Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left Right, B,... A…❤️ As a kid I called the Konami Code the “Contra Code.” I played with friends and instinctively recall “Select, Start” at the end, which gives 30 lives for 2 players. Yet “Select” scrolls to the 2 player option and “Start” is necessary to start the game. Thus, it’s technically not part of the code. Pressing only “Start” after goes to 1 player mode with 30 lives. Notably, the 1st Nintendo Power issue’s “Classified Information” section explicitly included “Start” when disclosing the sequence. The Konami Code was initially created by Kazuhisa Hashimoto while testing the arcade to console port of Gradius, which he found too difficult. (It also “includes” Start to start the game.) There, it gave access to all power ups ups. Why it stayed in Gradius is unclear, and it appears in future Konami games, most famously Contra. It confers 30 lives in Contra, Life Force, and others, and is sometimes called “the 30 Lives Code.” The effect can vary in different games. As kids, knowing the code was like magic. We imparted it to our friends like a fabled wisdom. Like riding a bike, I’ll never forget it, and I smile inputting it now just as much as I did as a child. No shame in it—Nintendo codes were and still are rad. Homages to the Konami Code outside of gaming are ubiquitous, including in Wreck it Ralph, unlocking Amazon’s “Super Alexa,” and even unlocking a chiptune version of the National Anthem on a Bank of Canada website! Also, Contra’s soundtrack is so good…I hope I’m not the only dork who takes a moment to jam out to it 🤭show more

"The Chiefs get all the calls." Here's Jawaan Taylor's... "false start" called with 4:32 in the 3rd Q, slowed down to a tenth of a second. It is quite literally not a false start. Yet it was flagged as though it was.show more

🐳 They said it will feel different when we... slide it to the right number, do it to the three combination, and we must be able to unlock it. If New were with us, New would do this technique, but I just couldn’t bear it, I couldn’t feel the difference. context: tay left his camera bag in the plane, the lock code hadnt never been set up, but the person who found it set it up for him and forgot to tell tay the code, they struggled guessing the codeshow more

i found the code for this in the files!!... it's in an object called obj_bushjump, it's a bit broken by default due to the assets being moved at some point and a bit of the code being fucked with/deleted for some reason, but i was able to fix itshow more

Devin Booker started in the left corner, unlike everyone... else. The cheat code is that it allows him to have the initial rack on his right side. That means the right corner rack is also on his right side. And it led to a 30 point round. How did the others not know this??show more

A glimpse of what it was like at MetLife... Stadium yesterday. Granted, it was the start of Q3, but still: this is the state of the Giants right now. This is as empty as I've ever seen it on the All-22 glance. The fanbase is beaten down—too many years like this in a row.show more

one of my favorite ways to use claude code... skills right now - combining remotion with claude-in-chrome for motion video creation. the workflow is addictive. the clip you see here was produced with minimal prompting effort let me know if you would like me to write a full break down of this process. you describe to claude code what you want, claude code writes the remotion components, opens the remotion studio (via browser) with claude-in-chrome, sees the actual rendered output, and iterates on it in real time. need the arrows pointing to the center of the bubbles instead of the edge? just say it. need the layout shifted to the center? say it. claude sees the preview, adjusts the code, re-renders. then when you're happy you tell claude code to render the final video. but skills are what make this possible. remotion knowledge + browser automation + the taste to iterate visually. no copy pasting screenshots back and forth. no "can you try moving it 10px to the right" over chat. it just looks and fixes. this is the kind of workflow that makes you realize how much further claude code can go beyond just writing code in a terminal. i didn't touch any code while working on the clip you see if you haven't tried combining skills together like this - start experimenting. the skills combos is where the magic is at.show more

Update: it’s even easier and faster now. If the... PNL card has a referral code, you can just save it and upload it to Hyperview. It will detect the referral code and automatically redirect you to the wallet. If there’s no referral code it will automatically extract the entry price, leverage and trade direction to find matching positions like in the video below.show more

MVS Players: Since I want @Multiversus to succeed and... become a polished game, I wanted to start collecting all the clips of glitches, infinites, and cheese that you’ve found so far. Collecting them all in a video and send it over to the MVS Devs. Post them here!! I’ll start:show more

