    It would be kind of hilarious if all of these were actually fully achievable in real life.

    Magic is just close up street magic, if you select divine powers, someone offers you a job at the local cathedral. Radar sense, a box from amazon with some radar parts literally shows up on your doorstep.

    From this chart, being attractive, smart, or rich are abilities, even gadgets is listed. Logically it doesn’t make sense, but following the rules laid out, those are probably up for grabs.

    Also, who knows what they mean by magic, maybe you can go look up David Blaine.


  • Proton is basically magic. I’ve got 1960 games on steam and I have a chunk that are listed as ‘untested’ but less than 10 that are listed as incompatible. The games listed as untested also usually end up just working. You may have to mess with proton or winetricks sporadically, but even that is very rare in my experience. It is nearly always an issue in a multiplayer game with anti-cheat when it just doesn’t work.
















  • The way the story goes… They didn’t explicitly fuck up, some dude just though two snakes looked cooler than one and we’ve just been running with it for a few decades now. There is a story about how it was originally adopted by military personnel who transported medical supplies (along with messages so… it would kinda made sense) but the justification there does feel super cherry picked. Mostly, the accepted reasoning is that the caduceus is just a better design.


  • Not a completely standard thing, but a lot of places you wouldn’t otherwise want to be known to work for will have something kind of like a parent company with a very nondescript name and a super generalized website that doesn’t really tell you anything useful about what the company actually does. When you list it on your resume, you worked for that company. There’s a lot of other benefits for the business itself, but it works out for the employees.
