I have this really useless talent. I can pick up a video game and become good at it fast. It’s a good talent but it’s really useless when it comes to the real world.
Anyway, there’s only been one game that I was never able to quite grasp and that’s 2048, the little IPhone or Computer game where you match numbers to get to 2048. I’m sure you know about it.
I always played and never got to 2048 until I came across a video on YouTube about a guy that made an AI that learned to play 2048. In the video he says something about keeping the bigger numbers in the corner and adding them up and would you believe it, it actually helps like a lot.
I then got addicted to playing the game just so I can get to 2048 and know that I’m finally good at the one game I was bad at. I played whenever I was bored and it just so happened that I was bored at my friends house one time and just started randomly playing.
