but that surf glitch made me feel like a god, duplicating rare candies until the cows came home.

I remember reading an interview about Full Throttle back in the ‘90s where Tim Schafer described almost exactly this solution. I just Googled “tim schafer sandwich key door,” and lo and behold, I’m not actually going crazy:

One important thing to remember is that if you get a new phone, you’ll need to re-enter your password to unlock any locked notes. This seems trivial, but if you relied on biometrics to the point where you forgot your password, you’ll lose access to your notes. 

TVs have multiple best times to buy. The price for the newest model is highest when it’s introduced and usually sees a small price drop in early summer. Prices then go back up and slowly drop until they get a big Black Friday discount (the current LG C1 OLEDs are cheaper than last year’s CX models). Prices for will be…

My mom always told me not to judge a book by its cover, but is there anybody who looks at a photo of Bobby Kotick and doesn’t think “yup. That guy looks sleazy as fuck?” If you were making a movie and needed someone to play a smarmy, creepy, unscrupulous executive, you’d send a picture of Kotick to all your casting…

An ex of mine would get horrible motion sickness when looking at anything stationary while I was driving, to the point where I would have to pull over to look at a map, call the restaurant, etc. Thank goodness she’s an ex. 

I bought a third party MagSafe charging pad that was touted as a deal of the day on Kinja Deals. It had a MagSafe pad, a regular Qi pad, and an Apple Watch puck, folded flat, and came with a USB C cable and power brick, all for $40ish. Man, what a piece of shit. The power brick feels like it’s empty, it’s so light;…

I get that accidents happen, but how often are people breaking their phones that it makes any sense to get AppleCare every time they get a new phone? It’s a minimum of $229 to fix the screen once with AppleCare, or $329 out of pocket. If you keep your phone for 3 years and break every other phone, you’re looking at…

They’re “roommates” just like Bert and Ernie are “roommates.” 

Cannabis hyperemesis patients are some of my least favorite patients. They come in fairly regularly with the exact same symptoms. You can do a million dollar workup every single time with every last test and scan known to man and not find a damn thing, but as soon as you so much as suggest that their symptoms might be…

It’s still technically a horror movie, but Arachnophobia fucked me up. I used to love spiders. Caught them in jars, checked out books about them from the library, all the weird things a 6 year old kid would do. Then it came on TV one night, and my dad let me watch it because spiders.

Now I can’t stand the sight of…

But it will get better, right? More games will be added over time! Which seems like another strong argument, until you consider how that actually works. Pay for your first year now, and you get fewer games for the same money as someone who waits six months! Buy now, lose out! What an offer.

You’re earning returns on your contributions, growing the money you’ve contributed in the case you need to use it in the future, and it’s an additional bucket whose max annual contribution is separate from the max 401(k) contribution limit (only relevant to people who are maxing out their 401(k)).

Tipping in the United States doesn’t encourage better service by wait staff, it encourages customers to be even bigger entitled assholes. 

Enabling “Motion Calibration & Distance” is crucial. I had it turned off, thinking that letting “Apple Watch Workout” have access to location data would be sufficiency, but my runs were being logged as 10-15% farther than their actual distance, which did have the side benefit of making my pace look awesome.…

It’s all about being in a skating state of mind. 

I often feel like half of the articles under the G/O Media umbrella exist solely to drive links back to other articles. In this case, referencing all the drama around Ubisoft lets them link to all the other coverage of said drama. 

I recommend checking out the fried rice description under the “make sure you still eat like shit” section here.

Nintendo Switch U.

This is probably going to be an unpopular take, but I think the intention of that tweet is truly to be a PSA rather than just pure scaremongering. I’ve taken care of my share of kids (and adults) who accidentally got into THC edibles. They’re invariably fine after a few hours, but those few hours can be really unpleasa…
