I have a lot of specifications stuck in my head from previous jobs. A fun one is that precast concrete bridge beams aren’t just concrete and rebar. They typically have a bunch (20-30 or more depending on size) of 13 mm steel cables that are each under about 13,000 kg of tension. The cables are pulled to a specific tension in the concrete form, the concrete is poured around them, then the cables are cut at each end.

If you try to use the god mode code from Doom in Heretic, it kills you and tells you not to cheat.

I think the 2nd Descent game worked in a similar fashion. Entering a cheat code from the first Descent game would reduce you to 1% shields and health.

in Earthbound, there’s an exploit where you can have technically infinite PP if you put a Magic Truffle to the last slot of your inventory and buy a good amount of Ketchup Packets.

When you use the Magic Truffle in a battle, only just a Ketchup Packet will be consumed but not the truffle - you still gain 90 PP.

The Roman names for the three fates are Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.

Actually, I suppose there is a reason I remember this, it’s because of Golden Sun.
