    FISR is legit and is one of my favorite examples of an incredibly obscure yet massively useful programming hack.

    Anyway, along the lines of further nerd things, “SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses (Commentated)” is deceptively gripping. I remember watching it out of mild curiosity only to realize I’d sat there for 10 minutes listening to some guy explaining what half of a press of a button meant within Mario 64 and legitimately enjoying it. The guy somehow comes across as incredibly nerdy while also being very engaging.
