Right, but not like just a plain flathead screwdriver that you carry around in your pocket

At least one studio, Larian, has confirmed this is the case for them.

When discussing the pressures the company faces when releasing a game in early access, such as audience expectations, Vincke told us, "Interestingly, another [issue Larian is facing] is really the price of RAM and the price of SSDs and f**k, man. It's like, literally, we've never had it like this."

He continued, "It kind of ruins all of your projections that you had about it because normally, you know the curves, and you can protect the hardware. It's gonna be an interesting one. It means that most likely, we already need to do a lot of optimization work in early access that we didn't necessarily want to do at that point in time. So it's challenging, but it's video games."

A knife rack... a knife rack. I don't even own a knife, let alone many knives that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do... with a knife rack?

This legit sounds like a job for Simone Giertz. She made a fricken ring into a screwdriver, surely she can make a knife tipped with a screwdriver! I guess you'd need two though, one for phillips and one for flat.

I just want to use this post to make a PSA - ALWAYS keep a blade in your car! In the case of a serious accident you may need it to cut off your or a passenger's seatbelt, as the locking mechanisms can get stuck and make it difficult to reach the buckle/release. Ideally you want to keep a "vehicle escape tool" which has a hooked safety blade and a punch for shattering your windows if needed. But the right knife could do in a pinch.

I would say a hunting/bowie knife is a very specific type of tool. I suppose it matters greatly where you live in the world as to what would be normal to carry as a tool. That might not set off any flags in West Virginia but if someone was walking around a big city with a bowie knife or something I would be more concerned.

Ironically, someone carrying a pocket knife is way less weird to me than the idea of someone carrying a screwdriver.

Multi-tools/swiss army knifes are a thing. Just because something has a blade doesnt make it a weapon, but I get it.
