  • I’ve finally sat down and beat the first Psychonauts game, in anticipation for the sequel. What a gem, I’m glad I did! Can’t wait to dive into 2.

    Side note, I know Steam got the easier, patched version of Meat Circus and that still kicked my ass for a good handful of tries. Hell of a difficulty spike for a game that’d been really forgiving right up to that point, apparently failing either the escort section or the platforming gauntlet used to mean losing a life? I’d probably have watched the ending on yt at that point lol. As it is, I found it needlessly frustrating and mildly annoying but definitely doable.



  • So a form is basically a group of fields, think name, email and whatnot. By default, whenever you press enter in one of those, the browser takes whatever content is in the fields and follows some steps but the end result is it reloads the entire page. Nowadays that’s not what you want 99% of the time but it’s still the default behavior, so you have to instruct the browser not to do so by adding a couple lines of code. Whoever programmed this particular website then thought to inform the user that wasn’t going to work on top of presumably suppressing the original behavior.


  • As a web developer of questionable frontend skills, it kinda looks like something you’d do as a band-aid solution if you had no idea how forms work or how to suppress their default events, which do happen to include the enter key being pressed. Really wild to go about it that route, whatever the intention was lol.

    Edit: While typing my other response down this comment thread, I realized for this to happen the developer must have actually suppressed the event correctly so it’s even weirder they chose to handle it like this
