Did a game ever delete your save data? Or brick your entire console? Have you ever come across horrific visual bugs? Or scary audio? What are your experiences with glitches?

      Watched this a few months ago. Started out as an interesting idea for a video. Thought I’d save it for later and move after watching the first 10 minutes since it was going to be like watching a full length movie. I ended up watching a bit more and was looking for a good place to stop and finish another time. … I ended up staying up to finish it, as the story just got more and more intriguing, the longer I watched. (Two Thumbs up)

      That is one stunning mod. It goes from “Oh neat, a 10 year old modeled his house in Doom” to “What the hell?!” in a very short time.

    InB4 someone mentions Doki Doki Literature Club. I can’t remember all the weird shit that it had, but when you complete the game it corrupts the game files so you can’t play again.

      That’s a game I can only play once, and I suppose you only really need to. But knowing the things that happen now I don’t think I could go back even if there is more to do. Very interesting and well done game but it’s fucking harrowing.

    Maybe not exactly what you were getting at but the start of Prey (2017) really stands out to me. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone who hasn’t played it, but it’s was one of the few times a game actually made me pause to seriously reflect the situation.

    If you do get the game don’t look at any reviews or guides if you get stuck before you reach the Talos 1 Lobby.

    Massive spoiler for the first hour of the game, seriously don’t read unless you don’t play games:

    spoiler

    You take a helicopter ride from an apartment to take some tests before you are to go to a space station. Only one of the testers is attacked by something alien and you are knocked out by a tests chamber’s gas. You wake up on the same day back in your apartment, but this time there’s a dead person in the hall way and you’re stuck in the apartment building. Breaking the window of your apartment (something you aren’t prompted to even do) reveals the entire space you traveled the prior day has been theater conducted inside a massive testing chamber already on the space station you were told you were heading to.

    Video on it: https://youtu.be/GLExoItBLVc?si=JNOqinNU_hTTLGC7

    Try DDLC. Don’t watch any spoilers or even search it up in anything other than Steam or look at the comments. You will be spoiled.

    Edit: DDLC = Doki Doki Literature Club

    My sim racing wheel used to randomly steer all over the place and pin the throttle so I crashed into people online, extremely embarrassing in a league scenario.

    Took me months to figure out itthe cheap Bluetooth mini keyboard had a key stuck that was spamming my USB inputs.

    When Spyro 3 was being made, aggressive piracy was a huge thing. So the developers decided to design the game so that crude copies of it would play a highly modified, unwinnable and intentionally buggy version of the game that didn’t reveal its existence as unwinnable until half-way through the game where the save fairy gives you the warning this meme conveniently displays. Guess what “game” my introduction to Spyro was?
