Matey what the FUCK

how many hours do u have in Battlefield 1 :3

There was a German cat that survived multiple ship sinking during the second world war

two, on steam

I played like the campaign like 5 or 6 years ago or whenever that game came out.

bought it on steam recently for obvious reasons

Alrighty then.

  • In Pokémon Black and White, winning the first fight against Bianca will make Cheren comment on how you didn’t take any damage. This is probably impossible to see normally, since her Pokémon is programmed to always use Tackle first, which won’t miss.

  • MissingNo. was somewhat patched in Pokémon Yellow, but you can still get one in the game through a bunch of exploits.

  • You can get a working game of Pong through Arbitrary Code Execution in Red and Blue.

  • In HeartGold and SoulSilver, you are allowed to get two Level 1 Creation Trio Pokémon if you take an Arceus from the Hall of Origin and an Arceus from other distributions to the Ruins of Alph. However, since the HoO Arceus was never made available for questionable reasoning, the second one of these Pokémon can only be found through using the Void Glitch in Diamond or Pearl, then trading the Arceus to HG or SS.

  • There was a computer worm themed around Pikachu sometime in the 90’s that would make a message show up on your screen. Later, it would try to wipe the entire hard drive, but the developer somehow forgot to override the check the system does on such an action. If you say No when asked if you want to erase it, the worm’s destruction is completely nullified.

  • Just realized I either typed Cheren as Acheron, or he got autocorrected to that. The AO brain rot transcends beyond my mind.

if you like stories like that, heres an airship related one with a good ending but still the airship does not make it as you would guess (its one incident but there is a cat!)

And I’d DO IT AGAIN!! (complete sentence)

:fearful:

a painting of a mountain with a cloudy sky

did you die from that height or did you accidentally have a totem of undying on hand

Landed on my shoulder, dislocated it, was fine. Fun story, though.

I fear that you do not fear

There is no sense of self preservation, Sock can vouch, I’m literally not allowed to walk on the open side of a staircase because I will listen to the intrusive thoughts and impulsive thoughts.

which one

One of the really complex ones with infinite surface area I’m pretty sure

I’ve got another fun fact

One time when the American physical society (a bunch of physicists) had a convention in Las Vegas, the casinos had the lowest amount of profit on record. This is decently well known, the fun fact is that it wasn’t because they were smart and playing the odds as is commonly believed, its because they just didn’t gamble and had a fuck ton of free liquor.

OH, another fun fact:

According to classical depictions of hell, I go to Oblivion. It’s horrifying. There’s nothing. No air, no body for me, no light, no darkness, there is truly, nothing.

Just me with my thoughts.

And it sounds both horrifying and beautiful, in a way?
