New art is arrived !

A large Yutyrannus is being cleaned up by a group of Hongshanornis. A curious Gegepterus approaches.
In the foreground, a Zhongjianosaurus seems interested in the small birds.

Most of the shirt designs I have done are and will remain single, limited run. That's what's what I like to do.
But some designs I've done have been so popular that people never stop bugging me about them, and they've been bootlegged 100s of times. So

I never used it for evil. I would stitch grenades filled with floor cleaner into janitors and say the trigger phrase, "go go gadget windex", over radio comms, causing the janitor to splurt cleaning fluid everywhere and polish the floors far more efficiently than they could manage with a mop

In Space Station 13, you can create cheese by combining milk and enzymes.

You can also create voice-activated bombs and insert them into people through surgery.

You can fill a chemical bomb with milk + enzymes, put it inside someone, and say "cheese" to generate cheese at their feet

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Early builds of 3D Pinball Space Cadet for Windows 95 ran at an uncapped framerate of 100s of frames per second. They would max the CPU at 100% processing.

The test team at my company would use this to stress test our software - they would run our software along with Space Cadet and see what broke.

EverQuest sent a LOT of information to the game client that wasn't visible to the player including every mob alive in a zone. a program called ShowEQ allowed players to scout a zone in seconds. unable to fix without a redesign, the first elite raid zones had hidden mobs named "ShowEQ Users Are Lame"

Per @sheeri.org’s advice.

The coolest but most useless video game knowlege I can think of at the moment is that in Kings Quest II, a Batmobile will randomly drive out of a cave but you can never catch up to it.

If you hack the game to do so though, it *is* programmed to *not* run over you.

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead
