It failed to discover the one video game I did want it to :(

In case anyone might know, it was an early 2000s or very late 90s PC side scrolling shooter where you played a macho male dude shooting guns at humanoid pigs in a bid to save a damsel in distress.

Other than that, I've used it to brainstorm ideas for my novel, polish up dialogue when I feel too lazy, study medicine (!) or at least the bits I slept through in med school, and seek information on various random facts where it would do better than Google.

I have used it to find watch orders for obscure anime too, now that I think about it.

Are you thinking of Duke Nukem 1 and 2 and misremembering the pig cops from duke nukem 3D?

No, I don't think that's it, I googled the games and they're nothing like I remembered, even if the protagonist probably wore a leather jacket like Duke.

Oh, and programming. I doubt I'll ever become a programmer, but it's great for understanding concepts or writing code.

I might even use it to make some small mods for Rimworld in the future.
