    When I played Skyrim I saved all the apples I could find. I didn’t eat a single one. And I went out of my way to find or buy more all the time. When I got a house I dedicated a room for apple storage.


    Oh, just remembered: I sometimes eat the peanuts with the shell on. It tastes nothing, so I don’t have a problem with it.







  • It was reasonably common in the floppy disk era. Some games allowed you to play for a set amount of time, after which it asked you for something external to the game itself. Some examples I remember:

    • Dune 2 asked for some units stats that could be found in the games manual
    • Day of the Tentacle needed you to complete a battery blueprint sketch in game. The missing info could be found in the manual
    • Monkey Island 2 asked for a voodoo recipe. To find the correct measurements, you had to spin two overlaid sheets to align something, which revealed a value.

    All of the above could of course be copied and/or guessed, but it did at least introduce some bar of entry.
