Shit solutions for shitty problems
(thelemmy.club)
This made me laugh entirely too hard. I hadnโt seen that xkcd before. Haha.

I think the joke is the hydraulic press could have compressed them into a standard cube if the weird packing method wasn't used.
If I was programming for a Resident Evil game, I'd make it so that if you lined up items all the way across the breifcase, they would disappear like Tetris.
Take out the resident because that's just evil.

Nah make it fun, each different way of lining up your items gives you different stat boosts. Like if you fill your suitcase with just green herbs then you are able to regenerate health or if you mix shotgun shells with fish then you can get ammo from fishing.
Tbf in this scenario it would 100% be the game dev who's an asshole for giving you an inventory space whose size is not a multiple of the size of the items
The page with all the different packing optima is one of my favorite pages on the internet: https://erich-friedman.github.io/packing/index.html
Take them out of the boxes. It'll be more fun too when needed.
TSA rule
What's the rules for this puzzle/challenge? Can't you just make the squares smaller, and then fit an infinite number of squares?
Minimum area to contain unit-sized blocks, or largest blocks in a unit-sized area, depending on your perspective.
But you are maximizing the area of the squares