Let’s be absolutely clear with the facts from today’s... “march against the far right” which I attended from the start. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 1. These were left-wing organisations from all over the UK. Every union under the sun was in attendance. National Education Union are definitely indoctrinating children within the teacher and school environment, just look at their presence today. It is very concerning. Watch what they teach your kids. They, as an education union, along with Unite the union: join a union, were also fighting over who got to be at the front of the march today, thanks to two lesbian powerhouses not having it. Comedy gold 😂 2. The second video shows over 100 coaches being used to bus in all these so-called “concerned citizens” on organised transport. They are all part of a left-wing narrative which just doesn’t work anymore, we see exactly what they are doing. That was the entire left-wing loony left in attendance. That’s it. That’s them. This is a major point! We have millions who know what’s right, and the left wing in this country is about to get the shock of their lives in the next elections, swept off the map. That was a panic march. They know it’s coming! 3. There was no working class at this march! Fact! It was all middle and upper class people who attend the usual Palestine marches and Palestine Action events. They hate the Union Jack flag and they hate the working class. This was a stunt by the well-organised unions to pretend the country is behind them which it is not. And that was clear as day to witness today. Also a clear panic march. 4. We don’t have much to worry about. These people are not in the real world. They are privileged and wealthy. And as I said, that’s the crowd, that’s them. They are in total fantasy land, and it’s now time for the adults to get back in charge. 5. Long live England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✝️🇬🇧show more

This animation is what kickstarted Code Blue's development, and... I wanted to use a version of this as an intro to Code Blue, but I ultimately decided against it as Code Blue was already late, and requiring a partial re-render, and I didn't think this scene would hit quite the sameshow more

I built a full-stack Chat App to learn React... Deeper. When I started, I only know the basics in React. I was hesitant at first if I would be able to do it or not, but I started building it anyways. Through building it, I have learned: - Typescript - Tailwind - Redux - Firebase - File Structuring - Optimization - More hooks The list could go on... The point is you don't need to know it all to start building something. Fundamentals are enough, you can figure out and learn the others on the way. Here's the link of the app: Source code: I create visual web dev content and its all here:show more

I just saw a video of someone tapping a... card out of a toploader (upside down) and dropping it on the floor 😬 Which in all fairness is how I see most people tap a card out of a toploader. But it’s just as easy to do it right side up, and not risk dropping it on the floor. Or just be careful I guess lolshow more

Claude Artifacts is an amazing feature. I can now... take a photo of something I want to replicate, and it outputs the code with a preview right on my phone. Feels like magic.show more

I'd say Konami was precise in the gameplay adjustments;... it is very good. It looks chaotic at times, but it is fluid and has inertia. The through passes have improved significantly, and I feel the emphasis has been on making statistics important, which alone is already positive. It is a pity that the game's surroundings haven't evolved, and I am speaking about the in-game graphics and stadium immersion, in addition to the lack of a Master League mode. #eFootball #eFootballMobileshow more

Last night felt unreal. i don’t think it has... fully registered with me yet that we got hit by a tornado. firstly i’ll start out by saying troy, me, and the dogs are okay. thank you God. we stayed in the basement laying down under a mattress while we heard crashing and felt the house shaking. after the first wave, we rushed upstairs to my office to grab my streaming computer and put it somewhere safe. never in a million years did i think that in those short couple minutes i would have the weight of my entire ceiling crashing down on my head. it happened so fast and all i could hear was troy screaming my name. it was pitch black. he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the debris as we ran back downstairs with the dogs. then the second wave came. we could hear more ceiling crashing down from upstairs and water was seeping onto us in the basement. we made the decision to completely evacuate the house and drive to my grandparents house, which was terrifying in its own right. power lines were knocked down in the road and we had no service. i think we’re both kind of in shock. we worked so hard on our home & were very proud of it, but at the end of the day, i’m just grateful to have made it out alive with only a welt on the back of my head. i hope everyone else is doing okayshow more

YOUTH ZONE Having coached youth for a while now,... playing Zone is the ultimate cheat code. Players can’t pass far enough or shoot from distance enough to effectively beat a zone. To me, it’s a waste of time playing against a zone in youth basketball. Although I do understand some coaches doing it bc it is easier to put in. I actually like pressing man to man for portions of the game bc it makes players develop how to handle the ball and pass against pressure, as well make faster decisionsshow more
