this is, surprisingly, a significant enough result in mathematics to have its own name, the handshaking lemma

fun math fact: if you have a bunch of people (doesn't matter how many), and some of them shake hands with each other (doesn't matter how many or which), the number of people who shook hands with an odd number of other people will always be even

fun fact: Dragon Quest XI is the first dragon quest (if you don't count X) that was actually developed by (square) enix

all the previous games were developed by other studios--the first several actually by Chunsoft of mystery dungeon fame

food, fun fact 

there's an oft-repeated bit of advice that says you should always put enough salt in your pasta water to make it "as salty as the sea"

turns out, if you actually do that by putting the stoichiometric amount of salt equal to what there is in seawater, you end up with pasta that's inedibly salty

but! the acceptable range of saltiness for pasta cooking includes the point where adding more salt doesn't much change the taste because you're already overloading the salt receptors on your tongue. so the proper amount of salt in the water *tastes* about the same saltiness as seawater

why do snes roms generally use the file extension .smc

most of the time it's something more obvious like .nes for nes or .gb for gameboy, so why isn't it .sfc? i get why it wouldn't be .snes, because the early days of snes emulators there would still be lots of systems out there that didn't like more than three characters in file extensions but .sfc fits fine

watching the gdq run of the new kirby and right off the bat i am amused by the fact that a major reason for playing it on easy mode is that the bonuses you get as a reward for beating levels on hard mode lose time

it's kind of frustrating that mobile gaming got taken over by exploitative junk before it ever had a chance to be anything better
