When I managed a pool, I remember the Virginia Graeme Baker act being something I was told about pretty early on; it was a prevalent enough of a thing that sometimes trying to start up my spa's motor wouldn't provide a clear enough suction, and the motor would shut off for safety. A properly managed pool should never have had this risk.

I feel like I'm the only one who prefers the original, gamecube controls. Playing through the switch remake, I played with the new controls for, like, 10 minutes before switching to the original control scheme and playing the rest of the game with it.

Google en passant

I would recommend going and watching the pannenkoek video because it is so good.
The quick version is that it has been known to be possible to clip through the wall to get to the door, but Mario has to be in the walking state to open it. Since the floor directly under the door hitbox is all covered by wall, and the part that isn't covered by wall doesn't have a floor directly below it, it seems like there's no way to actually be in the walking state to open it.
However, by abusing an exploit where Mario finishes his turn around animation the same frame he leaves the ground, the transition to the freefall state is overwritten by the transition to the walking state; this lasts one frame until a check is run next frame — which properly puts him in freefall. Timing the turn around right lets you be past the wall and walking, so you can open the door.

The Finals has been my default game — if none of my friends are playing anything else — since it launched

The UI on the left isn't labeled, so it's hard to tell what any joke could be if you don't know what it is

One of my favorites is from Hollow Knight; at the start of the game, Quirrel makes a comment about your weapon not being very good, saying you should pick one off a corpse as "the dead shouldn't be burdened by such things." Later in the game after you kill the teacher and talk to Quirrel for the last time, when you come back, all that's left is his weapon.

Everything after the Mettaton fight until the end of the Asgore fight is extremely good. The New Home walk is one of my favorite moments in gaming.

It’s the kind of thing that makes you glad you stopped and smelled the pine trees along the way, you know?

The past is past, now, but that’s… you know, that’s okay! It’s never really gone completely. The future is always built on the past, even if we won’t get to see it.

I'm sure there were other consoles that did it, but the one I remember is the NES; it had a physical switch on it for channel 3 or 4, and you had to have your TV tuned to the respective channel to get the game to show up. As to why that was necessary on a technical level, I'm not sure. But it was a thing you had to do.
